Dear Mr. Kunze:

Thank you for your letter of July 14. I always enjoy hearing from old colleagues and regret that once again it is not going to be possible to get together.

Current plans are that the President will be in California from the middle of August until the end of the first week in September and I will be with him there.

I hope your visit to Washington will be an enjoyable one and that you will continue to stay in touch with me.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

I am following my last book "Reading Character From
Handwriting" with another featuring people who have made their mark in life,
and I would indeed appreciate your help in this venture.

My intention is to give a brief biography of the
person concerned, then follow it with a comprehensive analysis of his
personality from his handwriting.

I have chosen a short list of prominent people in
the world, and have taken the liberty of including your name on it.

All I need from you is two full pages of your
handwriting. I shall, of course, let you see and approve the analysis I make
from this writing before anything gets into print.

I appreciate you lead a full and busy life and this
request of mine may seem a trifle inconsequential, but I would be truly
grateful if you could spare five minutes to send me a two-page sample of
your writing.

PERSONAL COMMUNICATION TO DR. HENRY A. KISSINGER

The people of America and the people of the world yearn that a "Churchill" will emerge on January 20th . . . a great leader who has strategic vision and sees a way out of crisis.

In addition to commanding the Battle of Britain, Churchill mobilized his greatest talents toward creating new history according to his own pattern. In addition to crisis in Vietnam, the new President must mobilize his greatest talents toward creating new history, for a new historic era. There is no possible equation for Vietnam or Paris which can regain the national security of the United States as there was no possible conduct of the Battle of Britain which could have averted the defeat of England.

As General Marshal electrified the people of Europe and America with a historic commitment of American power to the future safety and wellbeing of the people of Europe . . . President Nixon can electrify world populations on January 20 by a historic commitment of future American research and development and testing power to giant test models of the next generation global safety systems, for the long range safety and wellbeing of the people of all nations.

As President Kennedy refocused public attention away from the Cuban Invasion fiasco by a historic commitment to "get man to the moon in this decade" . . .

President Nixon can refocus the attention of the whole world away from the impossible embarrassment of Vietnam, by a historic commitment of American people and power to the pioneering of the next generation systems to prevent ALL "Vietnams" and bring an end to ALL war between nations.

RECEIVED

FEB 21 1969

There are hundreds of powerful safe initiatives President Nixon can launch unilaterally . . . . in addition to essential defense effort, as the Manhattan Project was in addition to prosecuting World War II . . . . and without in any way weakening the national security. Clarification of these safe initiatives has been our preoccupation for many years. Many are projected in NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE.

We have gone so far as to draft a speech with which President of the United States could change the course of history. January 20th could be the turning point. We enclose this draft which you may use freely.

For six years McGeorge Bundy and Walt Rostow have killed all serious discussion of these safe initiatives, even though some rather key citizens have attempted to get them through to President Kennedy and President Johnson. We have worked against rejection and hostility from power communities which find escalating wellbeing from escalating national danger. We have invited our limited personal resources in these strategic studies, to the point of exhaustion, because the government was neglecting this work. Again, use the material freely.

DRAFT OF A PROPOSED SPEECH

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

After introductory remarks ...

I am addressing mankind tonight. I will use every means at my command to have this message brought home to every man, woman and child in every country on earth. What I have to say may be a matter of life or death for every human being. I hope they listen carefully. This is a message of hope.

In 1945 when the United Nations was chartered in San Francisco many people believed that war had ended and mankind had entered a new era of peace. This was a tragic delusion. History's endless parade of war after war has continued. The potential horror of war has grown worse, not better. We are living in a new historic age of anxiety.

In 1945, that same year, the first atomic bomb was exploded. This signalled the dawn of an era of exploding research and development and escalating progress in science and technology, in hundreds or thousands of new and different fields. Civilization has been projected into the Nuclear Age, and then into the Space Age, and now into even newer technological ages.

As a result, the strategic power under the command of the Head of State of a modern major nation is beyond easy vision or description. There hardly are words to explain. But I can tell you this: - It used to be thought that only God could command the power to destroy mankind in the twinkling of an eye. But today the leaders of several nations command the power to launch the war that could annihilate world civilizations.

Yet the great rivers of new knowledge coming from the research and development centers cannot be dammed up within the boundaries of any one nation. Within ten years perhaps thirty nations will command this power of death for mankind. By that time the weapons of total annihilation will be so cheap that criminal elements may obtain this power to hold mankind for ransom. Breakthroughs in chemical and biological and nuclear warfare will magnify and compound the forces of destruction.

This is a new historic time of dread. In this new age no nation ever again will find positive national security and political independence by use of its power to destroy

human life. In this new age an attempt to destroy an enemy can destroy mankind. All nations have moved into a common chamber of danger. The world is like a room filled with gas, in which men who strike matches endanger the lives of everyone in the room.

WE MUST CREATE NEW HISTORY

We must create new history. It no longer is safe to merely relive old history.

From all we can learn from old history there will always be an impulse toward war and aggression between nations. The challenge of the future is to remove the danger from that impulse ... to prevent this impulse of hostility from expressing itself in war ... to make war impossible between nations.

There will always be war and aggression between nations until there is created a global safety authority of some kind, with the strength and the authority to maintain the common good of national security and political independence for all nations.

Historians and political scientists find no precedent for such a Global Safety Authority. But before 1940 there was no precedent for atomic bombs ... and before recent times there was no precedent for many of the miracles of modern medical science.

We live in an age that breaks precedents. We need not be enslaved by historical precedents of war and catastrophe.

Scientists and engineers tell us that we have within reach the means to produce the food, clothing, housing, warmth, health, education and welfare for more than the six billion human beings predicted as world population by the year 2000. But nations are not producing to meet these human needs, because today the world spends nearly $200 billion a year on an escalating arms race, producing anti-human forces of destruction.

Nations have learned the secrets of the Power of Death for mankind because they have invested their human and natural resources in massive mobilizations

for the specific purpose of learning these secrets.

I say to every man, woman and child in every nation, that the time has now come for a massive mobilization of human and natural resources for the purpose of learning the secrets of the power of safety and well-being for the people of all nations. If we believe that the intention of creation is toward greater life for the family of mankind, then let us begin to direct the forward march of science and technology toward such a greater purpose. I believe in the future of mankind.

The Heads of State of more than one hundred and twenty sovereign nations on earth now have it within their power to begin to create a Global Safety Authority, within a revised and more effective United Nations. The function of this Authority will be to guard the national security and political independence of all nations, freeing the productivity of nations to meet the human needs of their citizens.

I hold before the world the long range vision of a stronger United Nations. At the base of this future United Nations will be a Global Safety Authority. The purpose of this Authority will be to maintain positive control over all power of destruction. It will have power to maintain public inventory of all war material and personnel. It will have authority to act to stop unauthorized war production. It will have power to maintain public inventory of all movement toward mobilization for war. It will have authority to stop such mobilization. It will have power and authority to prevent violation of one nation's borders by the forces of any other nation, large or small. It will have authority to divert any inter-nation conflict to proper courts of international conflict law.

I hold before the world the long range vision of a stronger United Nations capable of guarding the national security and political independence of all nations, and in which no nation will have to give up any freedom except the freedom to destroy other people, and its own people, in war.

I hold before the world the long range vision of a stronger United Nations in which man will maintain dominion over the forces of destruction. Instead of living in ever-increasing fear of the anti-human force of advancing science and technology, man's increasing knowledge will be redirected to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, educate the illiterate, and free the patriotic people of every nation to work toward their own national goal in their own national way, free from the dread of war or domination by any foreign power.

## THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS

Will it ever be possible to trust the national security and political independence of the United States to a stronger United Nations with monopoly control over global armed forces management? Will it ever be possible for all nations to trust their national security and political independence to such a remodeled United Nations? Will the American people ever find reason to believe that this global United Nations power will not

come under the control of communists, or any other group with intentions to dominate the world? Will the people of all other countries ever find reason to believe that this global United Nations power will not come under the control of American political power?

I do not know the answer to these questions. I am proposing that a long period of serious research and exploration begin today, in search for the task of answers to these questions of the future safety and well-being of mankind.

To the rising generation of young men and women in every nation we declare open for exploration and pioneering a new generation of creativity and invention to dwarf any era in past history.

This will be the most complex and difficult problem governments ever have faced and determined to master. Making the earth safe from war will be a far more challenging task than making outer space safe for human transit. I hereby make a personal commitment, and a commitment of my administration, to the task of providing world leadership toward the long range goal of developing the global safety systems, and the new political checks and balances and restraints required to transform the present United Nations into a more effective instrument of safety and prosperity for all nations.

We propose an initial ten-year program to develop and operate a demonstration model, or prototype experiment of a Global Safety Authority, so that all governments can begin to learn the real problems of defending their citizens from enemy threat or attack in the new historic age of total danger.

I say, let the national security leadership of all nations begin thinking and experimenting beyond the strategy of defense, and beyond the strategy of deterrence, to explore a new future strategy of prevention more appropriate to the age of global danger. Let us create new history more in keeping with the danger man has created.

## WHAT WE CAN DO

We propose a long range program of development and experiment and testing to find the ways that such a protective war prevention system can be made to work.

Black and terrifying, the escalating danger of global war today looms above mankind like a thunderstorm of death. But beyond that dark horror, I see a white light of hope. I believe that man can create global safety systems in time.

I propose four giant strides forward on the road to the permanent end of war between nations. I propose four giant strides forward on the road to lasting peace and prosperity. I propose four giant strides forward in the creation of a demonstration model of a Global Safety Authority. These will be four giant strides forward toward a stronger, more effective, and greater United Nations of the future. One day, when and if our efforts succeed, the present United Nations will evolve into a world security organization capable of guarding the

national security and political independence of every
nation.

I am preparing to issue directives to the appropriate
departments of my government, and preparing to seek
the full support of the Congress and of the American
people, for four large scale development projects: -

First Stride: All-Nation Space Stations, I propose construction of a new series of reconnaissance satellites. The use of these surveillance space stations will be made available to all nations. All nations will be invited to develop surveillance systems for experimental installation in these orbiting laboratories. All nations will be given full access to all information inputs and outputs from these global surveillance systems, that all national defense establishments, all regional defense establishments, and the United Nations Military Staff Committee can gain protracted experience in working together to test the effectiveness, and to establish the future requirements for a Global Safety Authority intelligence capability. Through these satellites we may begin to find answers to the question: - Can a future United Nations Safety Force be made dependable and effective?

