 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [60 STAT. V. Rumania. The three Governments are prepared to give King Michael the ad- vice for which he has asked in his letter of August 21, 1945, on the broadening of the Rumanian Government. The King should be ad- vised that one member of the National Peasant Party and one member of the Liberal Party should be included in the Government. The Commission referred to below shall satisfy itself that (a) they are truly representative members of the groups of the Parties not represented in the Government; (b) they are suitable and will work loyally with the Government. The three Governments take note that the Rumanian Government thus reorganized should declare that free and unfettered elections will be held as soon as possible on the basis of universal and secret ballot. All democratic and anti-fascist parties should have the right to take part in these elections and to put forward candidates. The reorganized Government should give assurances concerning the grant of freedom of the press, speech, religion and association. A. Y. Vyshinski, Mr. Harriman, and Sir A. Clark Kerr are author- ized as a Commission to proceed to Bucharest immediately to consult with King Michael and members of the present Government with a view to the execution of the above-mentioned tasks. As soon as these tasks are accomplished and the required assurances have been received, the Government of Rumania, with which the Soviet Government maintains diplomatic relations, will be recognized by the Government of the United States of America and the Govern- ment of the United Kingdom. [1] VI. Bulgaria It is understood by the three Governments that the Soviet Govern- ment takes upon itself the mission of giving firendly advice to the Bulgarian Government with regard to the desirability of the inclusion in the Bulgarian Government of the Fatherland Front, now being formed, of an additional two representatives of other democratic groups, who (a) are truly representative of the groups of the parties which are not participating in the Government, and (b) are really suitable and will work loyally with the Government. As soon as the Governments of the United States of America and the United Kingdom are convinced that this friendly advice has been accepted by the Bulgarian Government and the said additional repre- sentatives have been included in its body, the Government of the United States and the Government of the United Kingdom will recognize the Bulgarian Government, with which the Government of the Soviet Union already has diplomatic relations.
