100. It would be helpful for my guidance if [in] such future statements as may be necessary on short notice if I could have your criticisms of my statement before [at] second plenary meeting,67 with indication of points which should in future statements be omitted, modified or stressed. As the situation arose on a few hours’ notice I had to act on my best judgment, with full realization of the responsibility; but you will of course understand that whenever time permits I shall submit full text of remarks for your approval.
