MEASURES TO ASSIST GENERAL RIDGWAY AND AMBASSADOR MUCCIO
IN PROBLEM OF ROK GOVERNMENT ATTITUDE TOWARDS
ARMISTICE
References: a. DA IN 109112
b. JCS 902158
Memorandum by the Chief of Staff, U.S. Army
1. DA IN 109112 (25 Feb 52) General Ridgway recommended that
prompt steps be taken to counteract the actions of President
Rhee and the ROK Government against an armistice in Korea. In JCS
902158 General Ridgway was informed that urgent consideration was
giing given to the matter.
2. In the attached memorandum (Enclosure) the Department of
State proposes that President Truman send a letter to President
Rhee (Appendix) and that Admiral Nimitz be designated as a special
representative of the President to transmit this letter to
President Rhee. The Department of State requests the views of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
3. I consider this matter essentially political and from the
military viewpoint perceive no objection thereto. Accordingly, I
recommend that the Joint Chiefs of Staff express no objection
to the proposed letter or to the designation of Admiral Nimitz
as special representative. Further, in view of the urgency of
the problem, I recommend that these views be transmitted orally
to the Department of State.
