1967.1.14 美国国务卿腊斯克对英国驻美大使谈台海问题
1967年1月13日晚英国驻美大使Sir Patrick Dean见到美国国务卿Dean Rusk,就问起美国对中国大陆(文革)动荡局势的看法。当天恰好发生国共两军在台湾海峡发生空战互有损失的事件(按:共军称“1967年1月13日,空24师70团飞行员胡寿根在漳州地区上空击落国民党空军F-104G飞机1架”),Rusk表示这起空战起因于国民党空军在紧贴大陆领海上空已持续数年的例行巡逻,不足以表明国民党政府的侵略性在增加,而且美方已经向国民党表明对文革的立场:美方无意直接介入并且认为国民党方面任何武力介入的企图都是在违反1954年安保条约。

CHINA.
I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE USEFUL IF WHEN I SAW MR RUSK LAST NIGHT, I COULD GET A CLEAR STATEMENT OF U.S. POLICY AT THIS MOMENT,IN RELATION TO THE PRESENT UPHEAVALS IN CHINA. HE BEGAN BY REFERRING TO THE AIR INCIDENT OVER THE TAIWAN STRAITS THAT DAY, WHEN BOTH THE K.M.T. AND THE COMMUNISTS ARE REPORTED TO HAVE SUFFERED LOSSES. HE SAID HOWEVER THAT THE INCIDENT SEEMED TO HAVE ARISEN AS A RESULT OF ONE OF THE ROUTINE PATROL FLIGHTS WHICH THE K.M.T. HAVE BEEN DOING FOR SOME YEARS (THIS IS TRUE)JUST OUTSIDE COMMUNIST TERRITORIAL WATERS, BUT PARALLEL FOR SOME MILES TO THE MAINLAND COAST LINE. THERE WAS THEREFORE NOTHING IN THIS WHICH CONSTITUTED EVIDENCE THAT THE K.M.T. WERE BECOMING AGGRESSIVE.
2. RUSK THEN REFERRED TO TALKS BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND THE K.M.T. GOVERNMENTS: ABOUT THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION IN CHINA AND SAID THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAD MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF TRYING TO PLAY A DIRECT HAND THEMSELVES AND THAT THEY WOULD REGARD ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO BY THE K.M.T.GOVERNMENT IN TERMS OF ARMED INTERVENTION AS A BREACH OF THE 1954 SECURITY AGREEMENT.
