the major findings, with page references to the main body of the text where
further detsils may be found.
Part B: Review of Korean-American Relations.--Describes briefly the history
of Korean-American relations from 1945 on, as background to the events of the
1970's which led to the investigation. Certain of the findings of the investigation
are incorporated in the review so that the reader may see their historic context.
Part C: Investigative Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations. -- Details

the major subjects specified in the investigation's mandate. The final two sections

separate mention.
