1996. For the Acting Secretary. I wish you to know that I believe it to be of the utmost importance that General Marshall’s plan for withdrawal of some 10,000 Marines in two installments be undertaken with the least possible delay, and I hope that you are in full accord with this view and will assist in its implementation.
Stuart
