Written Assurances To

To Eisenhower, Disclosure

FOSTER DULLES'

STATEMENT

Washington, July 22.

The Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, announced today that the South Korean President, Dr Syngman Rhee, had sent a personal message to President Eisenhower on July 11 saying that "he would not obstruct in any manner” the implementation of the Korean armistice terms.

Mr Dulles, in a formal statement read to reporters by one of his aides, said that-Dr Rhee wrote to Mr. Dulles the same day that while he has yielded" to the United States on the truce question he "reserved his. Government's position in the event of a collapse of the political talks which will follow an armistice.'

The Dulles statement disclosed that he is willing to meet personally with Dr Rhee promptly after the conclusion of an armistice "with a view to concerting our policies at the political conference which will follow the armistice," thus assuring the maximum chance that "the conference will achieve a unification of Korea.”

The text of Mr Dulles' state-

ment is as follows:
