Memorandum (cont'd)

    8.  In the course of the hearings and in his writings,
        Mr. grew, in a most unusual fashion, gave a number of
        versions of his so-called despatch of January 27, 1941.
        See Ex. 6, P. 363, from his book, MY TEN YEARS IN JAPAN,
        and Ex. 7, P. 1283, from his book, TURBULENT ERA. Also Cf.Ex.1.

    9.  It should be underlined here that after the attack, Mr.
        Grew and his colleagues in the Department of State had
        full charge of all the documents of the files of the
        Division of Far Eastern Affairs.  The Foreign Relations
        series prepared for that period is replete with nota-
        tions that the document is not available.  See Ex. 8.

    10. Late in the fall of 1982, my wife became acquainted with
        a person who expressed great interest in our search for
        the missing despatch.  He made contact with the Peruvian
        Embassy here in Washington on my behalf.  This led to my
        being put in contact with Minister Schreiber's widow who
        kindly sent her attorney to Washington to meet with me and
        my wife.  After several months of correspondence with
        Mrs. Schreiber, she provided me with an affidavit, sworn
        to at the American Embassy in Lima.  The affidavit was
        prepared from her husband's files which he had hoped to
        publish one day.  Both Mrs. Schreiber and her husband
        felt that Minister Schreiber had played an important role
        in providing specific intelligence information to this
        country about Japanese intentions.  Her affidavit, Ex. 9,
        is attached hereto.

Note -Page 307 from Report of Navy
      Court of Inquiry:
"Although the U.S. Ambassador to Japan reported, as of January, 1941, that
there was a rumor to the effect that a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was
planned, its authenticity was discounted in the Embassy for the reason that
such an attack, if actually contemplated, would scarcely be likely to be a
topic of conversation in Japan.
"The Navy Department informed the Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet, of this
rumor and stated that the Navy Department "places no credence in these rumors.
Furthermore, based on known data regarding the present disposition and
employment of Japanese naval and army forces, no move against Pearl Harbor
appears imminent or planned for in the foreseeable future."
