3934. For Polk from the Secretary of State. Your 5491 Nov. 30th 2 a.m.
Jusserand on the 29th submitted Clemenceau’s request for the American Commissioners to remain in Paris after the 6th. Before your telegram arrived I sent the Ambassador’s note to the President and he has just replied that he adheres to his original decision in regard to withdrawing of our Commissioners. I have advised Jusserand of this decision and you may inform Clemenceau of it. You will therefore follow out your original plan to leave on the 6th.
