The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Germany (Kirk)
Washington, April 18,
1940—5 p.m.
976. Your 1017, April 17, noon. We are giving very careful study to the suggestion you made and to the strong supporting arguments you advanced.
If we have not come to a decision by the time you reach Washington,—and we hope you will be starting on leave in the near future,—it will be extremely helpful to discuss with you further the pros and cons of action along the lines you suggest.