Second Stride: All-Nation War Alarm System. I propose the construction of an advanced global command and control headquarters, near the United Nations Headquarters, with duplicate synchronous display centers in the capitals of all cooperating nations, and in the headquarters of all regional defense organizations. This center will be open to the public of all nations and to the governments of all nations. The large illuminated display walls in this prototype global command center will be connected by direct communications lines to the national command center in the Pentagon in Washington. The people of the world can begin to see the global surveillance and intelligence capabilities the United States already possesses, to be able to exert command and control today over military forces spred across more than half the earth. No information which would be detrimental to the security of the United States will be passed to these public exhibitions, but the world can begin to see the emerging reality of global command and control systems to bring armed forces management for the world eventually to the new United Nations Global Safety Authority. Every other nation will be invited to connect its national command center to this world display. No other nation will be expected to divulge information to jeopardize its own security. But all nations will gain practical experience in the interface problems of the successful operation of a future war safety control system of world dimension. The people of all nations will begin to see the open experiments which may one day lead to the development of the systems of security which will mean no more war for mankind.

Third Stride: War Prevention Conferences. I propose a continuing series of multinational War Prevention Conferences. Military and political leaders of all participating nations can begin to hammer out the requirements and force structures for the future Global Safety Authority. They can analyse and experiment with unprecedented new political checks and balances which will be required to make certain that this all-nation safety

constabulary cannot become a tyrant over the minds of
men, or the governments of independent nations, and that
it cannot be captured by any one political power clique
to be used to conquer the world. These War Prevention
Conferences will be held on many levels, outside of
official channels of the United Nations. They will be
held with individual nations, or with groups of individual
nations, or with regional defense organizations. Free
discussion will be encouraged from every source where
new ideas may emerge to help solve this problem which
has been insoluable throughout the ages. Can a Global
Safety Authority be made effective, and safe to the point
that the people of all nations will trust their national
safety to this mobilization for the prevention of war?
The world will be waiting for answers to this question.

Fourth Stride: All-Nation War Prevention Games.
I propose a continuing series of multinational war prevention games. Where war games are used to develop military proficiency in waging war, these war prevention games will be utilized to develop and test the increasing proficiency in preventing war throughout the world in the new historic era. A purpose of these games will be to allow the public and press of all nations to see that nations are making serious efforts to solve the problem of war, and what progress is being made toward this great and grave objective.

I repeat that all nations are invited to cooperate in
these four giant strides forward toward peace and
prosperity for all nations.

But the United States offers to lead in this ten year demonstration model experiment no matter what nation or nations hold back at this point We expect nations to be suspicious of our motives. We invite nations to work with us to satisfy these suspicions. We will earn their confidence.

We will use every means at our command to see that the people of all nations are kept fully informed as to the progress being made toward the global protective systems which one day will bring peace and prosperity to all nations.

No nation will be expected to weaken its present defense force or posture during these experiments. No patriotic people will be asked to give up their pride in their own native land, or swear allegiance to a massive single world government. National governments once again will concentrate on the prosperity of their citizens, instead of on preparations to kill and to be killed in war with their neighbors. There will be a common defense force for all.

TOWARD DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWAL

Man now has gained the knowledge and skill to feed
the hungry of the world, to heal the diseased of the world,
to educate the illiterate of the world, to provide housing
for those with inadequate shelter, if only he can learn
how to bring the plague of war under positive control.

These four giant strides forward toward a more
effective United Nations will allow the people of the
world to hope once again. There will be hope that his-

tory's endless parade of wars eventually will be brought
under control. There will be hope that the world's
resources today committed to production of anti-human
power of death, can be redirected toward production of
pro-human goods and services. There will be hope that
increasing nuclear power will be controlled and harnessed
to peaceful purposes, instead of to the chain-reaction of
terror. There will be hope for peace in the space age
instead of dread of war.

I believe that man can gain dominion over the man-
made dangers of modern technology, and that man does
not have to live in fear of the new products of science
and technology.

I believe that every people on earth can find security
and prosperity in a revised and strengthened United Na-
tions, in time. I believe man now has the inventiveness
and creativity to begin to transform the United Nations
into an effective world security organization, bringing
safe prosperity within reach of all nations.

Each nation can work out its own independent path
toward its own independent vision of a Great Society.
This can become a Great Planet. I hope that every man,
woman and child around the world who hears this mes-
sage will tell his neighbors, and his friends, that the
time now has come to take giant strides forward toward
peace and prosperity for all nations.

Note: The above presentation has been developed through consultation and advice from several hundred leaders in technical, military, economic, political, legal, public relations and moral fields.

Citizens Committee for Global Safety presents:

NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE

an opportunity for the United States to redirect technological and military power toward the prevention of war and the cooperation of nations in permanent world peace.

(Summary)

Rapidly advancing global communications systems, global air traffic control systems, global space monitoring systems, global undersea exploration systems, global surveillance systems, global intelligence gathering and evaluation systems, global economic forecasting systems, and near-global military command and control systems, in the future can be integrated into a global safety system. Such a future public safety authority would maintain public inventor of all potentially dangerous military material and activity, and would enforce war prevention discipline as a city fire department enforces fire-prevention discipline. It would have the power to put out any fires of war which started.

The United States Congress can authorize the President to create a new Council on Global Safety, reporting directly to the President, to conduct and foster research, development and testing on an unprecedented scale pioneering the prototype global safety systems required for a reconstituted United Nations, or new world security organization, capable of making the earth safe from war between nations.

All nations will be invited to cooperate in a ten year development of experimental global war prevention systems to determine when and if public confidence in such unprecedented protective systems will be warranted. The experimental program will continue with United States leadership, no matter what nations hold back at present.

No nation will be asked to turn over its defense responsibility to the experimental global safety authority during the prototype development period. The national defense of all nations will be strengthened at each stage of development, not weakened as in premature disarmament or staged disarmament.

Future generations in all nations will be capable of redirecting the world's resources toward production of food, clothing, housing, health, education and other pro-human goods and services, and away from the production of weapons for killing human beings.

There are many safe initiatives the United States can launch without further delay to provide world leadership toward a new era of safety and well being for the people of all nations. The following document suggests for pro and con discussion the possibility of many such safe initiatives.

STATEMENT OF INTENTION

The Citizens Committee for Global Safety, in concert
with other groups, is committed to the realization
that the time has come for the United States to establish
new practical initiatives toward lasting world peace.

We believe that the United States, without jeopardizing
national security, can launch safe initiatives now, toward
development of prototypes of war elimination, war
prevention, and global safety systems.

To this end we plan to do everything possible to
generate public discussion of concepts for global safety
and to bring to the attention of leadership in Government
the opportunities residing in American technological
and military power, to be used for global security,
the just distribution of the world's material wealth,
and true security for mankind.

# NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE

## I. TOWARD A STRATEGY OF WAR PREVENTION

In the midst of war, the United States can launch large scale *safe initiatives* leading mankind toward a future United Nations capable of guarding the national security and political independence of all nations. The present United Nations can not do this.

For the first time in history, advancing systems technologies and management skills make it feasible to expand armed forces management to global dimensions for a future United Nations Safety Authority. In 1945 when the United Nations was chartered this seemed unattainable.

No new scientific breakthroughs will be required. Rapidly advancing global communications systems, global air traffic control systems, global space traffic monitoring systems, global undersea exploration systems, global surveillance systems, global intelligence gathering and evaluation systems, global economic forecasting systems, global meteorological forecasting systems, and near-global military command and control systems in the future can be integrated into a global safety system. Such a future public safety authority would maintain public inventory of all potentially dangerous military materiel and activity, and would enforce war-prevention discipline as a city fire department enforces fire-prevention discipline. It would have the power required to put out any fires of war which started.

There are no valid military reasons why the U.S. should not assume world leadership developing, testing and demonstrating *prototype* all-nation defense systems, along with unprecedented checks, balances and controls for a worldwide armed forces management system. Many years of such prototype experimentation will be required before public confidence in such a war safety control system is warranted. No nation would be asked to

submit its national defense responsibilities to the projected U.N. Safety Authority during the experimental years, as no one is being asked to buy tickets on the supersonic transport planes during the prototype development years.

This project would be *in addition to* essential defense effort. Each stage of development will increase national defense posture, not weaken it as in premature disarmament. A new U.S. strategic war aim will be the future national security and political independence of the United States, in a multinational safety system guarding the national security and political independence of all nations. The people of all nations will respond to major power leadership toward the future global security system which would give promise of an eventual end to war.

There is no need to first 'negotiate' with the enemy before the American people assume this leadership. All nations will be invited to cooperate in the prototype experiments, but pioneering will go forward with U.S. initiatives no matter what nations hold back at present. Other nations will suspect that this is a maneuver by U.S. financial interests to dominate the wealth of the world, and this suspicion will be dissolved only as the American people can prove that it is unfounded.

In addition to a *strategy of defense*, and in addition to a *strategy of deterrence*, the American people have the power to pioneer a *strategy of war prevention* for the future safety and well-being of mankind.

A generation may be required to pioneer global safety power as a generation was required to pioneer nuclear power or space power. A first ten year commitment can now be made to take significant strides toward *global safety*. Many large scale *safe initiatives* can be announced to the world without delay.

## II. MOBILIZATION FOR NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE

Council on Global Safety (COGS). The United States Congress can authorize the President to create a new Council on Global Safety (COGS). While the National Security Council would continue its responsibilities for day-to-day and medium range matters relating to the national defense, the Council on Global Safety would conduct and foster research, development and planning on an unprecedented scale to crystalize bold safe initiatives the United States can take to assume world leadership toward the long range goal of a future United Nations, or new world security organization, capable of making the world safe from war between nations. The Council will bring together representatives of the military-technological-economic-legal-public opinion-political-moral sectors of the American society.

