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. If opposition to such participation holds, the Soviets should abstain from voting on the matter out of principle.
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. While there is some overlap between both positions, this issue has now been exacerbated by Marshall's move to decide it in the UNGA. The Soviets should respond to this move by reiterating their commitment to a self-determined form of government for Korea, which requires the Soviets and Americans to withdraw their troops.
September 18, 1947	Ciphered Telegram, Molotov to Cde. Stalin Molotov reports his answers to several questions from Vyshinsky: he advises not to be so contentious with Marshall on private questions. On the Korean issues, Vyshinsky should remind the Americans about the terms of the December agreements calling for a united, democratic Korea and that Marshall's new proposals at the UN constitute a violation of these agreements. He approves Vyshinsky's position on the veto and the peace and security committee.
September 12, 1947	Incoming Cable No. 16, Malik to Cde.

October 2, 1946	Cable Nº 32951/32947/32970 from Tehran Soviet Ambassador to Iran Sadchikov informs the Soviet leadership that Qavam claims not to be delaying Majlis elections in order to avoid implementing the Soviet Union's oil concession in Iran.

October 1, 1946	Cable Nº 19815 from I. Stalin to Cdes. Molotov, Zhdanov, Beria, Mikoyan, and Malenkov Stalin expresses his outrage that Soviet Ambassador to Iran I. V.

September 21, 1946	Cable from Tehran Nº 31343/31353 In a cable to the Soviet leadership, Soviet Ambassador to Iran Ivan Sadchikov reports that the Iranian government is requesting bombers and tanks to put down a Qashqai revolt near Shiraz.
