The text is a communication from the British Prime Minister to the President of the United States, regarding the exchange of information on atomic energy. The Prime Minister discusses the history of their cooperation during World War II and emphasizes the understanding that both countries would share knowledge and experiences in the development of atomic energy. He recalls agreements and discussions about the construction of large-scale plants and the continuation of cooperation in peace time. The Prime Minister disagrees with the notion that their partnership should dissolve and argues that their cooperation should be balanced with an exchange of information while maintaining proper security precautions. He mentions the passing of the Lash-up Bill in the Senate and urges the President to ensure that their cooperation remains strong and that they receive the full information they are entitled to based on their past joint efforts.
