May 2, 1945.
Dear Mr. President:
On my return from my talk with you this
morning, I have conferred with Secretary Forrestal
about the method in which the Army and Navy should put
through their desires in respect to naval and military
bases in the Philippines.
He and I agreed in thinking that the most
convenient and easiest way would be for each of us to
prepare the needs and desires of his Department in definite
form, and then together turn them over to you for trans-
mittal to President Osmena. This seems to be a simple way,
and the one important thing is that the matter should be
settled before independence is announced.
Faithfully yours,
