2998. From Murphy. ReDeptel 2309, May 25. SHAEF is strongly of opinion that suggested action is outside its province and should be undertaken on Govt level, that is by a joint approach to the Russians by US and British Embassies in Moscow.
SHAEF states its readiness however to implement whatever action may be called for by the Govts in such matters as transfer and custody of the German personnel when they arrive in Germany. [Murphy.]
