The meeting between the two men went on for six hours instead of the two scheduled, and Agnew is known to have had to consult the Western White House after it was over. He told newsmen traveling with him that even though "it might take five years or more." all G.I.s in South Korea would be withdrawn when ROK forces were modernized.

At the sight of the newsmen, who were dressed in Army uniforms, Tojo immediately told his wife to flee out the back door. After exhaling another Hai, she did. Then Tojo, perhaps to save his honor, tried to commit suicide with a revolver but he only managed to wound himself.
