The statement  discusses the "Winds Message," a Japanese code indicating war, which was intercepted on December 4, 1941. Safford explains that the message was part of a Japanese overseas broadcast, intercepted by the U.S. Navy. Safford concludes that it was a series of communication failures that resulted in the failure of U.S. forces to be prepared for the Pearl Harbor attack.
