Memorandum by the Secretary of State to the Director of the Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs ( Murray )

[ Washington ,] December 23, 1944.

Subject: Soviet-Iranian Relations; Free Port and Railway Trusteeship

I did not have an opportunity to discuss this with the President at our meeting yesterday.

I still feel it would be preferable for me to take this up in person rather than to send over a memorandum, and unless you feel otherwise, I will plan to bring it up the next time I am with the President.
