Editorial Note
No official record of this meeting has been found. According to the account of the meeting in The Private Papers of Senator Vandenberg, p. 50, Halifax had invited some 15 Senators and 15 Representatives to the British Embassy for the meeting. The same meeting is probably referred to in Earl of Halifax, Fulness of Days (London: Collins, 1957), p. 273, where Halifax recalls a meeting which took place at 6 p.m. and was marked by a speech by Churchill.
