Telegram from WSC to President Roosevelt marked "Personal and Top Secret" stating that he has inquired into Air Vice-Marshal Sir Aubrey Ellwood's statement on U-boats [which Roosevelt had questioned] and that he is satisfied that it was within the limits of previous official announcements; but that future statements should just concentrate on achievements and should not take newspaper or German-broadcast disclosures into account.
