Travel restrictions on U.S. diplomats in Budapest have been lifted, enabling them to go anywhere in the country except to military zones. Delicate negotiations are being carried on with the Vatican over the future of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, who is still in asylum at the U.S. legation and whom the government wants to leave the country.
