1956 - Nasser

Actually Nasser is not a Communist and politically he is closer to those waging war on him.

## 3. Germany

1956 - German reunification

It is better to have 17 million Germans in the Soviet bloc than 70 million in a united but neutralized Germany. ...

There are two Germanies: in the West the capitalist Germany, in the East the Germany of people's socialism. It is not our task to help Western capitalists by delivering East Germany to them.

## 4. United States

1957 - We will overtake you.

If you do not want to send strategic materials, that's all right, but trade creates confidence.

We are the second most productively powerful nation in the world, but we will overtake you.

Each lecture will be followed by a period of questions and discussion from the audience.

... about the department

The new Department of International Studies was made an integral part of the College of Arts and Science at the University in September 1957. It offers a program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree with major concentration on international relations and foreign areas. The program is the result of growing recognition that United States leadership in world affairs demands an increasing number of college graduates with background training in world problems. In addition to offering its own specialized courses in international relations, the Department coordinates courses from other departments which focus on international affairs. The guest lecture program of the Department is linked to an introductory full-year course designed for all students, whether they major with the Department or not. This course, “The United States and World Problems,” aims at making an awareness of global problems and the forces behind them part of the general education of our future leaders.

Dear Henry:

Enclosed is the text of Khrushchev's press conference last
week.

When I returned from Cambridge yesterday I found a letter from
some very good friends in Rome who asked me to mention to you in the
most glowing terms the name of a friend of theirs who has applied for
your summer seminar. The man's name is Andreus NUVOLARI who they
say would be a very useful person to have participate. Since
I respect my friends highly I have no hesitation passing on their
recommendation of Siggar Nuvolari.

It was good seeing you and certainly amusing to sit in on your
deliberations on Saturday morning.

I hope by the time this reaches you your waiting period will
have ended and you are a proud father.

With best regards,

SECRETARY OF STATE
