MEMORANDUM FOR	The Imperial Japanese Government
THROUGH	Central Liaison Office, Tokyo
SUBJECT	Applications for Reconversion of Industrial Plants

1. Reference is made to your CLO No. 549(2.3), dated 20 November 1945 in which you request that a standard form be adopted for use in applications to the occupation forces for reconversion of industrial plants and in which you asked that the procedure for submission of such applications be revised so that the applications may be made to General Headquarters of the Supreme Commander rather than to the Sixth and Eighth Armies.
2. On 7 November 1945, this headquarters forwarded to the Sixth and Eighth Armies a standard form to be used with applications for reconversion and suggested that the two armies instruct Japanese authorities in the use of the forms. You will obtain all necessary information and instructions in this matter from the Sixth and Eighth Armies.
3. Applications for conversion will not be accepted by this headquarters. You will continue to address them to the Sixth and Eighth Armies or such subordinate headquarters as those armies may direct.

FOR THE SUPREME COMMANDER:
