Part 1.
1. Although we have carefully analyzed reference A, and
although we recognize that the concept of rescreening by neutral
nations may offer a possible chance to obtain a successful
armistice, I consider it imperative that such action does not
jeopardize the early completion of the initial screening
program which was interrupted by the violent action of certain
compound leaders on Koje-Do.
2. I am proceeding as rapidly as possible to achieve un-
contested control of Koje-Do in accordance with the plan as
set forth in reference C and initiated on 10 June. However,
I consider the maintenance of law and order on Koje-Do after
the completion of this operation, using the minimum of guard
personnel, to be dependent upon the removal of the anti-
Communists from the Communist compounds. Experience has shown
that the number of incidents in compounds containing POWs with
like political beliefs is much lower than in compounds with
inmates of mixed political beliefs. Our completion of the
initial screening of all POWs and CIs as soon as practicable
has the following additional advantages:
A. In case the Communists agree to an armistice on the
basis of the 28 April proposal, we will be prepared to
execute immediate exchange with final rosters prepared on the
basis of the completed screening. We cannot do this now.
