The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State

3231. ReDeptel 2066, August 29, 3 p.m. I have noted that the Department has given Stepanov final terms on all points under discussion in connection with Fourth Protocol financial proposal. I am so informing Mikoyan in connection with a letter I am addressing to him on related matters. The Department has been most cooperative and patient with the Soviets in what must have been most exasperating negotiations and I hope that as a matter of principle no further concessions will be made.

Harriman
