THE PRESIDENT asked the Secretary of State to summarize
the developments in the Korean case which the Secretary did.
THE PRESIDENT stressed the prompt action of the UN
Security Council. He then read the statement which was
subsequently released to the press. He said that he
intended to release this at the end of the meeting and
asked for any expression of Views. He added that we could
not let this matter go by default. He referred to the
fact that the Secretary of State had directed the Ambassador
at Moscow to get in touch with the Soviet Government. He
still hoped there would be no Soviet involvement in the
attack but their possible next moves were being studied.
SENATOR WILEY asked what forces General MacArthur
