16. " Unconventional Warfare," by J.K. Zawodny.

A dominant theme in the previous selections has been the complex interrelationship between the technological and strategic objectives of national security policy and the political framework within which the resultant systems are designed to operate. There was a general consensus that the impact of the former upon the latter was serious, and such as to warrent a consideration of the political consequences in the decision-making process involved in the choice of any particular major weapons system. The article by Professor Zawodny turns this problem on its head. It analyses the manner in which the political and social conditions of a given area may determine the military strategy and tactics employed within it.

It has been argued that a particular weapons system or strategy may be impractical simply because whatever its technical efficacy, the very fact of its existence would create a new set of problems undermining the very situation it was designed to control. In the problem of unconventional warfare, it may similarly be argued that a particular set of social and political objectives may be undesirable in that any attempt to enforce them is bound to result in an unmanageable level of insurrectional violence. Such insurrections, having once gotten under way, can, according to Professor Zawodny, be controlled only by transforming the social and political circumstances which brought them into being.

### article

Central to this article is the thesis that purely military approaches intensify local resistance, further alienate the natives and aggravate the condition they were designed to cure. There is a sense in which " wars are won and lost in the minds of men ". The successful waging of unconventional warfare require a constant awareness of this fact and the systematic application of strategy and tactics

16.

towards influencing the attitudes and behavior of local populations.

17. "Unconventional Warfare," by Franklin Lindsay.

This article though similar in title to the preceding one is much more specific in its subject matter. It deals in detail with one particular problem: that of organizing effective counter-measures to the tactics of guerilla insurrection ΜΠΡΚΧΧΡΧΧΝΧΝ perfected and employed by the Communists since the end of World War II. Like Professor Zawodny, however, Mr. Lindsay contends that though the instruments are military, the problem is essentially a political one. The key to success in this area is the establishment of a set of political goals which the average person can both understand and accept. Only after this has been done is it possible to ξηχξηχηχη approach the problem of employing military forces in an intelligent manner.

This is not to belittle the military aspect of the problem. Attracting and supporting skillful and dedicated local partisans is a complex and arduous business. It is, moreover an activity for which the West has, up to now shown little aptitude. Along with the development of military skills, a systematic effort must be made to work out techniques and develop ΜΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΗΜΧΧΗ ΜΧ the political aspects of village warfare.

18. "Managing the Arms Race," by Thomas C. Schelling.

In the formulation of national security policy, there are two major considerations to be taken into account: the effect a given decision may have on the nation making it to achieve its objectives in this sphere, the effect of such a decision on the behavior of the nation against whom it is directed. In a sense, these two aspects are inseparably intertwined. There is a difference, however, between a relationship which is haphazard and unintended and one which is deliberate-and rational.

17.

Professor Schelling, in the article that follows, analyses some recent aspects of U.S. -Soviet relations as evidence for the existence of a two-power interaction process of the kind described above. He is primarily interested in the means whereby implicit assumption might become explicit and a pair of unilateral programs be transformed into a two sided adaptive system.

In a sense this article complements the earlier selection by Professor Schelling. In his view, strategic considerations develop a political logic all their own. In "Nuclears, NATO and the New Strategy," he argued that it would be useful for the U.S. and its NATO partners to understand one another's strategic doctrines and objectives. The price of misunderstanding seemed to be confusion and weakening of the alliance. In this essay, Professor Schelling appears to be arguing that it is essential that the U.S. and the Soviet Union understand one another's strategic doctrines and objectives; for in this area the price of misunderstanding might be incalculable.

The two-power arms race thus can be regarded as one of the highest and most intense forms of international negotiation. Because we have, at least up to recently, been more interested in the probable course of Soviet behavior than that of any other foreign nation, it is in our obvious interest to develop whatever methods we can for channelling such conduct along lines we regard as acceptable.

## II.2

19. "Minimal Deterrent vs. Saturation Parity," by Leo Szilard.

The previous article explored a mixture of carrot and stick technique, in effect, unilaterally undertaken by the U.S. in order to bring the Soviet Union into a two-sided adaptive system. In the following article, the late Professor Leo Szilard explores some areas of mutual interest and concern which could form the basis for

18.

is for a cooperative effort at the creation of such a system.

