- During the summer of 1953, the South Korean Government continued to transfer its operations from Pusan to Seoul. With President Rhee and his ministers in Seoul, Ambassador Briggs found it expedient to move himself and part of the Embassy to Seoul. Telegrams from Briggs and his staff were therefore sent through Army channels directly to Washington.↩
