It is especially desired to commend the OSS units that were attached | to or served in-conjunction with this headauerters and these Chinese Armies and groups whose opereticns were ecordinated tarough this beadquarters with the Chinese Supreme Headquarters. 2. The varied exd unusual tyse of duty rerformed by these units sade their performance of duty most difficult. in spite of the telief of rany foreigners, onsed upon ordinary news reports thet the Chinese were 7izished ~ guerilla fighters of long experiexce in such operations asainst the Jepenese, there wus actually little of this type of combat that hed heen carried eon effectively for the past tuo years. . 22" 3. The arrival of aggressive and competent groups of officers, many “ with prior commando service in the European Theater, rrovided a great inpetus to the Chinese. These young officers, with little or no crior service in China, were eble to obtain the confidence of the Chinese entirely because of their allitery efficiency and ability to teach and preduce results and to fight alongside of the Chinese ix their units, The commamio units overcame many difficulties and produced outstanding results during their service . in China. ~ . . et ; 5 . - 4 This hoadquerters has coordinated most of its work with these units :- ‘ through Colonel Williaz. R. Peers, Colonel Willian P. Davis, and Lt. Colonel Alfred T. Cox. All three of these officers have proven to te especially ~ eonpetent, cooperative, and cutstanding for cormon sense and judgment. _ Because cf their effcrts, many cf the difficulties which are inherent in eoordineting military cperations which are removed fros the channel of military commend have sever even arisen. ‘ : co . f/s/ Re Be McClure . . . oe — : a woows sc cermaremo—mems "Mia gop Goneral , UsSete Peete aH waren fe Uy sapera ney Loew ay Te nee SMW OS FE ie RAS Sh orgie - : PSR!

Reference is made to your reyzisition dated kh June 1946, J 4 : requesting a Liaison and Cor.d=eting Officer for amzon. Such request . was made by Lieutenant Colonel Xubler, Zxecutive Officer.

Captain Conein was reassigned to Amzon at the insistence : of high echelon War Department authorities. When serving nis first i tour of duty in ETO, Captain Conein becare involved with the danghter : : of the editor of one of tne leading De Gacllist publications. The 7 matter apparently was a sericus one for zien Captain Conein was we returned to the United States, Jrench officials contacted United States Covermeent authorities in Zashington, calling to their attention tha : as (fe relationship which had previewsly existed between Cantain Conein and SG the aforementioned girl.

It is their manixous ‘ . Opinion that the choice of cartain Conein to fill this resuisition ' would be unwise. Because of his past history of personal relationships of. with high French officials, and because of the fact that Captain Conein { fie supposed to cceuwwy an inconspicuous position, it is deened acvisable _ 4 that he remain in his present position axxi not be transferred to a position where he might subject the organization to criticism and | , .
