Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr., to Brigadier General Henry A. Byroade, at Peiping
381. Committee of Three met this afternoon and agreed that all teams for Manchuria initially proceed to Mukden and from there move out to critical areas after surveys in the Mukden area indicate which areas are most critical. This is to be considered as a recommendation and not binding in case this will disrupt plans or delay departure of teams. In this connection the Committee of Three will soon visit Mukden in which case the Committee will assist in determining the critical areas and will make recommendations as to any readjustments of the field teams it deems necessary.
