MEMORANDUM FOR: MEN= 221 - Admin Building
SUBJECT: Harrison Salisbury's Article in Saturday Evening Post,
19 March 1960.
With respect to the Salisbury article, I would suggest the
following steps might be worth considering.
1. Discuss at the OCB level whether there is agreement with
a. Salisbury's favorable interpretation of developments
in the Soviet Union under Khrushchev;
b. His thesis that Khrushchev is seriously apprehensive
over the ominous development of China;
c. His contention that Khrushchev in the long run will
seek an alliance with the West against China.;
d. His implied recommendation that US policy should
move in that direction now.
2. In the light of the findings on the above, the OCB might
determine whether
a. The Salisbury thesis is one which is favorable to
long range US interests and should be followed up tactically and
operationally now;.
b. Any or all of his theses are detrimental to US interests
and should be countered;
c. His views are without real significance or impact,
and should be ignored.

3. If his views are considered wrong and dangerous,
appropriate action might be recommended by the OCB to various
Departments.
4. With respect to CIA, our suggestion would be to labor
with New York Times editorial personnel through whatever channels
are available, to persuade them, preferably, to dissociate themselves
openly from Salisbury's views, or at least not to come out in support
of them.
I would suggest that such an exercise would be timely not in
terms of Salisbury alone. There is a strong current of similar thought
in Europe, centering around the so-called Starlinger Thesis. Even
deGaulle is believed to be influenced by it. A review of our own long
range interest would place us in a better position to react to European
pressures in this direction which are likely to grow stronger in the
future. 25X1A9a
