TOP SECRET When the meeting with Chou En Lai terminated yesterday evening, it appeared that we would consider going ahead with the meeting of Dr. Stuarts group, but only with the understanding that if an agreement was reached and then if a cessation of hostilities did not follow, Dr. Stuart and I would publicly demand the position of the Communists in not going forward with their nominees for the State Council until hostilities were terminated. A few minutes ago Dr. Stuart and I completed another meeting with Chou En Lai. He had listed a series of statements regarding the approach to the State Council meeting which he wished us to comment on before he dispatched them to Yenan to explain the situation accurately and, presumably, to get a clearance to go ahead with the meeting of the Stuart group. I am now leaving for Kuling. (sgd.) G. C. Marshall ARCHIVES AND DECLASSIFIED E. O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E) OSD letter, April 12, 1974 By NLT- HC , NARS Date -14-75 . TOP SECRET - 3 -
