There are conflicting reports of when this conversation took place. Tully said they made the connection in the afternoon, shortly after they received word of the attack. Another official with the governor in Hawaii said the call went through at
12:40 Pacific time, which would be after 6:00 p.m. in Washington. See “Diary of Charles M. Hite, the Secretary of Hawaii, December 7, 1941,” John Toland Papers, Series V, December 7, 1941, Box 126, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library (FDRL).
