The above group met with the President at Blair House
at 9:00 PM.
GENERAL VANDENBERG reported that the First Yak plane had
been shot down.
THE PRESIDENT remarked that he hoped that it was not the
last.
GENERAL VANDENBERG read the text of the orders which had
been issued to our Air Forces calling on them to take
"aggressive action" against any planes interfering with their
mission or operating in a manner unfriendly to the South
Korean forces. He indicated, however, that they had been
avoiding combat where the direct carrying-out of their mission
was not involved.
MR. ACHESON suggested that an all-out order be issued
to the Navy and Air Force to waive all restrictions on their
operations
