INTRODUCTION

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library is well known for its holdings relating to military history in and the history of World War II in particular because of Eisenhower’s prominent role as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe. The early history of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is also documented in the Library’s holdings thanks in part to General Eisenhower’s retention in his papers documentation relating to his role as the first , Europe (SACEUR) in 1951-52 when he played a significant role in planning the defense of Western Europe. In fact, Eisenhower was primarily involved with European defense matters during the first two years of the . Eisenhower’s connection with the Korean War is generally associated with the achievement of an armistice during the seventh month of his presidency. This last phase of the Korean War is, indeed, documented in depth at the Eisenhower Library. What may not be well known is that the Eisenhower Library holds important collections that document the early phases of the War and even to a limited extent, its background. More than 60 collections (over 10% of the Library’s holdings) contain information about the Korean War, its background or immediate aftermath. Another 30 collections include material regarding post-1954 U.S.-Korean relations with many collections documenting both the war and the years afterwards.

This guide is intended to facilitate research in the Eisenhower Library’s holdings on the Korean War and on -Korean relations in general. Consequently, the guide includes information on Korea dated as early as World War II and as recent as 1969. The bulk of the documentation falls into two periods however: the Korean War and immediate aftermath (1950 through 1954) and post Korean War - 1954- 1960. Collections with material falling exclusively after 1954 have been so designated in the guide with the notation: Post-1954 material only.

Collections listed herein are fully processed and available for research unless indicated otherwise. Some documents relating to the Korean War and to U.S.- Korean relations afterwards are still security- classified and will be unavailable for research until they can be declassified. Notations indicating that portions of a given collection are security-classified are normally included with each collection entry. Documents withdrawn from processed collections because of security-classification are listed on withdrawal sheets that can be used by researchers to identify and request specific documents for declassification review in accordance with the mandatory review provisions of 12958. Most information still classified concerning the Korean War or Korea relates either to intelligence or to military defense and weapons systems.

This guide is intended to supplement but not replace the finding aids currently available for the Library’s many collections. Because of the widely scattered nature of documentation, however, it should not be considered absolutely definitive and pertinent materials may be found in locations not listed on the guide. Researchers should still use finding aids in addition to this guide as they may well find headings not included in the guide. Information on Korea can be found both in logical locations (i.e. file folders entitled "Korea" or "Korean War") and in less clearly identified places such as, for example, within chronologically arranged file series or under broad headings such as "Asia", "" or "Military Assistance".

While the Library holds rich documentation on the Korean War including materials many might not expect to find here, its holdings do have limitations. For example, Dwight Eisenhower’s presidential files contain little on casualty reporting; consequently accurate information on casualties must be sought elsewhere. No records were apparently kept for many meetings held in the in 1953 and on President-elect Eisenhower’s trip to Korea in December 1952. The Library holds no records of daily intelligence briefings given the President during this period. The Military Liaison during this period, Paul T. Carroll, who undoubtedly dealt with many Korean War related matters, left little in the way of records. Please also remember, these files record the United States Government’s actions and policies but one must look elsewhere for documentation on the intentions and plans of the leaders of the North Korean, Chinese and Soviet governments. (As an example, one can find in the Library a paper trail documenting Dwight Eisenhower’s actions and thoughts regarding the achievement of the Korean armistice. What is not shown here is what the North Korean, Chinese and Soviet leaders actually thought about Eisenhower’s actions. Thus the picture is one-sided.) In spite of these limitations, the Library’s holdings contain much documentation to support research on the Korean War and on U.S.-Korean relations. It is hoped that this guide can help users find their way through the millions of pages of documents as they search for nuggets of information.

EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Papers, Pre-Presidential, 1916-1952. A few months after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, President Truman designated General Eisenhower to be the first commander of NATO ground and air forces with the title Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR).

K. NSC Series This is one of the most important series in Dwight Eisenhower's Papers for studying overall foreign and national security policy. The series consists of Records of NSC Actions in boxes 1-3 that are cut and dried records indicating decisions made with detailed summaries of NSC discussions found in Boxes 4-13. There are occasional briefing notes or other documents related to NSC discussion items found in this series as well. Many , but by no means all, of the NSC Summaries of Discussion (SODs) are printed in the Department of State's Foreign Relations of the United States Series. Because individual SODs often covered several different geographical and functional topics, one may find parts of some SODs printed in a number of the FRUS volumes. To help users sort this out, a volunteer checked each SOD with the FRUS volumes and inserted sheets indicating which agenda items were printed in which volumes and if so, indicated if printed in full or in part. If not found at all, the sheets indicate that as well. One point to remember, many SODs were printed in FRUS volumes published during the 1980s or early 1990s. Some of these documents were denied publication, at least in part. Within the last few years previously denied information has been released so users should check each SOD carefully. This is certainly true for the discussions of Korea in 1953. Some information in this series remains security classified as of June 2000.

