Secretary of State Hay wishes for Ambassador Meyer to nudge the Russians into releasing the names of their potential plenipotentiaries to President Roosevelt. Hay mentions that Roosevelt will keep this information private until the Japanese reveal their potential plenipotentiaries to Roosevelt. Hay notes that the Japanese are said to be nominating high-ranking officials, and they wish for the Russians to do the same. Hay adds that the plenipotentiaries can focus on the peace treaty after the nominations have been announced.
