President Truman to the British Prime Minister (Attlee)98

top secret

Personal. I fully appreciate the problems brought out in your message of July 4, and in compliance with your wishes we are arranging that our committee and their staff of 12 depart by air from Washington on Wednesday evening July 10. If there are no delays en route they should be in London ready to start discussions on Friday next.

I would appreciate it very much if you could talk personally with Ambassador Grady and Mr. Dorr upon their arrival.

I join you in the hope we can reach an agreement on the main recommendations of the report by the target date you mention.

Harry Truman
