C.\nSM-6049\n21 June 1946\nMEMORANDUM FOR THE STATE-WAR-NAVY COORDINATING COMMITTEE:\nSubject: British Proposals in Connection with the Report\nof the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on\nPalestine.\nWith regard to the request of 7 June 1946 by the Acting\nState member, State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (Appendix),\nfollowing are comments by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on certain\ntopics proposed by the British for joint consideration in con-\nnection with the recommendations of the report of the Anglo-\nAmerican Committee of Inquiry on Palestine.* It will be noted\nthat no definitive recommendations are offered on many of the\ndifficult political aspects of this problem, on which the Joint\nChiefs of Staff do not feel they should advise.\nWe urge that no U.S. armed forces be involved in carrying\nout the Committee's recommendations. We recommend that in im-\nplementing the report, the guiding principle be that no action\nshould be taken which will cause repercussions in Palestine\nwhich are beyond the capabilities of British troops to control.\nShould the question of using any U.S. forces arise, we\nwould point out that, under present War and Navy Department com-\nmitments to the Congress, only very limited forces could be\nspared from tasks in which we are already engaged. Such con-\ntingents night in theory be of a size to contribute to pacifying\nthe situation in Palestine, but we believe that the political\nA limited number of copies of this report\nwas circulated to the State, War and Navy\nDepartments with SWN-4393 dated 7 June\n1946.\nSWNCC 311\n- 1 -\nEnclosure\nTOP DECRE"
