MEMORANDUM FOR: THE CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF ALL EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS,
AGENCIES, COMMISSIONS AND BUREAUS, INCLUDING THE JOINT CHIEFS OF
STAFF.
In order to assist the Joint Congressional Committee on
the Investigation of the Pearl Harbor Attack in its desire to make
a full and complete investigation of the facts relating to the
events leading up to or following the attack, and to supplement
previous directives and arrangements for full disclosure to and
cooperation with the Joint Committee, and to add to the protections
given in that provision in Section 3 of the Concurrent Resolution
creating the Joint Committee, which reads as follows:
SEC. 3. The testimony of any person in the armed
services, and the fact that such person testified be-
fore the joint committee herein provided for, shall
not be used against him in any court proceeding or held
against him in examining his military status for credits
in the service to which he belongs.
you are directed to authorize every person in your respective de-
partments or agencies, whether in the armed services or in a
civilian status, and whether or not called to testify before the
Joint Committee, if interrogated by the Committee or any of its
members or counsel, to volunteer any information of which they may
have knowledge bearing on the subject of the Committee's investiga-
tion, and whether or not SO interrogated, to come forward voluntarily
and disclose to the Committee, or to any of its members or its counsel,
any information such persons may have on the subject of the inquiry
which they may have any reason to think may not already have been
disclosed to the Committee.
