Lieber Henry !

Als ich soeben aus USA, Paris, Genf und Stuttgart
nach Hause kam, fand ich Deinen Brief vom 27. Juni vor. Am
28. Juni hatte ich von der UN/New York aus angerufen und am
29. Juni nochmals in Washington selbst. Leider sagte mir beide
male Miss Drearus (Sp ?), daß es sehr schwierig sein würde
für Dich mich zu empfangen---was ich vollauf verstehe.

Da sie ja nicht informiert schien, darf ich kurz
nochmals wiederholen und Dich bitten, falls Du Interesse hast mich
telegraphisch zu verständigen. Am 6. Juli war der letzte
"pre-trial" Tag für die Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens betreffend
Prof. Hans Deutsch. Dr. Augstein, sein Advokat, berichtet mir, daß
der Pro zeß im Oktober mit fliegenden Fahnen gewonnen werden wird
und der BRD ein Vielfaches von einem Vergleich kosten wird. Aus
verschiedensten Gründen habe ich immer einen Vergleich angestrebt.
Bis 15. Juli des Jahres hat mir Prof. Deutsch auch die alleinige
Chance eingeräumt einen solchen zustande zu bringen. Er hat sich
sogar erwärmen laßen das Geld in diverse Stif tungszwecke zu
stecken, da er es selbst ja nicht benötigt. U.a. hätte er meine
Stiftung beschenken wollen. Da ich aber in der Weltgeschichte
keine Rolle spiele, sondern eher als Bauer hier lebe, dachte
ich, würde ich Dir das Geld zukommen laßen. Du hast eine einmalige
Chanze in der Zeitgeschichte und sollst dafür auch die unabhängigen
Mittel haben. Ich dachte dabei an eine Million Dollar. Ich muß
mich täuschen, wenn Brandt usw nicht einem Argument Deinerseits,
nämlich einen Vergleich anzustreben, sich verschlißen würde.
Die vielen Details, die sich um diese Geschichte ranken, hätte ich
Dir persönlich gerne auseinandergesetzt.

Nach dem 15. Juli übergibt Prof. Deutsch jenen Versuch
einem israelischen Staatsmann, der großen Einfluß in der BRD hat.
Die SPIEGEL Nummer ist bis nach dem oben erwähnten letzten "hearing"
verschoben worden. Ich sende Dir dann eine Kopie, sobald der Artikel
er scheint. Augstein selber will ihn schreiben und hat dafür all
das Material angefordert.

Es tut mir leid, wenn ich Dich mit dieser ganzen
Affaire belästigt haben sollte.

Im Juli haben wir Seminare hier. Im August besteht
eine leise Möglichkeit, daß ich kurz wieder nach USA muß. Im
Herbst soll ich wieder nach China (Du hast doch meine Karte aus
Peking erhalten ?). Zur UN Generalversammlung bin ich wieder in
New York. Vielleicht ergibt sich einmal ein Wiedersehen. Hätte
ich von Deinem köstlichen Abend mit Lord K. in Salzburg geahnt,
wäre ich sicherlich dazu gestoßen.

Mit herzlichen Grüßen,

Gwen King in Mrs. Nixon's office called re correspondence to Mrs. Nixon from Dr. Louise Yim who is associated with Chung-Ang University in Seoul, Korea. Mrs. Nixon has corresponded with Dr. Yim over the years. In Dr. Yim's most recent letter, she mentions that Chung-Ang University is offering the Peace Award to Mr. Kissinger. Could we let Mrs. King know if Hak is going to respond in anyway.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Our panel of judges composed of distinguished statemen, politicians, scholars, and civic leaders unanimously voted to present you as a candidate for the First Peace Award of Louise Academy in recognition of your brilliant contributions to the world peace.

The Award is scheduled for presentation on October 11, 1972 at Chung-ang University, however, the time and date can be adjusted to suit your convenience. It carries the cash award of One Million Won (US$2,500) plus a pure gold medal bearing the portrait of Dr. Louise Yim.

The Louise Academy was established in 1968 by the friends and admirers of Dr. Louise Yim, Korea's Joan de Arc, to perpetual her immortal patriotic deeds, her lofty educational ideals and accomplishments, her vital contributions to the establishment of the Republic of Korea Government, her leading role in the women's liberation movement, and her brilliant contribution to the world peace through the promotion of cultural exchange with other friendly nations.

You are indeed the symbol of the teaching profession who have demonstrated in action the translation of academic theories into practice. As such you have immensely uplifted the prestige of the teaching profession to the world community.

We are proud to present you as the First Candidate for the Peace Award of Louise Academy. On behalf of the Faculties and Students of Chung-ang University, I salute you for your unprecedented contributions to the building of peace on our earth so coveted and talked about but nothing much has done.

We shall appreciate hearing from you soon as to your wishes on this sincere proposal of ours.

LOS ANGELES -- Twelve nominees for the title of "America's Most Sensuous Man" have been selected by members of the Frasier (the Sensuous Lion) Fan Clubs, it has been announced by Mrs. Marilyn Arcoli, of Los Angeles, president of the nationwide organization.

The winner will be determined by popular vote, Mrs. Arcoli said, with selected newspaper columnists and radio-tv personalities conducting the poll.

Awaiting "America's Most Sensuous Man" will be The Golden Frasier, a trophy sculpted in the likeness of Lion Country Safari's recently-deceased lion who sired 33 cubs in a 16-month span. The winner will be announced later this year.

"The nominees have been chosen for their sheer sensuality and animal magnetism, regardless of age," said Mrs. Arcoli, who added that Frasier Fan Clubs are blossoming throughout the country.

In alphabetical order, she said, the men chosen for the 1972 tribute are: Bill Ballance, Kirk Douglas, Merv Griffin, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Dean Martin, Ricardo Montalban, Paul Newman, Burt Reynolds, Cesar Romero, Doc Severinson, Rudy Vallee and Flip Wilson.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

We are truly sorry that you were unable to
participate in the AMVETS Silver Helmet Awards program on
Saturday evening March 25.

Those attending were certainly disappointed at
your inability to be physically present to receive the AMVETS
Silver Helmet Peace Award. Apologies for your absence were
very capably handled by Mr. Bill Rh Vatican, Staff Assistant to
the President.

I would like to request a time and place for the
National Commander to make a formal presentation of the Award.
Also, I cordially invite you to be our guest at the Commander's
Banquet during our 28th Annual National Convention. The Banquet
is scheduled for Saturday evening August 26 at the Jung Hotel in
New Orleans, Louisiana.

With kindest personal regards, I remain,

Dear Mr. Kreisky:

Thank you for your letter of August 28. I am honored that you would propose me for the "Lieber Augustin," and wish that my life were certain enough for me to tell you that I could be there.

Unfortunately, while in my present position, the official demands on my time are too numerous and frequently too unexpected for me to commit myself for this date this far in advance.

I would be greatly pleased and, again, honored if this chance ever presented itself again in the hopefully less hectic future.

Vienna, August 28, 1972

My dear Mr. Kissinger,

In Vienna there exists a "Bruderschaft vom Lieben Augustin" which is organised by the "Wiener Faschingsgesellschaft" and makes annual awards. Winners of the "Lieber Augustin" include former Chancellor Gorbach, Franz Josef Strauß, Mayor Hans-Jochen Vogel of Munich, famous actors such as Marika Rökk, Johannes Heesters, Elfriede Ott and several others including myself.

As the "order against beastly seriousness" has not been awarded during the last two years the "Lieber Augustin" is the last remaining award of this kind in Europe.

The organizers have asked me to nominate a candidate for the 1973 award and to make the nomination-speech at the ceremony which takes place on February 9th 1973 at the Hofburg in Vienna.

I have thought of you and would now like to know whether you could be able and willing to accept. Traditionally, there is a number of

Dear Barnee:

Word has reached the White House that Henry Kissinger will be honored as the target of opportunity at your luncheon today. I congratulate you and him and I sincerely trust that both you and he will survive the experience.

On reflection, I can think of no one who is more qualified or more deserving of the special brand of attention which only the Saints and Sinners can provide.

I would only urge that you treat him with the same degree of respect and consideration that you have shown to others of us who have shared this unique experience in the past.

I send my best wishes to you, and all your members and guests. I wish I could be with you to enjoy the fun.

Sehr verehrter Herr Professor!
Lieber Landsmann!

Mit verbindlichstem Dank bestätige ich den Empfang Ihrer gefl.
Schreiben vom 4.August und 21. September. Wie ich sehe, haben
Sie meine concerns richtig verstanden.
Sie dürfen überzeugt sein, daß wir wissen und fühlen, daß die
amerikanische Welt nicht auf Kosen gebettet ist. Ich bitte mir
zu erlauben zwei Artikel aus dem Bayern Kurier (Organ der bayer.
Christlich Sozialen Union des Herrn Franz Josef Strauß) Nr. 39
vom 23. ds beizulegen, deren einer " Der Wahlkampf usw." Ihren
Brief vom 21. ds. in etwa bestätigt. Wir rechnen mit der Mehrheit
unseres Volkes, lieber Herr Landsmann, daß Sie für Herrn Nixon
die Wahl gewinnen. Auch die Wahl zum Bundestag am 19.November
wird zweifellos stark beeinflußt sein vom Ausgang der Wahl des
Präsidenten in den USA. Sollte wider Erwarten Mc.Govern siegen,
„ würde alles ohnedies anders laufen " und auch für Europa er-
gäben sich Fragen, auf die heute schon die Antwort schwer fällt -
wie Herr Emil Mühlberger am Ende seiner Betrachtung schreibt.

