The Ambassador in Korea (Muccio) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 24—12:49 a. m.]
72. ReDeptels 251 and 26, July 20 on UP despatch. Check reveals quoted despatch is paraphrase of much longer despatch on general subject filed by Ralph Teatsorth on July 19. Teatsorth filed despatch after long, private, off record, informal talk with FSR Noble who assures me he was not speaking on subject for publication.
I have again strictly instructed staff to refrain from any discussion whatsoever this issue. On receipt Deptel 16, July 14, I invited members my staff and also Army’s attention to its content since US Government official, in that case, proved to be acting PIO. Every effort will be made by all US Government agencies here to abide by Department directives.
