**National Security Policy.**† This seminar deals with strategy and policy-making for national security, emphasizing both substance and governmental processes by which it is made. The central theme is the relationship of power to foreign policy. Principal areas covered: Fall term: strategic doctrine and foreign policy, governmental institutions for integrating national security policy, Department of Defense organization, role of Congress and the public in national security policy-making; Spring term: some case histories: NATO, Vietnam, arms control, (Professor HENRY A. KISSINGER with Professor LEACH, 2 hours a week.)

† The grades in this seminar will be letter grades, as they are in other Harvard University courses, and will not be included in computing Law students' averages. Papers written in the seminar may, however, with the permission of Professor Leach, be submitted in satisfaction of the third year writing requirement; in such cases the papers will be given numerical grades and these grades will be included in Law School averages.

MEMORANDUM TO: Professor Henry Kissinger and Professor W. narton Leach.

SUBJECT: security for the National Security Policy Seminar (prevention of violations of the "off-the-record" rule).

1. Faults in the security system for the 1966-1967 Seminar:

a. anyone (including wandering reporters) is allowed to enter Seminar meetings.

b. students are not sufficiently warned of the consequences of violations of the "off-the-record" rule.

2. Suggestions for improving security in the 1968-1969 Seminar:

a. have Seminar participants checked against a list of names as they enter the Seminar meetings.

b. have all guests previously "cleared" (i.e. approved) by a discussion section leader and advised of the "off-the-record" rule.

c. distribute to all Seminar participants at the beginning of the academic year a memorandum stressing the importance of keeping speakers' comments "off-the-record."

d. follow up the memorandum with warnings by the Seminar and discussion section leaders that students who violate the "off-the-record" rule will be dropped from the Seminar and receive no credit.

(1) since this sanction cannot be applied to auditors, auditing of the Seminar should either be discontinued or only permitted if the Seminar leaders are convinced that each auditor will respect the "off-the-record" rule.

MEMORANDUM

To: Henry Kissinger

From: George H. Quester

I raised with Sam Huntington the question of whether Government Dept. Assistant Professors (such as Kurth or Jervis) can be offered credit against their teaching time for doing Govt. 259. His response to me was essentially non-committal and negative. I have not discussed the possibility in any clear or concrete way with either Kurth or Jervis, but I have the distinct impression that they would be reluctant to take on 259 without an assurance of some reduction in the rest of their teaching commitment.

I assume you will still want to have three sections in all. This raised the question of who else is going to be around, since Harris and Allison both will probably be gone. Let me then summarize the possibilities as known to me, although none of these people have really been talked to:

James Kurth---Assistant Professor next year, took 259 several years ago, was an officer in the Navy prior to coming to Harvard, level-headed, competent, bright

Bob Jervis---Assistant Professor next year, taught a session of the seminar last year, bright, competent, level-headed, but prefers not to have the coordinator's role for 259

Bob Art---Teaching at Brandeis, wrote a thesis on the TFX for Neustadt quite bright, Mort Halperin thought very highly of him

John Steinbroner--teaching at MIT, thesis on MLF, seems very bright, Neustadt thinks very highly of him, as does Bloomfield

others:

Maury Feld
George Kelly
a graduate student named Tillema,
--seems bright, writing a thesis on Pentagon decision-making

With regard to Art and Steinbroner, they would be moon-lighting" from Brandeis and MIT; this is probably not against any rules, but their willingness to take on 259 would also depend on how much supplementary salary they could be assured off.

Professor Tom Schelling and I have discussed the matter of payment to me for my teaching duties in Professor Kissinger's National Security Policy Seminar. We have agreed that these responsibilities are properly teaching responsibilities. Consequently, these duties (and the $1,800 payment for them) should count towards my ½ teaching load.

I will have Professor Kissinger's office send a memo to the Government Department and Comptroller authorizing this transfer of funds.

I apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.
