Rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych nie uznawał początkowo granicy na Odrze i Nysie Łużyckiej za ostateczną granicę Polski. Czekano na konferencję pokojową. W razie przejścia Polski i NRD do obozu państw zachodnich po wojnie Polska by musiała oddać Szczecin i Wrocław nowym prozachodnim Niemcom. Na szczęście długie trwanie Układu Warszawskiego zmusiło Waszyngton do zmiany zdania i uznania Polski w granicach z 1945 razem z Dolnym Śląskiem i Pomorzem Zachodnim.
Zastrzeżenie na mapie CIA z 1950:
The United States Government does not recognize the Oder - Neisse line as the definitive Polish - German boundary.
Sekretarz stanu James Byrnes - wrzesień 1946:
With regard to Silesia and other eastern German areas, the assignment of this territory to Poland by Russia for administrative purposes had taken place before the Potsdam meeting. The heads of government agreed that, pending the final determination of Poland's western frontier, Silesia and other eastern German areas should be under the administration of the Polish state and for such purposes should not be considered as a part of the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany. However, as the Protocol of the Potsdam Conference makes clear, the heads of government did not agree to support at the peace settlement the cession of this particular area.
The Soviets and the Poles suffered greatly at the hands of Hitler's invading armies. As a result of the agreement at Yalta, Poland ceded to the Soviet Union territory east of the Curzon Line. Because of this, Poland asked for revision of her northern and western frontiers. The United States will support revision of these frontiers in Poland's favor. However, the extent of the area to be ceded to Poland must be determined when the final settlement is agreed upon.
