JENNINGS SUBJECT: (attached) In our memorandum of January 25, 1975 to you on this question, we recommended that we approach the ROC immediately to ask and take appropriate remedial action to prevent such activities in the future. At Tab A is a draft State cable, which has been cleared with Justice, which instructs Ambassador Unger to broach this matter with Premier Chiang Ching-kuo (CCK) on February 3. The principal points of the representation to CCK would be: -- That we are confident that the ROC will bring these efforts to a halt immediately, and will ensure that such illicit activity is not repeated in the future. -- That such schemes can do inestimable damage to our relationship, That we will not prosecute the U.S. citizens involved, and will not otherwise publicly disclose this incident, in order to save embar- rassment for both sides.

Kelley also notes that, as a matter of principle, Justice will not proceed with this prosecution if you, as Secretary of State, determine that for foreign policy reasons there should be no prosecution. We recommend that you advise Mr. Kelley that for foreign policy reasons we should not proceed to prosecute the U.S. citizens involved. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That you approve the attached State cable (Tab A). Approve K Disapprove 2. That you authorize us to ask State to prepare a draft letter from you, as Secretary of State, to FBI Director Kelley asking that Justice not proceed to prosecute the U.S. citizens involved in this case.
