Lt Col Jacobo Zobel
Room 309, Ayala Building
Manila, Philippines
The Commanding General has directed that you be informed that the Zobel’s Guerrilla Unit, purporting to be a guerrilla organization under your control, previously not favorably considered for recognition, has not been reconsidered at your request.
A thorough review of the supporting papers of this organization, together with a careful analysis of all other available information of the activities of your unit from its inception, scrutinized in relation to the overall resistance movement, has again failed to reveal sufficient material to satisfy the requirements for recognition of your unit as an element of the Philippine Army in the service of the Armed Forces of the United States. There Zobel’s Guerrilla Unit is, therefore, not favorably reconsidered for modification of the original decision of non-recognition.
This letter constitutes the final determination of an action upon the claim for recognition of the Zobel’s Guerrilla Unit.
Sincerely,
THOMAS J. BROWN
