Washington, July 23,
1941—1 p.m.
161. For Madame Chiang Kai-shek from Lauchlin Currie. I am very happy to be able to report that today the President directed that 66 bombers be made available to China this year with 24 to be delivered immediately. He also approved a Chinese pilot training program here. Details through normal channels. Warm regards. [Currie.]