Zur Zeit bleibt nichts anderes zu tun als abzuwarten, welches
Ergebnis die beiden wahlen im November zeitigen.

Es gehört zu allem ein quäntchen "Glück", sehr verehrter Herr Landsmann und Professor, auch zur Goldenen Bürgermedaille der Stadt Fürth. Ich bin überzeugt, daß am Ende alles gut hinausgehen wird. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob Sie zwei oder drei Wochen früher oder später in Ihre bayerische Heimatstadt Fürth kommen werden.

SUBJECT: AMVETS Silver Helmet Award

Dr. Kissinger would like to personally accept the AMVETS Silver Helmet award. Given the uncertainty in his schedule, however, it is not possible to set a firm time for acceptance now. Dick Campbell is working with the AMVETS to set up a firm time to present the award sometime after the termination of the current round of Vietnam negotiations.

SUBJECT: AMVETS Silver Helmet Award

The American Veterans of Foreign Wars want to give HAK their "Silver Helmet" award which is given annually for the cause of world peace (Tab C). Last year Henry was unable to accept and the AMVETS want to make a personal presentation this year.

Given the uncertainty with Henry's schedule, I recommend you send the attached note (Tab A) to Bill Rhatholic (Chuck Colson's staff) asking him to contact Dick Campbell to set a time.

If you decide it is not feasible to fit this award into HAK's schedule, a note to that effect is at Tab B.

SUBJECT: Doctor Kissinger and the AMVETS

A year ago the AMVETS gave Doctor Kissinger their highest award, the "Silver Helmet" which he was unable to accept personally because he was out of the country. Now the AMVETS would like to present the "Silver Helmet" to Doctor Kissinger personally at his earliest convenience. The "Silver Helmet" award is given for the cause of world peace. Considering your recent activities and those of Doctor Kissinger, it might be appropriate for that presentation to take place shortly.

SUBJECT: Dr. Kissinger

Henry Kissinger has promised for some time to accept personally the Silver Helmet Award by the AMVETS. It was initially scheduled for their Awards Dinner last Spring and I stood in for Kissinger. It was later indicated he might go to their Convention in New Orleans last month and that, too, fell through. Would you please try to schedule Dr. Kissinger for about 10 minutes so that they can come in and make the presentation to him. It is very important to this group.

Thank you.

Attached is a schedule of events for the evening of December 7. I believe everything is self-explanatory but don't hesitate to call concerning any details which may still be ambiguous.

Mr. Kissinger will be seated on the dais between Mr. Pace and Ambassador Bush, both of whom he knows well already. Mr. Tom Shepard, who will escort Mr. Kissinger, was publisher of Look magazine for many years and is now President of Outdoor Advertising Association. He resides in Connecticut. Mr. Hugh Bullock, who is also on the dais, is President of the Bullock Fund and is in investment banking.

I have a couple of questions for you which we can discuss perhaps in more detail on the phone. For seating purposes we would like to know whether the security people will be seated at one table or scattered about the room and how many we should plan to serve. Also whether Mr. Kissinger wishes to stay at the Plaza Hotel that evening, or return to Washington, and whether he will want a limousine to meet him anywhere.

We will be in touch concerning other details as they come up.

Dear Henry,

It is a great pleasure to advise you that the National Institute of Social Sciences has voted unanimously to award you the Gold Medal of the Institute in recognition of your distinguished services to humanity. The purposes of the Institute, which was founded in 1865, are to bring together men and women who share an abiding interest in the cultural and spiritual values of American life and who have in some substantial way contributed to the maintenance of such values. Each year the Institute recognizes three or four individuals whose efforts in these fields have been truly distinguished. It is to invite you to accept this recognition that I write you today.

The award will be made on the occasion of our Gold Medal Awards Dinner which will be held in the Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel on Thursday, December 7, 1972. The Medal of the Institute cannot be awarded in absentia; we would very much appreciate your advising us at your earliest convenience whether you will be able to accept. Incidentally, only members of the Institute and their guests may attend this dinner, and the quality of the audience is exceptional. Enclosed are brochures of the proceedings of a few of our past dinners. These will give you an idea of the stature of the recipients as well as the format. I look forward with pleasure to your company at the Institute's Dinner on December 7th.

COCKTAILS 6:30 O'CLOCK

DINNER PROMPTLY AT 8 O'CLOCK

TICKETS

Ticket prices are all-inclusive – $30.00 per person for Cocktails and Dinner (including wine). All gratuities are included.

Please notify the Institute on the enclosed card at the earliest possible date of the number of seats you wish reserved.

Tickets to the dinner will be mailed upon receipt of your check drawn to the order of the National Institute of Social Sciences.

ANNUAL DINNER, 1969

The Annual Dinner of the National Institute of Social Sciences was held in the Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel on the evening of November 20, 1969 at eight o'clock. The President, Mr. Frank Pace, Jr., presided.

Mr. Pace called upon Father Theodore M. Hesburgh to give the blessing.
**Father Hesburgh:** It's blue and green and white and beautiful, and somehow when you see it up close it doesn't look quite so well as when you see it from a distance. That's not Your fault; it's ours. We've been too blind to Your vision and too resistant to Your grace. But we ask tonight that this company, powerful as it is, with great enthusiasm and hope and dedication to the spiritual and human part of man's existence on earth might somehow make this earth somewhat more consonant with Your vision for it, when You created it, and saw it good.

Bless us, bless our families, bless the good motions that have brought us together this evening and bless our good earth, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

**President:** Ladies and Gentlemen, I think this for all of us is an exciting evening. We've come to expect NISS evenings to be outstanding and I believe tonight will prove to be no exception. I'm pleased to tell you that geographically we have members here from Los Angeles, from Indiana in the Heartland and from Georgia and Florida in the South, and so I should tell the membership of the NISS that there is an America West of the Hudson, and we're now part of it (Applause).

As you all know, one of my great concerns in the NISS is the feeling that we have a real role to play in the great problem that has been, and is being created by the enormous advance of the physical sciences and by the fact that the social sciences have basically stood still. In this world, which so clearly has been revolutionized by technological change in twenty years, man's understanding of himself and his capacity to extend his own personal, as opposed to his technical, capabilities, have been indeed limited. In fact, for those of us who are troubled, one wonders whether man is really master of his own environment.

I have said to the NISS members before that we have in the past done a wonderful job of identifying special qualities in the social sciences, holding that up as an example to the young of what they might do in this critically important field, but in the activist society in which we are living today this is not enough. Since we last met there have been stirrings. Scarely a week passes without reading of those who have a sense that man must find a way to orient himself to a world so affected by technology. Further, I'm happy to say that for the first time in the history of our country, there is a social scientist on the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, Dr. Lee DuBridge, the distinguished former head of Cal Tech.

In addition, the National Science Foundation, in one of the most carefully reasoned discussions of the problem, has come up with a very pragmatic approach to establishing benchmarks in the social sciences. There has been a report, and a very thoughtful report indeed, to a Congressional Committee on how the benefits of technology, which have been addressed so strongly in the past to the military and economic fields, could find application in the equally important area of the social and political fields.

4

At the last Annual Meeting I was granted the authority to establish a committee that would examine what our NISS might actively contribute in this whole field. Because of the quality and dedication of our membership, I hope that a meaningful role can be found.

And, as our membership has grown both geographically, experience-wise and contribution-wise, I think we as a special group have a real part to play in what I see as one of the great surges of the Seventies, and that is the forward thrust of research in the field of developing man's capability to understand and manage himself. So, I will be moving forward in the days ahead both to establish that committee and to come before the National Institute with specific recommendations as to what we might do.

Tonight our purpose is to honor four very distinguished persons who have in their own special way contributed vitally to the social sciences. I don't believe in my happy and fascinating experience with the National Institute that I have really had either so vital a group or so disparate a group while still relating to the standards that we have established.

We have in our audience tonight five former Gold Medalists. It is my plan to recommend to the Annual Meeting that all former Gold Medalists become life honorary members of the Institute. I think we've failed in not adding their quality to the distinction of this membership, and so I would like for us to recognize tonight Mrs. Marie Bullock, Mrs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Dr. Gilbert Darlington, Dr. Ralph Sockman and General Charles Lindbergh who are in our midst tonight as our former medalists. (Applause).

We have in later years in the National Institute always chosen to recognize a woman. Recently I saw that remarkable opus produced by Sir Kenneth Clark for television called Civilization, and I urge it on you if you have not had an opportunity to see it. I was pleased to find that he said that those civilizations which found a proper blend of masculine and feminine qualities contributed far more to the advancement of man than those civilizations that had a purely masculine quality. So, Sir Kenneth obviously recognizes the value of the path that the National Institute has established.

## THE MEDAL TO
BARBARA WARD JACKSON

If one wants a thoroughly enjoyable evening, arrange to be placed near Lady Jackson. I could not have enjoyed the evening more and as we reviewed the history of the National Institute it was fascinating to know that her only non-U.S. predecessors were Madame Curie and Madame Chiang Kai-shek. I believe the latter was recognized in 1943.

