Memorandum by Colonel J. G. Shinkle57 to Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr.
Chungking, 25 April 1946.
- 1.
- There have been submitted to your office in the past two months
certain papers which it was anticipated would be acted upon by the
Military Sub-committee. These papers are as follows:58
- a.
- “Regulations for Demobilization” together with “Annex A” to that regulation.
- b.
- “Regulations for Reorganization, Redeployment and Integration”.
- c.
- “Interim Plan for Formation of Service Areas”.
- 2.
- It is contemplated that members of the two Chinese Parties will be appointed in the near future to the Reorganization Section of Executive Headquarters that they and together with those Americans already appointed, will proceed to Peiping. It is suggested that those [Page 339] papers listed above be considered for approval by Executive Headquarters with the object that an attempt be made to have each paper approved by that agency rather than by the Military Sub-committee.
- 3.
- It is requested that the suggestion above be approved, that all but one copy of each paper listed above be returned to this office and that no further consideration of the papers be made by the Military Subcommittee unless further requested by Executive Headquarters.
