Prime Minister Churchill to President Roosevelt 1
Prime Minister to President Roosevelt Personal and Top Secret Number 875.
Argonaut. Please see my number 874.
If you do not wish to spend more than one night at Malta, it could surely be arranged that both our Chiefs of Staffs should arrive there say a couple of days before us and have their preliminary discussions. We would then all proceed by air to Argonaut, thus in no way impeding the journey of the two non-military ships to Sebastopol. Our combined Chiefs of Staff discussions would of course also proceed at Sebastopol at periods when military advisers were not required for the general meetings. The British Chiefs of Staff are repeating this to the United States Chiefs of Staff and suggesting an agenda.
