United Kingdom have explicitly maintained the position that they
could accept no arrangement which would deny or impair the rights in
Berlin acquired by them through the defeat and unconditional surrender
of Germany and by four-power agreement, but they were, however,
willing to work out in good faith any practical arrangements, consistent
with their rights and duties, for restoring to normal the situation
in Berlin, including the problems presented by the existence of two
"NATIONAL
ARCHIVES AND
currencies in that city.

3. After long and patient discussion, agreement was arrived
at in Moscow on a directive to the four military governors under which
the restrictive measures placed by the Soviet Military Government upon
transport and communications between the Western Zones and Berlin would
be lifted simultaneously with the introduction of the German mark of the
Soviet Zone as the sole currency for Berlin under four-power control of
its issue and continued use in Berlin.
4. In connection with the lifting of restrictions and the
maintenance of freedom of communication and the transport of persons
and goods between Berlin and the Western Zones, the agreed directive
provided that restrictions recently imposed should be lifted.
Generalissimo Stalin during the discussions personally confirmed that
this meant the removal also of any restrictions imposed prior to June
18, 1948.
