Memorandum: Conversation by Frank P. Corrigan and Thomas Cory of the US Mission in the United Nations

Date: May 3, 1951, New York

Subject: Some Soviet Views on the World Situation

Malik [Yakov "Jacob" Malik, Permanent Soviet Representative to the United Nations] continued to insist that the United States occupies Formosa, adducing as additional proof the recent establishment of an American Military Advisory Group for Formosa. At this point, Tsarapkin [Semen K. Tsarapkin, Alternate Soviet Representative to the United Nations] came into the conversation to observe that there were various forms of occupation and the United States could occupy Formosa without many Americans being present.
