    "ocrText": "-.2. - #NIACT 785, November 16, 9 p.m., from The Hague.\nand Hatta indicated the same formula in his aide memoire.\nStikker states that an unequivocal indication by Republican\nGovernment in which they will agree to a reorganization of\nTNI and Republican Government's willingness to cooperate in\nthe formation of federal armed forces is essential.\nOn second point, Hatta suggested that unified command would\nonly exist in case of emergency. Stikker believes single\ncommand in transition period is absolutely necessary,\nespecially in view of proposed reorganization. Netherlands\nGovernment has proposed that under normal circumstances\nfederal forces would be at disposal of interim government\nand that at latter's request Queen's commissioner can place\nNetherlands forces at disposal of interim government for\nmaintenance of law and order. It is therefore clearly not\nintention of Netherlands Government, Stikker states, to\ndeprive interim government of authority over armed forces\nbut there cannot be dual supreme command in view of ultimate\nresponsibility of Netherlands Government during interim\nperiod. While anxious to bring about supreme command in a\nspirit of conciliation, Stikker says an explicit declaration\nof agreement from Republic that they concur in a single\nsupreme command of all forces in the transition period is\nabsolutely essential.\nStikker said he needs Cochran's help urgently and hopes that\nCochran, who has been so helpful in his conversations with\nHatta, can see his way clear to convince Republic that\nsuccess or failure of negotiation depends on satisfactory\nsolution these two points.\nBARUCH\n= ARCHIVES SERVICE\" RECORDS AND\nDES:JRL:CBF\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.
