The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received January 19—4:50 p.m.]
183. Meeting with the Hungarians took place today as scheduled. The Hungarian delegation questioned the interpretation of various of the articles but no changes were made in the text of the document. It was agreed that the armistice would be signed tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. Moscow time.
I understand that a general statement will be made over the Soviet radio tomorrow night, Saturday, at 7 p.m. and we have agreed that the text of the armistice will be released simultaneously in the three capitals at 7 p.m. Sunday Moscow time.
A few very minor last minute changes in wording will be wired by the British Embassy.
