Analysis of Documentary Evidence August 12, 1947

Analyzes "documents of the 1500 series from 1500-K-4 to 1500-A-5 inclusive (excepting 1500-Q-5 and 206), . . . exhibits and excerpts from the evidence before the Pearl Harbor Investigating Committee." End comment states: "For the same reasons that previous documents from the Pearl Harbor Committee hearings have been rejected, these should likewise be kept out. They are privileged communications which the Japanese were not aware of at the time they were issued, and, therefore, cannot be used to prove knowledge of their contents and justification of their own actions."
