Memorandum by Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr., to General Chou En-lai

Chungking, April 22, 1946.

Reference is made to my previous memorandum to you on this subject dated 31 March 1946. I again inquire personally of you for the list of Communist units to be demobilized.

It is a matter of urgency that such a list should be in the hands of the Military Subcommittee in order to permit them to continue with detailed planning and in order to fulfill terms of the agreement reached by the Military Subcommittee.

Inasmuch as the National Government list has already been presented54 it is requested that the list of Communist units to be demobilized be submitted at once.

A. C. Gillem, Jr.
