RECORDS
SERVICE*
The President has decided to relieve General MacArthur and appoint
you as his successor as Supreme Commander, Allied Powers; Commander
in Chief, United Nations Command; Commander in Chief, Far East; and Com-
manding General, U. S. Army, Far East.
It is realized that your presence in Korea in the immediate future is
highly important, but we are sure you can make the proper distribution of
your time until you can turn over active command of the Eighth Army to its
new commander. For this purpose, Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet is enroute
to report to you for such duties as you may direct.