We have in our own country many distinguished women of letters and rare talents, and therefore it is seldom that we reach outside our country to honor someone who is not native born. Yet I believe we have been wise in selecting Lady Jackson because, although she is a citizen of Great Britain (and for me it is always a privilege to recognize what that remarkable country has contributed both to the world and to us), she also has strong ties that bind her to us. Currently, she is on assignment to our own Columbia University, where she lectured up until six tonight. In the broadest sense, we honor her because she's a citizen of the world.

Her remarkable pen, her keen wit, her deep and abiding logic have caused

5

her to identify the Christian principle as applying to nations as well as men,
that the strong must help the weak, not only because it is in their self-
interest, but because it is their moral responsibility to do so.

She is not a visionary or a writer of loose phrases. She's lived the problem.
She's been there. She's identified with the people and she has come up with
understanding that she has been able to communicate to the world. And so to
join a company of talented, charming and gracious ladies who have
contributed both to this country and to the world, we are privileged to have
Lady Jackson with us tonight. Lady Jackson, would you rise?

The National Institute of Social Sciences, Gold Medal Award, 1970;
the Medal to Barbara Ward Jackson, for distinguished service to
humanity.

Learned economist, spirited lecturer, gifted writer. Your thoughts
and words have enlightened both scholar and statesman, but more than
that, you have made your talent an instrument to stir the conscience of
countries whose values are uncertain, and whose wealth is unchanged.
You have made both vivid and meaningful the obligations of power and
the consequences of ignoring the powerless.

With eloquent argument, with passionate reason, you have awakened
in the citizens of the world an awareness of the responsibility of nations
(Applause). For this, Barbara Ward Jackson, you have earned the Gold
Medal of the National Institute of Social Sciences (Applause).

## ACCEPTANCE BY BARBARA WARD JACKSON

I am very touched, Mr. Chairman and friends gathered here, that you
should honor me in this way. But I am also exceedingly touched by
some of the circumstances of this evening. Here we have in this room
with us an extraordinary symbol of the way in which our world has
changed. General Lindbergh who was the hero of my youth battled in
his Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic while we held our breath for
him, just as, last year we held our breath for Colonel Borman. One
crossed the Atlantic, the other went round the moon. This surely is the
most incredible symbol for our human imagination of what is
happening to this planet. Here we have, in less then a life time — I hope,
after all, to live a little longer — this absolutely fantastic change in our
global relationships, in the distances we cover, in the degree to which
we have conquered every kind of physical limitation to our soaring
flight.

We have seen from the moon the little Atlantic that General
Lindbergh crossed and it seemed no broader than even half one's
fingernail. We saw the entire planet as it really is — incredibly small,
infinitely vulnerable, very beautiful with the weather systems wrapped
round it — as they were wrapped dangerously round the Spirit of St.
Louis — and as precious and vivid and full of life as the Creation of
which, on the far side of the moon, Colonel Borman read us the
account in Genesis — a world God looked on and found good.

What are we doing with this precious Creation? We know perfectly
well what we are doing. We are spending nearly 180 billion dollars every
year on preparations to blow it up. Here on this planet, so small, so
vulnerable, our only home in the whole of infinite space, we are

6

devoting to the potential destruction of our fellow men a growing part
of the wealth that our intelligence makes possible. Our general overall
wealth grows by 5% a year. But the amount that we have been spending
on the arms race, with its risk of planetary annihilation is growing by
10% a year. These are the figures. Do they not suggest that we need, in
the cry of King Lear, "to sweeten our imagination"?

It seems that the chief message we have for our fellow man is to say:
if you are not careful, we will blow you up. Of course, we know the
problems, we know the ideological difficulties, the tribal divisions. Yet
the fact remains that this shining, single planet has, as one of its major
preoccupations, how to annihilate itself. Should not this shocking fact
be a central concern of all earth's citizens? And if we do not find it
shocking, may we not be headed for irreversible disaster?

What I would like to suggest is some way in which we can lessen this
tragic fatality. Part of the reason for our destructiveness lies in the
simple fact that, at very deep layers of our psyche, we are frightened.
This is a millienial fright going back to millions of years of battling to
survive on tiny clearings of land beset by wild beast and wild neighbors.
The love that held the tribe together turned to protective hate against
the stranger. We know this. We have carried this primitivism right into
the era of total planetary unity and total nuclear destructiveness. If we
make no new psychological effort, the "old Adam" will carry us on
right over the brink of the final Armageddon.

But we are not inevitably bound by fear. As free and rational human
beings, we can deliberately choose to love and trust. We can begin to
behave as though other human beings on this planet were not the
equivalent of sabre-toothed tigers and that policies designed not to
destroy them but to build them up might, just possibly, arouse in them
an answering trust.

This is not utopian. Inside our own domestic society we have in
many fields abandoned the thesis of universal enmity. We have given up
duels and abandoned the vendetta. We have set up systems for due
process of law and arbitration. We spend money on our neighbors'
education and health. We try to give them an equal chance. All this is
simply ununderstandable to the New Guinea villager who lives in one of
seven thousand villages with seven thousand languages and seven
thousand headhunting teams. That citizenship can be felt between 200
million or 500 million Indians is as unlikely to the New Guinean as
world citizenship is to us. Yet we have seen the true scale of our planet.
We know the interdependence of our single "biosphere". We have
mastered universal communication. To stay, now, in a world of enemies
is in fact as anchronistic as a headhunting New Guinean village. No, it is
worse for we hunt our heads in nuclear megadeaths.

The needed Copernican Revolution is therefore for the citizens of
this planet to give trust and love a chance and reconsider the blind
politics of fear. This is not an abstract attitude. It means overwhelming
citizen backing for the SALT talks and overwhelming citizen rejection
of the next ludicrous round in the arms race whereby through ABM and
MIRV and whatever else is cooking on the back stove of military
research, the planet, expensively insecure today at twenty times
overkill, will become even more expensively insecure at 100 times

7

(w)

overkill – one might have thought that once was enough.

It means devoting to the welfare of the coming planetary society at least a tithe of our present spending on tearing it apart. Admittedly there may be a risk in spending $10 billions, the equivalent of one percent of our America's total goods and services (our gross national product) on education and housing and new hybrid seeds and dams and power plants round the world. But, for the life of me, I cannot see how this compares with the risk of spending nearly $80 billions on ever more elaborate costly and lethal ways of ending the human experiment.

So I say, let us take the risk. Let us behave as though men were friends and brothers. Let us work for the institutions of orderly justice. Let us contribute our share to the general welfare. Let us steadily and judiciously reduce our outpourings on overkill. And let us finally have the confidence that if we behave a little more as though we were God's children, He will Himself help us to become so in spirit and in truth.

I repeat, this is the Copernican Revolution. This change from hate to love is something we as citizens can help to accomplish. This is what we can demand. If we do, then possibly when these medals are given twenty years from now, they will be given to celebrate not the hope of planetary peace but the reality. Men and women will be rewarded who have worked in this field and who will have shown that a planetary society is not only physically a fact but workable, livable, exciting, and, in fact, achieved.

And, if you ask me, I would say of the young people that they ask one thing above all of adult society – to put away the works of fear and to begin the works of construction or, as I would rather say, the works of love. If we can do this, this planet will survive. If not, I wonder. (Applause)

## THE MEDAL TO
### COLONEL FRANK BORMAN, USAF

President: Now we turn to another facet that the National Institute has chosen to honor tonight. In many ways, Colonel Frank Borman represents a departure from past practice of the NISS, and I think a wise departure.

I haven't done a complete job of research, but I think if you will review the distinguished names that grace our list, it will probably be true that Colonel Borman is the youngest man that the NISS has ever honored. In a day and age when the young are playing a more compelling part in our national life, it is well that the National Institute begin to recognize those who are achieving at a young age.

Secondarily, Colonel Borman's life has been tied more directly to the physical sciences than the social sciences. He has grown up in a world in which the physical sciences were a daily order of magnitude. Yet the reason that we honor Colonel Borman is not because of his association with the physical sciences but because of a special capacity that he had to humanize a voyage that related more to machinery than man.

The millions who watched his flight in orbit and heard his voice from space felt that no matter how great and effective the instrumentation we

8

developed, it still needed to be guided and controlled by human beings whose freedom of thought and judgment in the long run were the key requirement of this operation. In talking to General Lindbergh tonight, he said that possibly the biggest test was the test that Frank Borman and his crew faced in preparing for the flight. We tend to think of landing on the moon as a finite result, and end to be achieved, but like all other things, glamorous and unglamorous, the slow, hard, steady, undramatic preparation is what made the end result so remarkable.

His great qualities are ambience with people, sensitivity to humanity and its needs and requirements, and identification of a human personality with one of the great performances of our time. Tonight we've departed from tradition because historically the National Institute of Social Sciences has recognized only those who have already made unique contributions to the social sciences. That has not yet happened to Colonel Frank Borman but it was the judgment of your Medals Committee that it would come to be and so we've moved from identifier to prognosticator. It's our belief that this young man has a sense of responsibility to pay back for his great American opportunity. It's our belief that he has the talents to take advantage of that sense of responsibility. It's our belief that one day our judgment that his contribution in the social sciences will be vindicated. It is because we have in this relatively young man a combination of courage, understanding, human sensitivity and a recognition of responsibility with the privileges that come with being an American, we have chosen to honor him tonight. (Applause)

The National Institute of Social Sciences, Gold Medal Award, 1969; the Medal to Frank Borman, for distinguished service to humanity.

