The talks, dealing with problems arising from or magnified by the Korean conflict, were exploratory in nature. The text of the Agreed Joint Memorandum resulting from the talks is scheduled for publication in volume III. For extracts of those portions dealing with the Far East, see volume VII, page 462. Material on the conversations and records of the individual meetings are contained in Department of State file 611.41/8–450.
