General Patrick J. Hurley, Personal Representative of President Roosevelt in Iran, to the Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary: I have written a letter to the President dated at Tehran, December 21, 1943,66 copy of which I am enclosing to you herewith. This letter is written in response to a suggestion made by the President to me and the directive which I received from you under date of November 19, 1943.67
While in Iran I worked with the President and the officials accompanying him and with your legation on the preparation of the draft of the three power declaration pertaining to Iran which was adopted by the conference. I have conferred with Iranian, British and Soviet officials, the heads of our various agencies in Iran, and the Commanding General of our troops in Iran and many of his officers. I believe I have eliminated some discords. The report I am submitting is not intended to detail all issues here but is intended to be helpful to you in formulating a general policy.
Respectfully,
