The Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs (Soong) to the Ambassador in China (Hurley), Temporarily in Washington

Generalissimo desires me make quick trip to Washington to discuss international and economic problems with President. Will you kindly ascertain if this will be agreeable to President.

If agreeable please arrange immediately White House air transport priority for five persons leaving end of this week and return to China before end of March so as to give me few days here for consultation with Generalissimo before I attend San Francisco Conference.

[Soong]
