No.40
Excellency:
With regard to the question on Premier Kishi's personal letter, a signed copy of which I believe is already in Your Excellency's hands, the Japanese side is still desirous of sending a personal envoy of Premier Kishi with the original of this letter, as I reported personally to the Government.
In this regard I also discussed with Foreign Minister Cho, while in Seoul, and also with his staff. Minister Cho then suggested that I try to find out the possibility of getting some other person than Mr. Yatsugi as Mr. Kishi's personal envoy, saying that he personally thought a person like Deputy Premier Ishii might be more logical choice for this purpose.
Consequently, after my return here I immediately contacted the Japanese side to sound out the possibility for Mr. Ishii to make such a visit to Korea together with Mr. Yatsugi for the purpose of delivering the said personal letter to Your Excellency. Mr. Ishii made it clear to our side that he regretted that he would be unable to make such a visit at this time due to his heavy pressure of duties, especially in connection with the passage of the new budget bill and eventual election campaign in near future.
In the meantime, the Japanese press reported as if Premier Kishi was contemplating a visit to meet Your Excellency after Yatsugi's visit to Korea. It is my observation that, although I do not know if such a press report truly reflects official Japanese view, it was reported mostly as a trial baloon to sound out our reaction to such a possibility. I personally do not feel it absolutely necessary for Premier Kishi to visit Korea at this stage, inasmuch as I believe the settlement of the outstanding problems should be reached through expression of sincerity by the Japanese side at the resumed overtall talks.
His Excellency President Syngman Rhee
Regarding the method of receiving Kishi's personal letter, in view of Japan's insistence that Mr. Yatsugi be sent to Korea as his personal envoy and in view of the fact that the said letter will not be official until its original is received by our Government, I believe Yatsugi's visit to Korea may be favorably considered by our side. It may be added, in this connection, that Mr. ratsugi, being a personal representative of Mr. Kishi, his visit will in no way be governmental but purely of private nature.
As Your Excellency may recall, two Japanese fishery representatives (Nabeshima and Ito) were permitted to visit Korea in 1953 and were received in audience by Your Excellency. It is true that they had then been greatly impressed by words given by rour Excellency in regard to the Korea-Japan relations, as evident from their statement to the press after their return to Japan.
In view of the fact that to receive the original of Kishi's letter at an earliest possible date is to our advantage, it would be highly appreciated if the Government would decide on this matter favorably and instruct me as soon as possible.
With sentiments of loyalty and esteem, I remain,
Most respectfully,
