Contained herein are certain published materials which have been assembled and compiled by the staff of the Armed Services Committee, with the assistance of the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress, for the use of the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Relations in connection with their inquiry into the military situation in the Far East. Attention is invited to House Report No. 2495, Eighty-first Congress, second session, entitled "Background Information on Korea," prepared by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, pursuant to House Resolution 206, and to "United States Policy in the Korean Crisis," Publication 3922, Far Eastern Series 34, Department of State, for information relative to the situation in Korea to the dates of their publication in July 1950. This compilation does not duplicate the material contained in those publications, but supplements them by presenting (1) the text of communications providing the basis for the present inquiry, (2) a chronology of significant events pertinent to such inquiry prepared by the Legislative Reference Service, and (3) the text of certain statements and communications pertaining to the subject of this inquiry. This compilation represents an initial effort to assemble reference materials which may be of assistance to the committees in the conduct of their study. Undoubtedly it is incomplete in many respects, but no source material (other than that contained in the publications referred to above) available to the staff at the date of printing has been omitted. Fragmentary material, and items for which a complete and authentic text was not available at the time of this printing, have been excluded. In the preparation of this compilation the staff has not undertaken to supply any analysis or evaluation of the materials contained herein, RICHARD B. RUSSELL, Chairman. 3357 |
