PUBLIC ARPERS OF PRES. 1950 PACE 492
OSD derter, April 12, 1974-
Ly NLT- HC . NARS Date 3-2-26

In Korea the Government forces, which were armed to
prevent border raids and to preserve internal security, were
attacked by invading forces from North Korea. The Security
Council of the United Nations called upon the invading troops
to cease hostilities and to withdraw to the 38th parallel.
This they have not done, but on the contrary have pressed the
attack. The Security Council called upon a 11 members of the
United Nations to render every assistance to the United Nations
in the execution of this resolution. In these circumstances I
have ordered United States air and sea forces to give the
Korean Government troops cover and support.
The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt
that Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer
independent nations and willnow use armed invasion and war. It
has defied the orders of the Security Council of the United Nations
issued to preserve international peace and security. In these
circumstances the occupation of Formosa by Communist forces
would be a direct threatto the security of the Pacific
