Structure and Scope of the newly-founded
Ford Institute in Vienna.

The "Institute of Advanced Studies and Scientific Research", which was initiated and sponsored by the Ford Foundation, has been recently established in Vienna. The Board of Trustees was constituted on Thursday, January 31, 1963. It has named Professor Kamitz, the Governor of the Austrian National Bank, for President, Dr. Kreisky, Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, for Vice-President and Dr. Rosenzweig, member of the Austrian Supreme Court, for Secretary. Director of the Institute is Professor Slawtscho Sagoroff, Head of the Statistical Institute of the University of Vienna.

The Institute is at the same time a school and a research laboratory, the effort being concentrated mainly on teaching. Research activities will be carried out within the frame of the Institute, i.e. other scientific institutes or individual scientists will not be commissioned to do research. In particular cases, however, groups for joint research may be temporarily formed with other institutes. Thus, the Institute is interested in cooperation with the Law- and Social Science Departments of the University of Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck, as well as with the Hochschule für Welthandel (School for Business Administration, Vienna), the Sozialwissenschaftliche Hochschule in Linz (College of the Social Sciences), and the Österreichisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (Austrian Institute for Economic Research).

The activities of the Institute will at first be confined to the social sciences. An expansion of the scope of work should, however, not be excluded. That is why the social sciences are not mentioned in the name of the Institute. Whether an expansion will be considered, when and in which direction it will take place, remains at this time an open question.

As far as teaching is concerned, there will be three courses of study: a sociological, and economic and a political course. These courses of study should simply come out of the program of the lectures and seminars; there will be no corresponding departments or deans. Each course of study will comprise 5 to 7 major and about 6 minor disciplines. In each course, as minor disciplines will be considered 3 major disciplines of the other two courses and 3 formal disciplines (such as mathematics, statistics and logic). In this manner, the three courses of study will become complementary. A course of study is supposed to be completed within 2 years.

The three groups of scientific disciplines which we have included in our program are differently old and for this reason they are in different stages of development. Economics, which is the oldest discipline, is sufficiently mature for mathematical treatment. For sociology it is important that the concepts and methods of empirical sociology as well as sociometry will be

- 2 -

propagated. Political science, until now best known as theory and history of political parties, is the youngest discipline of the three. Here the maintask will be to build a system of concepts and a methodology. But just because everything is new, it would be possible to develop a "politometry" more rapidly (such as mathematical models for voters 'decisions and behaviour).

The teaching body will be small and will be composed of about 10 to 12 professors. As a rule, all will be guest lecturers and will be appointed for one semester or one year. The language will be German and in some cases - as an exception - English. In the first place there will be guest professors from Europe and America mainly, but the other continents will also be represented. In this way we believe to serve best the motto "Peace through Collaboration".

It is the immediate goal of the Institute to recruit a new generation of scientists for Austria. All assistants will therefore be Austrian. There will be twice as many assistants as professors, in teaching (helping the professors in their work) and in research. All assistants will be required to publish books on subjects of their respective fields. The Institute will admit only a limited number of students about 50 to 60. The students for the most part, will be given scholarships.Prerequisites for study at the Institute is a complete academic course of study at an university or institute of technology; i.e. only postgraduates are admitted as students. The Institute itself will not give any academic degrees. As the students will stand in close relationships to assistants and professors, one might call them "scholars".

The "scholars" should here receive a qualified knowledge which will enable them to become assistants at the Institute or at some University, or to occupy responsible position in the administration of the state or in international organisations such as the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, UNESCO, OECD, FAD, etc. In his function as Director of the Institute, Professor Sagoroff will be assisted by Professor Kozlik as associate director, who for the time being is lecturing at the Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Canada.

Both teaching and research activities of the Institute will begin on October 1, 1963. The first year will be devoted solely to the training of the assistants. The City of Vienna has offered to modernize an old school in the sixth district as Headquarters of the Institute. It is estimated that the Institute will be operating in its own building by September 1, 1964, at the latest. Until that time the offices of the Institute for Statistics at the University of Vienna will be at its disposal.

COPY OF CIRCULAR LETTER

Dear Colleague:

In cooperation with a group of outstanding leaders in Austria, The Ford Foundation is prepared to support the establishment in Vienna of an "Institute for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences". In connection with this project, we have been asked by Shepard Stone, Director of the International Affairs Program of the Ford Foundation, to serve as consultants.

The new Institute will concentrate primarily on cultural and social sciences, industrial relations and economics, the empirical study of politics and modern sociology and social psychology. Some of these subjects are not now being taught in Austria. They would be handled so as to shed light on the realistic problems of industrial, educational and political development, with emphasis on, though not limited to, Austria and Eastern Europe.

