TO:
THE PRIME MINISTER
U.S.
FROM: THE PRESIDENT
AS SUGGESTED IN YOUR NUMBER 43, I AM SENDING
THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO MARSHAL STALIN ALONG THE
LINES OF YOUR MESSAGE TO HIM:
"I AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE SOVIET
AUTHORITIES ARE NOW REFUSING TO PERMIT AMERICAN AND
ALLIED REPRESENTATIVES TO PROCEED TO VIENNA, CON-
TRARY TO THE GOOD SUGGESTION YOU MADE TO AMBASSADOR
HARRIMAN ON APRIL 13 THAT REPRESENTATIVES GO THERE
TO STUDY THE VIENNA ZONES OF OCCUPATION, IN ORDER
THAT THE AGREEMENTS ON THE OCCUPATION OF AUSTRIA
NOW PENDING IN THE EUROPEAN ADVISORY COMMISSION MAY
BE COMPLETED.
"
INTELLIGENT ARRANG EMENT OF THE VIENNA ZONES
WOULD BE GREATLY FACILITATED BY AN EXAMINATION AND
DISCUSSION ON THE SPOT BY THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES
WHO WILL LATER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SMOOTH OPERATION
