[a. m.], concerning action to be taken in Korea relative problem recognition Korean Government to be formed as result May 10 elections were discussed yesterday with President Quirino. He stated “My government is a member of UNTCOK and therefore I feel that measures decided upon by the Commission should be supported. I see no objection to the plan of action contemplated by the US soon after the formation of the new Korean Government”.