The Institute would be a public corporation under the direction of a governing body. This body would consist primarily, though not exclusively, of Austrians prominent in public life and interested in education. The Board would outline the general policies of the Institute. Executive work would be carried out by an Austrian Director, chosen for executive, administrative, and scholarly achievement and leadership, who would maintain continuous contact with Austrian authorities and with Americans and Europeans serving on the Board.

The faculty would consist in part of highly qualified ex-Austrian professors returning from American and West European countries. These faculty members would be expected to stay for one or more years. In addition, the faculty would include non-Austrians and Austrians within or outside the universities who are especially equipped for the program of the Institute.

Some of the students would be regular doctoral candidates who would be given cfredit at their universities for courses taken and work done at the Institute. Others would take all their studies at the Institute or would do post-doctoral work for which a certificate would be provided. Viennese and Austrian agencies would be urged to reserve a number of jobs for the graduates, so that talented Austrians would not be drained off to other countries.

The educational structure would put special emphasis on the role of assistants as a link between faculty and students. In Austria experience has shown that assistantships are the most efficient device to develop a new generation of young scholars. Some of the foreign professors will work more successfully if they bring with them one or two of their former students. In other cases a young Austrian might join a professor who comes from abroad, to be trained for a specific assignment at the Vienna Institute.

- 2 -

The proposed Institute, it is believed, will attract scholars and intellectuals from many parts of the world, in particular from Eastern Europe.

The problem of relations with the University of Vienna has been discussed with prospective members of the Board and with the forward-thinking professors at the University of Vienna. There is agreement that the Institute must be established independently of the University. It is contemplated, however, that within the next five or ten years close and cordial relations will develop with the University, and for this purpose the following steps would be desirable: (1) appointment of the post-doctoral Institute students to University posts; and (2) appointment of distinguished University professors to the various advisory committees of the Institute.

The Austrian authorities would be expected to provide the necessary building and administrative services. To give the Institute a solid base for the first four or five years, the Ford Foundation would provide funds for the compensation and travel of distinguished professors and assistants, for fellowships to be made available inside Austria and to non-Austrians, including East and Central European scholars and students, and for the initial planning and organizational work.

To build up an outstanding faculty it is necessary to have a list of eligible appointees. This notice is being circulated for the purpose of establishing such a list. The list should contain men and women of established reputation as well as younger persons who may not yet be internationally known but who have given evidence of exceptional leadership and special competence in matters relative to the general program. At the Institute, the language of instruction should be German, although in special cases lectures in other languages would not be excluded. It is hoped that this faculty will be recruited from many countries. Suggested names to be placed on the list should be sent to the office of Professor Dr. Frederic Burkhardt, American Council of Learned Societies, 346 E 46th street, New York, N.Y.

The salaries for the faculty will correspond to the level traditional in the country from where the visiting professors come. Additional provisions will be made to cover traveling expenses and losses which might occur in accepting the invitation.

Do not hesitate to nominate yourself in case you are interested in joining the Vienna Institute for a year or two. The final appointments, of course, will be made by the trustees of the Institute in Vienna. In case you yourself are interested, we would appreciate a brief statement as to the topics for teaching and research you would consider and the time when you would be available.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

thank you very much for your letter of November 30, 1964. I am delighted to hear that you are willing to consider our invitation to speak at our Institute in May 1965.

I presume you will be at the Ford Institute during the whole month of May. My institute has made it a tradition to have its public lectures, if possible, on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. In view of the fact that you will be in Vienna for a longer period of time I have no doubt that we can agree on a mutually acceptable date.

As concerns the title of the address we should like you to give at our Institute I am afraid we shall have to take into account the attitude of the Austrian public which doesn't follow too closely the events, e.g., concerning the MLF. What I would personally consider very important is the realization that foreign policy in this nuclear age can't be separated from military and strategic, i.e. security considerations. Therefore, I should feel inclined to ask you whether you think you could work out a lecture showing the interaction between "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy". It would not have to be so much concerned with the current details which interest the expert but rather with a general survey of all the problems involved. I should think that the title of such a lecture could well employ the title of the book you wrote years ago for the Council on Foreign Relations. Would you have any objections against our using "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy" as the title for your address ? We could, of course, as well call it something like "Foreign Policy in the Nuclear Age".

I wonder whether I have made myself sufficiently clear. Our audience would not be a group of experts - as indeed there are very few such audiences - but an audience composed of people who take a strong interest in foreign affairs but have had little opportunity to get acquainted with these new problems.

Perhaps you could indicate to me how long you plan to be in Vienna so that we agree on a suitable date. If there are any further questions I should be happy to answer them. Let me seize this opportunity to tell you how happy we shall be to have you deliver a lecture at our Institute which, incidentally, is organized along the same lines as the Council on Foreign Relations.

I am writing to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of January 15th.

He is expected to return to the

I will bring your letter to his attention
at that time.