We are gathered in the presence of history, we stand in the company of courage. The incredible technology that thrust you beyond our world cannot lessen your individual contribution to an event that so altered the lives of us all, nor can the great scientific adventure in which you extended the reach of man equal for us the moments in which you expanded the human spirit.

Your faith in a few ancient words reached back and touched the earth in time, and the earth and her multitudes were one. You have shown us how far we have come and how far we have yet to go. For the vision you offer, for the views you hold, we honor you. (Applause).

So for this, Colonel Borman, you are awarded the Gold Medal of the National Institute of Social Sciences.

## ACCEPTANCE BY COLONEL FRANK BORMAN, USAF

Mr. Pace, and fellow honorees, ladies and gentlemen:

I am, of course, deeply honored and I am grateful to Father Hesburgh for translating the latin on the medal for me earlier this evening. (Laughter).

I am sure you all recognize the fact that I am especially honored by this award, primarily because my whole productive life has been spent in the pursuit of engineering and aviation, and yet, in a very real sense, I have always found the physical sciences limiting. Phrases such as "pure science" or "technology for technology's sake" have meant little to me in the past twenty years.

I firmly believe that engineering and physical sciences, after all, are

9

merely extensions of man's intellect, and must be used for the benefit of all mankind. The argument is often heard today that technology is out-stripping man's capability to adjust to the rapid changes it affords. I would dispute this thesis. I submit to you that man today adjusts so rapidly to technological advances that the sinews of society are strained.

A case in point that I would like to submit is that of a television set. Certainly people of all ages have readily adapted to its presence in the living room, and although I do not believe that the full impact of television is really known yet, I personally doubt that the creativity of our youth or the understanding of our adults is much enhanced by the uniformly mediocre programming of the media of today. (Applause)

My purpose is not to criticize the television industry — I would be getting into the Vice-President's field if I did that — (Laughter)

Nor do I question television's social impact, which is great. The point is this: the products of technology and the uses to which they are put in a free society mirror the state of society itself. Our freedom-loving, but peaceful people will devote a great deal of their productivity to the development of weapons of war, as Lady Jackson has just pointed out. This is especially true if they are convinced that their freedom is threatened. As the threat, either actual or supposed, diminishes, the cry will arise as it is arising today in this country, that the efforts of the scientists and the engineers be re-directed.

Now a thoughtful person would agree, I am sure, with this conclusion, but he would add that this has always been so, and so it has. But today there is a not-too-subtle difference. The tools provided by the modern engineer and scientist are infinitely more powerful than those of a generation ago. Indeed, the technical questions of our time are phrased in terms of "How Much?" or "How Long?" — not anymore — "Is it Possible?" I think that a good example of this is the fact that this country in the past eleven months has mounted, not one, but four trips to the moon.

Certainly this is some indication of the status of the development of our technology. But the awesome power of this technical tool undeniably terrifies many of our social scientists. I personally think that this fear is without foundation. For the past ten years, I have been directly involved in the forefront of technology. I have never seen human beings subjugated or dismayed by the machines that they use. Our thoughts, when we were circling the moon in the Apollo 8, were not of the futility of life in the computer age, but of the beautiful blue earth and of the dedicated people who had sent us on our voyage of 240,000 miles.

Far from being a curse, technology, properly applied, offers humanity its only chance to preserve the dignity of human life. Now, the key phrase — obviously as you all recognize — in the preceding sentence is — "Properly Applied." For even as technology is supplying the most powerful weapons in man's quest for a meaningful existence, the problems besetting society undeniably are more complex now than ever before. I think it is important that we realize that for the first time, perhaps in history, we can actually consider the future in terms of ABSOLUTES.

IO

It takes only a casual knowledge of mathematics, for instance, to
realize that if man is to survive at all, he must begin to limit the number
of his offspring at once. Medical science has provided the means, but it
remains to be seen if these will be used in time.

The question that I most often hear today, however, in this age of
space travel, is "What is it like up there?" I invariably answer, "It is not
much different than right down here." But in reality there is one great
difference — and it is a difference of perspective. When you are
privileged to view the earth from afar, as those of us who have flown
to the moon have been privileged, when you can hold out your thumb
and cover the entire earth with your thumbnail, you realize that we are
really — all of us in this room, and all of us around the world — crew
members on the space-station, earth.

Of all of the accomplishments of technology, I honestly believe that
the most significant one was the one picture of the earth over the lunar
horizon. I think that if it does nothing else, it should impress our
fellowman with the absolute fact that our environment is bounded, that
our resources are limited, that our life support system is a closed cycle,
and of course, when this space station, earth, is viewed from 240,000
miles away, only its beauty, its minuteness, and its isolation in the
blackness of space are apparent.

A traveler from some far planet would not know that the size of the
crew is already too large and threatening to expand, that the breathing
system is rapidly becoming polluted, that the water supply is in danger
of contamination — with everything from DDT to raw sewage — or that
the crew members, again as Lady Jackson pointed out so eloquently,
are fractionalized; they are discordant, and they possess the weapons to
destroy the entire ship.

Now, those older crew members — and perhaps there are some
among you — will answer — "Yes, this is the way it has been and it will
always be so." I do not believe that that answer will suffice today. I
think the view from the moon has doomed it. Now that technology has
given us a look at ourselves as we really are, perhaps the strange forces
that constitute social and political action will combine to focus the
forces of science to preserve this beautiful 'space station' of ours.

This afternoon in my room as I read over the remarks that I had
prepared, I thought that you might accuse me of attributing too much
importance to technology and too little to social science. So, I thought
that since I had really stated to you that technology has proposed two
things, I had better clarify that. First of all, it has defined the problem.
It has pointed out to all of us that "we are riders on the earth
together," as Archibald Macleish so eloquently stated. And secondly,
during the past few years, it has pointed out that it can solve the great
physical problems of today and tomorrow.

So if I have assumed too great a role for science, let me reassure you
that I fully recognize that the one great variable in the model of today's
world is the INDIVIDUAL himself. The current question is whether or
not we can successfully *convince* the individual of the absolute nature
of today's challenge. For in the final analysis, it is the individual human
being that *must* be served. No scientific discovery, no trip to some
uncharted planet will ever rival in magnificence the divine spirit that

11

rests in the soul of each crew member on this spaceship, earth.

Thank you very much. (Applause)

President: Beautifully said, Colonel Borman. It was my hope tonight that you who have so superbly conducted yourself in the technological field, could identify a bridge with the social sciences. I think you clearly have. I think you have given each its place, and you have identified that they are in no sense antithetical, that they can walk hand in hand, and that your experience leads you to believe that they should walk hand in hand.

## THE MEDAL TO
FATHER THEODORE M. HESBURGH

President: Our third honoree tonight is Father Theodore Hesburgh. Father Hesburgh, graduate of Notre Dame, possessor of as many honorary degrees as almost any American, has headed for some time that great University. He has provided leadership in a period when the presidency of universities anywhere is difficult at best. He has found somewhere that rare capacity to support the necessary discipline in the university system and still retain the human relationship that's essential between the students, the faculty and the president.

He found that in a time when others have struggled and failed. He has done so in a way that has won the admiration of both his fellow leaders in the college field and the American people as a whole. And this comes from a very clear fact. It comes from the fact that there is in Father Hesburgh that craggy integrity, that sure sense of decency, that basic sense of right that you yearn for in the men who hold positions of importance in our country.

More than that, he has something that is equally important and in even lesser supply. He has the capacity to project that integrity. Because of the nature of the man, because of the quality of his life, the importance and acceptability of what he says is italicized and underlined.

Dean Acheson used a phrase in describing the man whom I possibly admired most in my public life, George Catlett Marshall. The phrase was, "Moral Grandeur". That is not a phrase to be treated lightly, or to be used carelessly and I do not do so. In my judgment that phrase adequately describes Father Hesburgh. Father Hesburgh. (Applause)

The National Institute of Social Sciences Gold Medal Award, 1969; the Medal to Theodore M. Hesburgh, for distinguished service to humanity.

Few of us act out our lives in the service of humanity. Few of us exercise the discipline of love or evidence the freedom of order. Your singular influence for good in our society is based on the strength of simple precepts. Men must learn to look beyond honesty to truth. Learn not only to provide the answers, but to raise the questions. Learn to search themselves and in the seeking find the order and moral values they ask of mankind.

You have taught us that learning is not scholarship alone but kinship with fellow human beings. A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. You continue to kindle our faith in

12

the goodness of man. And for this, Father Hesburgh, the National
Institute of Social Sciences has awarded you its Gold Medal.

## ACCEPTANCE BY FATHER THEODORE M. HESBURGH

President Pace, Fellow Honorees, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:

On a similar occasion a friend of mine once said, "I wish my mother were here, she'd really believe all of this." (Laughter)

But I must say in all honesty, because that's one of the words you underlined, Frank, that no one of us is good enough for all of the good that is done to us in our lifetime and I appreciate deeply the honor as I'm sure my fellow honorees do, of joining the distinguished company of the National Institute of Social Sciences.

