to On 29 July-the North Koreans and Chinese Communists were arguing about placing
the subject of a political conference on the P'anmun~om agendas The North
.Koreans wish a political conference on Korea to be held at Kaesong after the
P'ar~m:~~~om talks are concluded, and therefore want this item on the P'anmun~om
age~.da .
2, The Chinese Communists are also eager to have a subsequent conference to settle
differences oti Korea, but they feel that arrangements for the conference should
follow the armistice agreement and see no reason to insist that a discussion on
this point be included in the P~anmun~om talks.. Furthermore, the Chinese
Communists want the conference to be held outside Korea, preferably in Chinao
On 29 July Chinese delegate HSIEH Fang (62002455) was exerting pressure on the
North Korean delegation to agree to a Soviet-Chinese Communist plan to settle
the P'anmun~om questions first,,, then to present a solid front for a political
conference.
Commento The prisoner-of war issue will be resolved, and an armistice
w e concluded. The North Korean delegation at P'anmun~om feels that the
combined Chinese_ Communist North Korean tactics have had an adverse effect on
the United States delegation> For this reason, and because the North Koreans
are worried by the repeated United Nations air strikes on industrial targets,
the North Koreans may become more conciliatory in their attitude at the
Conference.
