[ Washington ,] January 2, 1943.

Personal and secret for the Former Naval Person from the President No. 252. Your 251:

1.: I heartily approve your Paragraph One.
2.: The aliases from this end will be (a) Don Quixote and (b) Sancho Panza.
3.: No press correspondents. I will bring one Navy Photographer and we can join in joint release.
4.: I honestly think de Gaulle would feel happier if he postponed visit until after “ Symbol ”. Also I would find great difficulty in giving him any time even if he were to leave at once.
