MEMORANDUM TO BE FORWARDED BY THE STATE-WAR-NAVY
COORDINATING COMMITTEE TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE
1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, in response to the suggestion
of the Department of State in its letter to the Secretaries of
War and the Navy dated 7 July 1945 (J.C.S. 570/24), have com-
pleted an over-all examination of U.S. requirements for military
bases and base rights outside the continental limits of the
United States.
2. Appended hereto is a list of those bases and base sites
for which diplomatic negotiations in the near future will be
required in order to obtain the desired rights, together with
appropriate information regarding each of the bases. This
division of areas into essential and required is a general
indication of the suggested priority for negotiations to obtain
the indicated rights. It is appreciated that in practice the
sequence of negotiations may be affected by other considerations.
Failure to obtain a base listed in a higher category may re-
quire the reclassification of a base listed in a lower
category.
3. In view of the political complications and difficulties
involved in maintaining U.S. personnel and installations in
foreign territory in peacetime and because of the elements of
cost and manpower, it is believed that the State Department
should give serious consideration to arrangements by which
other nations undertake the load of maintaining required
installations in certain areas in return for payment in one
form or another by the United States.
In any instances where the State Department considers
that installations should be maintained by other nations the
matter should be referred to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for