For the President, the Council on Global Safety will direct U.S. participation in Multinational War Prevention Games; War Prevention Systems Conferences; Experimental Global Command and Control Centers and will crystalize and monitor safe initiatives the U.S. can launch and sustain toward the goal of the safety and wellbeing of all nations.

Through techniques of computerized simulation, and through pragmatic testing of global safety systems, the Council will clarify the new disciplines and regulations required for future political checks, balances and controls for a remodeled United Nations, or new world security organization. Specific policy options will be presented to the public bearing upon the crucial questions of the future safety and wellbeing of the American people, and the future safety and wellbeing of all nations, such as: -

1. Enforceable disciplines to assure that a global command & control of the world's military power will not, itself, become a tyrant over governments of independent nations, except

in the limited area of the freedom of citizens to be killed in war with other nations.

2. Enforceable disciplines required that no nation can possess a veto in the field of the prevention of violence and aggression between nations, while at the same time possessing freedom to have its own domestic law and to change its domestic law on all other matters.

3. New legal instrumentalities required to resolve inter-nation conflict in a new era in which violence has been outlawed in inter-nation affairs.

4. New restraints on inter-nation relations which will permit each nation to change its domestic form of government by any means up to and including revolution, without the participation or involvement of any foreign force including the United Nations.

5. Essential flexibility in global safety systems so that nations may remain free voluntarily to form into larger political and economic structures without the use of military force.

6. The character and magnitude of restraints upon individual freedom which would be the price of global safety systems to assure that no nation would need fear threat of war or oppression from any foreign power, including a "world government" so that the public of the world may make choices between (a) this type of global security system and (b) the search for security through endless escalation of the forces of annihilation and extinction.

The American people have nothing to lose by a ten year commitment to pioneer and demonstrate the global safety systems of the future ... a new compassionate purpose for expanding American power.

### III. FOUR STRIDES TOWARD GLOBAL SAFETY

**First Stride: All-Nation Reconnaissance Satel-
lites.** All nations will be invited to develop sur-
veillance systems for experimental installation in
a continuing series of orbiting laboratories. All
nations will have free access to information out-
puts so that all national defense establishments,
all regional defense establishments and the United
Nations Military Staff Committee can gain experi-
ence in this prototype of future United Nations
Safety Authority intelligence capability. The objec-
tive will be public inventory of all potentially
dangerous military materiel or activity. Answers
will be sought to the question: - Can a future U.N.
Safety Authority warrant public confidence?

**Second Stride: Experimental U.N. Command and Control System using Unclassified Information.**
Advanced global command and control centers will be constructed near the United Nations Headquarters, in the capitals of cooperating nations and in the headquarters of regional defense organizations. The centers will be open to the public of all nations. The large illuminated display walls will be linked directly to the national command centers of all cooperating nations or regional organizations. No nation will be expected to divulge information detrimental to its own national security. All nations will gain experience in the interface problems of a future war safety control system of world dimension. The public of the world will watch the progress in global surveillance, detection, inspection and intelligence capabilities, with a view toward the future maintenance of armed forces management for the prevention of war between nations. Experimental violence-prevention services will be mobilized for global community safety, as fire department services have been mobilized for the safety of a city. Answers will be sought to the question: - Can a future global command and control system warrant public confidence?

**Third Stride: War Prevention Systems Conferences.** In a continuing series of multi-national war prevention conferences military and political leaders of all cooperating nations can begin to hammer out force structures and requirements for a future U.N. Safety Authority. They can explore and experiment with unprecedented new political checks and balances and controls required to make certain that an all-nation military command and control authority cannot become tyrant over governments of independent nations, and cannot be captured by any one political power clique for world domination. These continuing War Prevention Systems Conferences will be held on many independent levels, outside of official United Nations channels and also within such channels. They will be held

with individual independent nations and with regional
defense organizations. Free discussion and ex-
ploration will be encouraged in universities, in
professional associations, as well as in the
specialized and public press. Answers will be
sought to the keystone question of mankind's
future: - Can dependable checks, balances and
controls be devised in a world security organiza-
tion so that no nation will be threatened by or lose
its independence to any foreign power, or to any
"world government"?

**Fourth Stride: Continuing Multinational War Prevention Games.** While war games are utilized to test and improve proficiency in waging war, this continuing series of multinational war prevention games will be utilized to test and improve the proficiency of the prototype United Nations Safety Authority. All available techniques will be used from computerized models of potential war scenarios to large scale experiments in subversive mobilization for war between nations. Every available means of public communication will be utilized to inform and educate the public of the world in relation to the successes and failures of these war prevention games, so the people of the world will be fully aware of the progress toward the future day when nations no longer fear war from other nations. Answers will be sought to the life-and-death question facing world civilization: - Can the world be made safe from war between nations -- or is man incapable of solving this problem?

Excerpt from press conference announcing
the formation of the Citizens Committee
for Global Safety

Question: General Shoup, is this just another pacifist move for peace at any price?

GENERAL DAVID M. SHOUP, retired
Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps: - If I
thought that was the aim of this organization
I wouldn't be here. Generations through
the last four thousand years have hoped
that some day it would be possible to
avoid war. These people in this organ-
ization are attempting to generate additional
thought that eventually we can avoid wars
between nations by having some kind of
international organization that has the power
to stop such wars. If there is one chance
in a million that this could come to pass,
there is good reason for effort in this
direction.

IV. MILITARY SAFE INITIATIVES

**The Global Safety Systems Command.** The United States Government can create a new military command . . . the U.S. Global Safety Systems Command . . . reporting to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This Command will be responsible for the military aspects of U.S. development and pragmatic testing of future all-nation defense systems, and for U.S. participation in the continuing series of Multinational War Prevention Games. The mission of the U.S. Global Safety Systems Command will include, but not be limited to: -

1. Pioneering global intelligence capabilities and requirements for a future U.N. Safety Authority, while guarding present U.S. national security.

2. Pioneering global war control detection, inspection, and prevention systems, and pragmatic testing of such capabilities, while guarding present U.S. national security.

3. Pioneering and establishing global Aerospace Force requirements, global Marine Force requirements, global Land Force requirements, global Intelligence requirements, global Command requirements for a future United Nations Safety Authority, while guarding present U.S. national security.

4. Maintaining and supporting advanced scientific and engineering research and development centers in all fields relating to global safety systems to be cognizant of, and ahead of, future breakthroughs to new military weapons concepts, making certain that mankind continues to receive the pro-human benefits from continued military pioneering of technology for war on war itself.

5. Maintaining and supporting advance planning capabilities to assure flexibility of future global safety systems to meet changing needs for protection of all nations from threats of war from foreign powers.

6. Cooperating with higher strategic and political prototype development activities and maintaining authorized liaison with the military branch of each cooperating nation, regional defense organization, or United Nations.

7. Developing additional capabilities of war prevention personnel so that, when not engaged in active violence prevention efforts, troops will be available for disaster relief, and to help developing nations in the fields of education, training, public works, agriculture, transportation, communications, health, sanitation, mapping, highway and bridge construction, irrigation systems and general development.

8. Sponsoring and encouraging large scale advance research, development, and planning in war prevention weapons, tactics and technologies; into the maintenance of the integrity of national borders; and into other global military safety capabilities: - in universities, in research centers, in professional societies, in specialized publications, and in military academies.

This will be a long range American commitment to lead the world in the techniques for the future safety and wellbeing of all nations, as for the past generation the United States has led the world in the techniques for the destruction of mankind.

MODERN TECHNIQUES FOR CREATING NEW REALITIES

Man has learned the technique for creating new realities. The procedure essentially is the same whether it has been used to create a new fibre to reduce the silk worm to unemployment, or to place the first satellite in orbit. The steps proceed roughly in this order:

1. *The Conceptual Study.* Experts in all fields having a possible contribution are brought together. Each functions only within his own field of special competence. Each maintains his professional integrity within his own discipline. Each reverses the scholarly tradition of looking backward, and makes a conscious effort to project his discipline into the future. From the combined future projection of all the experts, an operational goal or objective is clarified. This objective (subject to constant review and improvement) becomes the magnet drawing all future progress toward an operational conclusion.

2. *State-of-the-Art Inventory.* Each expert, still functioning within his own professional discipline, prepares an inventory of the requirements dictated by the objective to determine where present state-of-the-art capabilities are adequate to meet such requirements, and where the capabilities do not yet exist. The areas of inadequacy become the specific objectives of increased research and development investment and activity. Such activity is pursued until the state-of-the-art reaches a point at which the overall objective is attainable.

3. *Simulation Studies.* Through operations research and computer simulation the completed objective is anticipated, bringing out new facets of the problem, familiarizing the system managers with the complexities, gaining familiarity with operational relationships among the subsystems.

4. *Demonstration Models or Prototypes.* When research and development progress reaches the point where the operational objective is feasible, demonstration models or prototypes are constructed. From these realworld experiments rearrangements and improvements are made in the operational objective.

5. *Public Acceptance Preparation.* When demonstration models or prototypes become operational the new reality enters the arena of public reaction. Conditioning of public reaction to the new product or new reality gets under way through public relations channels. The new product is "sold" by professional marketing methods.

6. *Public Acceptance of New Reality.* When the new reality becomes operational there is a continuing interface between the operation and the public reaction, each having an impact upon the other.

Aeronautical engineering progressed through these stages. It was first necessary to develop transport airplanes through the demonstration model and operational stages, before the public could *begin* to generate acceptance or demand for air transportation.

It would have been absurd to hold off these development efforts, waiting for the public to first decide it wanted to perform the unbelievable act of flying through the air, as no man ever had done.

Thus it is *equally* absurd to hold off the development of the demonstration model or prototype operation of global safety systems, waiting for the public and the political leaders of all 120 sovereign nations to first decide to perform the unbelievable act of bringing an end to the phenomenon of war between nations, which knows no historical precedent.

PUBLIC STATEMENT BY THE LATE PROF. KENT ROBERTS GREENFIELD,

Leading authority in the history of United States military
strategy, Chief Historian of the U.S.Army (1946-58) and
author of the book *American Strategy in World War II*:

A Reconsideration, (John Hopkins Press, 1963).

