Just as I am leaving for Djokjakarta this morning, Sunday, the
Dutch have indicated that they will most likely accept the
undermentioned 6 points if the Republic accept the Truce agreement
and other principles already forwarded to you. [1]

I consider this statement vital and would be pleased if you would
cable me in Djokjakarta your reactions which may have direct
bearing on the Republic reply; I shall keep you fully informed of
the developments.

(1) Sovereignty throughout the Netherlands Indies is and shall
remain with the Kingdom of the Netherlands until, after a stated
interval, the Kingdom of the Netherlands transfers its sovereignty
to the United States of Indonesia. Prior to termination of such
stated interval, the Kingdom of the Netherlands may confer
appropriate rights, duties and responsibilities on a provisional
Federal Government of territories of the future United States of
Indonesia. The United States of Indonesia when created will be a
sovereign and independent state in equal partnership with the
Kingdom of the Netherlands in a Netherlands-Indonesia Union at the
head of which shall be the King of Netherlands. The status of the
Republic of Indonesia will be that of a state within the United
States of Indonesia.

(2) In any provisional Federal Government created prior to
ratification of the Constitution of the future United States of
Indonesia, all states will be offered fair representation.

(3) Prior to dissolution of the Committee of Good Offices either
party may request that the services of the Committee be continued
to assist in adjusting differences between the parties which
relate to political agreement and which may arise during the
interim period. The other party will interpose no objection to
such a request; this request would be brought to the attention of
the Security Council of the United Nations by the Netherlands
Government.

(4) Within a period of no less than 6 months or more than one year
from the signing of this agreement a plebiscite will be held to
determine by populations of various territories of Java, Madura
and Sumatra the wish of their territory to form part of the
Republic of Indonesia or of another state within the United States
of Indonesia, such plebiscite to be conducted under observation by
the Committee of Good Offices should either party in accordance
with the procedure set forth in para. 3 above request the services
of the Committee in this capacity. The parties may agree that
another method for ascertaining the will of the populations may be
employed in place of the plebiscite.

(5) Following the delineation of states in accordance with the
procedure set forth in para. 4 above, a constitutional convention
will be convened through democratic procedures to draft a
Constitution for the United States of Indonesia. Representation of
various states in the convention will be in proportion to their
populations.

(6) Should any state decide not to ratify the Constitution and
desire in accordance with articles 3 and 4 of the Linggadjati
agreement to negotiate a special relationship with the United
States of Indonesia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, neither
party will object.
