January 19, 1953	Despatch No. 372 from American Embassy Taipei to the Department of State, 'Monthly Political Report for December 1952' The Monthly Political Report for December 1952 highlights Dr. Hu Shih's visit to Taiwan, during which he advocated for democratic reforms and criticized one-party rule, eliciting mixed reactions within the Kuomintang. The report also discusses legislative challenges, including the delayed passage of the land reform bill, and President Chiang Kai-shek's New Year address emphasizing mobilization for anti-communism and a return to the mainland. Local elections were praised for their improved conduct, while diplomatic representation in Taipei grew with the addition of new missions.

May 15, 1960	Transcript of the Conversation between N.S. Khrushchev and the President of the French Republic, Charles de Gaulle, regarding incidents with American Aircraft and the Participation of the USSR in the Summit On May 15, 1960, Nikita Khrushchev met with French President Charles de Gaulle in Paris to discuss the fallout from recent incidents involving US reconnaissance aircraft violating Soviet airspace. Khrushchev emphasized the Soviet Union’s outrage over these acts, labeling them as aggression and a threat to sovereignty. He called for the US to acknowledge its violations, condemn the actions, hold those responsible accountable, and commit to ceasing such provocations. De Gaulle expressed regret over the incidents but maintained that espionage was an inevitable reality of modern geopolitics. He assured Khrushchev that he would convey the Soviet statement to US President Dwight Eisenhower but noted that France had not participated in planning the reconnaissance missions. The discussion also touched on broader themes of disarmament and international cooperation, with Khrushchev reiterating the USSR’s readiness to engage in the summit only if the US changed its course. De Gaulle stressed the necessity of dialogue to prevent future incidents and achieve détente. Both leaders reaffirmed their nations' desire for peace but left the resolution of the immediate crisis contingent on US actions.
