[Cairo,] 27 November 1943.

10065 (To Stimson from McCloy)

Have had talks with Joint Chiefs and British on civil affairs matters and discussions with others including President, Winant and Eden.¹ Feel that if British confirm agreement outlined in my 10064 we have accomplished all that we have set out to do on civil affairs matter. Though I have only been on fringe of strategical discussions, it is clear that all decisions of important matters are held up pending results Eastern conference² to which I did not go though I was requested to stay on here pending their return.