The following was a review and evaluation of the book
*War Safety Control Report*, published by War Control Planners, Inc.
(1963)

1. What you propose offers a possible escape from negatives and a reign of terror. "Defense" and disarmament are negative, barren, and bleak objectives. As you point out, the defense that we have constructed, however necessary as a deterrent, does not provide us with security and it contains a built-in nightmare. Disarmament, if successful, would require the surrender of all other national aims, including security. Nobody who thinks can, I believe, take it seriously as an honestly intended aim of strategy.

2. Here, as I see them, are grounds for hope that your program can be effected: —

a. It makes logical sense.

b. It makes technical sense — as far as it is possible for outsiders to see.

c. Notwithstanding its collossal cost in resources and effort it might well be supported by public revulsion against the anxiety and horror with which our present course weighs us down.

d. It marshals the military-industrial complex to move, on a grander scale, in the direction in which it is now moving, to refine a system of detection in support of our declared strategy.

e. It rests on the assumption that the best persuader is a realistic demonstration of practicability. Your analogy with the development of confidence in aviation seems to me to be historically sound and persuasive.

You are quite right, as far as I can see, that under our system the key to success is a Presidential decision. There is everything to be gained by a vigorous debate if it results in indications that he would have powerful public support, should he choose to make it. On the other hand, if history means anything, he will not make it (and should not) unless he is convinced that its success is technologically feasible.

The risk which your program involves is that its success might speed up the advent of Orwell's Big Brotherhood of 1984. This is a fate that, if anticipated, might be controlled and averted.

I am grateful for the stimulation of my thinking that you have given me.

Professor Charles Townes, Chairman
Presidential Task Force on U.S. Space Goals
University of California
Berkeley, California 94720

cc: Dr. Henry A. Kissinger

Dear Professor Townes:

Per your telephone suggestion, and in an effort to contribute to the discussions of the Task Force on U.S. Space Goals, I send along fifteen copies of some documents which may be pertinent, plus my personal comments based on a twenty year study and search ( along with my wife) for more effective U.S. Goals for advancing technology as a whole. I write as a member of the American Institute of Astronautics and Aeronautics, and one who has studied the impact of aerospace power upon civilization since graduation from the U.S. Army Air Corps flying school at Kelly Field, as a pilot, in 1929.

Like a giant pendulum in history, progress in aerospace technology since the Wright Brothers first flight, repeatedly has swung back and forth from goals of increasing military powers of destruction, in one direction, to the pro-human goals of air transportation, aerial mapping, crop dusting, communications satellites and other public interest accomplishments, in the opposite direction. The generation-long swing of military technology to the present extreme of the power to destroy world civilization in the twinkling of an eye, now has stored up the potential energy for a historic swing in the opposite direction toward the future safety and wellbeing of the people of all nations. The hangup at the moment is the vacuum of national goals and purpose, and in an uninformed American public. If future U.S. Space Goals are to earn sustained large scale public support they will have to serve the public interest in new ways which the public will understand, and want.

**Dawn of a New Era**
The relentless forward march of technology has reached a new plateau. A new generation of creativity and development and expansion is within reach for the advanced systems professions and industries to dwarf the past challenges to pioneer air power, or nuclear power, of space power. This new challenge is suggested in the first paragraph of the summary of the enclosed document NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE, released by the military, business, professional and religious leaders constituting the Citizens Committee for Global Safety. This document suggests for discussion purposes a hundred large scale safe initiatives the U.S. could launch without further delay, to assume world leadership pioneering the next generation war safety control systems . . . the systems to prevent war between all nations . . . the systems to create new rituals for inter-nation conflict to supplant the present primitive rites of human sacrifice called "war". Even in the midst of escalating dangers of global war there are historic opportunities to launch unilateral American strategic initiatives toward lasting world peace. The people of all nations are ready to support the nation which dares to set the goal of lasting world peace, and to start the pendulum swing away

from self-generating global crisis, and preparations for war.

Closeup of a Single Strategic Safe Initiative

The enclosed excerpt from President-elect Nixon's October 26,1968 speech makes a public commitment to the goal of a global surveillance satellite system jointly serving the United States and the Soviet Union. On the opposite side of the page is our article from May 1968 Computers and Automation. This shows how a large scale unilateral initiative can be launched by the United States without further delay.

* All nations could be invited to cooperate in a ten year experimental model of a future United Nations Safety Authority global command & control center, linked to a continuing series of global surveillance satellites. There will be no need to first "negotiate" with an enemy to obtain his permission for U.S. world leadership toward this new goal. The experiment can go forward with U.S. leadership no matter what nations hold back at present.

* No risk to the national security will be involved, because no nation will be asked to turn over its defense to the prototype global war safety control system, as no one is asked to buy tickets on the prototype supersonic transport plane during the many years of development, and testing to determine when, and if, public confidence in such an unprecedented system is warranted. Military and technical and political experts of all cooperating nations will be accumulating pragmatic experience for the eventual future operation of a worldwide peace-keeping agency.

* This ten year series of very large scale experiments will be **IN ADDITION TO** continuing essential defense effort, as the Manhattan Project was a massive mobilization of human and natural resources for a new goal, **IN ADDITION TO** prosecuting World War II. These will be new and additional challenges for the space systems professionals, above their present defense tasks. Instead of reductions in national investment in space pioneering, there will be great increases.

* The public and press will be admitted to the dramatic command & control center with its information display walls and visualization of the world's military activities. Identical replica command & control centers may be opened in the capital of each cooperating nation, and be open to the public. As the **people** of all nations begin to see the day coming when a global war prevention system could be made safe and dependable, and that their own nation could find greater security from an all-nation protective system, than from an openended escalation of powers to exterminate mankind, the human dynamics of the instinct of the public in each nation will generate the political will to draw national governments into the future common defense system. As the **people** of all nations begin to see that the $200,000,000,000, now spent on the openended global arms race each year, can be re-invested for the production of food, clothing, housing, health, education and welfare for citizens of all nations, those national governments striving for world power, rather than for national security for its people, may find difficulty governing those people.

* The analog may be Air Traffic Control discipline committed to the safety of ALL airplanes in a cloud, as man's creativity in the coming generation strives to develop the comparable enforceable safety disciplines for the safety of ALL nations.

Where it will be difficult to sustain public support for space development to provide scientists with better laboratories for stargazing, or to develop space platforms to hold the Doomsday Weapon over the heads of mankind, the **people** of all nations can be expected to provide sustained support for the development of space systems for the maintenance of lasting world peace, and the national security of all nations.

**The Impact of Technology upon Civilization**

It is impossible for engineers to project future goals for the impact of space technology, or all technology, upon civilization if they are kept in ignorance of the impact of technology upon past, and present, civilizations. We are accustomed to thinking of the Soviet civilization as one in which engineers are ordered to keep their curiosity within their limited technical boundaries, and to leave all important goal-setting to their masters, the silent power structure. Our last ten year experience has been quite shocking as we worked with engineers from defense industries, and editors of defense-oriented publications, and military planners who have been afraid to step outside of their limited technical stalls, to look at the past, present, and future impact of their work upon civilization, right here in the United States. The future safety of mankind has become a forbidden subject among the men of power and men of war whom one must be careful not to offend.

Advancing technology can cause a historic era to collapse. A historic era collapses when basic military protective systems collapse.

* **The collapse of the feudal era.** When advancing technology produced gunpowder-in-cannon, rendering the castle indefensible, the entire feudal era began to collapse. Civilization had reached a dead-end, where all available options led to disaster. If the Lord of a castle was a "dove" and chose weakness in the face of an oncoming powerful enemy, he and his people disappeared from future history. If the Lord of a castle was a "hawk" and chose to mobilize his army to protect the system, he shot more and more holes in more and more castles (as did all of the competing commanders) until the ruins of castles still remain as tombstones to an era which is past and dead.

The entire political and economic and loyalty complex within the castle was ruptured the day the serfs inside the castle look out at the daylight through the hole just put there by an enemy cannoneer. This was a military collapse, and no chorus of "political scientists" could put humpty-dumpty together again.

After about three hundred years of bloody war, man made a rather obvious step forward. He learned how to utilize the gunpowder-in-cannon . . . the same technology which caused his past era to collapse . . . to create an unprecedented new security system . . . the nation. Gunpowder-in-cannon became the protective base for the new collective security system in which many castles banded together for mutual safety. Even today, in the mythology we call diplomacy, governments negotiate treaties describing "sovereignty" as going three miles out to sea . . . a precise engineering calculation in the day when enemy cannon could shoot two miles.

* **The collapse of the modern era.** We are in the midst of another collapse. Advancing technology today has produced the catastrophic weapons and global delivery systems which have rendered the nation indefensible. The entire era of one-nation defense forces is collapsing on all sides, as the era of one-castle defense forces collapsed. Civilization has reached another dead-end, where all available options lead to disaster. If the next President of the United States gives in to the "doves" and chooses weakness in the face of the powerful oncoming communist enemy, the American people and American civilization will disappear from effective future history. The communist enemy does have a long range goal of world domination. It has tactical plans to utilize any degree of violence indicated at any given situation. If the next President of the United States gives in to the "hawks" and chooses to RE-escalate the war, more and more nations like Vietnam will be destroyed and their ruins dedicated as tombstones to the dead era when men sought protection from within a nation possessing the powers of destruction of other nations.

4

The political and economic and loyalty complex within the nation is rupturing in the U.S., for example, as we sit on the explosives of a race crisis; urban crisis; poverty crisis; youth crisis; university crisis; political crisis; economic crisis; monetary crisis; violence crisis; moral crisis and pollution crisis. The young men of today, educated in a technical society, know instinctively what their elders do not yet know. . . that the national security never can be regained by waging the kind of obsolete war into which the youth of today are being drafted. There is a hole in the castle wall that the rising generation can see through. We are deep into a military collapse, and sinking deeper with each year's escalating costs of obsolescing strategies. No chorus of "political scientists" or "diplomats" can put humpty-dumpty together again.

