Memorandum to: Dr. Henry A. Kissinger

I assume Harry Ransom has talked to you about Tim
Stanley's forthcoming course at George Washington
University: Political Science 286 - Seminar in American
Military Policy.

I certainly think that this should be called to the
attention of the Ford Foundation and other possible angels.
We always thought of the Defense Studies Program as having
a seminal effect; and we hoped that we would be training
here the men who would carry the torch elsewhere as well
as setting the pattern and providing the otherwise un-
available materials.

At Ohio State and Wisconsin there are now programs
which stem from our own. In the case of George Washington
we have for the first time a course being given by one of
our own graduates, using our materials, and following our
general format.

It also seems to me that this development should be
persuasive in permitting various aspects of Defense Studies
to be a major field of doctoral study.

I need hardly add that I consider this George
Washington development one of the bright jewels in our
crown; and I think we should do everything possible to help
it succeed.

After Stanley has worked out well at George Washington
I could hope that something similar would be done in
