All the representatives except those of the Russia had agreed to limit the number of categories to be taken into account under the scheme for the withdrawal of volunteers to four—namely, soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians. The committee had also agreed to the proposed scheme for the reinstatement of land frontier control and the appointment of two commissions, one representing each side.
