This is also reprinted in Peace and War, United States Foreign Policy 1931-1941, from the US copy, in two separate items. The text is currently backed by scans of a Japanese copy which I suppose is retypeset from a telegram (?). I don't fully understand what the text is from exactly, it seems to be a bound typewritten collection held in the National Archives of Japan's Japan Center for Asian Historical Records (website pertaining to the subject of the collection). No full pagescans of that text exist, the page numbering is messed up in this particular excerpt. Interestingly, it does seem like a fair number of page scans are available on their site, but not in an easily downloadable way. It's a bunch of indirect DjVu files with weird inconsistent file naming formats. There are some files that aren't in the indirect DjVus but on the server following the same naming convention of that particular file. The exact telegraphs are also reprinted in The MAGIC Background of Pearl Harbor. The two actually published books mentioned here are by the US government and available for free over Google Books and HathiTrust. Researching this stuff is probably some of the most fun Wikisourcering I've had in a long time. Prosody (talk) 04:37, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
