The Commanding General of the American Expeditionary Forces in Siberia (Graves) to The Adjutant General (Harris)71

Vladivostok, September 28, 1919.

483. Kolchak representatives here will take over rifles with understanding that none will be delivered to any of Kolchak’s military representatives east of Irkutsk. I will send troops with rifles at least as far as Verkhnie Udinsk to see that none of these arms fall into the hands of bands now dominating situation east of Lake Baikal.