The title of this article stresses the *x* polar objectives towards which national security can direct itself: a force level just sufficient to inflict unacceptable damage in a counterblow in the case of a strategic strike directed against its territory, and a force level sufficient to demolish all of an opponent's sizable cities after a strategic strike against one's own territory has been absorbed.

Professor Szilard's thesis is that *xx* it is urgent that a choice between these *yy* options be made, particularly since both of the major powers are on the verge of achieving the latter, saturation parity; and that once that stage is reached, a new and more intensive arms race is likely to get under way.

It is his contention that the Soviet Union would be amenable to entering into an agreement leading to a step by step reduction of nuclear armaments down to a minimum deterrent level, particularly if effective inspection procedures could be agreed upon and measures against the proliferation of nuclear weapons put into effect. But, even more strongly than in Professor Schelling's article this would require a degree of cooperation and understanding between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. stronger than that *zzzz* existing in any major alliance currently in effect.

20. "Nuclear Testing and Disarmament," by John F. Kennedy.

21. "The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty: Symbol of a New Course," by Dean Rusk.

In 1958, the U.S. and the Soviet Union voluntarily suscribed to a test ban moratorium. On September 1, 1961 broke this agreement with a two month series of tests. On the 5 of September 1961, President Kennedy authorized a resumption of tests and with this adress on March 2, 1962 announced that they would begin somewhere in the latter

19.

part of April.

On both sides the apparent objective was an investigation of the possibilities of developing an anti-ballistic missile. and thereby of achieving a technological breakthrough in the arms race. Once the Soviet Union had decided upon such a course, the U.S. felt that it had no choice but to match their efforts.

The tests once completed, however, and the enormity of the next stage in the arms race being fully digested both sides expressed willingness to conclude a treaty banning nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space and under water. The two sides had a mutual interest in an interpretation not only in avoiding conflict with the arms race in which they were engaged, but also in limiting the process of the proliferation of nuclear weapons among other nations. While the first objective has perhaps been achieved, the second one is still to be attained.

22. "The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty," by Edward Teller.

Ever since the氢核聚变 debate over the hydrogen bomb in 1951, Edward Teller has been perhaps the most prominent scientific advocate of continuous and intense research on the problems of weapons development. His basic argument being that the advance of knowledge in this area can not be halted by such artificial instruments as 中方研究的氢核 dependence upon international agreements with the Soviet Union and that it could be اشاریه to would be jeopardizing the security of the nation. His position was supported by many senior military officers particularly in the Air Force and by a body of conservative senators. What weakened it, however, was the apparent isolation, despite his undisputed eminence, of Professor Teller in the community of his fellow scientists.

20.

23. "The National Security Council," by the Senate Subcommittee on National Policy Machinery.

This committee, established in July 1959 and headed by Senator Jackson, reviewed in exemplary fashion the Executive policy making apparatus. The report which follows was issued in 1960 and was probably one of the major sources for the administrative changes instituted by President Kennedy.

The major point made by this report was that the President must make a choice between the National Security Council and the NSC system; between the agency functioning as an intimate body of executive advisors or the agency operating as a quasi-independent policy planning adjunct to the executive apparatus. The Committee Report strongly recommended the former course of action, and this was the course that was also chosen by President Kennedy and continued in by President Johnson.

## Report

The major recommendations of this Committee have, in substance, been put into effect. Council meetings have taken the form of small, high level ad hoc sessions. The Operations Coordinating Board has been abolished and its role has been taken over by a small, intimate Presidential staff, operating outside the system and justifying its existence on the basis of its sensitivity to the President's needs. The Departments of State and Defense have been expanded so as to give their secretaries and in-house body of expert advice commensurate with their responsibilities.

The recommendations of the National Security Council have been pointedly ignored.

This report is accordingly a notable example of the effective use of Congressional investigatory powers. It makes it clear that such bodies can exert great influence not only through an elaborate scrutiny of detail

2p.

24. "The Joint Chiefs of Staff and Military Unification," by Roswell Gilpatric.

The long debate as to the division of powers within the Department of Defense appears now to have been settled. The Secretary of Defense, particularly in the person of Robert S. McNamara is now in undisputed control. In the public eye, the major victims of this solution has been the Joint Chiefs of Staff, [NAME] whose claims to policy making powers, especially since the TXF and E-70 cases, seem to have been radically diminished.