I think tonight is a kind of very special occasion. The flow of thought and meditation is fairly consistent, and I'd like to keep that consistency if I could. I remember a social scientist who died in this town. He was an anthropologist. He was a Frenchman. He was a Jesuit. His name is Teilhard de Chardin and with whatever other qualities he had, he had one deep quality of optimism about this world. He didn't have the chance that Colonel Borman had of seeing it from afar but I think he sensed it, and he always thought of the world as going upward and onward, not just physically but in its human component.

He used to talk about the flow and rhythm of evolution and he talked about the millions of years in which a great envelope was created around the world, which he called the biosphere, the sphere of life, and how each forward step had to be transmitted slowly and meticulously through the genes. A claw for getting food, a wing for flying, a fin for swimming. As each new forward motion was evolved it had to be genetically transmitted to the coming generation.

And then he said, "Man came along." And man had a quality of reflecting upon himself and his thoughts and man began to create something that did not have to be translated to the coming generations genetically but through the sphere of the mind. Man began to create, especially after the help of the Phoenicians in finding consonants that could be written down, and the help of the Greeks in finding the vowels that go with them — man began to create what Teilhard de Chardin called the noosphere, coming from the Greek word, nous, meaning mind. The whole sphere of the mind, the whole splendor of man's intelligent creation, which is all of culture and all of art and all of science and all of technology and all of literature and all of drama, all of the greatest of great heritages that has come and flown from the imagination and intelligence of mankind.

It doesn't matter where man was born or what his color was, or what age he happened to live in, all great men have contributed to this noosphere, and this noosphere is in a sense the greatest and most important human heritage of every human being born on earth.

The sad thing is, and here I think I can rejoin the thought of Barbara Ward and Colonel Borman, that if you look around the world today roughly half of the people in the world are functionally illiterate and are simply cut off from this greatest of human heritages, the noosphere,

13

the total cultural, artistic, intelligent creation of mankind that has gone
before us. And, for half of all the human beings on earth, human
dignity is a pretty poor thing because that in which their potentialities
might be most greatly evolved in their contacts with the great thoughts
of all time and the great yearnings of all time and the great hopes and
the great history, the mistakes and the failures and the ups and the
downs and the sadness and the joys, these do not exist for them.

All of this is cut off from them and their world is like the world that
Colonel Borman saw. It's a little tiny, restricted world. It's the world of
the village, the world of the hut in which they live. And you might ask
yourself, if this is the lot for over a billion people on earth today, and
there'll probably be something like six billion at the turn of the
century, whatever we do about population, what is going to be the
world that stretches out ahead of us in the year 2,000?

What is going to be the nature and dignity and quality of life for
human beings if they are cut off from this greatest of all man's human
patrimony on earth? The total patrimony of the noosphere? And I
think perhaps that Colonel Borman and his associates have led the way
and Barbara Ward has provided the vision and imagination and Lester
Pearson has written the strong document that says that this is
something that we must do. We must do something about this world in
which we live today, we who have the power and the wealth and the
possibility of doing it.

And you may say, how does Colonel Borman get in the act? And I
say he's in the center of the act, because the fact is today with the
space program, with the television network, with a computer —
something that didn't exist before the year 1950 — we have the
capability of opening up this noosphere to every child on earth. Genius
is where it exists, and whether a child is born in the Altiplano of Peru
or up in Katmandu in the high Himalayas, or out in a spot of jungle
land in Luzon, if he can only have a television set, all of these treasures
of the noosphere will be available to him.

And it's a very simple process when you stop to think of it. The way
has been pioneered, the technology has been almost completed and all
we really need is three synchronous satellites that will hover six and a
half radii out from the earth, traveling just under escape velocity which
I think is something around 25,000 miles an hour. I shouldn't be
speaking in your field, Colonel.

But in any event, these three will hover, and from these three
satellites the whole earth may be blanketed with their transmission.
Once we have the SNAP developed, which is nuclear power for
satellites, then we will have enough power to transmit to television sets
on earth directly — not needing earth stations any more. Then we can
set up below these three satellites, data banks that contain the total
wealth of the noosphere, and any child anywhere on earth can begin
with literacy because there will be a certain set of magic numbers that
he will be able to punch on a television set, and in a matter of
micromilliseconds, the message will go to the satellite, down to the
memory bank, where the computer will identify and retrieve the proper
program on magnetic tape, retransmit it immediately, and within

14

seconds of punching out those numbers, the youngster will begin to
learn how to read and write in whatever language he might want to
learn to read and write in. He will also have the greatest teacher
available.

As he progresses in his education, every great university on earth will
be contributing through its best professors the wealth of their
knowledge and their contribution to this noosphere, all the way from
literacy to agriculture, to atomic physics, to astronomy, to art, to
music, to culture, to architecture - the greatest professors will be
available to the whole world in whatever language you want them.

Just stop to think what this means. It means that no longer is this
great heritage of mankind cut off from half of the world's population
or more. It means that television from being, if you will, an
instrumentality of mediocrity can become the instrumentality by which
everyone on earth can share the riches of the noosphere.

It would mean that if this had existed centuries ago, we could have
heard Lavoisier today lecturing on chemistry or Keppler on math-
matics or Newton on physics, or Galileo on astronomy. It will mean
that all great thinkers and all great writers and all great human beings
from this time forward will be on magnetic tape, will be available, and
will be retrievable for any child on earth with a flick of a few numbers
on a television set, wherever it might happen to be.

The cost of all this is minimal compared to the possibility or the
impossibility of creating schoolhouses all over the world with teachers
to teach in them. We don't have enough classrooms or teachers today
for over a billion people on earth, so what is the hope when the earth's
population is even larger than it is today?

So I'm saying that somehow here you begin to see the wedding of
the imagination that Lady Jackson talked about, the technology that
Colonel Borman has pioneered, the interest in mankind and his dignity,
in his heritage all over the world that Lester Pearson has inspired so
greatly in his lifetime, and I would hope that the dedication of each one
of us can bring to this task of making human dignity a reality in today's
world and not a travesty.

President: I'm sure you all found that as exciting and as profoundly visionary as we had hoped for.

THE MEDAL TO
THE RIGHT HONORABLE LESTER B. PEARSON

President: Our fourth honoree is Lester Pearson. I don't believe in the history of the NISS we have ever honored in one evening two persons who were not citizens of the United States of America, and I don't believe in one evening we've done a better job of selection.

For those of us in this country who have enjoyed the privilege of a
northern neighbor that has tolerated us, understood us, and made our
peaceful growth possible, the association with Canada is warm indeed. To
have a man who understands us as well as Lester Pearson does (he holds more

15

American honorary degrees than he does Canadian, almost as many as Father Hesburgh) we are indeed fortunate, because Lester Pearson has been both friend and wise critic over the years and so he has established a relationship with this nation that is unique.

I first knew him in the Fifties when he was Secretary of State for External Affairs. Through the warm association I had with Brooke Claxton, the Minister of Defense, I came to know the whole cabinet of that very wise Prime Minister, St. Laurent, very, very well, and over the years I've known and followed Mike Pearson - he's remained unchanged, no side, no pride, no false quality to him.

When you consider that this man (we were a good deal younger then, Mike) was Minister of State for External Affairs back in the Forties, that he played a key role in the founding of the United Nations. winning that highest of all prizes for peace, the Nobel Prize, which is rarely awarded to a head of state, and you consider that he was the head of state of a great nation and that today he addresses his vast talents to the problem of intelligent distribution of wealth around the world, then by the mere recitation of his accomplishments one recognizes the unique quality of this man.

But for me it has always been more than that. He challenged me tonight when I introduced him as Prime Minister and I said that for me he'd always be Prime Minister of Canada because he meant so much to Canada and Canada's relationship with this country and the world.

But with Mike Pearson there's always been a special blitheness of spirit. There's always been a special gaiety as he went about his onerous tasks. There's always been a sense of something bigger than self that was to me exciting and to his colleagues and associates exhilarating. And so, for this man of untold accomplishments, for this friend of the United States, for this worker for peace in this tiny globe — for these and for his own inherent personal qualities, the National Institute of Social Sciences is proud to honor Lester Pearson, former Prime Minister of Canada. Mike! (Applause)

The National Institute of Social Sciences, Gold Medal Award, 1969; the Medal to Lester B. Pearson, for distinguished service to humanity.

You are endowed with those special qualities that mark the truly honorable man. You wear fame gracefully and carry accomplishment quietly. A prime minister, a founder of the United Nations, a peacemaker, a Nobel Prize winner. You have a zeal for serving the community of man, ever enlarging your commitment to the cause of peace, ever broadening your dedication to the betterment of peoples. You have given us insight into the manner of global purpose we should demand of ourselves (Applause).

And for this, Lester Pearson, the National Institute of Social Sciences is proud to award you this Gold Medal (Applause).

## ACCEPTANCE BY THE RIGHT HONORABLE LESTER B. PEARSON

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:

I, too, feel very greatly honored by this award and deeply moved by the terms in which the award was made by the Chairman, especially as he has known me for so long. (Laughter)

This honor is increased when I realize that in receiving it, I'm joining a very distinguished company, including my fellow recipients tonight,

16

one of whom has devoted his life in bringing man closer to God, one
who has helped bring us in a very literal sense closer to heaven, and one
who has made even the dismal science of economics seem almost
heavenly. (Laughter) (Applause)

My feeling of privilege in joining this company is all the deeper when I realize that I am, I think, the first person so honored who has come from Canada; that frozen north - which your mammoth oil tankers are now trying to penetrate. You are not content, and of course you shouldn't be, with the conquest of outer space, and the triumph of those magnificent men, one of whom is with us tonight, those magnificent men who now put their flying machines right down, in the words I heard yesterday over television, "Right down in the middle of the road in another planet."