We can not take the traditional three hundred years of modern war, before looking up at the obvious breakthrough or discontinuity into a new era. The challenge is to learn to utilize the most advanced systems technologies in all fields of outerspace, airspace, ocean surface, ocean depths and beneath the seabeds, and command & control and transportation and communications, to create an unprecedented new global security system, capable of maintaining a climate of safety for all inter-nation relations. All nations will be able to move forward at greatest possible speed, in safety, in a global safety system, as all airplanes move forward in a cloud under the enforceable safety disciplines of Air Traffic Control.

The generation now in college and high school could be released, in all nations, for the historic generation of creativity, finding the solutions to the forbidding problems involved. These all can be safe initiatives, without jeopardizing the national security, as projected in NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE.

The pioneering can start tomorrow, with U.S. unilateral initiative, with a great sense of urgency and emergency, to pioneer the new dimension security systems, and demonstrate them to the public of the world, before world civilization comes crashing down in chaos and devastation.

Scholars in all the universities who look backwards into dead history for their reassurance, have tended to become irrelevant to the needs of the rising generation already projected into the new era of war and devastation. The old myths and legends have become dangerous. Space Goals based on dangerous myths are dangerous.

### The Myth of the Good Space Projects (Civilian) and the Bad Space Projects (Military)

The Kremlin knows that all U.S. space investment is aimed at the goal of strategic superiority, no matter how many civilian scientists or telescopes are placed on board.

The White House knows that all Soviet space investment is aimed at the identical goal of strategic superiority. The American myth of Good (civilian) and Bad (military) space efforts has been deception for the purpose of engineering American public opinion, and not to fool the Kremlin. A Good (civilian) space program can progress for years, until one day, in the dark, a hydrogen warhead is placed in the nose before launch. Then, in an instant, it would have become a long time military surprise maneuver.

American space progress is a threat to all other nations, but in the modern era of sophistication, spheres of influence and powers of economic or political empire are no longer crude threats to kill. (Soviet space progress similarly is a threat to all other nations, but for simplicity here we speak of only U.S. threat). With the space projects already under way in the United States, in the next ten years it will be possible for American military-political-economic power strategists to take an inventory of all agricultural crops in all nations, plus an analysis of chemical and moisture quantities of the soil to make prediction of future crops in all nations for 90 days or more in advance. Such inventories will be possible once a week. American strategists will be able to take inventory of all cattle grazing, in all nations, once a week, again with chemical and moisture analyses of grazing crop futures. They will be able to

5

trace the movement and intensity of disease affecting crops and/or cattle, again
making market predictions possible. . .and the ability to corner world markets.
Natural resources below the surface of the earth in many cases will be detected by the
American strategists, perhaps before the local Government of the nation is aware of
its own resources . . . again making possible the American dominion over profitable
resources. The largest schools of fish can be spotted in the oceans of the world, and
American fishing ships directed to them by radio, to corner the fish markets of the
world. All nations can be mapped in three-dimensional topographic maps for military
purposes, or for economic development planning, at will, by the American interests,
thereby gaining massive advantage for the eventual domination of the resources and the
wealth of the world, by private foreign economic empires protected by the American
global strategic power. Forest management inventories can be maintained for all
nations, in Washington or New York, thereby gaining advantage in the world lumber markets.
Inventory of all surface military installations and activity, within all nations,
can be kept up to date by the coming satellites which will detect objects down
to the dimension of two feet, on the earth's surface. A synchronous satellite can
be placed in permanent position over Moscow, to keep track of all movements in and out
of the Kremlin . . . or this can be done for any other, or every other national capital.
Or the synchronous satellite sitting directly over the Kremlin year in and year out,
could contain a hydrogen bomb capable of disintegrating the city upon command from
Washington. Any surveillance or earth resources satellite can be connected "live" to all
home television sets in the United States to give a total invasion of the privacy of
all other nations. The movement of all ships of all nations on all waters can be
plotted at all times on the wall maps of the American strategists. Global meteorological
synoptic reports and forecasting can be operated from Washington, which will be of
greater strategic value as the technology of controlling the weather progresses.
Synchronous satellites can remain stationary over India, or over Europe, or any other
large area . . . making it possible to mbeam television or radio communications direct
into the homes of citizens without bothering to ask permission of their national
government. Or American communications satellites will transmit the messages of
local nations to their own citizens, but with the U.S. holding veto rights on all
communications, by cutting off the relay circuits.

These are but a few of the present American space capabilities which already are
in existence, or are in the development stages. **And you are asked to outline U.S.
Space Goals far beyond these! ! !** This is not to mention the question of clarifying
U.S. Goals in Undersea Technology, where the untold wealth and resources of the
oceans will become available in the coming decade, to whatever supranational power
can maintain "sovereignty" over these resources which dwarf all known wealth in the
world today.

The threat-cloud which covers the people of the world today is NOT the immediate
danger that one nation or the other will "push the button" to end civilization in
modern catastrophic war . . . although each year as the catastrophic weapons become
cheaper, more and more and more nations will command this power to hold world
civilization hostage . . . and the weapons in another ten years or twenty may become
readily available to the Mafia or other underworld powers which national governments
have not been able to control.

## The Three Goals Up Ahead

Projecting U.S. Space Goals can not be done in a vacuum any longer, unrelated to the
sollopse of the historic era we have known, and the birth of a new historic era
we already have been thrust into, in ignorance.

For clarity I will speak only of Space Goals for a moment, although the same general
projection applies to the U.S. goals for all advancing technology, management skill, and
accumulated knowledge.

6

For the first time in history it is becoming possible to envision and develop global command & control systems which will expand armed forces management to full global limits, and exert management control over all potentially dangerous military hardware or activity on earth. This can be designed to control physical danger, and not to interfere in the minds of men or the behavior of people unrelated to war, or threat of war. Because it is becoming possible to create such a system it is only a matter of time before such a global military management system will come into being. When this does occur, there will be "peace". No nation will be permitted to produce or possess military power capable of threatening war on another nation, or threatening the global management authority for military power. All nations will find security at a small fraction of the present cost of the openended arms race. Resources can be re-invested for other purposes. The remaining *unanswered* question is threefold: -

I. Will the global command & control authority in turn be controlled by supranational communist powers, making communist satellites of all nations ? The *people* of all nations will be in a state of continuous rebellion, held down by a global police-state force.

II. Will the global command & control authority in turn be controlled by supranational financial powers, making capitalist satellites of all nations ? The *people* of all nations will be in a state of continuous rebellion, held down by a global police-state force.

III. Will the global command & control authority in turn be controlled by unprecedented checks and balances and controls for a reconstituted United Nations, or new world security organization, capable of guarding the national security and political independence of all nations in a way to deserve the support of the people of all nations and made *rule-proof* to the point where no military, or political, of economic power community can "conquer" the world organization to gain its own dominion over the resources and wealth of the world?

## The Off-the-Record War Aim

The supranational communist war aim is unambiguous. It is option I above.

For ten years we have been attempting to find out what the United States war aim is. We have been unsuccessful, so far.

There are men of dominant power in the U.S. whose foreign investments and motivations lead them instinctively, and perhaps unconsciously, to support all moves which tend to lead toward option II above.

Although there are hundreds of *safe initiatives* the U.S. could take to probe and pioneer in the direction of option III above, we have found that this is a forbidden subject in the silent power community of the military-industrial-academic-financial power structure. This is the power structure where men find personal or institutional wellbeing from escalating national danger, or the openended global arms race. They keep *alive* the phantom myth that the U.S. can take no bold world leadership initiative toward lasting world peace, until after "negotiating" with the communist enemy, and obtaining his permission. This means that the tiny steps which are taken all fit into the long range goals of the communist global strategists maneuvering toward world domination.

The *safe initiatives* discussed in this letter and in the enclosed documents can be unleashed without further delay and without jeopardizing the national security. They will be prototype and experimental systems.

7

It is hoped that out of the conclusions of the Task Force on U.S. Space Goals may come a full pro and con discussion by every space systems engineer, and every engineering student, and engineering faculty member, and engineering society, and by the entire public to determine whether U.S. Space Goals are to be directed toward option II or option III above.

## CONCLUSION: The Impulse toward National Suicide

Each time when the imperative of national security dictates that the U.S. launch a creative thrust to pioneer unprecedented new strategic concepts and systems, some men of power drive the nation close to suicide. The military commanders of the obsolescing weapons and concepts, and the suppliers and others whose careers are linked to the weapons systems of the past tend to fight AGAINST the new concepts upon which the national security depends, as they form an automatic, and perhaps unconscious, vested interest in the past. The infantry vested interests fought AGAINST airpower. . . . cavalry vested interests fought AGAINST tanks. . . . battleship vested interests fought AGAINST carriers. . . . bomber vested interests fought AGAINST missiles. . . . and today's massive vested interests in the openended global arms race already capable of rupturing and exterminating world civilization fight AGAINST the large scale development and testing of next generation global war safety control systems upon which the future security of the United States, and the future safety and wellbeing of mankind may depend.

The United States, the most powerful nation in history, can (1) defend itself and its allies against aggression anywhere in the world, and IN ADDITION (2) assume world leadership pioneering the test model or prototype stages of the future military-technical-political global safety systems. The U.S. today has a decisive lead in the strategic element. . . . the large teams of advanced systems professionals at all levels. They already have broken with past history to make the breakthrough into the "impossible" nuclear power, and into the "impossible" space power. They now are ready to be mobilized for the generation-long breakthrough into "impossible" global compassionate power systems.

It is hoped that the Task Force on U.S. Space Goals/deserve public support by involving the public in the pro and con discussions, and will allow the public to see the preliminary unilateral initiatives the U.S. can launch to begin making good on the commitment Mr. Nixon made in his October 26th speech.

We can not speak for the Members of the Citizens Committee for Global Safety, because they function as *individuals* not as a block. . . . but it is our estimate from knowing and working with them, that they will offer you their full support. . . . and offer President Nixon their full support. . . . if the long range goals for U.S. space development include a commitment to the leadership toward the systems for the future safety and wellbeing of mankind.

Please let us know if we can help in some way.

DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCE GLOBAL SAFETY FROM WAR, BEGIN-
NING WITH SAFE INITIATIVES

Howard G. Kurtz and Harriet B. Kurtz
War Control Planners, Inc., Box 35, Chappaqua, N.Y. 10514

Because technical men were able to envision practical tech-
nology of flight, civilization eventually made the transition into
the air age. Because technical men were able to envision prac-
tical technology of nuclear power, civilization eventually made
the transition into the nuclear age. Because technical men have
been able to envision adequate technology for the round trip
to the moon, civilization eventually will make the transition
into an age of safe lunar travel — if not for everybody, at
least for some persons! In each case, wise men and the
general public have often claimed in advance and without
authority that such accomplishments were "impossible".

In spite of many authorities and experts who "know" it is "impossible", technical men are able to envision practical technology for global systems to prevent war. So it seems to us that civilization eventually will make the transition into a new age in which there will be no more wars. In such an age the forward march of technology will be directed towards production of food, clothing, housing, warmth, transportation, health, education, welfare — products that are prohuman, not antihuman.

On February 10, 1968, a group of military, business, civic, and religious leaders discussed these possibilities in a day-long meeting, and then constituted themselves into a body of continuing concern, called the Citizens Committee for Global Safety. This committee seeks to encourage discussion in technical and nontechnical publications of global war-prevention systems for the future.

At the press conference announcing the formation of the
Citizens Committee for Global Safety, General David M.
Shoup, retired Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps said:

These people in this organization are trying to generate
additional thought for the accomplishment of the aims
and hopes of generations through the last four thousand
years, that . . . we can eventually avoid wars between
nations, by having some kind of international organization
that has the power to stop such actions. Even if there
is only one chance in a million, or in a hundred million,
that this could come to pass, there is good reason for
effort in that direction.

The committee wishes to stimulate the technical imagina-
tion of the systems analysis, and research and development
professions. The committee has released a report proposing
a large number of *safe initiatives* which any country, including
the United States, could launch immediately, without weaken-
ing its national defenses. Of course, no nation would be asked

at present to submit its defense responsibilities to the pro-
jected international authority during the prototype period;
in the same way, no one today is being asked to buy tickets
on the supersonic transport plane.

Yet there are literally hundreds of safe initiatives towards
lasting world peace.

For example, imagine an Experimental Command and
Control System of the United Nations using unclassified infor-
mation. It would be established with ample resources near
the United Nations Headquarters. Representatives of all
nations and the public would be admitted freely. The center
would have large information display walls, similar to those
in the Pentagon and elsewhere.

Every country would provide information relevant to a
possible outbreak of war (and safety from war) to this
center. Country A would naturally monitor its own con-
tributions of information, to make sure that A did not furnish
any information detrimental to A's interests. But A could
not control the information furnished about A by Country
B; and the reports together coming in from Countries B, C,
D, and so on, including A, when collected, compared, and
displayed would be of the utmost interest and importance to
the United Nations and the citizens of the world. For people
could see difficult war/peace situations brewing ahead of time,
in much the same way as they could see stormy weather
centers brewing on a weather map.

The public would begin to realize prospective dangerous
military production or activities anywhere in the world.

All cooperating nations would have facilities to receive and interpret the information entering the UN center; therefore they would become increasingly aware of potentially warlike activities anywhere in the world. All cooperating nations would accumulate experience in the operation of such a system. The public would become fully aware of progress toward a future point where finally public confidence in a global security system could become justified.

Hundreds of similar projects are waiting to be launched.
For many years technology could progress on two levels:
(1) systems essential to the defense of individual nations; and
(2) systems essential for future all-nation defense.

Of course all complex systems have to evolve gradually; so
the way to begin is to begin!

We are eager to hear from any of your readers who would
like to comment on, argue with, or push forward any as-
pects of these ideas.

BIOGRAPHICAL BACKGROUND :

Mr. Howard Kurtz
Rev. Harriet Kurtz

Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz are founders of non-profit War Control Planners, Inc., a conceptual study center clarifying *safe initiatives* through which progress in military systems technologies can be redirected toward the prevention of war, and the maintenance of a climate of safety for all international relations.

They also are among the founding members of the Citizens Committee for Global Safety, a group of military, business, professional and religious leaders formed to stimulate pro and con public discussion of safe initiatives for the development of global safety systems and war prevention systems. These organizations do NOT seek support for any "peace plan" or "political action". The objective is open discussion of initiatives which can be taken toward lasting world peace, without jeopardizing the national security.

**Howard G. Kurtz** is a former Lt. Col. in the U.S. Air Force, graduating from Kelly Field as a pilot in 1929; and graduating from Pennsylvania State College as a Management Engineer in 1930. He spent twenty-two years (1932-1954) in airline management positions in American Airlines, Inc., American Overseas Airlines, Inc., and Pan American World Airways, Inc. He then spent twelve years (1954-1966) as the Senior Associate in the nationally known management consulting firm of Handy Associates, Inc. Since that time he has devoted full time to study of man's increasing ability to expand armed forces management to full global dimension for the eventual elimination of war between nations.

**Rev. Harriet B. Kurtz** is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, commissioned as a pioneering missionary in an all-faith effort to find the ways in which man's present powers to destroy mankind in war, can be redirected into production of food, clothing, housing, health, education and welfare for human beings in all nations. She graduated from Wellesley College in 1937 and graduated as a Bachelor of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary in 1962.

In 1947 when George F. Kennan's "containment" strategy paper was published outlining new U.S. global strategy, Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz were engaged in a two year (1946-48) study of Russian-American problems, at The Russian Institute at Columbia University. Mr. Kurtz then was responsible for the long range planning for American Overseas Airlines' projected New York to Moscow operation, as certificated by the United States Civil Aeronautics Board. Seeing today's global crisis resulting from the escalating confrontation of these two massive powers, Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz have continued their research and conceptual studies for more than twenty years, in search for the new powers within reach of mankind to prevent the oncoming war, and to prevent all war between nations. They have written widely in this field, including:

- Co-editors of book "War Safety Control Report" a study of strategic power ($3.00)

- May 1968 *Computers and Automation*, title "Technology to Produce Global Safety"

- June 1967 *Renewal* magazine, title "Global Compassionate Power"

- July 1966 *Insurance* magazine, title "War Safety Control Systems-Calamity Prevention"

- April 1963 *World Campus*, title "War Safety Control - Pipe Dream or Last Chance ?"

- October 8, 1960 *America*, Catholic Weekly, title " War Safety Control"

- October 1959 *Public Relations Journal*, title "SURVIVAL-Public Relations Responsibility"

- September 1957 *American Engineer*, title "Engineer vs. War"

- March 1955 *Flying* magazine, title " Toward Tomorrow " the goal of universal safety

STATEMENT OF INTENTION

February 10, 1968

NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE

In the midst of war, the United States can launch large scale _safe_ initiatives leading mankind toward a future United Nations capable of guarding the national security and political independence of all nations. The present United Nations can not do this.

There are no valid military reasons why the U.S. should not assume world leadership developing, testing and demonstrating _prototype_ all-nation defense systems, along with unprecedented checks, balances and controls for a worldwide armed forces management system. Many years of such prototype experimentation will be required before public confidence in such a war safety control system is warranted. No nation would be asked to

This project would be _in addition to_ essential defense effort. Each stage of development will increase national defense posture, not weaken it as in premature disarmament. A new U.S. strategic war aim will be the future national security and political independence of the United States, in a multinational safety system guarding the national security and political independence of all nations. The people of all nations will respond to major power leadership toward the future global security system which would give promise of an eventual end to war.

There is no need to first "negotiate" with the enemy before the American people assume this leadership. All nations will be invited to cooperate in the prototype experiments, but pioneering will go forward with U.S. initiatives no matter what nations hold back at present. Other nations will suspect that this is a maneuver by U.S. financial interests to dominate the wealth of the world, and this suspicion will be dissolved only as the American people can prove that it is unfounded.

In addition to a _strategy of defense_, and in addition to a _strategy of deterrence_, the American people have the power to pioneer a _strategy of war prevention_ for the future safety and well-being of mankind.

A generation may be required to pioneer global safety power as a generation was required to pioneer nuclear power or space power. A first ten year commitment can now be made to take significant strides toward _global safety_. Many large scale _safe initiatives_ can be announced to the world without delay.

### Council on Global Safety (COGS)
The United States Congress can authorize the President to create a new Council on Global Safety (COGS). While the National Security Council would continue its responsibilities for day-to-day and medium range matters relating to the national defense, the Council on Global Safety would conduct and foster research, development and planning on an unprecedented scale to crystalize bold safe initiatives the United States can take to assume world leadership toward the long range goal of a future United Nations, or new world security organization, capable of making the world safe from war between nations. The Council will bring together representatives of the military-technological-economic-legal-public opinion-political-moral sectors of the American society.

3. New legal instrumentalities required to resolve inter-nation conflict in a new era in which violence has been outlawed in international affairs.

The American people have nothing to lose by a ten year commitment to pioneer and demonstrate the global safety systems of the future... a new compassionate purpose for expanding American power.

**First Stride: All-Nation Reconnaissance Satel-lites.** All nations will be invited to develop sur-veillance systems for experimental installation in a continuing series of orbiting laboratories. All nations will have free access to information out-puts so that all national defense establishments, all regional defense establishments and the United Nations Military Staff Committee can gain experi-ence in this prototype of future United Nations Safety Authority intelligence capability. The objec-tive will be public inventory of all potentially dangerous military materiel or activity. Answers will be sought to the question: - Can a future U.N. Safety Authority warrant public confidence?

**Second Stride: Experimental U.N. Command and Control System using Unclassified Information.**
Advanced global command and control centers will be constructed near the United Nations Head-quarters, in the capitals of cooperating nations and in the headquarters of regional defense organi-zations. The centers will be open to the public of all nations. The large illuminated display walls will be linked directly to the national command centers of all cooperating nations or regional or-ganizations. No nation will be expected to divulge information detrimental to its own national security. All nations will gain experience in the interface problems of a future war safety control system of world dimension. The public of the world will watch the progress in global surveillance, detec-tion, inspection and intelligence capabilities, with a view toward the future maintainence of armed forces management for the prevention of war be-tween nations. Experimental violence-prevention services will be mobilized for global community safety, as fire department services have been mobilized for the safety of a city. Answers will be sought to the question: - Can a future global command and control system warrant public con-fidence?

