S. Military Attache, London, England. TO : The President of The United States. 11 Nr : 81 Filed 091600Z. Prime Minister to President Truman. Personal and TOP SECRET. Number 81. 1. Our missions to Vienna have been ordered by Marshal Tolbukin to leave by June 10th or llth. They have not been allowed to see anything outside the strict city limits, and only one airfield can be permitted for the Allies. Here is the capital of Austria which by agreement is to be divided, like the country itself, into four zones: but no one has any powers there except the Russians and not even ordinary diplomatic rights are allowed. If we give way in this matter, we must regard Austria as in the Sovietized half of Europe. 2. On the other hand, the Russians demand the withdrawal of the American and British forces in Germany to the occupation line, fixed so long ago in circunstances so different, and Berlin of course is so far completely Sovietized.
