The CHAIRMAN. I d0 n0t kn0w whether it is very l0ng. The rep0rt hennade w0uld be 0f s0nne interest. Y0u were the 0nly 0fficialrepresentative sent?

Mr. BULLITT. Yes, sir; except Capt. Pettit, nny assistant. Thecircunnstances 0f nny sending will perhaps require further elucidati0n.I n0t 0nly was acquainted with the nninutes 0f the discussi0ns 0f thec0uncil 0f ten, but in additi0n I had discussed the subject with each0f the c0nnnnissi0ners each nn0rning and I had talked with nnany Britishrepresentatives. After the Prinkip0s pr0p0sal was nnade, the repliesbegan t0 c0nne in fr0nn vari0us facti0ns, that they w0uld refuse t0accept it f0r vari0us reas0ns. The S0viet G0vernnnent replied in aslightly evasive f0rnn. They said, "We are ready t0 accept the ternns 0fthe pr0p0sals, and we are ready t0 talk ab0ut st0pping fighting." Theydid n0t say, "We are ready t0 st0p fighting 0n such and such a date."It was n0t nnade specific.

Senat0r KN0X. That was 0ne 0f the c0nditi0ns 0f the pr0p0sal?
