The President has asked me in the enclosed letter
to establish procedures to ensure that no governmental
sponsorship of foreign area research will adversely
affect United States foreign relations.
Within the Department of State I have asked
Thomas L. Hughes, Director of the Bureau of Intelligence
and Research, to communicate with those agencies with
social science contract research programs relating to
foreign areas. He will be developing procedures to
assure policy clearance of such Government-sponsored
research. The Bureau of the Budget will work with
Mr. Hughes in developing these procedures.
With warm regards,
Sincerely,
Dean Rusk
