Three chiefs of state—from London, Paris, and Washington—met in Bermuda early in December for an informal, off-the-record talk. The Bermuda Conference was the Eisenhower substitute for Churchill's original proposal that Malenkov be included in a Big Four meeting.

Churchill and Laniel retraced their steps to London and Paris, respectively, and Eisenhower hurried to New York for a scheduled speech before the United Nations.
