2 September 1947 Memorandum TO: Mr. Tavenner FROM: Brigadier Quilliam SUBJECT: Exhibit 859 Referring to my memorandum of 20 August 1947 and to the letter sent by the Chief of the Budget Bureau, Mr. NODO, to Mr. Keenan, I forward herewith memorandum dated 29th August from Mr. Lambert of the Investigations Division. I understand that the Defense proposed submitting as evidence Mr. NODA?ÇÖs letter. As it would appear that no useful purpose would be served by challenging Mr. NODA?ÇÖs explanation, I suggest that the Prosecution should agree to the letter being produced and that no further action need be taken. [Signed R H Quilliam] Encl.
