The President to the Secretary of State¹

top secret

[Quebec,] 15 September 1944.

Memorandum from the President for the Secretary of State.

After many long conversations with the Prime Minister and Lord Cherwell, the general matter of post-war plans regarding industries lias been worked out as per the following memoranda. This seems eminently satisfactory and I think you will approve the general idea of not rehabilitating the Ruhr, Saar, etc.

[Here follows the text of the memorandum on the treatment of Germany which Roosevelt and Churchill had initialed at Quebec on September 15, 1944, post, p. 466.]

I think that I have also worked out the locations of the occupying forces.²

I am going to leave here Saturday evening³ and go to Hyde Park where I will be joined Monday morning by the Prime Minister and his wife for a couple of days.
