Dear Sir

I am the senior professor of Strategic Intelligence at the
Graduate School of Diplomacy of the University del Salvador,
Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I have been told that there is a <u>Civil War</u> School at your University. I am very interested in visiting this school in order to see the way it functions, and to find out whether some of your plans could be applied here.

I would appreciate greatly any suggestion as to how this visit could be made possible.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

We are now preparing copy for the 1966-67 edition of
the Law School Catalogue. I understand that you will be
giving the National Security Policy seminar with Professor
Leach. Enclosed is a description from last year's
Catalogue which you may or may not wish to revise. Would
you look it over and return it to me as soon as is
convenient.

Along the same lines, what preferences have you
for the scheduling of the seminar?

**National Security Policy.*** This seminar deals with strategy and policy-making for United States national security. Central theme of the seminar is the relationship of force and foreign policy. The seminar thus divides its attention between two main categories: (1) Policy-making and Organization, and (2) Military Strategy and Foreign Policy. Emphasis is placed upon both the substance of national security policy and the governmental process by which this policy is made. Under "Policy-making and Organization," the seminar is concerned with the following topics, among others: governmental institutions for integrating national policy, Department of Defense organization, the defense budgetary process, the role of Congress and the public in defense policy-making, and the role of intelligence in national decision making. Under "Military Strategy and Foreign Policy," the list of topics explored includes: Strategic Doctrine and Foreign Policy, NATO Policy and Arms Control. (Professor HENRY A. KISSINGER with Professor LEACH. 2 hours a week, plus 2 hours additional in alternate weeks.)

Dear Mr. Jervis:

Since you will be at the Center next year, I
wonder if you would be interested in leading a
section of my Defense Policy Seminar, a graduate
course which I understand to be in your principal
field of interest.

I am asking George Quester, who is handling
some of the administrative details for the Seminar,
to write you to give a more specific picture of
what conducting a section would entail.

This is just to let you know of my own intense
personal interest in having you join us.

Kind regards.

Dear Henry Kissinger:

Some years ago, you perhaps may recall, I took leave from New York University to spend two years at the National War College. Before that, and especially since, I had been able to persuade my Dean to let me introduce a full year graduate course on National Security Policy and Administration. There has been a moderate student response to this.

I know that you teach such a course at Harvard. I am also of the opinion that similar work is carried on at a number of other universities; for example, UCLA, Stanford, Ohio State, University of Pennsylvania, Chicago, Princeton and Columbia.

More recently I have been consulting with Frank Barnett whom you probably know from the National War College and from his organization, the National Strategy Information Center, on the fact of the above. That is, the moderate introduction at the graduate level of such national security courses.

We would appreciate your assistance in two ways: if you can add names of professors and institutes to the above list it would be helpful; secondly, if you have any syllabus which you use in your teaching, we would deeply appreciate receiving a copy of it. I have a Columbia University graduate student working with me on this. We expect to collect such syllabi as may be in existence, and do an in-house memorandum on what is being taught and where with respect to national security policy. Of course we will share our findings with you.

I hope the above doesn't put too much of a burden on you.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

For some time I have been studying as an Army reserve officer and instructor on the secondary and college levels the interrelationships of our foreign and military policies, especially in the context of Western Europe.

I noted with some interest, therefore, a listing in the latest annual report of the Center for International Affairs that you had published an article: "Domestic Structure and Foreign Policy" in the Spring, 1966, issue of *Daedalus*.

I should appreciate greatly your sending me a reprint of the article, if one is still available.

I should also appreciate receiving course outlines and reading lists for your seminars at the John F. Kennedy School of Government on National Security Policy and on Western European Studies.

Thank you for your courtesy in these matters.

OK to send?

Memorandum

To: Henry A. Kissinger
From: George H. Quester

1. Ralph J. Thomson (Curriculum Vitae attached) is looking for some part-time teaching here next year and would like to do a section of Gov. 259. Marshall Shulman recommends him, and you apparently have had some dealings with him yourself in the past. I told him the question of whether we would have sections again is not really settled. I take it there is no news on this issue yet?

2. For your chief course assistant in Gov. 180 let me recommend Graham Allison, who is filling that role for Mort Halperin in Gov. 182 this year and seems to be quite competent. I had him in my section of Gov. 259, and he seems quite bright, level-headed, and interested in defense matters. I'm not sure he is ready or anxious to do any spot-lecturing, but then again I'm not sure that he's not.