There was at one time the fear that the unification of the armed forces would create a sort of Prussian General Staff, operating independently of the civilian branch and drawing up and implementing undisputed version of its own military policy. In opposition, it has been argued that the creation of a single Secretary of Defense would reduce the service chiefs [NAME] to a rubber stamp role and hamper the application of professional military expertise to the management of the armed forces. Positively stated these arguments boiled down to a dispute between professional management and civilian control.

The new version with which Mr. Gilpatric agrees is that the management of organizations as complex as the Department of Defense special requires a [NAME] set of skills, which are inherently neither military nor civilian, though overall civilian control is an essential part of our process of government. The particular military expertise embodied in the persons of the Joint Chiefs is best employed when such men [NAME] are divorced from the details of administration and serve as a highest level strategic advisory group to the President and the Secretary of Defense.

25. "Inter-service Competition and the Political Roles of the Armed Services," by Samuel P. Huntington.

The post World War II history of the Defense Department has been enlivened by violent public interservice disputes such as the Air Force -Navy B-36 Carrier argument of 1947-49 and the Army - Air Force Thor-Jupiter dispute of 1955-57. There has been a certain tendency to interpret such events as evidence of service disunity and inefficiency, RXXFXXIXXXIXXX and a good deal of the impetus for McNamara type reforms has its origins in such a conviction. Professor Huntington argues to the contrary. In his view, service rivalries tend to serve the public interest. They provide a mechanism whereby the public in general and Congress in particular is kept informed of the issues involved in the formulation of national security policy, and insure the active participation of the civilian branches in the decision-making process.

Professor Huntington, indeed, has fears that an increase in the degree of unification will have the result of imposing doctrinal uniformity and stifling debate, and that the resultant decline of controversy will destroy the cohesion and weaken the interaction of the various components of our military establishment. Such a result would, in his eyes, both undermine our security and radically alter the established principles of civilian control.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Elisabeth has shown me the manuscript of PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL STRATEGY, and I am delighted with it. Your Introduction is a masterpiece of concise and telling analysis; the selections are excellent. It will be a good and useful book; it will also, I hope, earn you lots of money.

One or two small points. --Not so small, on second thought; medium-sized. We agreed that introductions to each section of the book would be unnecessary, but I still think it's essential that the student have some background on the significance, historical or theoretical, of the authors and statements you chose to put in the text. Do you think you could add a few more comments in your Introduction, such as the ones you make on Gallois and Wohlstetter, so that it is not only an introduction to the subject matter of the book, but more precisely an introduction to the book itself--a few paragraphs on why you felt it was useful to put these pieces together, why each particular writer or speaker is important, what the special significance of each statement is.

I also think we must have short introductory notes or paragraphs prefacing each article--not great think pieces, just brief paragraphs to place each author and article in perspective and context. Plus some biographical data on the author, which, to conform to mundane textbook standards--we really must provide.

These details are trying, and they might seem self-evident and superfluous. But I don't think they are; after all, this kind of book is basically a teaching tool, and without these things the book won't be complete and thorough and pedagogically effective in the way that instructors and students will want it to be. We need the proper condiments and silverware and napkins and glasses for this intellectual meal, not just the meat and potatoes.

Elisabeth will be glad, of course, to help you by doing whatever scissors-and-pasting or other labor is needed. I'd be glad to send her up to Cambridge for a few days if that would be at all useful. But obviously she can't herself write these prefatory notes, because she can't put herself in your place and come up with all the information and judgment that you alone can provide. If she can help in any way, though, she is at your disposal.

Again, let me repeat how good I think the book is as a whole. It is truly a pleasure to publish Henry Kissinger.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Under separate cover, I have returned to you the edited copy of your Introduction to National Security Policy, so that you may take a look at the few very minor changes I made and at the one or two queries I posed to you in the margins. All in all, I think it is in splendid shape and ready to go to the printer as soon as you have approved the final corrections.

I do have one or two questions about the articles, though. The first concerns the Herman Kahn piece. I wonder whether you would consider using in its place either the chapter on the escalation ladder from his new book *On Escalation*, or the article that is virtually a condensation of the book, which appeared in the London *Sunday Times* and in *Fortune*. I mention these possibilities because he has somewhat revised his argumentation, and perhaps he should be represented by his most recent presentation. If, however, there are other reasons why you prefer the piece from Abshire and Allen, would you then be able to provide a prefatory note explaining, inter alia, why? I must confess that we are rather in favor of the *Fortune* article or a chapter from the new book: they are both somewhat shorter and more compactly written, I think.

