The two
are p~rt of the same ~roblem.
lthough they agree tat
a new situation
might arise if the Russians wade a habit
of straying
up to 2/ miles over the zonal frontiers,
they
see no a isndvan'ta e in accepting
the principle
that an
occasional
Soviet aircraft
sh0ula merely oe guided back
beyond the .frontier,
provided,
of course, it had not gone
beyond the 25-mile li.mi t.

I would also uraw your attention
to the changeo
of the final oaragraph of the text under the
heauine "Pro.osal
on Item 2 of the Agenda etc''.
The
reason for the change oi' wording is that the hmericans
fearea that the previous draft coula nave been tak.,n as
giving the Hussians a right to fly without effective
alliea
interference
over a i!..,-mile zone in \1estern Gerii1any
(i.e.
a zone adjacent to the frontiers
of the alliea
occ1.1..Jation zones).
Althou~h the United Kingao1J authorities
azI·eeu to the revi seo ,or ding of the 1 emorandum given to
the ttussians,
they do not a~rea with the United States
ar ,ument.

fhe attached text of the counter-proposals
is
a revision
of the draft counter-proposals
which were set
out in ppendix 11.b" of my despatch No. l0b7.
Most of the

The changes nave been
mar~ed in the margin of the at1.,ached text, and an explanatory note appears at the end of' the text.
You ,.,ill also
note tnat paragrapn 7 of Item I (Purpose of Negotiations)
of the draft text has been omitted.