Dear Dr. Sagoroff:

Your letter of January 15th arrived when I was
out of the country. I therefore only now have an opportunity
to answer it.

I was on the verge of writing to you to tell you that
with very great regret I must again postpone my lectures at
your Institute. My schedule this year has been unusually
hectic and the examination period at Harvard this year is
later than is usually the case. All of this makes it
impossible for me to leave Harvard in May as I had hoped.

On the other hand, next year I plan to be on sabbatical
which means that I could leave Harvard much more easily.
In fact, if we could agree now on May 1966 I can see nothing
that could possibly interfere.

Should we proceed on this basis?

Kind regards.

I am very pleased to see you again. It is always a great honor to me to be able to talk to you. However, I must tell you that I cannot accept your offer of a meeting. My research has taken me all over the world, and I have never been to your country. Therefore, I cannot meet you at your convenience. But I would love to talk to you by telephone. Can we arrange this? I am sure we can find a solution that will be acceptable to both of us.

Dear Prof. Kissinger:

VIENNA

Two days ago in a planning conference with Prof. Sagoroff of the above Institute, he showed me your latest letter, unfortunately postponing your coming to the Institute. I then decided to write you. Today a letter arrived from a former student of mine, Dr. Zapotaczky, asking for a recommendation. Please, find it enclosed. I hope something can be done for this gifted young man.

May I come back, though, also to the Institute.
The Diplomatic Academy of Austria, of which I happen to be the present director, is cooperating with the Institute. Thus we share some of the lectures and seminars. I was particularly eager to have my students attend your lecture at the Institute. Now that you can not come presently, I do hope that this information might strengthen your resolve to come in the future. You'll find the young academicians a rather capable and alert audience, very interested in what you might have to say. In preparation they have been reading some of your works. For your information, the Academy had been closed by the Nazis and has just been reopened. Its students are finished M.A. candidates or continental doctorate holders. They are fluent in French, English and German. The course runs for two years. We have every hope of living up to the reputation of the former "Konsularakademie". I think you would also like the atmosphere and attitude I have been introducing into the Academy---quite modern and not too continental. In case your work should bring you to Europe even for only a few days, we would love to invite you, put you up in our modern guest tract and give you a honorarium.

I have mentioned all this in some detail, because you may indeed now be more ready to stop by in Vienna and because I would kindly ask you to pass this information on to others, Americans or otherwise, whose discipline or practical experience would make them ideally suited for a lecture, brief seminar or longer course at the Academy. At the moment I have both students and faculty from East and West. You know well from your own work on the Congress of Vienna, which role Vienna could play. In a small way, I am trying to have our Academy play an analogous role.

I have mentioned all this, however, also for another reason. As I read Zapotaczky's letter, an idea occurred to me which I like to submit to you for what it is worth. I was born in Vienna and emigrated to the US in 1938. After military service, graduate work at Michigan and Columbia (I am a public law and government Ph.D. from Columbia), I taught for 15 years in the States. My best position has been chairmanship of the department of history and political science at Iona College. In 1962 I was called to head a new "Ost-institut" at Salzburg's "Internationales Forschungszentrum". From there I was called to the above Institute and just before Christmas 1964 appointed director of the newly opened Diplomatic Academy. My research work has been lately on the "Politics of Neutrality", my teaching on comparative government and on international relations. Political science is practically non-existing in Austria. In order to retool, so to speak, and get into contact again with American scholars (I am also a US citizen), I would like to teach in some summer school or participate at some seminar in the States. I think I have some things to offer which would enrich a summer school program. When this idea came to mind some weeks ago, I realized that it might easily be too late. None-

Dear Prof. Kissinger :

Dr. Klaus Zapotoczky, presently at "Deutsche Land-
jugendakademie Klausenhof" in Westf., Germany, has asked me to write a
letter in recommendation and support of his application with you to participate
at the International Seminar at Harvard.

Dr. Zapotoczky has been known to me since my first
appearance in Austria, a number of lectures during 1960. Since then he has
attended additional lectures and seminars of mine. I have come to respect
his integrity and genuine interest in social science very much. His training
has been a good one. He is, though Austrian, quite fluent now in French and
English. His written work, as well as his lectures and pro-seminars in sociology
are quite good.

Not only would he profit greatly from a seminar
of the kind you help conduct at Harvard, but he could contribute to it and
would certainly be able to reflect his experiences in his own work, presently
in West-Germany.

I can only recommend Dr. Zapotoczky.

In going over our program for the next years, I find to my pleasure that you have agreed to come here for some time. I would like to ask you whether your intentions are still good and whether your plans will allow you to come.

