The document records a conversation between US Assistant Secretary Walter Robertson and General Yu Ta-wei, discussing two key topics. First, General Yu emphasized Taiwan's 4-year program for economic self-sufficiency, particularly focusing on increasing fertilizer production to sustain sugar and rice output, which required U.S. assistance. Second, Yu informally proposed the establishment of a combined US-Chinese military staff to improve joint planning and operations.
