A. SUMMARIES OF REPRESENTATIVE DOCUMENTS CONTAINED IN SECTIONS B THROUGH J

In 1961, Vinocour (Seymour Murray Vinocour, also known as Joseph
Vinocour), PR consultant to the Korean Embassy in Washington, was
contacted by Ambassador Chung 11 Kwon (then-Ambassador to the U.S.;
later Prime Minister; currently Speaker of the National Assembly)
who advised him of the ROKG's interest in establishing APACL-FC.
Chung arranged an ROKG-sponsored trip to Korea to enable Vinocour
to confer with authorities of APACL-FC. Vinocour also discussed
the project with Kim Jong Pil (Kim Chong Pil, founder of the KCIA;
then-Chairman of the ruling Democratic Republican Party). As a
result of these discussions Vinocour submitted a prospectus for
U.S. fundraising for APACL-FC, a copy of which was given to the
ROK Embassy in Washington, D.C. The trip never took place because
Vinocour terminated his formal association with the ROKG in Sep-
tember 1961.