Looking over the correspondence, I find that the organization and purpose of the Institute has not been explained to you in sufficient detail. We are at present making a great effort to set up a rather rigorous program of instruction. The students, about 50, of which perhaps 15 are in political science, have their Austrian Doctor's Degree or equivalent, but they lack a good acquaintance with the more rigorous empirical political science developments which are going on in the United States. We are not involved in discussions of broad political questions, rather we are more concerned with the teaching of techniques and methods of analysis in all 3 fields, which means also in economics and sociology.

You had indicated that you would want to speak on American foreign policy. This topic is therefore not quite suited for our curriculum and I, therefore, would like to inquire whether you might have anything up your sleeve which would fit more closely into our program. I know that you could do it very well, but I would like to learn about your readiness to do so. Please drop me a note to that effect. The precise arrangements will have to be made depending on the month you would be with us and the program then under way. And this would be a matter for our political science department to discuss with you.

I hope you are well. I regret very much having missed you at Sandia.

Kindest personal regards.

Dear Oskar:

Thank you for your letter of September 27th which brought the welcome news that you are now the Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies. This increased my eagerness to come for a few weeks.

I do not know what you have in mind when you speak about techniques and methods of analysis. I would give a series of lectures on various theoretical approaches to foreign policy illustrating them with some case histories since I am writing a book on that subject. If that would fit into your program, I would be glad to consider it.

I might come for a few weeks starting in the middle of May although June would be much better.

When I was discussing coming last year, the Diplomatic Academy asked me to give some lectures and offered to put me up in a "modern guest tract!" Do you think the same arrangement would be possible again?

favour to let me know sometime in advance about your

at your convenience.

I am looking forward to hearing from you
and to seeing you soon in this country. With best
wishes,

In principle I would very much like to come to Vienna. Before I fix a definite date, however, I would appreciate it very much if you could tell me the minimum amount of time that would be useful from your point of view. (Two weeks would be easier for me than three weeks and three weeks easier than a month.)

Could you also let me know whether the financial arrangements discussed with Professor Sagoroff still hold true. Perhaps you would summarize them again.

If you could let me know as soon as possible, I will let you have my final word by return mail.

With best regards.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Thank you very much for your letter of March 28th, addressed
to Mrs. Pawloff. With regard to our programme, we envisage for
you two two-hour lectures per week and one two-hour seminar, i.e.,
for the two week period, four two-hour lectures and two two-hour
seminars. We agreed on the following subject for the lectures:
Theoretical Approaches to Foreign Policy. The seminars will serve
the purpose of more informal discussions on the problems and ideas
generating from the lectures.

Furthermore, the Institute would very much like to avail itself
of your presence in Vienna to organise a special lecture open to the
interested public, such as the members of the Gesellschaft für
Aussenpolitik etc. If this is agreeable to you I should very much
appreciate your suggestions for the topic of such a public lecture.

With kind regards,

Dear Mr. Kolb:

Thank you for your letter of April 5th.

I would suggest that you organize the seminars on two days in the middle of the week so that I may have a number of days in a row to myself. I would suggest Tuesday and Wednesday or Wednesday and Thursday. Failing that perhaps Monday and Wednesday could be arranged. I am assuming that I can lecture in English--though I will be able to handle questions in German.

I would also be willing to give a public lecture perhaps during the second week when my German should be better.

As for the topic, how would "Directions of American Foreign Policy" be? But I am willing to talk about any other aspect of American foreign policy--for example, Vietnam. What do you suggest?

Best regards.

Dear Mr. Kolb:

Thank you for your letter. I will let you know about
my travel plans as soon as they are definite.

I am an avid opera fan. Is there any possibility
of getting me some tickets for some of the evenings
that I am in Vienna? (At my expense, of course.)
I would appreciate it very much.

Finally, I would like to use my stay in Vienna to
get to know some of the people concerned with political
and military problems. Would you be able to arrange
some appointments at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(perhaps with the Foreign Minister) and the Ministry
of Defense for some informal talks? My particular
interests are East-West relations and the evolution
of Central Europe.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Concerning your request for Opera tickets, would you kindly
let us know if you want one or two tickets per performance. We
have tentatively booked two tickets for the following performances:

Staatsoper:

15th June, Don Giovanni - Mozart
16th " " Aida - Verdi
17th " " Salome - Richard Strauss
18th " " Margarethe (Faust) - Gounod -
19th " " Rosenkavalier

There will of course be no obligation to attend all and we can
cancel the ones which do not interest you.

The programme from the 20th of June onwards is not yet offi-
cially published, but since the Vienna Festival ends on the 20th
of June, we think it will be much easier to get tickets for the
Opera from the 20th onwards.

With best wishes,

Dear Mrs. Pawloff:

Thank you for your nice letter.

It was most kind of you to arrange for the
opera tickets. I will not be able to go on June 17th
and 18th, but I plan to attend the others.

I wonder also whether you could let me
have some suggestions as to the most useful focus
for the four seminars I am giving at your Institute.

With kind regards.
