TOP SECRET DOCUMENT RELEASED
Today thousands of President Nixon's White House documents were declassified and made public. I thought you might like to read just one of them. I'm reviewing many more and if I find something really good I will post it here, so check back later.
Now the top secret memo between President Nixon and President Pak of S. Korea.
President Nixon: Before we go into a detailed discussion today, I would like to explain a few-items on my new policy toward Korea. Kim Il-Song's regime is one ofthe rnost aggressive and unreasonable Communist countries in the world. As you're aware, the Pueblo incident occurred before I took over the Presidency.
During MY election campaign, I noted that to give a warning to North Korea once is sufficient. If North Korea provokes another provoca tive incident, we will react, are prepared to react and will take measures harsher than the enemy provocation. This message was given to the Soviet Am bassador In the U. S. and I believe it was conveyed to North Korea.
Now I would like to elaborate on my new policy toward Asia. The press overlooked my statement to the effect that the U.S. willfulfill its treaty obligations with the Asian countries oncerned. We will honor the U.S. -ROK Defense Treaty. What we must think over is what would be the best way to keep these commitments. We have relaxed our travel restrictions and purchases with regard to Communist China, but we regard Communist China as an aggressive nation. U.S. policy toward Cornrnunist China has not changed, and we will not admit the country into the U.1 . It is also necessary in this connection to pay attention to the Sino-Soviet conflict. As you know, the Soviet Union has not helped us in solving the issues concerning Cornrnunist China, North Korea, the Vietnam War and the Middle East. It is also one of the countries which provide military aid to North Korea. END

Lord...what a difference a half a century makes. This is gravity. This is certainty. This is definition. We need this in today's world BIG TIME!
