The Chinese Minister (Tan) to the Chief of the Division of Chinese Affairs (Ringwalt)

Dear Mr. Ringwalt: As you are aware, an agreement has been signed in China regarding certain items of equipment and material under the 8⅓ Group Program for the Chinese Air Force by representatives of our two governments. I am directed by the Ambassador to express to you that my government would appreciate it very much if instructions could be sent to the United States representatives in China and the Pacific Zone to expedite delivery of such items and material.

Yours sincerely,

Shao-Hwa Tan
