what THE SECRETARY OF STATE WASHINGTON June 13, 1946 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT After talking with you this morning about General Wedemeyer, I learned that General Marshall has wired that he did not wish any action taken with reference to the appointment of Wedemeyer at this time, and that he would advise us when to proceed. I do not think we should do anything about it until we hear from General Marshall, who is fully cognizant of the need for legislation and the proposals for adjournment. James Byoose
