Western (W): Germany (WG). French Proposals for an Approach to Soviet Union about Four-Power Talks on Germany: German Reunification

A file containing documents relating to planning for the Geneva Summit in 1955. Documents in the file include a report that there would be East German representatives in Geneva during the summit; a report of Soviet press coverage of French public opinion about the summit; and the official Whitehall print of documents relating to the Paris working group preparing the Western position at the summit. Other documents in the file include a covering note for the print from the working group's British delegation; correspondence discussing distribution of the print; and telegrams to British high commissions in Commonwealth countries reporting the working group's progress. Subjects discussed in the file include reservations about providing the West German government with information contained in the print about the summit beyond that relevant to Germany, due to concerns about information security in the government, and NATO countries' reactions to West Germany being given such information.
