어업 및 평화선위원회 제6차 회의에 대한 대통령과 정부의 지시 요청
Tokyo, December 3, 1958
Dear Mr. President:
As I reported to Your Excellency by my cable No.MTB-071 of November 28, 1958, this delegation told the Japanese side at the fifth session of the Committee on Fisheries and Peace Line that the Japanese idea as expressed in the so-called the "Gist of Japan-Korea Provisional Fisheries Agreement" submitted by the latter was, at a glance, too far from the Korean view regarding fisheries. However, the delegation reserved the expression of our formal concrete views thereon at the Committee meeting until next meeting with a view to dealing with the matter carefully.
Under the circumstances, it is deemed necessary for this delegation to have Government instructions on how to deal with the matter at the forthcoming session of the Committee on Fisheries and Peace Line scheduled to be held at 11 a.m. on December 5, 1958. In this connection, this delegation has thought of the following alternatives:
A) Whether this delegation would flattly reject the Japanese gist by saying that it could hardly be a basis for the deliberation at the Committee.
B) Whether this delegation would reserve for the time being the expression of our flat rejection of the gist and put forward several questions on the gist, pointing out how the gist is unreasonable and unconstructive.
This delegation believes that it would be opportune tor our side to take it into consideration that the Japanese side might attempt to make use of the gist in shifting to our side the responsibility for the impasse of the talks.
Thus, in the light of the Japanese habit of bargaining things to the last minute, it might be advisable for our side to follow a measure of leading the committee proceedings on fishery fisheries to sound out the real Japanese intention on fishery problems.
With the sentiment of loyalty and esteem, I remain,
