Message to H. Truman (Correspondence Vol. 2, No. 353)

Berlin
My dear Mr President,
I have received your message of July 20 about diverting the route of U.S. and Soviet traffic from Tehran to Berlin. The Soviet Government takes a favourable view of your proposal. The appropriate Soviet authorities have been instructed to discuss with U.S. representatives the technical problems arising out of the proposal. J. Stalin
Berlin, July 29, 1945
