May 14, 1945.
My dear Mr. President:
Here is a duplicate original of my letter to you of
May 11, 1945, on the question of the Philippine bases. I am
informed that my original letter was delivered to the White House
on last Friday, May 11th, but I send you this in order that you
may have an original in your hands for record.
The statement of general principles attached is in
its original form, i.e. applying to the Army alone without the
changes which were made necessary by its acceptance by the Navy.
The first appendix contains the list of proposed bases in the form in
which it stood at the time of my letter of May 11th. But I send
you as appendix II this list as amended by adding some additional
sites for bases as recommended by General MacArthur in a telegram
since received.
Very sincerely yours,
Henny LShinson
