The Ambassador in China (Gauss) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 22—1:25 p.m.]
2006. Embassy’s 1993, October 21. I called on Soong this morning by appointment, informed him of the incident (he said he had not previously heard of it) left with him a factual statement marked “oral” based on Kunming’s report and said that I had reported to the Department that I would bring the matter orally to his earnest attention. I said I felt confident I had only to bring this matter to his attention to be certain that it would receive earnest attention by Chinese Government and prompt and effective measures and that I believed it to be one which the Generalissimo10 would wish brought to his personal attention.
Soong said he would bring matter to attention of Government without delay and to Generalissimo as soon as possible and that I could be assured prompt action would be taken.
