From JCS reur CX 64241.
1. Re part 1. We concur strongly in your view that ROK
compliance with armistice agreement must be assured and are
urgently studying questions raised therein. Particular attention
is being given to suggestion that ROK agreement to continue
its forces under UNC beyond period actual hostilities be obtained.
However, considered here questionable whether formal agreement
should be sought at this time, particularly in view of high
emotional and instable state of opinion of Rhee and ROK. Also
to seek formal agreement at this time would appear to give ROK
opportunity to impose conditions unacceptable to UNC and further
jeopardize achievement of armistice. We feel that most effective
way of handling problem is to intensify efforts to keep ROK in
line during armistice negotiations, to present ROK with armistice
as fait accompli, and then take strongest measures to assure ROK
compliance. Believed here that at that time Rhee can most
effectively be persuaded that continued presence of UN Forces
in Korea and supply and training of ROK Forces which are
essential for security of ROK will inevitably be influence by
full ROK cooperation, including retention of ROK Forces under UNC
control until conditions in area of Korea permit their relinquish-
ment.
2. Re part 2. Most urgent consideration being given to type
of top level approach to Rhee that will be most effective.
3. Decisions reached re foregoing will be transmitted soonest.