I am also concerned with the excerpt from Senator Jackson's Sucommittee reports. It happens that we are publishing a collection of the staff reports and testimony from the Subcommittee's hearings, as a book entitled *The National Security Council*, which will appear at virtually the same time as *Problems of National Strategy*. We are somewhat reluctant to include the same piece in both books, especially since the Subcommittee has told us that the reports have already been widely circulated and used. The piece you've chosen is the linch-pin of the Subcommittee's book--so we are in a quandary. I am sorry to bring this up so late in the game; I did not realize, until I had your finished manuscript in hand, that you planned to use the report; the other book is already printed and bound. Is there another document you could use instead?

Thank you very much for returning to us the signed
contract, and I am terribly sorry about the two errors
I made in typing up the contract. Mr. Praeger has
counter-initialled the change in your assistant's name.
He has also fixed the delivery date to read November 1,

and initial the changes in the copy you now have, and
return that one to us.

I shall see that the advances go out to you on Mon-
day or Tuesday of the coming week.

Lastly, the contract does not, of course, preclude
your publishing your Council lectures. But, as you know,
Mr. Praeger is quite anxious to publish these himself.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Thank you for The Manuscript, which came yesterday, and on which I intend to begin this weekend. Your introduction looks splendid. Miss Blanchard will have told you by now that I have broken off diplomatic relations with Hill and Wang, and have told them to forget about the Blackett. Could you tell me, though, what you intend to put in its place? Part I looks rather truncated with only two selections.

Among the 75824 things I am trying to do today and tomorrow is-- high on the list--to read the Stehlin. I must confess that Mr. Praeger is not too optimistic about the chances for this book, but I shall go through it thoroughly before we decide anything. Can you bear with me for a week more?

The permissions picture: You still need to get permissions for Lindsay, Gallois, and Alastair Buchan, according to my records. Is this correct? If it is, I think it is best if we stick to the tried-and-true formula and have the request go out from you, rather than from here. One is less likely then to be forced to part with green money.

What is the status of the McNamara piece? Is it in the public domain?

Did the Centre d'Etudes de Politique Etrangere give permission on the Schelling (No. 8, "Nuclears, Nato, etc.")? I know that Europa Archiv and Schelling did.

The Reporter told you they had only North American serial rights to Brodie's article (No. 14). I suppose that means one has to get the English-language rights from whomever else it is who holds the rights.

Did Gilpatric OK your use of No. 23, "An Expert Looks at the Joint Chiefs"?

Believe me, I dislike these details as much as you do. In bringing them up, I feel like the cheerful child who breaks the china, causes anguish, but weeps plaintively, "I was only trying to be helpful."

With best regards,

Sincerely,

Elisabeth Sifton

Dear Sir:

I am planning to compile and edit a book of readings entitled PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL STRATEGY, to be published by Frederick A. Praeger in 1966. I would like to have your permission to include in this work "U.S. Strategy and the Defense of Europe," by Pierre M. Gallois which appeared in Orbis in the summer of 1963. The exact page reference is pp. 226-249 and it has approximately 8,400 words.

Since Praeger will publish PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL
STRATEGY both in the United States and in England, it will
be necessary to have English-language rights throughout
the world.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Gentlemen:

I am planning to compile and edit a book of readings entitled PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL STRATEGY, to be published by Frederick A. Praeger in 1965. I would like to have your permission to include in this work "Interservice Competition and the Political Role of the Armed Services", by Samuel P. Huntington which appeared in American Political Science Review in March, 1961. The exact page reference is pp. 40-52 and it is approximately 10,800 (number) of words.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Thank you for your letter of February 17. Yes, of
course, March 25 is perfectly all right--and I hope you won't
have to suffer any longer over either the Introduction to
Problems of National Strategy or your difficulties with McGraw
Hill.

I am planning to be in Cambridge, March 22 and 23.
Perhaps, if you are not hopelessly busy, I could take a moment
of your time, at your convenience, to gather up as much of
Problems of National Strategy as is ready to be borne to
New York?

