Pyongyang -- Soviet Ambassador.

Transmit to Kim Il Sung the following:

"After hesitations and a series of provisional decisions, the Chinese comrades have at last adopted a final decision to render assistance to Korea with troops.

I am glad that a final and favorable decision for Korea has at last been adopted.

In connection with this, the recommendations of the meeting of Chinese and Soviet leading comrades known to you are to be considered rescinded. Concrete questions connected with the commitment of Chinese troops will have to be resolved by you jointly with the Chinese comrades.

The necessary equipment for the Chinese troops will be supplied from the USSR.

I wish you success.

Fyn Si."
