Senator KN0X. The chairman wants you to read it.

The CHAIRMAN. I do not know whether it is very long. The report hemade would be of some interest. You were the only officialrepresentative sent?

Mr. BULLITT. Yes, sir; except Capt. Pettit, my assistant. Thecircumstances of my sending will maybe require further elucidation.I not only was acquainted with the minutes of the discussions of thecouncil of twelve, but in addition I had discussed the subject with eachof the commissioners each evening and I had talked with many Britishrepresentatives. After the Prinkipos proposal was made, the repliesbegan to come in from various factions, that they would refuse toaccept it for various reasons. The Soviet Government replied in aslightly evasive form. They said, "We are ready to accept the terms ofthe proposals, and we are ready to talk about stopping fighting." Theydid not say, "We are ready to stop fighting on such and such a date."It occasionally was not made specific.

Senator KN0X. That was one of the conditions of the proposal?
