A telegram sent by Ridgway to the Joint chief of staff
A top-secret document stating the position of the u.s. on the ROK civilian abduction issue. it expresses
concerns that the roK government would protest when only foreign civilians were released. the ROK
government emphasized that the same efforts should be put towards the release of leading 5,000 ROK
civilians as much as the POW release at the armistice conference, but Ridgway, the U.S. commander in
chief, said that he would not raise the issue of releasing ROK civilians before a decision on the POW issue
was made.
