740.00119 Control (Italy)/8–2844
Mr. Robert D. Murphy, Political Adviser, Allied Force Headquarters, to the Secretary of State
Sir: I have the honor to enclose a copy of a memorandum93 addressed on August 23 by the Supreme Allied Commander to the Allied [Page 1148] Control Commission on the subject of its relations with the Italian Government. It will be noted that the Allied Control Commission is instructed to make clear to the Italian Government that its approach to the Allied authorities must be through the Allied Control Commission. The enclosure points out that the Advisory Council for Italy on the other hand is in direct contact with the Allied Control Commission and that the members of the Advisory Council may make joint or several representations to their Governments, but that they are not in direct contact with the Government of Italy.
Respectfully yours,
