Gadel 84. Re Membership: We would be willing support amendments to draft resolution on Laos and Cambodia contained Delga 187 provided they are revised to include ROK and Viet-Nam which have also been found qualified under previous GA resolutions and which we believe must be endorsed again by Assembly if endorsement given others. However we would prefer that amendments with ROK and Viet-Nam added constitute separate resolution in order show clearly where opposition to Laos and Cambodia lies. Request you discuss matter with sponsors draft resolution on Laos and Cambodia and with LA sponsors of amendments to obtain their agreement to separate resolution and inclusion ROK and Viet-Nam.
