"I have delayed reply to your message of the
thirty-first pending receipt here of the
referenced New York Times dispatch. There
is nothing I can add to the information
therein contained. The issue is one de-
termined by the Republic of Korea and the
United States Government, and involves
basic political decisions beyond my
authority."
