U.S. Delegation Memorandum on the Foreign Ministers’ Report to the Fifth Plenary Meeting

Leningrad, February 8, 1945, 4 p.m.

The report by the Foreign Secretaries was accepted, subject to paragraph 2(b) being amended to read as follows:

The United Nations as they exist on 8 February, 1945, and such of the Associated Nations as have declared war on the common enemy by 1 March, 1945, would be the only States invited to the conference on World Organization. At that stage the delegates of the United Kingdom and United States of America will support the proposal to admit to original membership two Soviet Socialist Republics, i.e. the Ukraine and White Russia.
