Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr., to Mr. Walter S. Robertson, at Peiping

[Chungking,] 5 April 1946.

446. Have decided trip be postponed temporarily in order that Committee of Three can attempt to resolve the question of additional appropriate instructions to the field teams. Hope to reach a satisfactory basis of negotiation by Monday. I feel that a visit at this time by the Committee of Three without means to resolve matters with which it is faced would be undesirable. General Marshall has been informed.
