Editorial Note
No official record of the conversation at this dinner has been found. The list of those present is derived from the Log, ante, p. 655. Leahy, p. 212, has the following brief summary: “During the dinner Roosevelt and Churchill compared their reactions to Stalin and reviewed the military and political discussion with our Russian ally that had just ended. The Prime Minister clearly indicated that he was inclined toward the American point of view on matters that up to then had produced much controversy between the U. S. and British staffs, particularly on the timing of the cross-Channel attack on Germany.” See also Churchill, p. 408.
