740.00119 Control (Korea)/9–1346
The Chief of the Division of Protocol (Woodward) to Mr. Ben C. Limb, Washington
Dear Sir: Receipt is acknowledged of your letter dated September 13, 1946, together with its enclosures55 pertaining to your appointment as an official of the Representative Democratic Council of South Korea.
Your courtesy in making these documents available to the Department is appreciated. Since it is understood, however, that the Council is acting as an advisory body only to the United States Army Command in Korea, and therefore local in character, there appears to be no basis upon which its recognition abroad can be established.
Very truly yours,
