HARVARD DEFENSE STUDIES PROGRAM

*Memorandum*

FROM: Halperin

To: Kissinger

February 8, 1963

The description of the course would
still seem to fit our revised outline.
I could add a sentence that said

"The first semester will present an overview of these problems. In the second semester 2 or 3 particular problems in the field of military strategy and foreign policy will be discussed intensively."

In addition my name should be eliminated
from next year's bulletin. Should anyone
be added?

*Government 259. Defense Policy (Offered also by the Graduate School of Public Administration and by the Law School)

Full course. W., 4-6. Professor KISSINGER and Dr. HALPERIN. (IX)

This seminar deals with strategy and policy-making for United States national security. The central theme is the relationship of force and foreign policy in an age of accelerating technology and revolutionary developments in military science and world politics. Attention is divided between two main categories: (1) Policy-making and Organization, and (2) Military Strategy and Foreign Policy. Emphasis is placed upon both the substance of national security policy and the governmental process by which this policy is made. Under "Policy-making and Organization," the seminar is concerned with the following topics, among others: governmental institutions for integrating national policy, Department of Defense organization, the defense budgetary process, the role of Congress and the public in defense policy-making, and the role of intelligence in national decision making. Under "Military Strategy and Foreign Policy," the list of topics explored includes: strategic doctrine and foreign policy, NATO policy and arms control.

Permission of the instructor is required to take the course.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

In reference to our conversation today, I would like
to suggest the following speaker for next year's Defense
Policy Seminar:

Major General Edward G. Lansdale, USAF
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense
(Special Operations)

General Lansdale has spent many years in Southeast
Asia since the war, and was an advisor to both President
Magsaysay and President Diem. He would be an exceptional
speaker on guerrilla warfare and "wars of national
liberation."

Dear Professor Kissinger,

This will refer my letter of January 31st, to Dr. W. Barton Leach, concerning the Harvard Defense Studies Program. Dr. Leach has suggested me to contact you about this matter.

The Program was mentioned in the Magazine of the Air Force Association, in which I am a member.

I am particularly interested in this Program since I am a graduate of the Spanish Air Force Military Academy.

I desire to participate in it at Harvard, thinking to be able to make some contributions later.

Your advice on this respect would be much appreciated.

I would be pleased to provide you with whatever information, in addition to my personal history, if so required.

Thanking you at once for your attention and cooperation, I beg to remain, dear Sir,
