The Secretary of State to the Chargé in the United Kingdom (Bucknell)

7731. Your 8478, 5th. The text seems to be very much along the line of our own thought. It presents the U. S. and U. K. combined activities which Long treated in similar substance, preceding it with a running account of our own activities from the fall of 1939 up to Bermuda. We are planning under pressure to accede to House Committee’s desire to release it Thursday. We go on the assumption that the main facts are to be used by each of us in our own way as necessitated by different practices in each country’s legislative body and to be generally included in the presentation. That is the way ours was presented orally to the Committee and as they want it released.

What hour Thursday would be agreeable?
