The Office Memorandum outlines strategies for addressing potential United Nations discussions on the Formosa (Taiwan) issue. It emphasizes the US policy of neutralizing Formosa to prevent its seizure by forces hostile to US interests, advocates for delaying any definitive action, and suggests diverting discussions toward a study commission if debate becomes unavoidable, while reaffirming the US stance against ceding Formosa to Communist China.
