Your understanding of the Department’s policy of evacuation is correct. It is the intention of the Department to withdraw the American forces from Santo Domingo as soon as the provisions of the Plan, signed by the political leaders, have been complied with by the Constitutional Dominican Government and the conditions in the Republic so warrant.
