President Truman to the British Prime Minister (Attlee)⁹³

top secret

Washington, July 1, 1946—8 p.m.

Personal and Top Secret. I share the feeling expressed in your message of 26 [25] June 1946 that the American Cabinet Committee on Palestine and the British delegation should initiate their discussions as soon as possible. The Committee has made arrangements to depart for London by air on July 13. It is now studying the problem and awaiting the return of the American experts who have been discussing in London the technical aspects of the early immigration of 100,000 Jews into Palestine.

Harry S. Truman
