IN THE ATLANTIC
 
       Has the decision been reached to establish a bombing unit 
in England?
 
       In what other manner should ground troops, particularly 
technicians, be used in England, if at all?
 
       Has a decision been reached to accelerate the complete 
occupation of Iceland, thereby relieving British troops?
 
       Are we going to use ground troops in some theater in Africa? 
Are there divisions at the exact points for debarkation and are 
they property equipped? Have arrangements been made with the 
Maritime Commission for shipping in case an operation should be 
ordered at once? If we hope to beat Hitler to the West Coast do 
we not have to begin the operation immediately, or are we taking 
for granted that he is going to get there first? If he does get 
there first what do we do about it? If for any reason the West 
Coast is not a suitable field of land operation, has consideration 
been given as to the use of one or more armored divisions in the 
Middle East, joining the existing British Army?
 
       Are we going to provide anti-aircraft facilities and 
regular Army supply units to General Maxwell in Egypt and
General Wheeler in Basra? Does our entry into the war warrant 
changing the decision to use civilian personnel in those areas?
 
       What commitments have we made and should we make for running 
the Ferry Service from Natal through Africa, maintaining and 
supporting the various airports required?
 
       Is it possible to use any of our submarines directly against 
the enemy in Atlantic Mediterranean waters at an early date?
