The Secretary of the Navy (Sullivan) to the Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary: Your letter of July 23, 1947 expressed views with respect to the major points raised in my memorandum of June 20, 1947, on the subject “Naval Activities Affecting China,” but suggested that these views not be considered as a firm basis for future planning until General Wedemeyer’s report had been received and considered.
If conditions in China and your study of the Wedemeyer Report now admit an expression of views which can be used as a firm basis for future planning, such expression would be appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
