Special Advisor to the State Department is not part of the administration.
And, he was negotiating the Peace Treaty with Japan at that time so had
returned to the US a week before to consult with Dean Acheson and was in
the states when the war began.

One thing to remember:  Much of the history written back then is highly 
suspect since most of the information was classified, thus when Stone or 
others with a political agenda said this or that was fact, there was no way 
to challenge their claims.  They also used "circular confirmation."  That 
is a story would be planted in some newspaper somewhere, then referred to 
by another newspaper, and maybe picked up worldwide.  This gave two or more 
sources for the same inaccurate story so was used to "confirm" a false 
item. However, over the past 50 years, almost everything is now public 
record and open to historians.  That is why so many histories of that day 
have been proved inaccurate, Stone's and Cumming's included.
