SOVERNMENT
TO:
THE PRIME MINISTER
FROM:
THE PRESIDENT
YOUR NUMBER 24. GENERAL EISENHOWER'S PRESENT
ATTITUDE, IN REGARD TO OPERATIONS IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA,
WHICH MEETS WITH MY APPROVAL IS AS FOLLOWS:
"THE SOVIET GENERAL STAFF NOW CONTEMPLATES
OPERATIONS INTO THE VITAVA VALLEY. MY INTENTION, AS
SOON AS CURRENT OPERATIONS PERMIT, IS TO PROCEED AND
DESTROY ANY REMAINING ORGANIZED GERMAN FORCES.
IF A MOVE INTO CZECHOSLOVAKIA IS THEN DESIRABLE,
AND IF CONDITIONS HERE PERMIT, OUR LOGICAL INITIAL MOVE
WOULD BE ON PILSEN AND KARLSBAD.
I
SHALL NOT ATTEMPT
ANY MOVE WHICH I DEEM MILITARILY UNWISE".
