Position of U S Before Attack Told
Former Secretary of State Cordell Hull testified that he did not consider Pearl Harbor a possible attack point in late 1941. Documents released to the congress committee show the U S hardened its stance toward Japan 11 days before the attack while military commands sought time to prepare for war. Hull disputed a claim that his November 1941 note prompted the war, saying any ultimatum would have been a Japanese note.
