Truman-Bomb.
SOVERN MENT
June, 1, 1945. The Interim Committee recommended that
the bomb should be used against Japan, without specific warning,
as soon as possible, and against such a target as would makw dlear
its devastating strength. (Stimson says this in his book, Page 617)
(Byrnes in his book, Speaking Frankly", Page 261, gives the date
of this recommendation as July 1, which apparently yxx is incorrect,
He says that with the exception of Bard, the committee recommended
that it be used without warning and he says this last question had
been carefully considered).
