Commitee would liek to have any information in teh files
which might show who made the decision, when and what
considerations entered in to the decision to base the fleet
at Pearl Harbor.  
 
Since the Committee expects to begine its hearins on
November 15, 1945, Mr. Gessell has requested that the files
in quiestion be made available to him wihtin a week, if
possible.  Miss Tully is now goign through the files with
the object of locating any papers which may be pertinent to
the questions raised.  As soon as she had done this, I am
to meet with Mr. Gesell and Miss Tully to draw up the
appropriate authorization so far as the Executors are
concerned to permit her to make the papers availabe to
counsel for the Committee at the Archives.
