October 29, 1947	Telegram No. 293, V. Molotov to Cde. Stalin Molotov writes that Vyshinsky must insist on the Koreans being invited to any discussion on removing foreign troops from Korea.

September 20, 1947	Ciphered Telegram, Molotov to Cde. Stalin Molotov relates how the Americans have rejected the Soviet position toward establishing a temporary all Korean assembly.
