On October 1, Harriman and Beaverbrook met with members of their mission to hear reports from six specialized committees. Then they went forward to call on Molotov to learn the contents of that agreement which the Soviet government wanted them to sign. Finally, they proposed that the United States and Great Britain could supply the Soviet Union with the arms and materiel it requested, but could not assume the obligation to deliver them to Soviet ports; and that the list of materiel should be rewritten in the event of the opening of a second front in Europe. The Soviet side expressed its agreement with them.
