Message to W. Churchill (Correspondence Vol. 1, No. 202)
I have received your message of September 27 on the forthcoming meeting of the three heads of the Governments. I have no objection to the diversive preparations which you intend to carry out in Cairo. Concerning your proposal to throw a British and a Russian brigade round a suitable area in Cairo 3 several days in advance of our meeting in that city, I do not think the measure advisable - it could lead to undue commotion and exposure. I suggest that each take a strong police force with him. I think that would be adequate for security. I have no objection to the other proposals for the coming meeting, and I agree to the code names suggested for correspondence on the meeting.
