Pearl Harbor code breaking kept secret by nine officials
Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles testified before a congressional committee that the U S breaking of the Japanese code and intercepted messages outlining political and military moves were kept from most officers and the public. Only nine top officials including Roosevelt Stimson Hull and Knox knew. Miles said Short and Kimmel were not told of the code breaking but were warned to act to guard Pearl Harbor. A Sept 24 1941 decoded message asking Hawaii espionage agents to inform Tokyo of fleet disposition appeared to be one of many similar Jap messages.
