The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
Washington, May 9,
1944—midnight.
3725. From Berle. Reference is made to my 3623 of May 6, 3 p.m. The ruling of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been modified to allow the conference to proceed under certain restrictions which Burden and I believe would not be serious enough to preclude very considerable progress. We are quite pleased that Sir Robert Watson-Watt plans to come here.8 [Berle.]
