Summary:US officials tried to negotiate with the North Koreans for the release of the captured naval survey ship Pueblo. The US denied Korean charges that she was spying. But the Koreans broadcast confessions. One was in the form of a letter to President Johnson: 'We consider this letter to be vital to our future.
