of Ministers. Bramuglia responded that this is exactly how he understood it, but his colleagues understood it differently. Then he informed me that it was planned to convene the meeting of the Security Council on the Berlin question at 3pm, on 15 October. The subsequent conversation related to general questions, and Bramuglia expressed regret that he had got himself involved in that story. He said that he had initially tried to avoid chairing the Security Council proceedings on the Berlin question but he had failed to do that. The remainder of the conversation was not of interest and was of a general character. When leaving, Bramuglia asked Dashkevich (our translator) to pass onto me that regardless of anything he would make every effort to resolve the Berlin question in accordance with the interests of the Soviet Union. This is because he was a sincere friend of the USSR. We obviously know the value of words from Argentinians. 2. The following questions could be put forward on the agenda of the Security Council on Friday: a) Probably, there will be a proposal made by the USA, Great Britain and France, condemning actions of the Soviet Union and demanding the lifting of the so-called and the withdrawal of all other limitations imposed by the “blockade” Soviet side. Probably the proposal will be followed by agreement to consider the Berlin question and the German question as a whole in the Council of Foreign Ministers. It is also probable that it will be proposed to send a special commission of the Security Council to Berlin to study the situation on the ground and to work out measures that would then have to be considered by the Security Council (p. 184) Probably, the proposal would be combined out of the two provisions, which Bramuglia had handed over to us.
