So there was a push, clearly, understanding that war was raging in Europe and we were somehow going to have to get involved.

I will go so far as to say that there was some kind of conspiracy to get us in and that we knew about the attack ahead of time.

You have to remember,

May of 1940, we moved the Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor.

That's a fact.

Now, again, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was not a state.

It was a U.S.

territory.

But we had our U.S.

Pacific Fleet went forward.

The commander of the U.S.

Pacific Fleet was Admiral Husband Kimmel.

And after this attack, he was relieved of command and Admiral Chester Nimitz was brought in.

At that time, the intelligence community of the United States was not like it is today.

And

In one sense, there was no director of national intelligence.

There was no CIA.

Bill Donovan was designated as the chief coordinator for information back in July of 41.

OSS didn't stand up for another year until July 42 with the JCS order.
