DECLASSIFIED TOP SECRET E. O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and S(D) or Dept. of State letter, 352 F-36 DOCUMENT G NLE HC NARS EXTRACT Minutes of the Second Meeting of the Foreign Ministers, July 19, 1945, 11 a.m., Mr. Eden presiding. Reconsideration of Paper on Council of Foreign Ministers MR. BYRNES stated that he wished to move reconsideration of the language of the paper on the Council of Foreign Ministers. He referred to the members charged with duties under section 3 and specifically to the language restricting membership to governments signatory to the terms of sur- render. He pointed out that some govern- ments were at war but were not signatory to the armistice terms and asked that the draft- ing committee on this subject be instructed to reconcile points of view on this phase of the matter. MR. MOLOTOV inquired whether paragraph 3 was referred to and stated that it was not quite clear to him what question was involved. MR. BYRNES pointed out that France, for example, was at war with Italy but was not signatory to the armistice terms and asked whether she would be permitted to participate in discussions regarding Italy. MR. MOLOTOV replied that he believed that she would. MR. BYRNES stated that under the present language of this paper he did not believe that a state in such a situation could par- ticipate. MR. MOLOTOV asked whether the change would provide only for Italy. MR. BYRNES replied that if Russia, for example, were at war with a country but was not a signatory to the armistice terms, Russia should not be excluded. TOP SECRET
