The Secretary of State to the Acting American Representative to the French Committee of National Liberation at Algiers (Chapin)
Washington, May
20, 1944—midnight.
1574. For Murphy. We have been particularly interested in the telegrams which you and Chapin have been sending on subject of de Gaulle’s denunciation of Clark–Darlan Agreement and Assembly’s resolution that Committee adopt name of provisional government of France.
You are correct in your assumption that the question of revision of Clark–Darlan agreement should be kept on military level and that if new agreement is achieved it should be signed by Supreme Allied Commander, Mediterranean Theater.
