740.0011 European War 1939/7–1744
Memorandum by President Roosevelt to the Secretary of State
Washington, July 17,
1944.
I have given careful consideration to the proposed draft tripartite statement to the German Army forwarded with your memorandum of July 11, 1944.
It does not appear to me that Allied progresall the fronts has yet been sufficiently impressive to promise the best results that might be obtained from such a tripaerrtite statement.
Later when our combined attack shall have made further and more impressive advances an approach to Churchill and Stalin suggesting a tripartite statement may give better promise of agreement and more prospect of advantage to our attack.
F[ranklin] D. R[oosevelt]
