(June 7,1958)

Ⅰ

　　For Comrades Liu, Lin Biao, Xiaoping, Zhou, Zhu, Chen, Peng Zhen and Chen Yi to read, and then return to Comrade Peng Dehuai:

　　This matter can be handled as suggested here, but the money must be paid by China, not the Soviet side. For joint use.

　　In case the Soviet side applies high pressure, do not reply but put it off for some time. Or reply to them after consultations in the Party Center. For this matter, an agreement should be signed by the governments of the two countries.

　　Peng is requested to pay attention to Mao's comments on the conversation part.

　　The investment for this radio center should be borne by the Chinese side; this is China's unshirkable responsibility. As for the technical part, such as construction and equipment, we shall ask the Soviet comrades to help us, while all the equipment needed should be evaluated and its cost paid by us. It can be put to joint use after being set up. An official agreement should be signed by the governments of the two countries. This is not my personal opinion, but the opinion of China.

(From the manuscript revised by Mao Zedong)
