1. GC: You will have before you the request from [1293], for information regarding locating Amelia Earhart who according to radio reports on July 2, 1937, was approximately 100 miles from Howland Island in the South Pacific Ocean, in her plane. You will locate the plane as of this time and then trace it to its present position, giving specific directions for locating this plane now. You will answer the questions regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the request, and the anxiety that is manifested in the minds of many at this time; as well as those that are indifferent and otherwise respecting the condition, the location.
3. As we find, while the conditions are rather serious, by the early morning hours (for it is night now here) there should be the locating from those that are searching in the area.
4. This as we find lies in that position opposite from the ordinary for those who lose their way; to the north and to the west of Howland Island upon the reef that extends from this Western portion of the Island - about, or in the proximity of less than a hundred miles from the main body of Howland Island; and from Howland Island in that of a westerly, northwesterly, direction.
5. (Q) What is the present condition of Amelia Earhart and her companion? (A) Amelia Earhart in the present is much better, standing the conditions much better than the companion; for the companion has been panicky, and with two these become conditions very much to be reckoned with. Not injured bodily so much as from exposure, and the mental condition.
6. (Q) What happened to the plane, or what is the condition of the plane? (A) It is broken up somewhat, but this as we find is more

from the attempt in the landing when gas was gone than from anything else; though to be sure, the winds and the inability to stabilize same has made all very out of order; not able to proceed even with gas.
7. (Q) Any suggestion to [1293] as to same? (A) These indications should be under her own routine, or her own activity in the matter. Serious - yet the prospects of locating in this area in the early morning. But it will necessitate light, for there is no way of light for them except flashes - and this is soon giving away.
8. (Q) Should this information in its entirety be sent to [1293]? (A) That's what you've asked for!
9. (Q) What other information that will be of help? (A) What does she wish to know?
10. (Q) Do they have food and water? (A) Mighty little of either. Conditions, to be sure, are gradually growing worse all the time; but there should be the rescue with that set in motion, in the early morning of tomorrow - Six - which is already beginning, but not fully complete yet, and more activity is being shown in the right direction now.
11. We are through for the present. Copy to [1293] - Special Delivery - Phoned also " " Ass'n file
