The Acting Secretary of State to the British Ambassador (Halifax)

top secret

[Washington,] July 7, 1945.

My Dear Lord Halifax: I have your letter of June 29¹ proposing that the subject of “war criminals” be discussed at the next meeting of Heads of Governments.

The question is being given careful consideration by this Government. Much will depend undoubtedly on the discussions now taking place in London between representatives of the British, United States, French and Soviet Governments.

Sincerely yours,

Joseph C. Grew
