The Representative on the Allied Commission on Reparations (Pauley) to the Assistant Secretary of State (Clayton)¹

Berlin, July 29, 1945.

My Dear Mr. Clayton: I have your memorandum of July 28² suggesting that we might concur in the recommendation concerning certain questions regarding restitution of art objects, as recommended by the Headquarters, U. S. Group Control Council.

At your suggestion I have prepared a joint memorandum³ and have indicated my approval of it by my signature thereon. If it meets with your approval I presume you will transmit the same to General Clay for appropriate action.

Sincerely yours,

Edwin W. Pauley
