March 24, 1974	Telegram from Pyongyang to Bucharest, SECRET, Urgent, No. 060.127 In the aftermath of the failed inter-Korean dialogues, the North Koreans conclude that they must establish diplomatic relations with the United States. The telegram describes the rationale behind the move and the goal of limiting the interference of the United States on the Korean Peninsula.
