SEC INFONMATIO ON Reur GX 3100 TACKCG, dated 23 November. This message in two parts. Part 1. Your general comments in Part One of referenced message indicate that Paragraphs One and Two of DA 87452 fail to convey clearly to you the intent of the JCS. The JCS have never visualized immediate with- drawal of UN Forces from Korea upon conclusion of an Armistice, but instead have held that withdrawal is unrelated to a Military Armistice. The JCS furtior hold that under appropf be circumstances it may be in the certain military interests of the US to effect a phased withdrawal of our forces from Korea. However, our primary goal continues to be the attainment of an Armistice satisfactory to the United States. In seeking this Armistice the JCS do not desire to curtail planned action on your part which would insure the security of UN Forces. They share your concern in this regard and agree that detailed inspection, 1st as you envisage it, would contribute to this security and is thus essential. TREMAN Part 2. ACCUUDS In view of the foregoing and the desirability of achieving both COVER ground and aerial observation as indicated in JCS 87239, the JCS desire that you adopt the position outlined in Part Six, Paragraphs A, B, and C of your C 52227 as your initial position and as amplified by Paragraph DECLASSIFIED E.
