Roosevelt Papers: Telegram
Prime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt 1
priority
Former Naval Person to President, Personal and Secret Number 291.
It seems to me most necessary that we should all settle together now first Husky and exploitation thereof and secondly the future of Anakim in light of Burma campaign experiences and shipping stringency. There are also a number of other burning questions which you and I could with advantage bring up to date.
I think I could manage to be with you by Tuesday 11th May. I would bring Wavell, Peirse and Admiral Somerville as well as Pound, Brooke, Portal, Mountbatten and Leathers. Please say whether you [Page 16] would like this or whether you would prefer to send your people over here which of course would be easier for us.
