A memorandum produced for Henry Kissinger laying out U.S. policy towards the South Korean nuclear program.

Richard Smyser writes to General Brent Scowcroft about the defense of the five islands off the northwest coast of Korea and whether or not the defense of these islands is bound to the U.S.-South Korea Mutual Defense Treaty.
