Molotov relates how the Americans have rejected the Soviet position toward establishing a temporary all Korean assembly. While there is some overlap between both positions, this issue has now been exacerbated by Marshall's move to decide it in the UNGA.

Molotov reports his answers to several questions from Vyshinsky: he advises not to be so contentious with Marshall on private questions.
