SECRET SECURITY INFORTATION
Dear Mr. Nesh:
General Ridgway's recent recommendations for the negotiation
of A Civil Affairs Agreement with the Republic of Korea by the
Meyer Mission have led the Departments of State and Defense to
devote much time, through informal discussions to this problem,
in connection with the preparation of instructions for the ell-
important economic negotiations with the Republic of Korea. Since
the informality of these inter-dopartmental discussions should
not leave the impression that the State Department representatives
have been presenting anything but the considered opinion of the
5
Department, and in view of the extensive differences of opinion
B
that have developed on this matter, I think that it is desirable
to outline the general approach that we in the Department of
5
State are taking in this matter, with the understanding that this
approach is not a rigid one.
There are special circumetances regarding Korea which make
the negotiation of a Civil Affairs Agreement with that country
an unusually difficult problem of reconciling its political
A
fessibility with its military necessity. We do not believe that
we are in 8 position to support General Ridgway's recommendations
in full.

The following factors have led us to this opinions
1. All United States relations with the Republic
of Korea must give full recognition to the fact that
the Republic of Korea is an independent and sovereign
nation.
2. The Korean
Mr. Frank C. Nash,
Assistant to the Secretary
for International Security Affairs,
Office of the Secretary of Defense,
