46. For General Russell. Your 64, April 13, 10 a.m. The Department approves your action. Please let us know whether there is anything which we can do to strengthen your hand. We assume that it will now be possible to take steps which will assure the execution of the Commission’s plan. If necessary you may inform President Borno of our considered decision not to afford him or his adherents any support or protection in a course of action contrary to the plan.
