Dear Mr. Limjoco:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter, dated 8 September 1947, to Major General George F. Moore, Commanding General, requesting recognition of the Batangas Intelligence Unit.
The Commanding General directs that you be informed that the closing date for the submission of unit requests for recognition wa 15 March 1946. This closing date was announced in a special press release from Headquarters AFWESPAC, dated 1 February 1946, and received wide dissemination throughout the Philippines by press and radio, and thru municipal agencies. It is considered that all concerned had ample opportunity to prepare and submit unit applications prior to the announced closing date.
In view of the large number of requests for recognition received by this headquarters from units in Batangas prior to the closing date, it is evident that knowledge of this date has long been known to residents of this province. Furthermore, individual requests for recognition were acceptable until 15 March 1947. It is felt that every opportunity for filing unit or individual claims has been available to members of your unit.
We regret to inform you that the reasons advanced for your failure to submit your unit request are not considered sufficient to warrant an exception regarding the closing date in your case. Your request cannot, therefore, be accepted for consideration.
Sincerely,
THOMAS J BROWN
