The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to President Truman and the Secretary of State
081800. As the time is so short before the Berlin meeting and as it seems doubtful that Soong will be successful in reaching agreement with Stalin I recommend that immediate steps be taken to prepare for use at Berlin a study of our interpretation of the Yalta Agreement specifically the terms which we believe China should grant the Soviet Government in regard to the ports and railroads and what action should be expected of China at this time in connection with preservation of status quo in Outer Mongolia.
In addition I suggest that preparations should be made for a detailed discussion of the character of the proposed four-power trusteeship for Korea.
