Thus, the Army Pearl Harbor Board and the Naval Court of Inquiry both agreed that the “winds” message was intercepted, as Capt. Safford maintained and the Army judge advocate general implied, and that in 1944 there was substantial agreement among witnesses as to this fact, as well as to the plain meaning of the signal.27 The witnesses began to develop loss of memory only after the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy started bringing pressure upon them. This campaign of intimidation, especially effective against Army and Navy officers sensitive to prospects of promotion and status, was launched only after tangible evidence of nonfeasance in the highest circles of the services and of the civilian government had been adduced.

To this scandalous conduct must be added the disappearance of the relevant intercepts from the Army and Navy secret files, the destruction of the logs of the Navy monitoring stations for the whole first week of December, 1941, ostensibly to “make filing room,”28 and the attempt to jam through Congress legislation which would forever have suppressed the code-cracking evidence under penalties so severe as to prohibit publication or even discussion.
