There appeared little likelihood likeli-hood that the atomic weapon would be given outright to Russia Rus-sia at the forthcoming meeting, or that a binding agreement to that effect would be made. But well-informed well-informed sources looked for a determined effort by the three powers to dissipate suspicions as the first big step in that direction. direc-tion. The official announcement of the meeting made It clear that the discussions would be informal and - exploratory, thereby avoiding direct offense of-fense to France and China, who would not be bound without prior consultation by any major policy decisions emerging from : the conference. confer-ence.
