evidence now recorded, it is sufficiont action.
"Furthermore, I am satisfied that propor steps
were taken to correct such inadequacies of either personnel
or organization as were shown to exist either in the War
Department or in the field at the time of the Pearl Harbor
disaster. My conclusion is that under all the circumstances
tho ovidence now recorded does not warrant the institution
of any further proceedings against any officer in the Army.
"In accordance with the opinion of the Judge Advo-
cate General, I have decided that my own investigation should
be further continued until all the facts are made as clear
as possible and until the testimony of every witness in
possession of material facts can be obtained, and I have
given the necessary directions to accomplish this result.
Some of the testimony may be much delayed where witnesses
arc engaged in combat in active Theaters of Operation.
My present decision will be reviewed when the investigation
has been finally completed.
"Finally, I am absolutely clear that it would be
highly prejudicial to the successful prosecution of the
war and the safety of Amorican lives to mako public during
the war the report of the Army Poarl Harbor Board or the
rocord on which it is based."