For me, in time and even more in scientific and technological progress, it makes February, 1916 seem very long ago, when I first lumbered down a field in a military air contraption of canvas and string and a ninety-horsepower rotary engine, which ensured a speed sufficient to avoid hostile elements, human and natural. That is, if the wind was not blowing more than fifty miles an hour.

It is impossible, of course, and those whom you tonight have honored have all made this point, it is impossible not to contrast the progress we have made in these technological fields, in part because war is a forcing time of mechanical progress, especially in the science and chemistry of destruction, to contrast this with our halting and rather limited advance in the application of our knowledge to social and political science; to the facts of life today; not to an age that has gone forever, but to which we cling tenaciously in our social and political ideas and institutions, while abandoning many of its values and virtues.

Colonel Borman says we are adjusting to these changes. We had better make the adjustment both wisely and speedily. It is now a cliché - some clichés become such because they are so true - to point out that our progress in the physical sciences has so far outstripped that in the social sciences that man may well be lost in the chasm that has been created. The remedy, of course, is not to reduce our progress in technology, but to increase that in the social sciences.

Today we accept calmly and are becoming quite used to the development of agents of extinction that have led us to the ultimate absurdity, but also, ironically, represent our present hope of salvation; they are so powerful that we dare not use them, for if we did, we would destroy ourselves. So our security lies in somebody else's fear of suicide in trying to kill us. This may be the only basis we have now for peace, but surely it is not an enduring one. Yet we still talk, and I talk this way myself, though not so much since I left politics - we still talk solemnly about first strikes and second strikes and ABMs and anti-ABMs and anti-anti-ABMs; and the virtues of a deterrent power which depends for its deterrent value on its unusability.

It is enough to make the angels weep. It makes one almost long for an even greater triumph in outer space which will take us to another and this time a habitable planet; if it were not for the fact that we would likely find it inhabited by people who would be sane enough not to let us in.

17

Not satisfied with the progress that we have made in the power to
blow ourselves up, we're also doing rather well in poisoning and
polluting our environment, in the interest of making our washing whiter
and our food less fattening and our communications speedier. If we
don't call a halt to this, fortunately we are awakening to the necessity
of doing this, the greater danger to progress and even survival may well
come from the overdevelopment of rich industrial societies rather than
the underdevelopment of poorer ones, menacing though that will be.

There's nothing new of course, nothing new under the sun, so there's
nothing new about this careless disregard of nature. Man began
polluting his air and eroding his land when he first discovered fire and
first began to work the soil. But there were only a few million people on
the planet then. There was lots of clean air and lots of new land for the
few people who needed it. In any event, they were more careful in
those earlier times. In 1306 a London citizen was executed for burning
coal within the city limits! (Laughter)

Since then, we've discovered, because we are very progressive, new
means, undreamed even a generation ago, of accelerating pollution
erosion, and the general deterioration and waste of our resources. So
we'd better learn how to co-operate more effectively with nature,
treating it neither as a slave nor a master.

Well, Mr. Chairman, these are somewhat gloomy observations on
such a happy occasion, but, as you have just pointed out, I'm a gay
person. (Laughter)

Yet I'm not, I can't be, pessimistic about the future. I believe that
man can control his destiny. We've gone through tribulations and trials
and black days in the past and out of these difficulties, out of these
dangers, man has found his own way of salvation. Brave men have
arisen who, in crisis and danger, have said to their fellowmen, "It shall
not be, we shall not go down to defeat."

I think it will be so this time. It all boils down — I think it was
Colonel Borman who indicated this — to the individual man. All our
hopes and all our fears, all our troubles and all our triumphs, rest in the
one small not yet quite transferable heart of the individual man.
Because I believe in the individual man, I believe in men. So I think we
will find our way through these darknesses and these difficulties to a
better day for all men. On that note of hope out of difficulty, of
development in spite of obstacles, I would like to conclude my remarks,
and thank you, once again, Mr. Chairman, for the very great honor that
this institute of men and women who are themselves concerned with
overcoming difficulties, has conferred upon me tonight.

Thank you. (Applause)

President: It seems to me, Ladies and Gentlemen, in summation that there is
one great thought that's left with us as we've listened to four people whose
lives have been addressed to service to the world. That thought is that there
exists for this troubled nation and this troubled planet a real hope for the
future. The things our country and our world need most are hope and
perspective. Both are engendered by the breadth of reflection to which we
have been exposed tonight.

I have participated in many sessions of the National Institute, none that I

# The National Institute of Social Sciences

## *The Purpose*

In August, 1865, a group of Boston's leading citizens founded The American Social Science Association. Their goal was simple yet enduring: to provide a distinguished forum for the discussion of urgent national problems.

Questions of a political, international, economic and social nature loomed large in those difficult Reconstruction days. Equally perplexing were factors such as sectionalism, mass immigration, disrespect for law, and adjustment to an onrushing industrial age. It is no wonder that thoughtful Americans welcomed the founding of The Association, the direct ancestor of today's Institute.

In 1899 The Association was incorporated by Act of Congress, and in 1912 it organized The National Institute of Social Sciences. The announced goal of The Institute was to bring together a much larger group of citizens on a nationwide basis—Americans actively engaged in the struggle to solve our country's social ills.

The purpose of The National Institute of Social Sciences today is a modern expression of the goals so

clearly outlined by our predecessors of an earlier
century. And it is interesting to note that the major
problems of this generation are the very same ones
which challenged Americans of Civil War days:
sectionalism, immigration, international unrest, growth
of crime, population expansion, and adaptation to
a new mechanized era.

The Present

The National Institute is now composed of 1,000
members from every part of the United States; in
addition, there is a small but growing number from
other nations in the Free World. These men and
women have been elected for one reason: each has
made a measured contribution to the life of our
country. Often these efforts have been expressed
at the local community level, for it is here
that the most trying challenges face Americans
every day of the year. And it is here that the most
effective solutions may be found.

In a separate endeavor, The Institute has also
rewarded outstanding contributions to humanity at its
Annual Gold Medal Award Dinners during the past
50 years. Distinguished Americans from many
walks and many fields have received this recognition of

distinguished service, including Presidents, Secretaries,
of State, scientists, and leading figures in the
professional, industrial, military and academic worlds.
All medalists have shared one common bond: they
have served both their country and humanity in
an effort to bring reality to the American Dream.

The Challenge

Often the problems of modern life seem to
outweigh the solutions, and the continuing goal of
The Institute is to redress this balance. If it is to
achieve this end, The Institute and its members must
continue and even increase a basic commitment for
responsible service to America. Two great Presidents,
separated by 100 years of turbulent history, remind
us that past and present are bound together by social
problems which can be conquered only through
the dedicated efforts of individual citizens:

"Let us hope, rather, that by the best cultivation of
the physical world beneath and around us, and
the best intellectual and moral world within us, we
shall secure an individual, social and political
prosperity and happiness, whose course shall
be onward and upward, and which, while the earth
endures, shall not pass away."

Abraham Lincoln, September 30, 1859

"Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call
to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call
to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle . . .
a struggle against the common enemies of man:
tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself."

John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961

The Institute is dedicated to the encouragement and support of those Americans who, at local and national levels, strive to answer the social challenges of today. Upon the success of their efforts rests the eventual position of America in the history of free nations.

## Badge of Membership

The Constitution of the National Institute of Social Sciences, Article V. provides for a Badge of Membership, which it says:

"Shall bear an eagle surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel with the name of the Corporation, stellar rays making a background for the device."

The design is a beautiful one, made by Miss Malvina Hoffman. The badge is struck in 18kt. gold, from new dies, having a thickness of one and one-half millimeters and is about the size of a ten-cent piece. It is suspended by a purple ribbon which is furnished with the badge.

Annual Gold Medal Awards' Dinner

of

founded in 1865 as
The American Social Science Association

THE PLAZA HOTEL

Tuesday Evening, November the Twenty-Eighth

Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Seven

ANNUAL DINNER, 1967

The Annual Dinner of the National Institute of Social Sciences was held in the Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel on the evening of November 28, 1967 at eight o'clock. The President, Mr. Frank Pace, Jr., presided. The Reverend Dr. Gilbert Darlington pronounced the invocation.

Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the dedicated vision and unselfish service of the five famous Rockefeller brothers and their family, whom we honor here tonight in Thy name. The whole world rejoices in the generosity of their forebears, who established the Rockefeller Foundation, and is grateful for its continuing gifts of education, conservation, modernization, beautification, and cooperation for the benefit of all races, colors and nations of the world.

These five Rockefeller brothers have helped to create a new dimension in social research and planning, by the use of the latest electronic computers and memory recording systems, in helping to solve today's urgent challenges in industrialization, taxation, standardization, transportation, and in worldwide publication and communication in our atomic age.

Tonight we honor them because, taught by their beloved parents, they have sought not to destroy but to fulfill the commandments of God's Law, the visions of His prophets, and the dreams of the inspired Psalms. They have been true to the faith of their fathers that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and that true liberty is not license, that the dignity of human and divine laws is more important than the questionable dignity of those who disregard the rights of others for personal profit.

