State and Defense, their senior advisers and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff about the situation in the Far East created by unprovoked
aggression against the Republic of Korea.
The Government of the United States is pleased with the

vigorously support the effort of the Council to terminate this
to
serious breach of the peace.
Our concern over the lawless action taken by the forces
from North Korea, and our sympathy and support for the people of
Korea in this situation, are being demonstrated by the cooperative
action of American personnel in Korea, as well as by steps taken
to expedite and augment assistance of the type being furnished under
the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
Those responsible for this act of aggression must realize
how seriously the Government of the United States views such threats
to the peace of the world. Willful disregard of the obligation to
keep the peace cannot be tolerated by nations thnt support the
United Nations Charter.
