. The following account of the conference proceeding is based on both memory and
formal notes. Formal notes were taken by our appointed note taker, journalist Sol
Sanders. Additionally, several of the attendees kept field notes. All of these were
compared each evening and together formed the basis of a draft document, which
our interpreter reviewed. General Stilwell and I then edited the draft report on the
lengthy return flight, which was routed from Pyongyang to Beijing, then to Hong
Kong, Seoul, and eventually back to the United States. A further edited version of
this report was later published by the International Security Council as Security on
the Korean Peninsula. The account that follows is likely the most accurate and bal-
anced report of the proceedings on the conference in print to date. ‒ •
