August 16, 1955	Letter, I. D. White to President Syngman Rhee General White appeals to President Rhee to accept the United Nations Command’s offer to pay Korean Service Corps laborers. Because the KSC’s existence is essential to the joint defense effort, immediate steps should be taken to solve this issue as soon as possible.
January 21, 1954	Letter, General James A. Van Fleet to President Rhee General Van Fleet first addresses the two sides of the Asian question. Should the US 1) try to “win back Asia” or 2) face the "reality" of the present conditions and should not recommence fighting in Korea? He advises Rhee to concentrate on expanding the ROK army and to leave reunification matters to the US and the United Nations.
March 4, 1954	Letter, President Syngman Rhee to General Van Fleet President Rhee once again suggests that the US government should increase the ROK defense forces. It will not only be cheaper to fund Korean (over American) divisions, it also means that Americans do not need to fight in Korea. Rhee then negotiates that if the US government implements the necessary military buildup aid, he too will not take any “unilateral action” for or against the future Geneva Conference until after it has been in session. Finally, Rhee advocates his disapproval of US interest to build up Japan.
May 8, 1954	Letter, President Syngman Rhee to General Van Fleet The United States has appropriated the ROK a billion dollars’ worth of weapons and supplies. Rhee gives General Van Fleet full control of these funds and encourages him to help transform the ROK into a self-supporting nation. Instead of buying Japanese goods, Korea should set-up her own arms and ammunition producing machines.
