The U.S. side wishes to inform the Chinese side that the Govern-
ment of the Republic of Korea (ROK), with the encouragement and
support of the United States, has initiated a major review of its foreign
policy, particularly regarding the role of the United Nationl. on the
Korean Peninsula, its relations with North Korea, and its dealings
wiJh the other major powers( Once this review has been completed,
the leadership of the Republic of Korea will state publicly its recon-
sidered positions. We anticipate such a public statement in the near
-future.
For its part, the United States is recommending to the Republic
of Korea and will lend its support for the following specific policies:
-- The United States will not attempt to forestall a debate on the
Korean issue in the 28th session i of the UN General Assembly this fall,
or object to the participation of North Korea in such a debate in an
. observer status. The United States will use its influence to insure
that any such debate will not be acrimonious, but will contribute to an
orderly and constructive evolution of the Korean situation.
? As indicated in a previous message, the United State/is prepared
to urge the termination of UNCURK, or -the suspension of its
functions) with the proviseithat such termination or suspension would
be without prejudice to UNQURK's past activities.
-- Following the 28th session of the UN General Assembly, the
United States will be prepared to discuss ways in which the question
of the UN CornmandIrnight be resolved, with the understanding that
? any adjustment of security arrangements will not result in a diminution
of the security situation on the Korean Peninsula.
? With regard to both nongovernmental and governmental contacts
with North Korea, including the matter of diplomatic recognition,. the
United States is prepared to move forward'as far in its dealings with
North Korea as the Chinese side is prepared to move in its contacts
with the Republic of Korea. Our objective is to see the evolution of a
balance in the international positions of the two Korean governments.
-- The United States will support and encourage the ROK to seek
negotiated solutions to future military and political arrangements on
the Korean Peninsula with North Korea in the context of the North-
South talks.

The U.S. side presents these policy positions to the Chinese side
in confidence. We have reason to believe that these guidelines, for
the most part, will be acceptable to the ROK. We hope that the Chinese
side will use its influence with its allies to insure that discussions
between the two Korean governments regarding the future of the
Peninsula evolve in a constructive manner, and that any UN debate
or actions will contribute to an orderly resolution.of the Korean issue.

On June 14, 1973, the Soviet Foreign Minister met with
the Chinese Ambassador to the Soviet Union, proposing that
China and the Soviet Union conclude a treaty of non-aggression,
and handing us: a copy of the draft treaty.
As the U.S. side is aware, the Soviet Union had in
the past proposed the conclusion of a Sino-Soviet treaty of
mutual non-use of force, which was rejected by the Chinese
side. As the present draft treaty put forward by the Soviet
side is, in essence, not different from its past proposal,
the Chinese side will not agree to It. Logically, since
there is already a "Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual
Assistance" between China and the' Soviet Union, which, though
trampled under foot by the Soviet side, is 21.0.t abrogated,
would it not be tantamount to open negation of the Treaty
of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, if such a
"treaty of nen-aggression" were to be concluded on top of
it? Moreover, the Chinese and Soviet Premiers reached in
September 1969 an understanding to the effect that, in Order
to relax the tension and to ensure that the Sino-Soviet
boundary question could be settled through negotiations
free from any threats, the two Sides should first of all
reach an agreement on the provisional measures for maintaining
the status quo of the border, averting armed conflicts and
disengaging armed forces of the two sides in the disputed
areas along the border. Through over three years of
prolonged negotiations, the Soviet side has all along
obstructed the signing of this agreement, and now in
proposing the conclusion of such a "treaty of non-aggression",
it is in fact aimed at heading off the agreement on the
provisional measures. The purpose of the Soviet proposition

is obviously not for the settlement of the actual issues
existing between China and the Soviet Union, but for
covering up these issues, deceiving the people and fooling
the public opinion. In putting forward its proposal
right on the eve of Brezhnev's departure for the United
States, the Soviet motive is*crystal clear to all. It
is believed that the U.S. side is also aware of it.
Now we would like to provide the U.S. &Lae with a
copy of the "draft treaty of non-aggression between the
Soviet Union and China" proposed.by the Soviet side, for
its reference.