WHITE HOUSE OFFICE, NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL STAFF: Papers. 1948-61. This is a major source of documentation on the Korean War and on post-war U.S.-Korean relations. For POW/MIA issues and psychological warfare, it may be the best single source of documentation in the Eisenhower Library's holdings. There are materials hidden in obscure places such as folders entitled "Special" in the Executive Secretary's Subject File Series. Some of these refer to Korean War questions early in the war. Listed below are series with selected box numbers and folder titles. Because some topics were so broad and cover many countries, it is not feasible to list all folders conceivably containing information on Korea. Researchers are recommended to examine this collection carefully because it offers much potentially rich information on Korea. Portions of this collection remain security-classified as of the summer of 2000. Much of the security-classified information pertains to intelligence matters.

C. Disaster File Series (Should be cross-checked with the NSC Series, Policy Papers Subseries in the Records of the White House Office of the Special Assistant For National Security Affairs), listed following the listing for the NSC Staff Papers). This Disaster File was named because it was established as a duplicate set of NSC papers to use in case a disaster wiped out the working files). It contains a run of NSC policy papers beginning with NSC 8 "The Position of the United States With Respect to Korea", dated April 2, 1948 and continuing through the period of the Korean War and through the post-Korean War 32 period to NSC 6018 "U.S. Policy Toward Korea" dated November 28, 1960. Many of these papers are duplicated in the Files of the White House Office of the Special Assistant For National Security Affairs and many have been printed at least in part in the Department of State's Foreign Relations of the United States series. However, some of these papers have been printed only in part so they should be checked against the appropriate FRUS volume(s) carefully. A copy of Henry Tasca's report to the President "Strengthening the Korean Economy" dated June 15, 1953 is found in the Disaster File Series but not elsewhere in the Library's holdings.

E. Operations Coordinating Board Series. This large file (129 boxes) begins in late 1953 where the Psychological Strategy Board left off and continues to about May 1957. The OCB Central Files for the period from June 1957 to the end of the Eisenhower Administration is part of Record Group 273 in the National Archives at College Park (Archives II). The OCB dealt with a plethora of foreign relations and national security issues and was particularly concerned with the psychological impact of NSC actions and policies and produced reports on the implementation of NSC numbered policy papers. Working groups were established to thrash out procedures for developing these progress reports or for reporting on specific problem areas. Consequently, the OCB Central Files Series contain reports, drafts of reports, memoranda of working group meetings, correspondence and other materials. Boxes 110-112 consist of Daily Intelligence Abstracts that are comprised of 1-2 page memoranda, each containing paragraphs reporting developments regarding countries around the world. Korea and post-Korean war issues including POW/MIA matters can be found in these intelligence abstracts but one must search for them. Information on Korea can be found throughout the OCB Central Files so the folder listing is selective and cannot be considered comprehensive. Particular attention should be given to the files "OCB 383.6 Prisoners of War - Korean War" in Boxes 117-118, PCB 387.4 Korea Armistice in Box 121, OCB 702.5 - "Brainwashing and Psychological Examination" and OCB 729.2 "Biological Warfare 1953" in Box 124 and OCB 091.

F. OCB Secretariat Series This series contains OCB, PSB and related material from 1945 (Edward Lilly's History of Psychological operations covers period 1945-51) through end of the Eisenhower Administration. This series contains the most complete set of minutes of OCB meetings in the Library's holdings (Boxes 11-17) and OCB Activity Reports from 1957 to 1961 (Boxes 8-11) as well as historical, organizational and administrative material relating to the OCB and to some extent, the PSB. Thus, this series documents the overall functioning of the OCB. References to Korea may be found scattered within the minutes and under broad headings such as "Doctrinal Warfare". The folders listed below are merely those in which information on Korea has clearly been identified.