Do, Thou O Heavenly Father, bless them and their family and sustain and guide them. We ask it in the name of Thy son, who said, "A new commandment I give unto you to love one another, as I have loved you. Thereby will man know that you are my disciples, if you show love for one another." Amen.

MR. PACE: Ladies and gentlemen, the N.I.S.S. prides itself on running a taut ship; we conduct our affairs, we feel, with dispatch, and with a sense of excitement. I believe tonight is the most exciting night that we have ever had at the N.I.S.S.

Tonight we examine a family in American life. Our purpose in the N.I.S.S. is to recognize those people who have contributed to an understanding of man himself, his limitations, his capacity for growth and the means of achieving that capacity.

Since man is, in a sense, an extension of the family, it is appropriate that we should examine the family as an institution in our nation's life. When you look back at the family of early America, you realize why it was so significant a unit. It had to be. You had to do your part to survive.

4

Your mother grabbed the rifle and your sons were there at the barricade. You either did your part or the family unit didn't make it. So the family unit naturally became part and parcel of the American character.

When we moved on to middle life as a nation, problems of survival were less harsh. But nonetheless we still lived the life of the family. The unit was still compatible. Besides, it was still essential. In most of the economy, I think, the family was the center of education. It wasn't a multi-million-dollar education program that produced Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, or Whistler's Mother. Certainly the human instinct to say, "I could never understand a man who did not feel the lash on another man's back as well as on his own," didn't come out of the little red schoolhouse. It came out of the family.

And now we move on to today. All the forces that make the family unit meaningful and central or significant — the assignments that we give the young are not necessary to family survival. The essential ingredients of family unity are not there; the family of today is exceedingly different.

In this modern world, is the family unit necessary? Obviously we on the Medals Committee of N.I.S.S. felt that the answer was yes. We see no substitute for the family in the future. We see no electronic brain that solves that problem.

I believe that essentially the problem of America is inward and not outward. We're troubled by world leadership. In the long run, we'll make it or not make it, based on what we are here, not by what we seem to be to somebody else. We have the moral strength and courage. We have an understanding of the freedom of the individual that is properly within the requirements of the society.

Most of all, we believe in our country; we believe that we'll be good enough to take on anything that comes down the road. Believe me, whether we are that good, whether we have that moral courage and determination, whether we have the choice of individual freedom within the requirements of the society, depends as much on the family as on any single thing.

In this day and age of television, radio, easy travel and many opportunities to grasp, the meaning of the family slips away more easily. The meaning of the requirements of the family unit is dissipating.

And so it is that we in America are fortunate that we can consider the problems of the family. We have set before us an example of the fact that it can be done. It has been done and it should be done. Tonight, we are looking at the inner workings of the Rockefeller family and seeing that it is, that it has been done; and that a sense of excitement and meaning can be given to family prospects. Mind you, I speak at least as much to the parents as I do to the young. In the long run, it is our responsibility to find ways to command their respect — not just to be a pal but to be a human being with qualities of heart and mind with which to help them meet the challenges of today.

I think you'll agree with me that when you look into the life of Abby and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., when you see the products of their thought, their care and their character, that this is something America ought to know

5

and see and understand so that nobody can say it can't be done. We at N.I.S.S.
believe in examples and not just philosophical assessments of situations, and
so we have chosen the Rockefeller family as the example of what America
needs to do and what America can do.

THE MEDAL TO
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, 3rd

MR. PACE: The oldest of the Rockefeller brothers is John D., 3rd. He is a quiet man. His good deeds are like the iceberg — only a third show above the surface. And yet when you see that third, you're amazed at how widespread they are.

His mind and his heart ran to one of the most critical of world problems, the problem of population control. Typically, he moved with discretion, recognizing that this was a matter of delicacy, individual morals, and sentimental, historical and cultural requirements in each of the countries in which it is undertaken. In this, he has played a vital role.

He saw early the opportunities for world progress that lie in the Far East.
He traveled there to build a bridge, a bridge of humanity, culture and under-
standing that will serve us well in the future.

And finally, in our city of New York, he recognized that for our city to
progress, it must have pride, it must have beauty, it must have culture. So he
contributed one of the great cultural developments of the city, which is more
of the nation than of the city. And so for our first honoree, we are privileged
to introduce John D. Rockefeller, 3rd.

First, it is my privilege to present John D. Rockefeller, 3rd with the
Gold Medal of the National Institute of Social Sciences which he has so
richly earned. Second, it is my privilege to read the citation which has been
written in recognition of his services.

The National Institute of Social Sciences Gold Medal Award, 1967;
the Medal to John Davison Rockefeller, 3rd, for distinguished service
to humanity. If, in our time, philanthropy can be said to have evolved
a philosophy, and it has, we ought then to pay tribute to you as one
of its leading philosophers and practitioners. For few Americans have
so devoted their lives to creative philanthropy for the public good and
so dedicated themselves to improving the quality of life.

One particularly impressive example has been your early recognition of the dimensions of the population problem and your dynamic role in encouraging positive action on this subject of such concern to all people and all nations. In another field, we must mention your fruitful efforts in bringing fitting recognition each year to the work of the distinguished employees of the Federal Government. Additionally, we must point with pride to your constructive concern for the performing arts, for it was your inspiration and leadership that brought these active arts a magnificent new setting, Lincoln Center, so that our creative city would continue to be the artistic center of the nation.

6

And lastly, though never really finally, we would laud your in-
fluential interest in the mind and people of Asia. For through that
interest, you have sought diligently and successfully to foster a better
understanding between Asia and America.

ACCEPTANCE BY JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, 3rd

Mr. Pace, ladies and gentlemen: Frank, your gracious and generous remarks are deeply appreciated. I am greatly honored to receive this award from your distinguished Institute, and I am especially pleased to receive it among so many friends here tonight.

It is true, as Frank Pace has suggested, that the field of population and family planning has occupied much of my thought and energy for a number of years. But tonight's occasion makes me wonder. If my parents had been exposed to today's idea of family planning (Laughter) brothers Win and Dave might not have made it (Laughter).

As I look at my fellow award winners, I feel myself to be in rather good company. There were times long ago when I used to worry a little about these younger fellows, but I think they have all turned out very well (Laughter). In fact, I am the only one of the five who is unemployed (Laughter). One of my brothers works for the State of Arkansas, another for the State of New York, a third for a very large bank, and the fourth is an active businessman. I cannot be absolutely sure, but I don't think any of them is job-hunting (Laughter).

I am glad that you require that the recipients of your award be present in person. It gives me a good opportunity to see all my brothers. Over the years, we have maintained a strong bond, but each has gone his own way, developing our own fields of interest. We are all together at least once a year at our family Christmas party, but very rarely in public. This, therefore, is a very special and happy occasion for us. We are grateful for it.

In honoring us tonight, you also honor others. I can remember well my grandfather's response when he was asked how he accounted for his success. He would say, "My associates, I have been very fortunate in my associates." I know I speak for my brothers as well as myself in saying that we, too, have been fortunate in being associated with outstanding men and women over the years.

In 1923, my grandfather was the recipient of your award, as was my father in 1929. You honor them again through us, for they bequeathed to us not only our name and material resources, but also certain basic values. How well we have lived up to these values is for others to judge, but that they were instilled in us by our parents and grandparents there can be no doubt.

Several of these values have given shape and meaning to philanthropy for me. One of them is a sense of responsibility, of considering the resources passed on to us as a trust. Our task was to grow into the responsibility, to develop the ability to manage this trust in active efforts to promote human welfare.

7

(w)

Another value is the importance of being relevant to the problems and needs of one's time. One could be very busy as a philanthropist and yet be relatively ineffectual. Thus 50 years ago, the dominant concerns of philanthropy were in health and welfare. Today, they are in such areas as overpopulation, urban decay, civil rights, conservation, the arts.

A third value is to give of oneself. We were taught that it is not enough to give only of one's name or material resources. One must also become involved personally to contribute one's time and thoughts and energy. To me, this is the spirit of giving, and I know no better way to stay relevant and be effective. As is sometimes said, "The gift without the giver is bare."

Philanthropy has been a unique social force in the United States; there is no real counterpart to it anywhere else. The resources of philanthropy have been small in comparison to those of private enterprise and government, but they have been effective as venture capital in meeting social needs — sometimes in the role of catalyst, sometimes functioning as a balance wheel, other times as a cutting edge. Some may think that with the expansion of government services into many new areas, the need for philanthropy is correspondingly lessening. I think precisely the opposite is true. The larger government becomes and the more varied its activities, the more philanthropy is important and needed (Applause). There are always things that government cannot do well, or should not do at all, or can best do in partnership with philanthropy. Moreover, the scope and complexity of social problems continues to grow beyond the reach of either government or philanthropy, but hopefully not of both. Our task in philanthropy, and it is more difficult than ever before, is to be creative, to be venturesome, and to find effective methods of partnership with government and private enterprise.

Unlike old soldiers, philanthropists do no fade away. There really is no such thing as retirement in my chosen field. I hope to be active for many more years, especially with the warmth and encouragement that is evident here tonight. Thank you (Applause).

MR. PACE: Believe me, John, the response of our membership is merited by the quality of your work.

