SECKLI - 19 - In the absence of altered instructions, we shall continue along the course now indicated for the short-run future. I must emphasize, however, that this line of discussion can hardly last more than another 30 to 60 days. It is of course always possible that the Soviet Union may initiate a break. In this event, we would be forced immediately to mount a vigorous counter-attack on the Soviet position, aimed at demonstrating the utter inadequacy of the Soviet plan and its repudiation of the Commis: si on's mandate which they themselves sponsored in the Moscow Declaration. 2. Long-Term Policy Within the next 30 to 60 days, it will become necessary to choose one of the two alternatives outlined in Section D above. This decision on the longer-run action requires new instructions taking into account the relation of the negotiations on atomic ener gy to the overall pattern of our foreign policy. A decision as to the course which we shall pursue is essential before the end of this year, because three present members, namely Egypt, Mexico, and the Nether- lands, retire on January 1, 1947. These three nations are all supporters of the U. S. proposals. They will be re- placed by three others selected by the General Assembly. The successors that have been discussed are Belgium, SECN
