July 16, 1950	Monthly Report of the Indian Mission, Lhasa, for Period Ending 15th July 1950 Hugh Richardson reports from Lhasa on the latest developments in Tibet from June 15-July 15, 1950. The first section, dealing with India's relations with Tibet, was evidently removed from the report before it was shared with the British Government.
July 3, 1957	Gazette of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, 1957, No. 27 (Overall Issue No. 100) This issue contains the text of Zhou Enlai's "Report on the Work of the Government," originally delivered on June 26, 1957. It also contains a protest of the United States' violation of the Korean armistice agreement by importing "new weapons" to South Korea, a note to the British Government protesting the UK's intervention in allowing Chiang Kai-shek's regime to land an aircraft in Hong Kong and bring supporters to Taiwan, Bulgaria-China economic relations, China-Czechoslovakia economic relations, and increasing cooking oil production.
October 2, 1957	Memorandum by Frank Aiken [on an Interview with Scott McCleod and the Taoiseach] Aiken made an immediate impression on his arrival in the Twelfth Session of the UN General Assembly in September 1957. He adopted an impartial posture of assessing each issue on its merits and campaigning to remodel international politics around self-determination, humanitarianism, and peace. His exhortation was that only the UN had the moral authority and political legitimacy to put forward global solutions. While he did not propose nuclear disarmament measures specifically, his intent was signaled by his recommendation for a mutual drawback of foreign forces (including their nuclear weapons) in central Europe and his endorsement of a proposal to discuss the representation of China in the United Nations. The Eisenhower administration was hostile to Aiken’s course as outlined in the U.S. ambassador’s audience with Taoiseach Eamon de Valera and Aiken in Dublin on 2 October. The record underlines the Irish concerns about accidental nuclear war due to the proximity of opposing U.S. and Soviet forces in central Europe.
