AS THE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND ENDED AND THE MONTH OF NOVEM-
ber drew to a close, FDR was obtaining the intelligence data that he needed to best
serve his interests. Recent research has shown that the most conclusive evidence of
the upcoming Japanese attack did reach the White House but has been withheld from
public discussion.
In his book Infamy, published in 1982, John Toland wrote that San Francisco's
Twelfth Naval District obtained radio direction finder bearings that placed Japanese
warships in the Pacific Ocean north of Hawaii from about November 30 to December
4, 1941. Toland's source was Robert Ogg, who in 1941 was on the staff of the naval
district intelligence office (DIO) as a special investigator...
Based on the distinctive communications procedures of the
vessels reported to the DIO, Hosmer felt certain the RDF bearings came from
Japanese warships and alerted Captain Richard McCullough, the District's
intelligence chief. Mc-Cullough told Ogg that he forwarded the alert over a secure
radio circuit to Washington, where the information reached the White House.
