제7, 8차 본회의 보고
Tokyo, May 12, 1958
No.06
Dear Mr. President:
As I reported in my report No.05 of May 8, the seventh plenary session of the overall talks was held at 3:15 plm., May 8, as scheduled, at the Japanese Foreign Office. In compliance with the Government instructions our side proposed at the session that the work for the Committees on Legal Status of Korean Residents in Japan and on Korean Claims be started first and that among matters to be discussed at the Committee on Korean Claims, those on vessels and art objects be given priority.
I told the Japanese side that the above-mentioned matters had considerably been discussed at the past conferences and that for smooth and efficient proceedings of the talks it was considered practical take them up first.
Chief Japanese Delegate Sawada in reply stated that,although he had no particular objection to our idea, the Japanese side wanted the Committe on Legal Status of Korean Residents in Japan to start first. At repeated insistence by our side, the Japanese side agreed to give our proposal further study to reach decision in time for next plenary session scheduled for this morning (May 12).
At the eighth plenary session which began at 10:30 a.m. today, I again called upon the Japanese side to accept our proposal presented at the previous session, reiterating that it was the best way to proceed the talks, as these matters had undergone considerable debate before and it was easier to settle them first.
Ambessador Sawada finally stated that he accepted the Korean proposal that the work for the Committees on Legal Status of Korean Residents in Japan and on Korean Claims be taken up first, with understanding that the Committee on Fisheries and "Peace Line" would start as early as possible.
At today's session agreement has also been reached on such procedural matters for the forthcoming committee sessions as languages, summary records, press release, etc. In addition, the two sides exchanged the lists of members of the committees which indicates the following chief members have respectively been named:
Furthermore, it has also been agreed at the session today that the schedule for actual meetings of the two committees be decided by both chief members of the committees and that next plenary session be held at 10:30 a.m., May 14, for confirmation of summary records.
As briefly reported in the foregoing, the work for the Committees on Korean Claims and on Legal Status of Korean Residents in Japan will be started in a few days. Therefore, it would be highly appreciated, if the Government instructions be given me on the works of the above two committees.
With sentiments of loyalty and esteem, I remain,
