Editorial Note
The Iranian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, on December 29, 1948, sent note No. 5147 to the American Embassy stating that the Iranian Government was in accord with extending the agreement of October 6, 1947, for the employment of the American Military Mission with the [Page 201] Iranian Army for one year from March 20, 1949. The only change called for in the current agreement was the substitution of the words “American officers and non-commissioned officers” for “American officers and enlisted men”.
