TELEPHONE MESSAGE
to Cde. STALIN
We are sending you a draft of your telegram which Molotov should send to Harriman personally if you approve this draft:
“I have received a telegram from V. M. Molotov that you have instructions to pass me a message of the President personally in connection with the First Session of the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs and to discuss some issues with me. I of course will receive you with pleasure as a guest and a friend where I am spending my vacation right now. At the same time I should say that we are not accustomed for the head of government on vacation to make any decision without the participation of his colleagues in the government. In any event, I consider it impossible to state my opinion on the questions involved in the President’s message without familiarization with this message beforehand”.
We await your decision.
MOLOTOV, BERIA, MALENKOV, MIKOYAN

Received via VCh
