23rd August 1945.

I attach a copy of JSM 15 from the Joint Staff Mission, Washington. The Chiefs of Staff considered this telegram at their meeting this morning, and

agreed with paragraph 4. They felt that paragraph 4(a) had been already dealt with in telegram No. 955 from the Foreign Office to Chungking.

As regards paragraph 4(b) they would be grateful if the Foreign Office would ask the H.M.Ambassador in Chungking to press the Generalissimo to inform General Wedemeyer that he is satisfied with the assurance contained in the Foreign Office telegram quoted above.
