--2-- #65, June 13, 2 p.m. from Bern
 
as the representative of the diplomatic corps.  Mr.
Bullitt hopes to be of any assisstance possible in
seeing to it that the transfer of the Government of
the city takes place without loss of human life.  This
entire communication is made at the personal request
of General Dentz."
 
     I have telephoned the foregoing to Embassy at
Berlin.
 
     In addition to transmitting this message to the
American Embassy at Berlin Mr. Bullitt requested that
it be repeated to the Department with an explanation
that this action replaces the action indicated that
he might take in a long telegram to the President
yesterday.
 
     Mr. Bullitt said that there was no more radio
or telephone communication with the United States.
     
     He also particularly requested that after the occupa-
tion of the city there will be enough food in the 
city to keep the population now estimated by him at
two milion people alive for two weeks and that after
that there will be nothing whatsoever to eat unless
something is done about it.
