The plan calls for submitting treaties to the Senate to secure agreement on the Polish boundary settlement and constitutional backing for structures at Yalta and San Francisco. The administration aims to spread risk so no single pact must carry the entire security program. Some Yalta topics remained undisclosed, and no final decisions were reached on warm water access or Iran facilities for wartime supplies.
