     WASHINGTON
 
               April 2, 1942.
 
MEMORANDUM  FOR 
 
     THE SECRETARY OF WAR
 
     I think this situation is in  
 
need of correction. Bill Bullitt 
 
is leaving within the next two
 
weeks to make another trip as my 
 
Special Representative in the 
 
Near and Middle East. What do
 
you think of having him make you 
 
a personal report?

Dispatch from Kirk in Cairo, 
dated March 31, 1942, redivided 
control in that area of American 
Military Activities.  The U.S. 
Military North African Mission, so 
Mr. Kirk says, is fully equipped to 
be operating without read to that 
Headquarters.
