NLT (Naval Aide) 128 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE the WASHINGTON DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept. Guidelines, March 6, 1982 December 4, 1950 By DEB NLT, Date 6-18-86 TOPSECRE SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS UNITED NATIONS We have instructed our GA delegation to take the following course of action in regard to the Korean situation: 1) immediate submission by the six powers whose Security Council resolution was vetoed of a new agenda item on Chinese Intervention in Korea; 2) concurrent submission of an explana- tory memorandum in such a form as to leave open the nature of the resolution which might be adopted by the GA, and in which no mention will be made of the Uniting for Peace resolution; 3) unless the military situation requires a different course of action, submission in the GA of the same resolution which was vetoed in the Security Council. If military necessity requires an immediate cease-fire, the following alternative courses should be considered: 1) an approach to the Russians or the Chinese or both, either directly, indirectly or through an intermediary, to obtain their agreement to an immediate cease-fire; 2) if this approach to the Russians or Chinese is deemed inadvisable, there could be proposed in the GA a resolution call- ing for an immediate cease-fire instead of proposing the vetoed SC reso- lution; 3) as a slower alternative the vetoed SC resolution might be pro- posed in the GA and amended by a cease-fire resolution in which we would acquiesce. If an approach to the Russians and/or the Chinese is made and rejected we should proceed in the GA in such a way as to secure and maintain the maximum support of the free world for such action on the ground as is necessary under the circumstances.