**Third Stride: War Prevention Systems Con-ferences.** In a continuing series of multi-national war prevention conferences military and political leaders of all cooperating nations can begin to hammer out force structures and requirements for a future U.N. Safety Authority. They can explore and experiment with unprecedented new political checks and balances and controls required to make certain that an all-nation military command and control authority cannot become tyrant over govern-ments of independent nations, and cannot be cap-tured by any one political power clique for world domination. These continuing War Prevention Sys-tems Conferences will be held on many independent levels, outside of official United Nations channels and also within such channels. They will be held

with individual independent nations and with regional defense organizations. Free discussion and ex-ploration will be encouraged in universities, in professional associations, as well as in the specialized and public press. Answers will be sought to the keystone question of mankind's future: - Can dependable checks, balances and controls be devised in a world security organiza-tion so that no nation will be threatened by or lose its independence to any foreign power, or to any "world government"?

**Fourth Stride: Continuing Multinational War Prevention Games.** While war games are utilized to test and improve proficiency in waging war, this continuing series of multinational war prevention games will be utilized to test and improve the proficiency of the prototype United Nations Safety Authority. All available techniques will be used from computerized models of potential war scenarios to large scale experiments in subversive mobilization for war between nations. Every avail-able means of public communication will be utilized to inform and educate the public of the world in relation to the successes and failures of these war prevention games, so the people of the world will be fully aware of the progress toward the future day when nations no longer fear war from other nations. Answers will be sought to the life-and-death question facing world civilization: - Can the world be made safe from war between nations -- or is man incapable of solving this problem?

GENERAL DAVID M. SHOUP, retired Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps: - If I thought that was the aim of this organization I wouldn't be here. Generations through the last four thousand years have hoped that some day it would be possible to avoid war. These people in this organ-ization are attempting to generate additional thought that eventually we can avoid wars between nations by having some kind of international organization that has the power to stop such wars. If there is one chance in a million that this could come to pass, there is good reason for effort in this direction.

IV. MILITARY SAFE INITIATIVES

The Global Safety Systems Command. The United States Government can create a new military command . . . the U.S. Global Safety Systems Command . . . reporting to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This Command will be responsible for the military aspects of U.S. development and pragmatic testing of future all-nation defense systems, and for U.S. participation in the continuing series of Multinational War Prevention Games. The mission of the U.S. Global Safety Systems Command will include, but not be limited to: -

January 14, 1969

We hope that the forbidding burden of your new responsibilities
will not preclude a meeting with us at a time and place convenient
to you. The object is to find out in what way we, and our
associates, might help the President grasp the opportunities
for new strategies and new power initiatives to break the escalating
global arms confrontation.

Based on our twenty year observation and study of communist global
strategy, and the successive inadequacies of American global strategy
and purpose, none of the strategic concepts being written up by
various members of the passing administration( as summarized in last
Sunday's N.Y.Times) are relevent to the powers and opportunities within
reach of the President. If Churchill had held his attention on the
strategic trap of the Battle of Britain, the war would have been lost
... and if the President continues to hold his attention on Vietnam
where we are in a strategic trap at great disadvantage, the U.S. will
continue to drift toward disaster.

From the opposite direction: - on February 6th there is to be a press
conference by Republican and Democratic Senators and Congressmen
announcing a new Bill to create a "Department of Peace". This is an
emotional issue, and not well thought out, and will split the nation
as it was split to cause the downfall of President Johnson. This
could be averted if President Nixon electrified world populations with
a great new vision somewhat along the lines of the December 16th
paper to Dr. Charles Townes of the U.S. Space Goals Task Force, copy
of which you have. We have many other developments to report.

Former Chief of Staff, United States Army

War Control Planners, Inc. states: "We are not seeking endorsement. We seek only the widest possible public and professional pro and con discussion and debate, in relation to the unprecedented new military-strategic powers now within reach."

I strongly endorse that objective. We have barely crossed the threshold of a great new historic era, the dimension and evolution of which we can at best only dimly perceive. The more new and constructive thought which can be stimulated on the problems already outlined ahead, the better for our national interests and those of mankind.

STATEMENT BY GENERAL DAVID M. SHOUP

Generations through the last four thousand years have hoped that some day it would be possible to avoid war. These people in this organization in modern times are attempting to generate additional thought that eventually we can avoid wars between nations, by having some kind of international organization that has the power to stop such wars. If there is one chance in a million that this could come to pass, there is good reason for effort in this direction.

STATEMENT BY THE LATE GENERAL THOMAS D. WHITE

Former Chief of Staff United States Air Force

It is my personal opinion that it is in the national interest to continue the pro and con discussion and exploration of War Safety Control capabilities and other allied subjects generated by War Control Planners, Inc. It seems to me that in these perilous times there cannot be too much thinking on the subject of war and how to prevent it.

STATEMENT BY CHARLES E. WILSON

Former President, General Electric Co. Inc.

The relentless forward march of technology can be directed toward the creation and operation of world-wide military security systems such as War Safety Control, as effectively as it can be directed toward creation of the destructive power to annihilate mankind. This great task will call for a mobilization and development commitment far more complex and difficult than bringing man back from the moon, but I see no technical reason why world-sized military safety systems can not be developed, if the decision is made to make the great effort.

Honorable Hugh Scott
United States Senate
Washington D.C.

Att: Mr. Richard W. Murphy
Legislative Assistant

Dear Senator Hugh Scott:

Per phone discussion with Mr. Murphy, and relating to your new responsibilities as Assistant Republican Leader in the Senate: - Based on our twenty years observation and study of communist global strategy, and the successive inadequacies of American global strategy and purpose, there now is a valid possibility that President Nixon may assume responsibility, to preside over the complete collapse of American global military strategy. The repercussions in the U.S. may spark simultaneous eruption of the race crisis; the urban crisis; the poverty crisis; the youth crisis; the university crisis; the political crisis; the economic crisis; the monetary crisis; the violence crisis and the moral crisis. If these should occur, the President may be unable to govern the nation. The American Experiment, as we have come to know it, may never return. We are doing everything in our power to prevent this disaster.

If the disaster is to be averted, it is our estimate that the burst of creativity to break the paralysis of the last twelve years under Republican and Democratic Administrations, must come from the Congress. It will have to be a bi-partisan initiative to provide support for, and provide direction for, the new President.

Without discussing theory, one example of bold, new, giant steps forward which is available to the U.S. today is projected in the strategic perspective paper invited by Dr. Charles Townes, Chairman of President-elect Nixon's Task Force on U.S. Space Goals. If you find time to read it you may see the nature of the paralysis which has caused the Senate to abdicate its responsibilities in recent times. The single problem of clarifying new U.S. Space Goals involves the Senate Aeronautical & Space Sciences Committee, the Agriculture & Forestry Committee, the Appropriations Committee, the Armed Services Committee, the Banking and Currency Committee, the Commerce Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee, the Government Operations Committee, and other committees, simultaneously. The strategic power which comes into the hands of a "Churchill", or national leader, in times of grave crisis, is a high-voltage personal power, which he can not delegate. It is a "systems" power composed of military-technological-economic-legal-public opinion-political-moral resources of the society, mobilized for a single historic effort to create new history.

As with any "systems" power, when the initiative is taken over by any one subsystem, the system aborts. Oncoming crisis is NOT a "military" matter which can be grasped either by the Armed Services Committee or by the Secretary of Defense. It is NOT a "political" matter which can be grasped by the Foreign Relations Committee or by the Secretary of State. English history sank or swam because of one man . . . Churchill. American history is about to sink or swim because of one man . . . Nixon. He needs help.

The commitment of American power and American purpose to Space Goals is only one small fraction of the new commitments which are imperative for every aspect of expanding and exploding American power.

The next President of the United States will command the power to destroy world civilization . . . a power it superstitiously had been thought that God alone could command. The Executive Office is constructed with superior channels for command and staff assistance for the Commander-in-Chief to yield, or brandish, such power of destruction. The Senate and the House have Committee strictures to assist the President as he casts a shadow of fear now across all mankind.

But there is something lacking. If a human being commands such power of destruction, he must be holding comparable global compassionate power . . . if he but knew how to generate it, and to use it. There is no instrumentality within the Executive Office to help the President in this uncharted new era of leadership of the world into compassionate protective systems, or war prevention systems. As seen in relation to Space Goals, there is no instrumentality within the Senate or the House to cope with the gigantic problem of the future safety of the American generations and the future safety of mankind. The Senate and the House are organized for the missions of an era which is past and dead.

The youth of the nation are concerned with the character of civilization twenty and more years from now. The character of civilization twenty and more years from now is being formed TODAY by the commitment of U.S. future Space Goals . . . and Undersea Goals . . . and military research and development goals . . . and the goals of other expanding geysers of American future power.

Who is flying the plane? Like passengers in flight across the ocean waking up to the fact that their pilot is lost, the American people ( and especially the youth ) are nearing hysteria and irrational behavior, waking up to the fact that their Government is lost in world crisis. "Dumping" the pilot in mid flight makes matters worse, not better, if there is no one else on board who can bring us back to safety. The Armed Services Committee seems to be preoccupied with stockpiling more and more powers of extinction capable of blowing the whole plane up, and this does not bring us reassurance. The Foreign Relations Committee seems to be in the back of the plane, looking out the rear window, grumbling about "Tonkin Bay" which we passed a long time back. Who in the Senate is concerned with flying this plane into the future, into which we all are heading at terrific speed. Who is flying the plane? Your leadership may be crucial.

As an experiment: - without in any way indicating your own views, if you wish you might reproduce the enclosed and send them to all Senators . . asking their frank expressions of opinion . . . asking each Committee if the matter bears upon that committee. Today we have sent these materials to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy via David Burke. You might wish to keep the potential support for the new President bi-partisan by checking with Sen Kennedy on joint action. Of you may wish to express your PRO or CON views openly and publicly. You may use these materials freely in any way you believe to be in the interest of the future safety of mankind. Time may be very short. The world is holding its breath to see if there is NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE in the New Administration. Many men of dominant power do not want to see the New Administration lead the world toward lasting order and peace. The future of the whole world may be cast in the "first hundred days" beginning January 20,1969. We want to help in any way we can.

active violence prevention efforts, troops will
be available for disaster relief, and to help
developing nations in the fields of education,
training, public works, agriculture, trans-
portation, communications, health, sanitation,
mapping, highway and bridge construction,
irrigation systems and general development.

