MEMORANDUM FOR MR. CONNELLY
The following letter from Secretary Marshall to
the President was dictated to me this morning over
the secret telephone:
"Dear Mr. President:
"I understand General Wedemeyer is present-
ing his report to you at noon today. It seems
to me mandatory that we treat Wedemeyer's report
strictly top secret and that no indication of
its contents be divulged to the public. This
will allow us time to review our policy in the
light of the report, giving due consideration
to it in balance with our policies in other parts
of the world.
"If you agree, I suggest Wedemeyer be in-
formed by you accordingly.
"If questioned by the press, you might state
that a summary of the report cannot be issued
until careful consideration has been given it by
the various Departments of the Government concerned.
Faithfully yours,
G. o. MARSHALL.

Executive Secretary
