C-3) Confidential DECLASSIFIED Authority NND [illegible] Confidential XXIV CORPS G-2 P/R #850 Korean Government. The Government which you will form will certainly wish to have the approval of the United Nations of the world and such a committee could be most helpful to both the UN and the Korean Assembly in carrying out the remaining provisions of the UN Resolution of November 14, 1947. Third, that the Assembly avoid precipitant action in the adoption of any constitution providing a form of government which may not be suitable to Korean needs and psychology. The constitution provides the basic foundation of the State and its provisions should be the subject of most careful and serious considerations. I wish you and all other elected representatives of the Korean people every success. I assure you that as the senior United States representative in Korea I will continue to do everything I can to assist the Korean people in attaining their life-long desire -- namely, an independent Korean nation, united under its own sovereign government." 8. OTHER National Assembly Oath of Office The following oath of office was administered to the members of the Korean National Assembly on 31 May 1948: "We, members of the National Assembly, upon our honor pledge to prepare a constitution, establish a national government, and unite South and North Korea. We pledge to build an everlasting foundation for our country. We pledge to exert our efforts to improve Korea's standard of living, advance goodwill among nations and work in the general interests of world peace. On this 31st day of May, in the 4281st year of our national existence we vow to Almighty God, to our patriotic ancestors, and to our thirty million brothers and sisters to carry out these pledges to the best of our ability."
