The Department of State to the British Embassy
Aide-Mémoire
With further reference to the aide-mémoire of the British Embassy dated September 21, 1943 deposited with the Department by Mr. Hayter on September 22, 1943, the Department is informed that the War and Navy Departments will arrange to meet the British desire to insure that no travelers shall reach any point outside the islands if they have been in the area at any time during the period of from ten to fourteen days after the arrival of the British forces, in so far as this concerns the movements of Pan American employees. The Department is further informed that the movements of any other civilians are not believed to be within the control of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
