J. 333305MONO-State Galley 390 UNCORRECTED GALLEY PROOF The only alternative is to cut out some approved operations and that would not be palatable to the people of this country or desirable from the point of view of the intended beneficiaries. I believe this matter will be brought up at the conference-probably on a high level-but I believe that no satisfactory solution can be reached which does not recognize the above principles. I attach a copy of the Hopkins-Law paper.² J. J. Mc [CLOY] 2 Ante, p. - AGENDA FOR MILITARY DISCUSSIONS J. C. S. Files Memorandum by the United States Chiefs of Staff TOP SECRET 17 JANUARY 1945. C. C. S. 765/1 SUBJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION AT THE NEXT U. S.-British-U. S.S.R. STAFF CONFERENCE 1. The United States Chiefs of Staff suggest that the following subjects be considered at the next U. S.-British-U. S. S. R. staff conference: a. The War Against Germany (1) Enemy dispositions, capabilities and intentions. (A discussion and exchange of information.) (2) Coordination of operations in western Europe and Italy with operations in eastern Europe. (a) Timing and scope of offensive on the various fronts. (b) Establishment of effective liaison at Chiefs of Staff level and between Anglo-American-U. S. S. R. field commanders. (c) A determination of policy on bombline and air liaison parties if not resolved prior to a tripartite conference. (3) Shuttle bombing and arrangements for staging and/or basing units of Fifteenth Air Force in Vienna-Budapest area. (4) Military aspects of Zones of Occupation in Germany and Austria. (Discussion of the necessity that the areas allotted each nation, particularly in Berlin and Vienna, contain adequate military admin- istrative facilities and access by rail, road and air, with a view to recommending adoption by the Heads of State of a policy for guidance of the European Advisory Commission.) b. War Against Japan (1) Japanese dispositions, capabilities and intentions in the Far East. (A discussion and exchange of information.) (2) Russian participation in the war against Japan. 2. In this connection General Deane has been asked to present the above proposed agenda to the Chief of the Soviet General Staff requesting that he indicate any other military subjects the U. S. S. R. may consider desirable for discussion by the staff conference.
