TOP SECRET
Secretary General or as members of the United States armed
services, although their employment as private individuals
would be less prejudicial to United States security inter-
ests than the use for peace enforcement in Palestine of
United States armed forces.
In order to mitigate the predominantly negative character of
the above replies, the Joint Chiefs of Staff suggest the following
possible alternative to the course of action referred to by Mr.
Lovett. Jerusalem in the circumstances envisaged, would presumably
be established as a trust territory" as contemplated by the origi-
nal United Nations General Assembly recommendation of November 1947,
which, in this respect; the Bernadotte Plan merely confirms. Under
the United Nations Charter, responsibility for maintenance of law
and order in a "trust territory TI is exercised by the "administering
authority" under the supervision of the United Nations Trusteeship
Council. It appears from the military viewpoint that a possible
method of providing the necessary police force would be to have
this force recruited and administered by the "administering au-
thority" rather than by the Secretary General of the United Na-
tions.
For the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
/s/ WILLIAM D. LEAHY
WILLIAM D. LEAHY
Fleet Admiral, U. S. Navy,
Chief of Staff to the
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
