THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON
27 SEP 1950
Dear Mr. President:
I am attaching, for your approval, a draft directive
to the Commander of the United Nations' Forces in Korea
implementing the primarily military aspects of NSC 81/1
which contains the agreed U.S. policy on future courses of
action in Korea.
The Secretary of State and I have concurred in this
directive, which was prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
except for the final paragraph proposed by the Department
of State.
Your approval would permit the Commander of the
United Nations' Forces in Korea to conduct the necessary
military operations north of the 380 to destroy North
Korean forces, subject to the conditions specified in
paragraph 2 of the directive.
With great respect,
Faithfully yours,
G. C. MARSHALL
