SUBJECT: Huang Chen's Request that His Wife
Call on Mrs. Nixon
During a tour of the Presidential monuments on-July 11; PRC Liaison
Office Chief Huang Chen approached me and inquired whether it might
be possible for his Wife to call on Mrs. Nixon and to present her with
a gift. Huang noted that his wife had already called on the Wives of
the Secretary of State, Under Secretary Porter, and Acting Assistant
Secretary for East Asia, Arthur Hummel. He said that if it was no
trouble and according to American custom, his wife would also like to
pay a courtesy call on the First Lady. I said I would report his request
to you.
Huang's request can be s.een as both a polite gesture and an effort to sus-
tain the high visibility which we have already accorded his mission. The
visibility is obviously one dimension of the PRC's effort to overshadow
our relations with the ROC; and knowledge of such a call would undoubted-
ly add to Taipei's sense of being out in the cold. In addition, the Indian
Government has protested the President's prompt reception of Huang
Chen at a time when their new ambassador was continuing his long wait
to present credentials. Despite such points of objection, however, an
informal inquiry of Protocol at State 'regarding such a call drew no strong
? objection. My own judgment is that such a call should be granted, given
the President's goal of normalizing relations with the PRC, but that it
would best be carried out without press visibility.
You will recall that you invited Ambassador Huang to come to San
Clemente after the Brezhnev visit for discussions. Perhaps he might
bring his wife along, and have her call on the First Lady at that time.
On the assumption that you would approve such a courtesy call, we have
drafted two memoranda from General Scowcroft to Lucy Winchester,
the first (at Tab A) suggesting a call by Mine. Huang on the First Lady in

SUBJECT: UNCURK UNC
3, 1973
As bly
UNCURK could be suspended or diss.owed without major effect on our
\-
own, position or that of the ROK. The ROK up to now has had a privileged
position in the UN because of UNCURK; and the ROK has not wanted to
have the question raised because it would result in demands -- hard to
refuse -- by North Korea to participate in debate. ?:But North Korea's
accession to the WHO has all but assured it observer status at the
UNGA; artd the ROK as part of its new proposals is prepared to take
the initiative to suspend UNC UK. The PRO (and North Korea), however,
have wanted UNCURK dissolved and in a way which would have the effect
of asserting that its original constitution was without justification.
We have indicated that we had a two-step process in mind: (1) adjournment
sine-die, and (2) final dissolution. The ROK is clearly prepared to move
now to the first step. It possibly can be pushed to accept dissolution
(particularly since Australia may now intend to drop its membership ?
the third to do so; Chile left in 1949, Pakistan in 1972) provided that it
is done without prejudice to that body's original purposes.
The UNC
re complex problem*
looms 1ager in the calculations of the North Cor cans (and the
RC and t USSR as ) than does UNCURK and therefor
ore significant bargaining chip.
-- The ROK Sees it as a sense, an international guarantee of its
security. The ROK would be unlikely to accept a major change in
its status or its ultimate disposition except in the context of a
security guarantee and continued commitment of U.S. forces coupled
with security assurances frorn concerned powers including the USSR
and the PRC.
There are subsidiary relationships which would have to be worked
out (the Military Armistice Commission, the Agreements with Japan
for use f bases there in defense of UN forces in Korea, third country
stat is..of.forces agreement for tlte?use of certa,in U.S. bases in
Japan in support of UN operations, U.S. operational control of ROK
forcesetc.)

unlikely that th
erests and m
n be accomplished in
he ROK's concerns
To proceed on UNC one requires only that the OK propose
suspension or dissolution to the UNGA. There Is little doubt that the
proposal would be approved. There could be a move by some opponents
of UN presence in Korea to couple this with an attack on the UNC, Such
a move would be unlikely to succeed though there could be some acri-
monious debate tven if it did succeed, an UNGA resolution would be
without effect -- The Security Council created and would have to terminate
the UNC.
Mr. Rush's paper lays out a scenario which would effect the dissolution
of both UNCURK and the UNC, get assurances for the security of South
Korea, and see both Koreas admitted to the UN this fall. As a total
package to be achieved ultimately this reeognizes the realities and makes
sense. But it is a very large bite to take for one swallow. It is doubtful
that the intense negotiations required could be accomplished in the time
available between now and this fall. Moreover, the ROK has moved a
giant step forward in recognizing the realities in its new proposals.
To push them to the ultimate now, even before their own new proposals
have been fully aired, might cause retrogression on their part -- they
could see this as a move by the United States toward withdrawal of
support and disengagement.

now on UNCURK thereby indicating to the PRC the good faith of our
undertakings. And we can hold out the prospect for a broader advance
encompassing some change in the UNC over the coming year. We are
o witted to providing a scenario by which the UNCURK question will
be resolved and we can do so now.
