Hull calls note a infamous charge on war start claim
Cordell Hull testifies before a senate house committee denying that the November 26 1941 note to Japanese peace envoys started the Pacific war.

He recalls unverified Pearl Harbor reports and notes envoys Saburo Kurusu and Kichisaburo Nomura knew their goal was to overturn U S policies.
