FROM: H.S.CRAIG

SUBJECT: "CHECK-OFF LIST"

Attached is a "check-off list" which we are using in the office
to make certain that there will be no slip-ups in the handling of the
papers from the time the paper is first commissioned until there is a
final position paper prepared for the Governor.

Would you be good enough to ask your secretary to follow those
items for you as indicated by "Principal" on the attached. Miss Doris
Thompson (or Miss Carol Ebert in her absence) is assuming responsibility
for Dr. Craig for the overall "check-off list," and your secretary may
work directly with her.

In the meantime, we are missing certain information regarding the
commissioning of papers, the authors, fees, and dates due. Miss
Thompson will be in touch with your secretary in this regard.

The "Outline of Study Papers" being mailed to you today provides
the basis for her discussion.

Dear Henry:

Do you enjoy stirring up hornets' nests?

MEMORANDUM

TO: THE GOVERNOR
FROM: H. S. Craig
SUBJECT: Visit of President Lleras Camargo of Colombia
REFERENCE: John Carter's memorandum to you dated March 18.
March 21, 1960

In connection with the visit of the President of Colombia to this country in the middle of April, and as a result of your suggestion to Mr. Friele that he and Stacy May and I should meet on the subject of what thoughts we might have on the subject of President Camargo's visit, the three of us met Thursday, the 17th of March, in Stacy May's office.

There was general agreement that any remarks that you might make about Latin American affairs should be couched in the framework of the Western Hemisphere rather than just South American countries. Stacy and Mr. Friele also felt that it might be wise briefly to review the history of the Organization of American States with the idea of making a further plea for more active participation in the O.A.S. of Latin American countries themselves.

Furthermore, you might pay tribute particularly to President Camargo himself as having a wide understanding of the Western Hemisphere's problems, as well as naming key Latin American figures who have contributed to the activities of the Pan American Union and of the Organization of American States. Any emphasis on the Pan American Union and O.A.S. should be approached from the idea of our operating on a joint basis - North America and South America.

It was further recommended as a result of this meeting of March 17th that you might jointly or separately have quiet talks with Adolph Berle, Frank Tannenbaum of Columbia University and General Arthur Trudeau - a close personal friend of mine who was formerly G-2 and who is particularly expert in Latin American affairs, from military and military security points of view. You already have a memorandum of March 18th from John Carter written at my instigation suggesting that it might be wise for you to talk to John Dreier of the State Department for an informal briefing before President Camargo's visit here. I brought this matter up with Mr. Carter because he is a personal friend of Mr. Dreier, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Latin American affairs.

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Leave of Absence for Paula von Haimberger

March 30, 1960

As I mentioned to you, Paula von Haimberger will be away for five weeks from April 18th to May 23rd, on an unpaid leave of absence. It is my understanding that both you and Dr. Kissinger are anxious to have Paula return to DNA. Could we confirm this in writing to Paula before she leaves in two weeks? My only concern is that if we don't give her our commitment, she will feel compelled to look now for another job she can count on at the end of May.

SUBJECT: Education for Leadership

Dear Henry:

This was a serious enterprise while it lasted. I am sending you a copy of this because I do not think you knew about this aspect of the OCB operation.

Nelson will probably read this when he returns from vacation.

MEMORANDUM

TO: THE GOVERNOR

March 31, 1960

FROM: H. S. Craig

SUBJECT: Further thoughts on Education for Leadership

The thought occurred to me while watching you on the program called "The Great Challenge" last week that possibly you may not have known about, or may have forgotten about, the use of the Operations Coordinating Board's staff as a training ground for certain persons in the State Department who were to go abroad in the post of Minister or Ambassador.

The late John Foster Dulles conceived of the idea in 1955 or 1956 that it would be a worthwhile experience to assign a potential State Department individual, who was going to be Minister to Rumania, to the OCB staff for a year prior to his departure to that country. The person to whom I am referring was Bob Thayer, who is not a career diplomat. We established in the OCB staff a working group - our Government language for committee - on the subject of economic, political and other problems in connection with Rumania and her existence as a country remote from the world of free enterprise. Mr. Thayer was designated as Chairman of that working group, which was comprised of a member from the Rumanian desk in the Department of State, a G-2 representative from the Rumanian desk in Army Intelligence, a member from the Rumanian desk in CIA (DDP), and a representative from USIA concerned with problems about Rumania.

By the time Mr. Thayer left for Rumania, he had had considerable experience in dealing with staff members, in accepting Intelligence estimates from me in my capacity as Intelligence Officer for OCB at that time, and in managing an almost unmanageable working group of disparate and unruly views on a very problematical area.

Mr. Thayer was very grateful for this experience and later performed very ably in his post as U. S. Minister in the area that he had had the opportunity to study in depth. His preparation for performance in that post also included training in the Rumanian language which he mastered very well and very quickly.

I might end this historical observation by saying, not facetiously, that it worked so well that the State Department promptly discontinued the exercise.