I haven't yet been able to persuade the Free Press to sell
me a copy of *American National Security*. And of course it is
against my principles to go into a book store and buy it! That
is too easy! But I hope to get it soon. By now, you probably
have seen it, since I am sure you operate more quickly in these
matters than we in New York.

You won't believe it, but Mrs. Wang, of Hill and Wang, of
Blackett reprint permissions fame, still eludes me. She only
works on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings; her phone is
busy constantly while she is there; her secretary refuses to
take messages when she is not; and she doesn't answer letters.
I am really quite annoyed, particularly since Hill and Wang remain
impeturbably calm in the face of my telephonic outbursts. By the
time I have arrived in Cambridge, I hope to have something to
report.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

How does the schedule of PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL
STRATEGY appear to be shaping up? I recall that February
15 is some sort of deadline.

Meanwhile, I have struggled with Hill and Wang
over the Blackett fee. Mrs. Wang, who handles Rights and
Permissions, is on vacation, and no one else seems empowered
to argue with me. So the matter is at a standstill. I hope
to hear from her on Monday, however, as to whether she is
willing to lower the price. If she is not, then it is no
Blackett, as we agreed. I am sorry this is still unresolved.

Have you seen American National Security: A Reader
in Theory and Policy, edited by Morton Berkowitz and P.G.
Bock, preface by Heinze Eulau, published by the Free Press? I
wonder if we have anything to fear. I have not seen the book,
although I have placed an order for it.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Henry A. Kissinger

FROM: Maury Feld

I wouldn't be comfortable leaving without depositing a few problems in your lap.

1. In Section A I have added a Huntington article, plus a choice of Gilpatrick or Ginsburgh. The Gilpatrick one is preferable but we already have an article by him.

2. In Section B, the Blackett article on second thought may be dispensable. We could take care of it and similar problems by appending a brief list of supplementary suggested readings to each introductory section.

3. In Section C, I have offered a choice between Lindsay and Zawodny. The Lindsay article is more pertinent to concrete problems. The Zawodny is a more thoughtful and intellectually stimulating piece.

4. In Section D, I suggest dropping the Gallois piece. His point of view is covered by other contributions. Moreover, it might be simpler to restrict the participants to Americans. Otherwise why not also include a British and West German point of view.

With the suggested exclusions and alternatives the word count drops to 150,000.

An additional deletion might be the Enthoven article which is good but his content is covered by others of the included pieces.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Thank you for your notes and letters, which I will try to answer all at once:

1. **Letter from Hill and Wang (re Blackett's "Critique of ... Thinking")**
I've called them to tell them we are planning both a cloth and a paper edition; they are going to tell me directly what fee they will want us to pay. Meanwhile, you can tell them that you've turned the matter over to us, and that we look forward to hearing from them. You should also write to Oliver and Boyd to ask for Commonwealth and Canadian rights, altering the final paragraph of your form letter to read: "Since Praeger will publish PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL STRATEGY both in the United States and England, it will be necessary to have not only the American rights, which have been obtained from the American publisher Hill and Wang, but the Commonwealth and Canadian rights as well."

2. **Letter from New York Times (re Gilpatric, "An Expert ... Chiefs")**
As soon as you have Gilpatric's permission, you can tell the Times that you've gotten it, that you've turned the matter over to us, and that the proper credit line will be run.

3. **Letter from The American Scholar (re Zawodny's "Unconventional Warfare")**
When you get their second letter with Zawodny's approval, you can tell them that you've handed everything over to us, that we accept their terms and will proceed accordingly.

4. **Columbia University Press (re Rosecrance: "Dispersion of ... Weapons")**
You can reply that you've sent the letter to us, that we accept their terms, and will proceed accordingly.

5. **International Organization (re Bowie's "Strategy and ... Alliance")**
 ditto.

6. **American Political Science Association (re Huntington "Interservice....")**
 ditto.

7. **Foreign Affairs (re Ginsburgh's "Challenge to ... Professionalism"; Wohlstetter's "The Delicate Balance of Terror" and "Nuclear Sharings"; and Gilpatric, "Our Defense Needs")**
 ditto.

8. **Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (re Dyson's "Defense Against ... Misiles" and Szilard's "'Minimal Deterrent' vs. Saturation Parity")**
I see you've already answered this. In case they ask, we accept their terms and will proceed accordingly with both fees and credit lines.
