The Acting Secretary of State to the Political Adviser in Korea (Langdon)
63. 1. Dept feels American position outlined in your Tfurc 30 sound and hopes it can be maintained as criteria for consultation with representatives in line with that accepted for party recognition set forth in Tfurc 27.
2. It is not clear from Tfurc 34 as received here how requirement by Commission that a substitute be selected for a representative known to be hostile to Moscow decision or Soviet Union can be interpreted as a willingness of the Soviets “alone to take the consequences of refusing to deal with Korean party leaders hostile to them” since US is party to Commission.
