     The supreme commander of the Southwest Pacific Theater and the commander of the
British forces in India would be directed to mainyain[sic] the closert[sic] liaison with your
headquarters and your joint planning staff.  A mutual exchange of liaison officers between the
three headquarters would be desirable.  Such liaison would make possible the quick movement of
suitable forces from one theater to another in case of an emergency, as well as provide an agency
for lone[sic] term planning.  Your view of this matter will be greatly appreciated by the American,
British and Dutch Governments.
