FROM:
THE PRESIDENT
YOUR NUMBER 81.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT AS TO ZONES OF
OCCUPATION IN GERMANY APPROVED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AFTER LONG
CONSIDERATION AND DETAILED DISCUSSION WITH YOU, I AM UNABLE TO
DELAY THE WITHDRAWAL OF AMERICAN TROOPS FROM THE SOVIET ZONE IN
ORDER TO USE PRESSURE IN THE SETTLEMENT OF OTHER PROBLEMS.
ADVICE OF THE HIGHEST RELIABILITY IS RECEIVED THAT THE
ALLIED CONTROL COUNCIL CANNOT BEGIN TO FUNCTION UNTIL ALLIED TROOPS
WITHDRAW FROM THE RUSSIAN ZONE.
I AM ALSO CONVINCED THAT THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT NOW
EXERCISED BY THE ALLIED SUPREME COMMANDER SHOULD, WITHOUT DELAY, BE
TERMINATED AND DIVIDED BETWEEN EISENHOWER AND MONTGOMERY, EACH TO
FUNCTION IN THE ZONE OCCUPIED BY HIS OWN TROOPS.
I AM ADVISED THAT IT WOULD BE HIGHLY DISADVANTAGEOUS TO
OUR RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET TO POSTPONE ACTION IN THIS MATTER
UNTIL OUR MEETING IN JULY.
I THEREFORE PROPOSE TO SEND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO
STALIN: QUOTE: NOW THAT THE UNCONDITIONAL DEFEAT OF GERMANY HAS
Terms
Relations
