FREEDOM STUDIES CENTER The degree of Communist successes in the Cold War can be traced in large measure to a serious gap in our own educational processes. The Communist Bloc operates more than 6,000 schools which teach psycho- political warfare. The United States has not even one comparable school. Thus in the Cold War struggle a revolving number of at least 150,000 specially trained Communist professionals are ranged against a relative handful of informally trained amateurs (and. a few qualified professionals who have learned on the job). Since 1959, every session of Congress has considered establishing a Freedom Academy to turn out finished professionals in psycho-political warfare just as the United States ..Military Academy provides the nation with professionals in military warfare. It is hoped that a Freedom Academy Bill will eventually be passed, but there has also been growing hi-partisan awareness that the private sector must help close this edu- cational gap whether a government operated Freedom Academy is estab- lished or not. To meet this need, representative educational institutions and national organizations are establishing a private freedom academy as a joint venture under the administration of the Institute for American Strategy. It is called the Freedom Studies Center and will ultimately involve 1) a graduate school, 2) concentrated schools for leaders from all segments of society in the free world and 3) continuing research into how both the public and private sectors of the nation can best mobilize to deal positively with the Cold War- and the challenge of emerging nations. The Freedom Studies Center will be located on the 671 acre estate-campus described at the beginning of this binder. The initial participants in the development of the Freedom Studies Center in- clude 12 heads of colleges and universities, 16 deans or directors of uni- versity schools, 14 state commissioners of education, 16 professors, 11 top officials of major school systems and 39 senior U. S. senators and represen- tatives comprising a balanced representation of the liberal, moderate and conservative wings of both major political parties. Most of the principal proponents of a government operated United States Freedom Academy serve on one or more boards or committees of the Freedom Studies Center. They see a public and private freedom academy as being mutually complementary and necessary.

Committee of One Million to educational institutions like Illinois Institute of Technology and Northeastern University and schools systelos like the Cook County (Illinois) Schools and the Massachusetts Depa,rtiment of Education. Key cooperating organizations anci institutions will be invited to establish facilities at the Freedom Studies Center. They also may use Freedom Studies Center facikitict-, for their ciwn seminars in related subject areas. It is planned that many t7,il the cooperating institutions will conduct independent but complementary Cold War educational programs. For example, it is plann.t.d that sonne, of the cooperating universities will eventually establish independent regional centers on psycho-political warfare. The Freedom Studies Center will also continue the Institute for American Strategy's leadership role in encouraging teaching about Communism in the secondary schools. For example, it will continue as the consultant to the Joint Committee of the National Education Association and The American Legion. See Part V for examples of continuing projects. A number of senators and congressmen have asked that the first concentrated schools be for key congressional staffers, governors' aides and other government officials. The first school for these key men is scheduled for June 1966. These schools will be similar to the pilot schools for governors' aides conducted by the Institute for American Strategy under the auspices of the National Governors' Conference with the cooperation and assistance of the White House. Subsequent concentrated schools will be conducted for leaders in other fields both from the United States and other free world countries. These students will include journalists, businessmen, labor leaders, executives of voluntary organizations, government officials, military leaders, educators and community leaders.

THE EDUCATIONAL GAP IN THE COLD WAR The following outstanding Americans have played important roles in iden- tifying the educational gap in the Cold War. - President Lyndon B. Johnson:* "The great majority of our citizens, I believe, want to understand the form and fashion of the challenge posed :Cor us by Communism. They seek sound information on which they can rely and from which they can draw their own conclusions and make their own decisions as to the rightness or wrongness of the paths we pursue in the search for a peace which preserves our freedoms." General Dwight D. Eisenhower: "I. believe there is an over- powering need for a regular and sustained study of this subject.... It is vital that the American people understand the nature of this struggle--that they grasp the magnitude of the threat posed by Communism to our free society?that they come to know their adversary in all his many and devious guises. "I think the difficulties we are faced with in this protracted conflict spring largely from the fact that many Americans have never fully understood the tragic harvest of human suffering Communism has reaped around the world, and the methods it uses to undermine and weaken our free society." Senator Thomas J. Dodd, Dern. Conn.: "Recent events in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic again drive home the need for the ex- pansion, on the most urgent possible basis, of our cold war train- ing program. As I have said over and over again, the communists have scored so many cold war victories since the close of World War II, because in the field of political warfare they have been professionals opposed only amateurs. "Ultimately, it is to be hoped, the Government itself will set up some kind of training program for private citizens as well as employees of the Executive Branch concerned with the conduct of foreign policy. But, since governments move slowly, it is my conviction that an effort- should be made on a private basis to make serious cold war education more generally available than it is today to all those who can make use of it." December 11, 1964 message concerning National Governors Conference School on Cold War Education conducted by the Institute for American Strategy. Approved For Release 2005/07/13 : CIA-RDP67600446R000600070003-6 Approved For Release 2005/07/13 : CIA-RDP67600446R000600070003-6 Dr. Walter H. Judd, former 1Republican Congressman from Minnesota: "The Communists are winning- the Cold War because most Americans neither understand nor know how to fightthis kind of war. If we are to meet the Communist threat, leaders in all walks of life must be educa- ted as to the nature of the war we are in and how to fight it. Alan G. Grant, Jr. , President, Orlando Committee: The Soviets are winning the cold war precisely because Lenin understood sixty years ago that political warfare is an incredibly complex and difficult art and science and as such should be. conducted by hi li-d.??r trained professionals-- and then acted on this belief by inaugurating a comprehensive training and research program which systematically created capacity for total political war." General David Sarnoff, Chairman of the Board, R. C, A. "We need a network of schools and universities devoted to training cadres for the Cold War. The objective is not education in a generic sense, but specific preparation for the intellectual, technical; intelligence and similar requirement of the ideological-psychological war." Dr. Sidney Hook, Professor, New York University: "The greatest lack in the world today -in the struggle against communism is the absence of a large trained body of men and women dedicated to the idea of freedom who are experts in the theory of communism, informed of all its practices and able to give positive leadership in the struggles against them for a freer and better world." Dr. Leo Cherne, President, Research Institute of America: "...there is nowhere at the present time any training of U. S. Government personnel, or those persons involved in the exchange programs which could lead to the understanding of the techniques of organization which are at the heart of any effective counter-action program. against the Communist cadres."

The Freedom Studies Center will present a positive, constructive approach to Cold War problems based on the ,principles of American. freedom. The Center will devote its primary attention to the cause of freedom and to expanding its sphere in the world. It will. tints become a focus of research. and instruction on the positive aspects of Western civilization as contrasted to the negative approach of Marxism-Leninism. Since people in many nations seek a practical alternative to Communism for themselves, the Center will advance those concepts and courses of action which will assist them in developing their own political institutions. Toward this end, the Center will assist in developing the leadership potential of these nations. The Freedom Studies Center will give practical., realistic instruction in three areas of study: A. The principles of American freedom and the moral resources of the free world, their dynamics and mobilization. B. The Communist challenge.. C. Defending and extending the sphere of freedom. The above areas will be related to the nature of Communist psycho-political warfare and how it may be countered. School Programs The programs of the Freedom Studies Center will be organized on the basis of a multiple-track system as follows: A. Concentration Programs 1, Long Weekend - An intensive lecture/seminar program of four days duration (Thursday through Sunday).
