Dear General Yarborough:

I am sorry not to have answered your letter
of July 3 before this, but I have been out of my
office most of the last two months and have just
begun to catch up with my correspondence.

I appreciate your kind invitation to lecture
on September 24 and would be very interested to
come. The problem is that I do not have any
special competence in the subject you mention and
also that I may be out of the country at that
time. I wonder whether I could take the liberty
of writing to you again in two weeks to let you
know whether I can come. (Of course, I would
fully understand if you were not able to wait
that long for an answer.)

Dear General Yarborough:

I am terribly sorry to tell you, after
careful consideration of my schedule, that I will
be unable to lecture at the Warfare School on
September 24th. I will either be out of the country
on that date, or just returning from a trip, and I
am afraid it will not be possible.

I hope there will be another opportunity
sometime in the future, and appreciate your courtesy
in waiting this long for an answer.

All good wishes.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The Commandant of the US Army War College has informed
me that he has invited you to participate in the Tenth Annual
National Strategy Seminar to be held at Carlisle Barracks during

Your previous participation in the affairs of the College has
been most gratifying, and I know that you are familiar with the
general purpose and the aims of the annual Seminar. Your pres-
ence on this occasion would contribute significantly to its success.

I hope that you will be able to assist the College by attend-
ing the forthcoming Seminar. A warm welcome awaits you there.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The United States Army Special Warfare School, a part of the United States Army John F. Kennedy Center for Special Warfare, presents a Senior Officer Counterinsurgency and Special Warfare Orientation Course to selected senior officers of the armed services and civilians of governmental agencies, as well as civilian representatives of defense contractors. The purpose of this course is to provide such individuals with a general knowledge of the latest doctrine and concepts of special warfare with emphasis on counterinsurgency operations, para-military support forces, special forces operations, and psychological operations.

As an integral part of this course of instruction we invite guest speakers who speak on areas in which they are well qualified. Our next course is scheduled to be held during the period 2 through 6 November 1964. We have had various speakers in the past from the Department of State speak on the subject "Insurgency: Cause and Deterrent." While all of the gentlemen who have addressed us from the Department of State have done an outstanding job, we would like to invite you to address our next class on this subject in order to provide us with the benefit of your extensive background.

Tentatively, the presentation which I am asking you to make is scheduled to be given on Monday, 2 November 1964, between the hours of 0930-1100. I am inclosing a scope which we use for this presentation; however, this is not intended to limit you in any respect.

Assuming your schedule permits you to accept this invitation, we will want to know your mode of travel, your time and place of arrival, training aid requirements, and we also request a biographic resume. For resolution of problems that might arise in connection with these items, or for any problem pertaining to your visit, please get in touch with Lieutenant Colonel K. H. Bailey, Jr., of the Special

GUEST SPEAKER PRESENTATION

SUBJECT: "INSURGENCY: CAUSE AND DETERRENT" (8501)

SCOPE: This discussion deals with the role of Communism and Communist leaders in the development of insurgency movements since World War II. It analyzes the sociological, economic and political factors as well as other pressures, that cause people in affected areas of the Free World to support revolutions of a basically nationalistic character that are, in turn, threatened by Communist subversion.

This lecture outlines Free World efforts to counteract Communist subversion of legitimate revolutionary movements. It discusses the positive efforts of the United States, by means of economic, military and other assistance, to aid newly independent but weak countries to maintain their freedom. Emphasis is placed on counterinsurgency efforts abroad that are aimed at eliminating popular support for subversive guerrilla activities.

METHOD OF PRESENTATION: Lecture followed by a question and answer period. The lecture portion should last about fifty minutes, followed by a break. This will permit a fifty minute question period.

TRAINING AIDS: Tape recorder, 35-mm slide projector, 16mm film projector, overhead projector (Vu-graph), opaque projector, chalk board, magnetic board, black light board, and tack board are available if desired. Rear or front projection may be used. Lettering on Vu-graph transparencies should be 3/8 inch or larger.

RELATION TO OTHER INSTRUCTION: This is the first presentation of the course after the welcome and introduction by the Commandant. It sets the stage for subsequent instruction.

STRATEGIC SUBJECTS GUEST SPEAKER PROGRAM

**GENERAL BACKGROUND.** To accomplish the mission of preparing selected officers for their future development and progressive assignment to positions of higher responsibility, the U. S. Army Command and General Staff College is continuing its effort to provide students with an understanding of national strategy and world affairs. The direction of this effort is twofold. First, the curriculum includes instruction in the elements of national power, the development of national policy, and the study of significant world areas and problems. Second, the lecture program is primarily designed to complement and extend College instruction in strategic subjects.

**GUEST SPEAKER PROGRAM.** A number of prominent authorities are invited to discuss topics of special interest and importance, thereby providing the student body with a breadth and depth of knowledge from civilian and military experts in a specialized field. Normally, the presentation is divided into two parts:

**Formal address.** Customarily, the guest speaker delivers a formal address in Bell Auditorium during the first 50 minutes of his presentation. This part of the presentation should generally cover the scope indicated in the following pages.

**Question-and-Answer Period.** After a brief intermission, the guest speaker answers from the stage questions posed by members of the student audience. This period allows the speaker to elaborate on main points made in the formal address. Microphones are provided questioners so that they can be heard easily by the guest speaker and all persons in the audience.
