To Minister Yong Shik Kim
From the President
I shall be interested to read your comments on your interview with the International Red Cross representatives Michel and de Weck, who visited Pyongyang to see about the missing prisoners of war and the 18,000 Korean kidnapees. We want to find out asmuch as we can about them.
As I was dictating this letter 1 received you confidential cable advising of your interview. The communists are, of course, using their usual methods of duplicity and cunning, and are deliberately dodging the issue. I shall await receipt of your detailed report.
