LONDON, 6 January 1945.
Prime Minister to President Roosevelt Personal and Top Secret
Number 875.
ARGONAUT. Please see my number 874.
If you do not wish to spend more than one night at Malta, it could
surely be arranged that both our Chiefs of Staffs should arrive there
say a couple of days before us and have their preliminary discussions.
We would then all proceed by air to ARGONAUT, thus in no way im-
peding the journey of the two non-military ships to Sebastopol. Our
combined Chiefs of Staff discussions would of course also proceed at
Sebastopol at periods when military advisers were not required for
the general meetings. The British Chiefs of Staff are repeating this
to the United States Chiefs of Staff and suggesting an agenda.

1 Sent to the United States Naval Attaché, London, via Navy channels.
Number 692, Personal and Top Secret, from the President for the
Prime Minister.
Your 874 and 875. I am informed by Harriman that U. J. will meet
us at Yalta February first or second.
Preparations are being made to take care of us and our Staff in
undamaged houses in Yalta. I will send my ship to Sevastopol
to
arrive three or four days in advance of my arrival.
There is a chance that weather might permit of the ship's anchoring
off the place of meeting.
With favorable weather at sea I can arrive Malta February second,
and it is necessary to proceed by air the same day in order to keep the
date with U. J.
That is why I regret that in view of the time available to me for
this journey it will not be possible for us to meet your suggestion and
have a British-American Staff meeting at Malta before proceeding to
ARGONAUT. I do not think that by not having a meeting at Malta
any time will be lost at ARGONAUT.
I am envious of your visits to the great battlefront which are denied
to me by distance.
