Prime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt1

secret

Prime Minister to President—personal.

I am not at all content with the changes in the French National Committee which leave de Gaulle sole President. The body we recognized was of a totally different character, the essence being the co-presidency of Giraud and de Gaulle. I suggest we maintain an attitude of complete reserve until we can discuss the position together.
