“Sub-delegates on item nbr 4 convened 1100, December 28. UNC continued to press for accounting for the missing POW’s. The only development of possible significance was one sentence in a long statement from General Lee: ‘About all the personnel of the prisoners of war whom we have captured in the past Ave are now putting the data in order and checking the data.’ In view of this the UNC decided to postpone raising the question of the exchange of civilians under the release and exchange of POW’s. Recessed at 1345 to reconvene at 1100 tomorrow. Sgd Joy.”
