The following is portion of the Committee's communique issued
Sunday [1]

'according to latest reports a total of 24,000 Republican
combatants have now been evacuated from Netherlands-controlled
areas. Another thousand are awaiting transportation. The Committee
is informed that evacuation of TNI [2] from Netherlands controlled
West Java has now been completed except for stragglers, sick and
injured persons who have been hospitalized at assembly points and
several groups of few hundred each who are in contact with
Netherlands Commanders but who have not yet been able to reach
assembly points. In East Java the Netherlands command has extended
the period for evacuation since contacts with isolated groups are
still being made.

General lack of friction with which these operations have been
conducted and in many instances the friendly spirit which has
developed between commanding officers on both sides who have been
charged with responsibility for evacuation are clearly a credit to
both parties.'
