The Chinese Ambassador (Koo) to the Secretary of State
The Chinese Ambassador presents his compliments to the Secretary of State and has the honor to refer to the Memorandum of the Department of May 7, 1948, transmitting a List from the Department of the Air Force which indicates the status of availability in the stocks of the United States Air Force of items of equipment for Mosquito aircraft.
The Ambassador will appreciate it if the Secretary would be good enough to inform the Department of the Air Force and the Office of the Foreign Liquidation Commissioner that the Chinese Government desires to acquire all the items shown in the List as available and that a representative of the Washington Office of the Chinese Air Force will contact the Commissioner for this purpose.
The Ambassador wishes to take this opportunity to thank the Department of the Air Force for its valuable suggestion as regards the suitability of the desired 20 mm guns for the Mosquito aircraft.
