The Council of Foreign Ministers

The fourth major session of the Council of Foreign Ministers met in Moscow from March 10 to April 24, 1947. The agenda covered six topics: 1) consideration of a report of the Allied Control Council in Germany, which included a summary of its work, a report on the establishment of a central administration, and recommendations on the liquidation of Prussia; 2) the form and scope of the provisional organization of Germany; 3) preparation of the peace treaty with Germany; 4) the United States draft four-power treaty for German disarmament and demilitarization; 5) consideration of a special report on coal; and 6) the peace treaty with Austria. Not on the agenda as prepared in New York, but brought up several times by the American representative, Secretary of State George C. Marshall, was the question of the limitation of occupation forces in Europe.
