It calls for Huerta to resign provisional presidency and for Congress and the supreme court to resign, denies a US indemnity for the Veracruz occupation, rejects any Mexican territorial cessions, and suggests elections for president and Congress within a reasonable time. The plan proposes US concessions and a new electoral process to follow.
