^[[SPA-1]] 8 November 1966 AIR MAIL Dr. Edwin L. Tyson c/o American Embassy APO San Francisco 96301 Dear Ed: You know that the contract has been signed. Within the next ^[[Note -> done 23 Nov]] week I shall be sending you 4 copies of the contract -- for Dr. Kang, the U. S. Embassy, the U. N. Command, and yourself. We received everything we requested in the budget, including funds to send Ke Chung Kim to Korea. Funds are also provided for moving your family to Korea.

We must be very cautious to avoid any international incidents. I hope that our Korean colleagues will also use good discretion in carrying out field work. ^[[Note]] [[arrow pointing to hand-drawn bracket indicating the following paragraph]] Under separate cover I am sending the pictures you made last September, I have kept out one 8 x 10 of each of the pictures I had printed from your negatives. I am also sending a complete set of the enlargements made from my own negatives. You may like to show them to our Korean colleagues, various persons in the military and embassy, and finally turn them over to Dr. Kang. I have 3 additional prints of each picture, in case you need more. I shall suggest to Ke Chung Kim that he go to Korea shortly after Christmas. This won't be the most pleasant time of the year for his visit, but it is important that he arrive soon if he is to contribute real help in formulating the 5-year plan. I appreciated your good letter and the shot record of the filming you did in the DMZ. Please take every opportunity to obtain additional
