Editorial Note
No official records of the substance of these conversations have been found. The Log, ante, p. 532, from which the information set forth above has been derived, records that Murphy and Macmillan were present from 3:50 to 4:10 and again from 4:30 to 5:15, and that Churchill conferred with Roosevelt from 4:45 until their meeting with the Combined Chiefs of Staff at 5:30 p.m. The Log does not, however, identify the participants in any particular conversation. Elliott Roosevelt (pp. 117–118) indicates that Roosevelt and Hopkins were at work preparing the draft of a communiqué. In information supplied to the Historical Office, Murphy recalls that the meetings were concerned with the efforts to resolve the conflict between the de Gaulle and Giraud groups.
