LEGAL VIEW OF THIS PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: A STATE CAN ALWAYS DENY, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS, THAT ITS ACTIONS SIGNIFY RECOGNITION, EJT THERE MAY BE A POINT AT WHICH SUCH ASSERTIONS LACK CREDIBILITY. FROM A LEGAL POINT OF VIEN, A COMUNIQUE WOULD SIMPLY BE THE FINAL ACT OF THE SPECIAL MISSION AND MAY BE INTERPRETED STRICTLY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF TE MISSION ITSELF. BUT THIS FURTHER EXTENSION OF THE PRINCIPLE WHICH GOVERNS SPECIAL MISSIONS MIGHT WELL BE QUESTIONED. MOREOVER, ANY LANGUAGE .

AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT CAN, OF COURSE, TAKE THE FORM OF A COMAUNIQUE. 3. TESE CONSIDERATIONS UNDERLINE SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR EARLIER INSTRUCTION THAT YOU SHOULD RESIST AS FIRMLY AS YOU CAN ANY NORTH VIETNAMESE PRESSURE TO ISSUE COMMUNIQUE AT CONCLUSION OF VISIT. WE RECOGNIZE HOWEVER THAT SUCH .ACTION MAY BE UNAVOIDABLE OR THAT NORTH VIETNAMESE WILL INSIST ON ISSUING THEIR ON ANNOUNCEMENT. IF SO TEXT SHOULD SPECIFY THAT CONVERSATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE BETWEEN THE NORTH VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT AND SMALLBRIDGE SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA, WHICH IS A MEMBER OP THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR SUPERVISION AND CONTROL IN VIETNAM. IT SHOULD NOT STATE THAT QUOTE AGREEMENT UNQUOTE HAS BEEN REACHED Oli ANY MATTERS. THIS FORM OF WORDS WOULD PROBABLY BE SUFFICIENT TO INDICATE THAT VISIT FLOWS FROM OUR ROLE ON THE COMMISSION AND DOES NOT IMPLY A DEPARTURE FROM ESTABLISHED BASIS OF OUR RELATIONS WITH NORTH VIETNAM WHICH ARE NOT BASED ON RECOGNITION. **/ EXT IGA (6/64) (COMAM’s DIV) 000393 y � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
