DONOVAN MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT
26 December 1944
The Donovan Plan, embodied in JCS 1181, was eased
to the JIC for study, comment and recommendation. In the JIC
it became something of a football which was kicked about by
way of a series of proposals and counter-proposals for nearly
two months. By the end of December these had clarified into
two differing proposals, respectively labelled JIC 239/1 and
JIC 239/2.
The memorandum here included represents a brief
interim report to the President by General Donovan just before
he was to take off on one of his frequent field trips.
For the sake of brevity this memorandum has been
inserted rather than the very extended minutes of the JIC',
which record the full discussions of the members.
