Editorial Note
At the plenary meeting of July 11 at Panmunjom, Delegate Nam Il dismissed Harrison’s assurances of the previous day as unsatisfactory and pressed for a definite “yes” or “no” answer to his questions. As per his instructions from the Joint Chiefs, Harrison stated that the United Nations Command would not give support to any aggressive action by Republic of Korea Army units in violation of the armistice, but this answer failed to satisfy the Communist side. Records of this session can be found in telegrams C 63608 and CX 63617, both July 11, 1953, neither printed. (Matthews files, lot 53 D 413)
