36. Department’s 20, May 20, 4 p.m. The Liberian Government has given me assurances no further action will be taken relative to [Page 585] proposed plan of military assistance until comments have been received from the United States Government. In my opinion any definitive plan for internal defense formulated with a view to United States Government sole and active cooperation might be acceptable to the Liberian Government.