8. Sponsoring and encouraging large scale ad-
vance research, development, and planning
in war prevention weapons, tactics and tech-
nologies; into the maintenance of the integrity
of national borders; and into other global
military safety capabilities: - in universi-
ties, in research centers, in professional
societies, in specialized publications, and in
military academies.

1. **The Conceptual Study.** Experts in all fields having a possible contribution are brought together. Each functions only within his own field of special competence. Each maintains his professional integrity within his own discipline. Each reverses the scholarly tradition of looking backward, and makes a conscious effort to project his discipline into the future. From the combined future projection of all the experts, an operational goal or objective is clarified. This objective (subject to constant review and improvement) becomes the magnet drawing all future progress toward an operational conclusion.

2. **State-of-the-Art Inventory.** Each expert, still functioning within his own professional discipline, prepares an inventory of the requirements dictated by the objective to determine where present state-of-the-art capabilities are adequate to meet such requirements, and where the capabilities do not yet exist. The areas of inadequacy become the specific objectives of increased research and development investment and activity. Such activity is pursued until the state-of-the-art reaches a point at which the overall objective is attainable.

3. **Simulation Studies.** Through operations research and computer simulation the completed objective is anticipated, bringing out new facets of the problem, familiarizing the system managers with the complexities, gaining familiarity with operational relationships among the subsystems.

4. **Demonstration Models or Prototypes.** When research and development progress reaches the point where the operational objective is feasible, demonstration models or prototypes are constructed. From these realworld experiments rearrangements and improvements are made in the operational objective.

5. **Public Acceptance Preparation.** When demonstration models or prototypes become operational the new reality enters the arena of public reaction. Conditioning of public reaction to the new product or new reality gets under way through public relations channels. The new product is "sold" by professional marketing methods.

6. **Public Acceptance of New Reality.** When the new reality becomes operational there is a continuing interface between the operation and the public reaction, each having an impact upon the other.

For the first time in history some men have in their hands the power to destroy mankind —a power which used to belong to God alone.

For the first time in history man has in his hands the capability to achieve more peace and prosperity on behalf of his fellow man than has ever been possible before, but he suffers an inner credibility gap about whether he will be able to deliver. So we sit here in the interval between national political conventions mulling over what kind of national leadership will be forthcoming in this next year and whether or not it will demand the best of us. It is a time to remember that more is required of us than simply our vote, and that we can lend ourselves in many ways to raising the quality of our nations's life.

Stretcher For Our Image

For the first time in history man has a technical capacity of such magnitude that he has difficulty grasping its extent let alone its significance. Our minds race to adjust—first to man in outer space, then to

the possibility of journeying to the moon, lately to the prospect of working on the ocean floor. Someday soon man will grasp the fact that he is also able to turn this technical ability loose in the service of his aspirations for peace and to construct the base for a serviceable system of global safety against the outbreak of wars. It is a stretch for our image of ourselves.

The key factor in entering the era of development and testing of global safety systems will be the presidential leadership we receive and elect to follow, for a new era of this import can open only under clear executive direction if it is to be an orderly process. Are we going to be willing to believe that man can deliver ... that he can work his way into an era of basic global safety, given the leadership, the effort and a

decade or two of time?

Significant Phenomenon

We have witnessed in the most recent history a phenomenon which has more significance than has yet come home to us. Power of the greatest magnitude is ours in this country and yet we have been unable to wield it to work our national will. What we have yet to take into account is that when power reaches such great quantity it must have a comparable quality. Some place along the line our power has outdistanced our purposes and has throws the whole course of events out of balance.

It is perhaps difficult to take hold of such a profound simplicity in a practical way, but it is apparent that to restore wholeness to our common life it will be necessary to expand and up-grade the basic purposes for which we use our power if we are to be able to hold on to what we have already achieved. Today it is not only practical but mandatory that the level of aspiration be raised. And this is why a minister finds herself concerned with the realities of our national life.

Day For Statesmanship

A new American purpose — one to match the magnitude of American power—is true necessity. Let us welcome this necessity, for it is not a dour one. Let us consciously choose to match the global capabilities we have generated with a global concern which uses safe

initiatives but uses them on behalf of the well-being mankind in new and constructive ways. This is a day for statesmanship of the highest order to emerge. Each of us has a role in determining the character of that leadership. We can refuse to respond to those who would ponder to our lesser selves, or we can rise in affirmation of those who would offer bold and forward steps toward a better use of American power. Within the tion, there is the basic one of enlarged and up-graded human purposes which must be kept in the foreground.

"For the first time in human history" is a phrase to stretch with. It comes to us from many sides today and with almost annoying regularity. But it is distinctly a fact of our own day that we have it within our capacity to make new history for a new era. The place to begin is with the most undealt-with problem of our times: global safety and how to achieve it. The technology is here, with our global communications systems, global surveillance systems, and near-global command and control systems to transform the present U.N. into an instrument which can maintain world peace. The leadership is not yet here, but we can seek it. Given technology and leadership our souls come into play. It is indeed a time to remember that the political season requires more of us than politics.

# NEW AMERICAN PURPOSE

In the midst of war, the United States can launch large scale safe initiatives leading mankind toward a future United Nations capable of guarding the national security and political independence of all nations. The present United Nations can not do this.

There are no valid military reasons why the U.S. should not assume world leadership developing, testing and demonstrating prototype all-nation defense systems, along with unprecedented checks, balances and controls for a worldwide armed forces management system. Many years of such prototype experimentation will be required before public confidence in such a war safety control system is warranted. No nation would be asked to

This project would be in addition to essential defense effort. Each stage of development will increase national defense posture, not weaken it as in premature disarmament. A new U.S. strategic war aim will be the future national security and political independence of the United States, in a multinational safety system guarding the national security and political independence of all nations. The people of all nations will respond to major power leadership toward the future global security system which would give promise of an eventual end to war.

In addition to a strategy of defense, and in addition to a strategy of deterrence, the American people have the power to pioneer a strategy of war prevention for the future safety and well-being of mankind.

A generation may be required to pioneer global safety power as a generation was required to pioneer nuclear power or space power. A first ten year commitment can now be made to take significant strides toward global safety. Many large scale safe initiatives can be announced to the world without delay.

with individual independent nations and with regional defense organizations. Free discussion and exploration will be encouraged in universities, in professional associations, as well as in the specialized and public press. Answers will be sought to the keystone question of mankind's future: - Can dependable checks, balances and controls be devised in a world security organization so that no nation will be threatened by or lose its independence to any foreign power, or to any "world government"?

GENERAL DAVID M. SHOUP, retired Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps: - If I thought that was the aim of this organization I wouldn't be here. Generations through the last four thousand years have hoped that some day it would be possible to avoid war. These people in this organization are attempting to generate additional thought that eventually we can avoid wars between nations by having some kind of international organization that has the power to stop such wars. If there is one chance in a million that this could come to pass, there is good reason for effort in this direction.

It is my personal opinion that it is in the national interest to continue the pro and con discussion and exploration of War Safety Control capabilities and other subjects generated by War Control Planners, Inc. It seems to me that in these perilous times there cannot be too much thinking on the subject of war and how to prevent it.

" It is no accident that most great statesmen were opposed by the 'experts' in their foreign offices, for the very greatness of the statesman's conceptions tends to make it inaccessible to those whose primary concern is with safety and minimum risk."

Henry A. Kissinger NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FOREIGN POLICY 1957

February 4, 1969

After all reports are in to you from the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Department of Defense; the Department of State; the CIA and the many think-factories regarding Vietnam, and Paris, and Middle East, and Latin America, and Korea and Eastern Europe and NATO and all the other areas of increasing crisis, you are apt to have a library full of documents sketching symptoms of the oncoming global crisis . . . but without the great new vision which a Great Statesman in the White House must have to master this moment in history.

Based on our twenty year observation and study of communist global strategy and the successive inadequacies of American global strategy and purpose, President Nixon may have assumed responsibility in time to preside over the complete collapse of American global military strategy. The repercussions at home may make it impossible for him to govern the nation. Unfairly, history may blame President Nixon for the disaster, as history blamed President Hoover for the economic collapse which was minor compared to oncoming calamity.

As you know, a war is not lost on the battlefield but months or years in advance in the too-small vision of the single human being in supreme strategic command. Our study of the inadequacy of the basic concept in the mind of the man who was President began in 1947. George F. Kennan's "containment" paper was published then, as we both were studying at The Russian Institute at Columbia University. It continued through the collapse of the massive nuclear retaliation concept in the mind of President Eisenhower . . . and the great reappraisal by President Kennedy into the concept of flexible response across the entire spectrum of nuclear and non-nuclear weapons . . . and the collapse of that strategy in the era of President Johnson's walking blindly into the strategic trap of Vietnam, and then the "negotiate and fight simultaneously" deeper strategic trap.

Our objective through the years, and the objective of the many key citizens who work quietly with us, is to be of service with a bold new strategic concept or national purpose, in the mind of the human being who is President. As President Nixon made his statement to the world in his Inaugural Address . . . " . . . to help lead the world at last out of the valley of turmoil and on to that high ground of peace that man has dreamed of since the dawn of civilization" . . . we realized that our work through the years now is prepared to help him achieve that objective, with the power now available to him. Perhaps our strongest encouragement comes from eight years of documented

indifference and/or hostility from the military-industrial-scientific-academic-financial power communities which find escalating wellbeing from escalating national danger, and protracted prosperity from protracted conflict ... and the men on temporary duty from these communities serving in top positions in the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Department of Defense; the Department of State; the think-factories; the engineering universities; the technical societies and the centers of massive financial power.

If President Nixon desires to move toward *making the world safe for mankind* as he said in his Inaugural, we may be able to bring to you additional perspective beyond those coming toward you now. He will have to be strong enough to stand against the tidal waves of instinct which find gratification in the openended escalation of the arms race.

We do not know whether you welcome such additional options which are available to the President.
