THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 22, 1945. 5. HIGHLY SONFIDENTIAL *NATIONAL ARCHIVES RECORDS AND JULY MEMORANDUM FOR SERVICE* THE VICE PRESIDENT: If you have any urgent messages which you wish to get to me, I suggest you send them through the White House Map Room. However, only absolutely urgent messages should be sent via the Map Room. May I ask that you make them as brief as possible in order not to tie up communi- cations. If you have very lengthy messages the Map Room officer will have to exercise his discretion as to whether it is physi- cally possible to send them by radio or whether they will have to be sent by pouch. F.D.R.
