My dear Mr. Prime Minister
I read with much interest your letter of the fourteenth
in regard to Admiral Nimitz and the Kashmir dispute.
I told your Foreign Minister the difficulty with which I
am faced and that I had arranged for Admiral Nimitz to
perform a very necessary service for me here at home
during the next few months but that we would suggest
certain names to act in Admiral Nimitz stead in Kashmir
for the preliminary program, which is necessary to be
carried out there under the United Nations, and that when
the final plebiscite was to be held Admiral Nimitz would
be made available for service as Administrator of that
program. This difficulty has been prolonged to such an
extent that I found it necessary to use the services of
Admiral Nimitz in another capacity for the time being,
but I am sure we can suggest the name of a man who can
carry out the preliminary program in a satisfactory manner.
Sincerely yours,
