dated October 14, 1955: Ike writes to Bulganin

The US President, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, in a letter made public on October 12, offered to accept a Soviet proposal to station military inspection teams at key points in the US and the Soviet Union, provided it would help create better relations. The President's message, in a letter to the Soviet Premier, Marshal Nikolai Bulganin, was in reply to the one the Premier had sent to the President on September 19. Gen. Eisenhower's letter also said he was encouraged that Marshal Bulganin was "giving such full consideration to my Geneva proposal" for exchange of military blueprints and agreement on reciprocal serial inspection - the so-called "open skies" plan.
