This study examines the development of the transitional government initiative promoted by U.S. Ambassador of Korea, Samuel S. Berger to reconsider the goals and role of the United States in early 1963. Berger’s goals during this period were not reducible to the removal of Kim Jong-pil. After the failure of the Democratic-Republican Party reorganization, Berger envisioned a political reorganization that would unite Park Chung-hee, Yun Bo-sun, and Heo Chung to rally support from the military. After the March 16 declaration, Berger believed that the entire South Korean military wanted to extend the military regime, and he pushed harder for a transitional government as a buffer. However, Berger did not anticipate the antagonism between military and civilian politicians and the changing position of the UN Forces Commander, Guy S. Meloy Jr., and as a result, the transitional government was only an ideal solution.