G. PSB Central Files Series The Psychological Strategy Board was established by President Harry Truman in 1951 and was terminated in September 1953 and replaced by the Operations Coordinating Board (OCB). This series contains much documentation relating to the Korean War, particularly POW/MIA and psychological warfare issues for which it is one of the Library's key sources of information. The PSB Central Files Series should be used in conjunction with the file of PSB material in Boxes 14-17 of the NSC Registry Series (See description above) where minutes of PSB meetings and numbered PSB papers are found. The PSB Central Files Series also contain PSB numbered papers but also memoranda of working groups, other memoranda and correspondence, and daily intelligence abstracts.

WHITE HOUSE OFFICE, OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT (Joseph Winslow, John Carroll, Rocco Siciliano, and Eugene Lyons): Records, 1953-61. These records pertain to U.S. government personnel, primarily civilian, but information relating to civilian and military personnel overseas. Information on U.S. Government personnel in Korea as well as employment of Korean nationals can be found scattered within file on Government employment overseas in Boxes 92-121. Much of this material relates to overall programs and policies but occasional specific references to Korea can be found. Pertinent information has been identified in file folders listed below but other folders may be worth checking if interested in U.S. Government personnel in Korea. (Post 1954 Information on Korea) Box 108 Overseas Housing - Extracts from Reports re Civilian Employees in Far East Box 113 Employees Overseas - geographic distribution of U.S. citizen employees by country Box 119 Personnel - comments on trip to Japan, Korea and Pacific, December 1957 Box 120 Report on Overseas Conditions - Oct-Nov Trip to Far East including Korea by Joseph Winslow

WHITE HOUSE OFFICE, OFFICE OF THE STAFF SECRETARY (Paul T. Carroll, Andrew J Goodpaster, L. Arthur Minnich and Christopher H. Russell): Records, 1952-61. This is a major national security related collection weighed heavily during the period from late 1954 on when served as White House Staff Secretary. The Office of the White House Staff Secretary was 38 involved in daily management, liaison with agencies, briefings, trip planning and crisis management. There is not so much material on long term National Security Council planning as will be found in the Records of the Special Assistant For National Security Affairs or the NSC Staff Papers. The Staff Secretary Records do document the role of Andrew Goodpaster and his assistants, L. Arthur Minnich, John S.D. Eisenhower, and Christopher Russell in the conduct of day-to-day policy. Topics covered particularly well in these records include intelligence activities, intelligence briefings of the President (1958 to 1961), liaison with the Department of Defense, major crises, particularly those involving short term movement of military personnel such as those in Lebanon and Berlin but also the Little Rock school desegregation crisis, international trips, and foreign relations with many countries. These records should be used in conjunction with President Eisenhower's Papers as President (Ann Whitman File) since there are many documents duplicated in both collections. Also, however, some materials found in the Whitman File are enhanced by additional documentation in the Records of the White House Staff Secretary. For example, the Cabinet and Legislative Leaders Meetings Series in the Whitman File should be used in conjunction with the handwritten notes taken by Arthur Minnich and filed in the Records of the Staff Secretary. Details on events early in the Administration such as the Korean War can be found in these handwritten notes but not necessarily in the typed summaries found in the Whitman File. In summary, this is a rich, high level body of documentation that ranks close to the Whitman File in terms of its contents of historically significant materials. Portions remain security-classified as of the summer of 2000.

A. Cabinet Series Until a revised finding aid for this series is prepared, users should consult the finding aid to the Cabinet Series in Dwight D. Eisenhower's Papers for subjects covered in this series but also consult the index to Cabinet and Legislative Leaders meetings found in the L. Arthur Minnich Series described below. Please note that Dr. Minnich's handwritten notes of Cabinet meetings contain details of discussions of many topics not included in the typed summaries found in the Cabinet Series of the Whitman File. Box 1 C-2 (1) Cabinet meeting of 2/12/53 - notes on discussion of decontrol actions.

B. International Series This series contains heads of state correspondence , memoranda, memoranda of conversations, briefing papers and other documentation reflecting conduct of foreign policy. Series is arranged alphabetically by country and is weighted heavily toward period 1957-January 1961. This series should be cross checked with International Series in Ann Whitman File for duplication. There is high level documentation found here that is not in the Whitman File, however. Box 8 Korea (1)-(4)- July 1958 to January 1961

C. International Trips and Meetings Series (1955-1961) This series is in a sense a companion to the International Series with the focus on Presidential trips and conferences.

These contain summaries of Presidential decisions and comments at meetings other than Cabinet and Legislative Leadership. These should be checked for bits of information not necessarily found elsewhere in the Library’s holdings on the Korean War
