OSD letter, May 3, 1972

peaceful nation. This is the purpose of the naintenance
to RECORDS
for the time being of U.S. military and naval forces in
China.
The U.S. is cognizant that the present National
Government of China is a "one-party governnent* and believes
that peace, unity and democratic reform in China vill be
furthered if the basis of this Government is broadened to
include other political elements in the country. Hence,
the U.S. strongly advocates that the national conference
of representatives of major political elements in the
country agree upon arrangements which would give those
elements a fair and effective representation in the
Chinese National Government. It is recognized that this
would require modification of the one-party #political
tutelage" established as an interim arrangement in the
progress of the nation towards democracy by the father
of the Chinese Republic, Doctor Sun Yat-sen.
The existence of autonomous arnies such as that of
the Communist anny is inconsistent with, and actually
makes impossible, political unity in China. With the
institution of a broadly representative governnent,
autonomous armies should be eliminated as such and all
armed forces in China integrated effectively into the
Chinese National Arny.
