DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
THE NATIONAL WAR COLLEGE
OFFICE OF THE COMMANDANT
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20315

MAY 31 1966

25 May 1966

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The National War College, under the direction of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will conduct the annual Defense Strategy Seminar during the period 20 June - 1 July. The Seminar brings together over 200 selected Reserve Officers, prominent in their communities and representing a large cross section of civilian professions - particularly business, education and law.

I am delighted to learn from Dr. William C. Davis, Director of the Speakers Bureau, that you have accepted our invitation to address the members of the Seminar on the subject, "Free World Alliances," at 2:00 p.m., Thursday, 30 June. In this topic we would like to have included a treatment of the strengths and weaknesses of our system of Free World alliances, as well as a highlighting of the key problems which face NATO, OAS, SEATO and ANZUS. It is recognized that a one hour lecture cannot do full justice to such a comprehensive topic and, therefore, only brief reference can be made to certain aspects, while other more important considerations will justify greater emphasis as you may judge appropriate. The inclosed outline will indicate the relation of this lecture to others of the Defense Strategy Seminar.

Members of the Seminar will have security clearance through SECRET, and The National War College policy of non-attribution will be in effect.

As you know, each lecture at the College is normally about fifty minutes in length and is followed by a question and answer period of approximately thirty minutes. However, if you prefer a shorter lecture with more time for questions, this is agreeable. We hope you will be able to remain with us for an additional discussion with a representative group from the class and faculty.

While we cannot hope to compensate you fully for your time and effort, we are authorized to reimburse you for your travel expenses and to offer the sum of $100.00 as a modest honorarium.

In the event you desire additional information or assistance in preparing your address, please do not hesitate to call on any of us here at the College. Colonel Stuart M. Porter, USAF, (telephone OXford 5-8491) is Director of the Seminar and our faculty member most familiar with the scope and purpose of your topic. He will be available to you at any time.

Within a few days you will receive a letter from my Executive Officer, Colonel E. A. Trahan, USA, regarding the administrative arrangements for your visit.

We are very happy that you can be with us on this occasion and are looking forward to welcoming you back to the College.

With kindest regards, I am

Please accept once again my very sincere thanks for your remarks on "Free World Alliances" which you tendered to our 1966 Defense Strategy Seminar last Thursday. I find it easy to concur with many of the participants who consider the afternoon to have been the most profitable of this Seminar.

Your frankness and sincerity, to say nothing of the obvious depth of study which you revealed to us, were both stimulating and rewarding. I am sure that you were well aware of the high degree of audience interest in your views relative to the bases of many of our foreign policy problems and possible remedial courses of action. Your contribution to our course of study was extremely valuable and we appreciate deeply the insights you gave us into these perplexing areas of national endeavor.

Once again, many thanks for sharing with us so much of your time, effort and knowledge.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am writing to you for advice and possible help in attaining
a wider and better understanding, among political scientists and
government officials, of the nature and raison d'etre of our National
War College in Washington.

I suggest this because it seems to me that the national
security interests of our country would be better served if more
people in important places, both at home and abroad, had a better
knowledge of the College as it is, rather than as it has been painted
from time to time in news items, magazine articles and books.
I have in mind the published criticisms of a few public officials,
some of the views expressed in books by scholars, occasional articles
in publications such as the *Bulletin of Atomic Scientists*, the more
recent article in the August 1966 issue of the new leftist magazine
*Ramparts*, and the occasional but continuing unfavorable publicity
which is a fall-out from the widely publicized views in the Fulbright
memorandum of August 1961 on the Defense Strategy Seminar of
The National War College and the capabilities and limitations of
military officers as a part of government.

It is my parochial view that, all things considered, we have
one of the finest, if not the finest, programs of study in international
security affairs available anywhere in the world and that the College
is a distinct asset to this country. You are familiar with our College
and I will not try to justify that statement to you. I will observe,
however, that I perhaps do not know enough about the Center for
International Affairs at Harvard.

In any event, I feel that our public image is sometimes
undeservedly unfavorable in places that count, and the national
security might well be served by trying to correct this adverse image.
Furthermore, an article about The National War College, by a first-
class scholar of unquestioned repute might serve the purpose of
pointing out to us weaknesses we had not recognized heretofore.

We are not trying to plant a propaganda piece. We honestly

want an article that will present an objective analysis of the College. Most of the necessary research is available in our files in one form or another. We would be happy to make this research and any other assistance available to a good scholar and writer, and assure him that he would be free to draw his own conclusions.

Foreign Affairs has been suggested as a target vehicle. It is a magazine encompassing many shades of opinion and hence would be far more suitable than a more conservative publication that might tend automatically to be sympathetic to the College. Moreover, it has a rather wide international readership.

I have some questions to ask:

Would it be a good idea to get a correct picture of the College on the record through an article published in a magazine of some international circulation -- perhaps by an appraisal of U. S. Government education in national security affairs, using The National War College as a case study?

What would be the best magazine to shoot for?

Who would be the man to write it?

I know you are extremely busy, but if you consider that such an article would be desirable, would you undertake it yourself? If not, could you recommend another almost as well qualified as you?

Please let me have your frank views. If they are favorable, I would like to get together with you and discuss some generalities and possibilities.

In any event, let me take this opportunity to again thank you for the very fine support you have given the College in the past and continue to give at present in both your lectures and your help in connection with the Faculty Advisory Committee.

With best regards, I am

Dear Admiral Lee:

Thank you for your letter of September 6th
which reached me while I was out of the country.

I share your views about the National War
College. The difficulty is making a concrete
suggestion. I think an article about the War
College would be useful but FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
for example, would never agree in advance until
it sees the article itself. Even though I am on
their editorial board my influence on these matters
is very limited.

My suggestion would be to get someone to
do the article--Kintner or Strausz-Hupe. After
I have seen it I would be glad to suggest a possible
target publication.

Kind regards.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The recommendations from last year's meeting of our Civilian Faculty Advisory Committee have certainly been most helpful to The National War College. I think the program that we have established is well worthwhile and will produce increasing dividends as the years go by.

In order to enhance our chances for acceptances from civilian professor prospects for the War College faculty, we are considering mentioning in our letter of invitation to the prospective civilian faculty member that he has been recommended to us by our Civilian Faculty Advisory Committee, attaching a list of the names to the letter, and advising him that in the event he would like to contact any of you for questions he might have, he is free to do so.

A variation of this procedure would be to include in the invitation the suggestion that he might show the Committee roster to the Dean of his faculty and/or to the President of his university saying that they were also free to go direct to the Committee members for information if desired.

Still a third alternative might be to include a list of our Civilian Faculty Advisory Committee in the letter we presently write concurrently to the selectee's university president and tell him that he is free to contact any of you for any questions he might have.
