THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION 49 WEST 49th STREET, NEW YORK 20 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT August 6, 1953 Dear Dean: I have looked over the interesting list of suggestions to be covered in the Princeton seminar and have no deletions or additions to suggest insofar as the principal international events are concerned. It seems to me that there are certain problems of procedure and relationships in the conduct of our foreign affairs which cut across the main outline of the subjects we have been considering. For example, the bipartisan problem, the relation between political and military leader- ship within the United States Government, the relations between the Executive and the Congress are just as important a part of the story. I am not clear whether these should be covered separately or woven into the present outline. So much of the conduct of our foreign relations is an internal matter and so much of the energy of the Secretary of State and his principal assistants is exhausted by our own house- keeping, I feel that a representative account must deal rather heavily with problems of this sort. I recognize that these things have emerged all through our discussions and will continue to do SO. I am certain that you yourself have them in mind. I have just received Herbert Feis' book and have it at the top of my list for an early reading. 5.
