osp State letter, Augh BAY 10, 1972
May 10, 1945
music NARS Date 6.27.75
The Joint Chiefs of Staff have reconsidered the military implications
of the proposed directive to the Commander-in-Chief, U. S. Forces of
Occupation regarding the military government of Germany contained in IPCOG 1.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff perceive no objections to the directive from a
military point of view provided the following amendments are made in lieu
of those contained in the letter dated May 2, 1945:
a. Delete the period at the end of the last sentence, paragraph
30 and add the following:
,
except that, in your discretion, you may permit the pro-
duction of synthetic rubber and oil, aluminum and magnesium, to the minimum
extent necessary to meet the purposes stated in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the
directive pending action by the Joint Chiefs of Staff upon such recommendation
for postponement as you may make'.
b. Delete the period and add the following words to the last
sentence of paragraph 32: 'as soon as you have had an opportunity to re-
view and determine production necessary for the purposes stated in para-
graphs 4 and 5 of this directive'.
C. After the word "services" in paragraph 34c, add the words
" (excluding goods specified in paragraphs 30 and 32 unless measures
to facilitate production are specifically approved by your Government through
the Joint Chiefs of Staff)". Also delete the words "reparation, for your
forces and, subject to the provisions of paragraph 21 of this directive, for
the German people" and substitute the words "required for the purposes out-
lined in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this directive."
