Memorandum of Conversation, by the Director of the Office of United Nations Political and Security Affairs (Wainhouse)

confidential
  • Subject:
  • Chinese Representation

Miss Salt came in at her request to say that the change in the Chinese representation formula which I had discussed with her on January 18 is entirely agreeable to the Foreign Office, the UK Delegation and to the Embassy. The formula as accepted now reads:

“The General Assembly decides to postpone for the duration of the Second Part of the Eighth Regular Session consideration of all proposals to exclude the representatives of the Government of the Republic of China and to seat representatives of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China.”
