Ozbudun updates Narasimhan on domestic and peninsular political developments. President Park instates the Garrison Act of 1950 on college campuses, increasing repression tactics. The National Assembly reconvened after 12 days of deadlock over the agenda. While the Red Cross "family search campaign" is in deadlock over the agenda, the general mood is positive.

In the first three quarters of FY 1971, the ROK economy has experienced increased inflation, an export deficit , and a decrease in industrial and textile production.