THE MEDAL TO
NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER

MR. PACE: The next brother whom we honor here is Nelson Rockefeller. When I think of Nelson, I think of two words — character and courage. Imagination, too, he has in plentiful supply. Throughout his entire public career he has provided the kind of leadership that America needs. His contributions are a reflection of his own boundless energy and enthusiasm. I remember ten years ago, coming back from the Pacific, I was asked by John Foster Dulles to join a group of men to give him some thoughts on America's approach to foreign policy. Nelson was one of the group, and he made a great contribution to our foreign policy. I've watched him since, as he has undertaken the task of guiding the State of New York, and continue to be impressed by his use of imagination and courage in the harsh and sometimes

8

cruel requirements of public administration. For his imagination, for him, as a public servant, I have profound admiration.

First, Nelson, it is my privilege to present to you the Gold Medal of the Institute, which you have so richly earned and deserved. And if I may, I would like to read your citation.

The National Institute of Social Sciences Gold Medal Award, 1967, to Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller for distinguished service to humanity. You have been more than active in government at its several levels for over a quarter of a century, from your wartime involvement in the arena of inter-American affairs to your present tenure in Albany. From that pivotal post you have launched attacks on urban evils from crime and narcotics to the pollution of our air and water. You have sought to encourage, through education and job opportunities, people of all races and religions in their search for satisfying careers and full lives.

Your concern for the person, in an all too impersonal society, is reflected by your constructive commitment to education, medical care and outdoor recreation. You are an exponent of the continuing, creative dialogue between government and business, and despite the demands on your time as Governor and the high level of interest you have always maintained in Latin America, you have never lost your keen eye for art, from the primitive to the most modern, nor your spirited approach to a broader public understanding and appreciation of it. Your brilliant imagination has been tempered by the harsh realities of government administration. But nothing has daunted your courage.

Indeed, you meet the requirements of the immortal Teddy Roosevelt: "His place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither defeat nor victory."

## ACCEPTANCE BY NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER

You're very kind, Frank; thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, I couldn't help thinking as Frank has been speaking this evening, and as brother John, the head of our family, spoke so eloquently, that in this room are men and women who personify the things that both Frank and John have spoken of. The men and women who have made this country what it is, whose fathers and mothers, whose grandparents have been the pioneers who have blazed the trails and who have set the records for the oncoming generations to follow. And so as John spoke, and as Frank spoke, it was a wonderful feeling to look about this room and see the best that is representative of our society in America, a society that we can be proud of, that we can be grateful for, and that we can thank God that we have the opportunity of being a part of.

Frank spoke of the family with great warmth, great understanding, and I think that unity has been the basis of the strength of those whom you have been so generous to honor tonight. Unity that was built and nourished by two people, our mother and our father, and it is indeed a pleasure to know

9

that Winthrop Aldrich, who was my mother's favorite brother, if you'll excuse me for saying so, is here this evening, because he represents the Aldrich branch of the family, to whom we owe so much.

The unity to which Frank referred, has been the unity of the Aldrich family and the Rockefeller family, and the unity started, for those of us who are here this evening, at the prayers every morning before breakfast with Mother and Father.

Now, I would say that perhaps we have one thing in common, and that is that we are somewhat the opposite of the old story of the pessimist, whose only reaction when opportunity knocked was to complain about the noise. We've moved in other directions.

But there are problems. I'll never forget campaigning with Louis Lefkowitz in 1958 on the Lower East Side, and we dropped into a delicatessen, making acquaintances, and I put my hand out to shake hands with a man who was at the counter, and he just moved away. One of the reporters went over to him and asked him, "Didn't you want to shake hands with a Rockefeller?" He said, "I should put a hand-shake in a bank?" (Laughter) So there are problems, but I'd just like to say in concluding, that the opportunity to meet with these four men on this platform every two or three months for the last thirty-some years, to talk over our problems, to talk over the opportunities, to share in the ideas, the concepts of the others, to get inspiration from their dedication, their devotion and their experiences, has been the greatest thing of my life, and I'm very happy to be here this evening. Thank you. (Applause)

THE MEDAL TO
LAURANCE S. ROCKEFELLER

MR. PACE: Laurance I have known the longest. Laurance and I have been friends for well over 35 years and it has been a personal joy to both Peg, my wife, and myself. A basic requirement in today's world, in a world that is increasingly urban, increasingly too busy, increasingly divorced from nature, is to understand that man must have an opportunity to see nature firsthand, preserve some part of it for the future. In an automated world, a world in which the unnatural decrees the natural, Laurance has devoted his life to seeing that this generation and the future generations will never have to fail in the opportunity to see nature as it really is.

Laurance, first it is my privilege to present you with the Gold Medal of the National Institute of Social Sciences, and I would now like to read your citation.

The National Institute of Social Sciences Gold Medal Award, 1967, to Laurance Spelman Rockefeller for distinguished service to humanity. You are a man whose interests can truly be called spatial, whose concerns touch the heavens as well as the good earth, whose philosophy of leadership resides in the principle of organized action; whose goal

10

is the protection and wise use of the resources and natural beauties of
our land so that future, as well as present, generations shall both enjoy
them and have them to enjoy. You have served three Presidents
through your dedicated work on a virtual flotilla of task forces devoted
to outdoors, recreation, conservation, environment and natural beauty.
Here, your gift of subtle and quixotic humor has enabled you to find
solutions that others could not achieve. But these terrestrial activities
have not prevented you from broadening the horizons of your deeply
held interest in aviation, in that challenging universe of science and
adventure we call aerospace. Here, you have encouraged many young
companies formed to explore new and venturesome ideas, all the while
continuing your efforts to advance and encourage knowledge of the
fruitful use of our natural resources, in the pursuit of which you
have properly won the title of America's "Number One Citizen
Conversationist."

## ACCEPTANCE BY LAURANCE S. ROCKEFELLER

Mr. Pace, brother awardees, honored guests and friends: I, too, am most
grateful to the Institute for so generously honoring us this evening. In a
larger sense, however, we all feel that the real honorees tonight are the
family as a whole — inclusive not only of Mother and Father, and my sister,
Abby Mauzé — but also our distinguished grandparents.

And now we have new allies and new sources of strength — our children
— who are convincingly demonstrating that they are both eager and able to
participate constructively in the work of the world (Applause).

I particularly appreciate the Institute's recognition of my efforts in con-
servation, outdoor recreation and natural beauty. This interest and concern
of mine for the quality and natural beauty of our environment is inspired
by Father. It is a direct extension of his work. I'm only now beginning to
fully realize how far-sighted and visionary he was.

In an era when ruthless resource exploitation was rampant, he took the
leadership in preserving and restoring places of great natural beauty. Further-
more, he was concerned not only with preservation, but equally with making
places of rest and inspiration available to people.

In Father's day, in the not so distant past, concern for natural values was
a very minor theme of our society. Parks and recreation and environmental
quality were simply not first-order public priorities.

But this is changing — and changing dramatically. In the past decade,
I've been privileged to be a participant in a new wave of action, but any role
I've played has been enormously enhanced and multiplied by a brother who
happens to be Governor of our state (Applause). He has had the vision,
courage and determination to initiate and support action to meet the con-
servation challenge of our time — action which has led the way not only in
New York, but across the nation (Applause).

In my mind, the new wave of public concern for environment dates from
November 8, 1960. On that election day, the people of New York State were

given a chance to vote on a $75 million park bond issue, which was proposed by Nelson.

The voters said "yes" by a majority of three to one. Since this enthusiastic endorsement, leadership at all levels of government has become progressively aware of, and responsive to, the public's need and aspiration for a better and more accessible natural environment.

The call for a more livable country seems to have struck a deep chord in Americans across the land. It is clear that the people not only want but are willing to pay for a better environment. They are also willing to fight those who would unnecessarily destroy it.

Thus, I believe that we, as a people, are making the national decision that we do really care what kind of a country our affluence is creating.

We are coming to know that the building blocks of a good environment — green land, pure water and clear air — are not frills or luxuries, that they are essential to our health and welfare — indeed, to our very survival.

All this adds up to a heartening and most startling wave of national interest and action.

For my part, I sometimes feel as if I were riding a conservation-oriented rocket — a rocket designed by Father, ignited by Nelson, boosted by President and Mrs. Johnson, and fueled by the concern and interest of the American people (Laughter and applause).

To extend the metaphor a bit, however, I must add that we are just off the launching pad. The past decade has brought encouraging progress, but we have a very long way to go.

For the first time last year, we broke even with the bulldozers. As many acres were preserved as we paved and plowed under for homes and highways. Unfortunately, however, we usually lose ground in the urban areas where the people need open space and gain it out in the country far from where most people live.

Worse still, we are not breaking even in keeping our water and air clean. Each year we pour ever more filth into these finite resources. We must not go on indefinitely mortgaging our environment to expediency. We need action to restore the balance of nature, before our account is disastrously overdrawn.

Fortunately, there is now some very good legislation on the books to attack these problems. In many cases, however, particularly in the federal area, the programs that the laws promise remain only promises. There are not adequate funds to make them a reality.

Building a better environment will require a long-term, sustained, expensive effort. It can't be done in a day, in a decade or even a generation. It will take a continuing commitment of the American people.

I believe we are making that national commitment. It will not be easy, but this decision can be a historic turning point for which future generations will be eternally grateful.
