Dear Mr. Dulles:
March 4, 1959
On behalf of two of our Vice Chairmen, Fred McKee of
Pittsburgh and Sal B. Hoffmann of Philadelphia, the actual
hosts, it is a pleasure to invite you to be their guest
at our Council's annual Informational Dinner at the
Hotel Washington in Washington on the evening of Wednesday,
April 8, 1959. Cocktails are at 6:30 and we hope to be
seated for dinner at 7:00 P.M.
It is our cordial hope that you will join us.
Our subject is he "Orlando Plan," now pending before
Congress and the nation, a proposal hailed by LIFE Magazine
last February 16 as a plan for a "Political We-st-P-o-in-VI
for training all of the people who must labor to win the
"cold war" declared against the free world by leaders of
Communist slave world forty years ago which the enemy has won
temporarily on a third of globe and which we have almost
literally "not begun to fight."
Reversing our policy, maintained since April of 1951, all
of the papers and communications this time will be
"on the record" and the press men who are being individ-
ually invited are free to write this time.
Contributors will include Alan Grant of the Orlando group
to describe the origin of the program in the stress and
sacrifice of the relatively few who fought and died and
the others who stayed "state side" in the first open
struggle of the free world against Communist aggression
in 1950-51.

Cr4ngressional sponsors Syd Herlong and Dr. Walter Judd will report,
along with a third man whose name we cannot give until that Wednesday
evening.
Discussion will be free and informal, but this year the guests who
wish to be "off the record" will have to specify the condition as
preface to their individual remarks.
You can help us and our hosts if you will send your acceptance note
to our Philadelphia address by a week in advance. We are willing
to expand the limit from past years' top limit of forty-five to as
high as eighty, but for thrift reasons our Washington office will
not be manned until the day before the dinner.
We hope to meet you at Hotel Washington that April 8.
Sincerely yours
Dowell, executive
Secretary-Treasurer

Adopted as Revised at Washington, D.C.
April 29, 1954
And Philadelphia, November 22, 1959
Pro ram Resolution: The Council Against Communist Aggression declares that the sole hope of
preventing World Wars and achieving peace with. freedom and justice, requires the neutrali-
zation, reduction, retreat and, ultimate overthrow of Soviet Communist power over any sub-
stantial part of the world's peoples, by all means short of war.
This goal can be achieved by adherence to an recognition of the following principles
and facts:
A. The Communist juggernaut, whether as a government of Soviet Union or of Red China
or as a world-wide conspiratorial organization within the free countries or their insti-
tutions, can neither be placated nor provoked. It is a power machine first and last. It
is unique in international history, in its implacable intent, to conquer and remold the
entire world into its own totalitarian slave image,
B. Our very existence as the center of the economic and military power of the Free
World is the irreducible foundation of the enmity of the Communists for us and not any
specific policy or lack of policy of the United States.
C. The foundation of foreign policy must be moral in the primary degree that the
common cause of all humanity is freedom and no temporary advantages to the American nation
are worth. the acceptance of the legality or permanence of the enslavement of any people.
These principles entail the following minimum program:
1. The preservation of the United Nations, which, requires its adherence to the basic
principles of its Charter which restricts membership to peace loving nations willing and
able to keep their international commitments, and the continuing of U.S. participation --
demands refusal to admit any additional governmental members, who have attained power
through the forcible intervention by military or subversive means of another power, This
means refusal for the forseeable future, to seat the government of Red China, as we long
prevented the acceptance of Franco-Spain. Membership granted at founding to slave states
does not invalidate the moral and practical principles of refusal to admit or recognize
any additional totalitarian states, a good old Lincolnian principle of no more admission
of slave states to add to original mistake,
2. Every advance in stabilization of the economic condition and, therefore, of the
security and independence of wage earners through. strong free unions, and or peasants
through. ownership of land, is a stunning setback to Communist power in any part of the
world?
3. The peoples behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains are the indispensable and reliable
allies of the Free World. Their ultimate liberation must, therefore, never be abandoned
as hopeless.
4. Appeasement never buys peace. It is surrender on the installment plan, whether
concession of something we possess or what belongs to a friend. Both are self-defeating,
and the latter is immoral and cowardly as well,
5. The development by all peaceful means of the will to resist and ultimately over-
throw Soviet power and influence is initial and fundamental. The success of passive
resistance in Russia is initially dependent on its development in the satellite countries,
which. in turn is dependent on continuing success in strengthening the military defenses
of the free world and the prevention of Communit infiltration in any part of the Free
World, We must mobilize and use to the maximum all types of political and psychological
warfare, both. conventional and unconventional in the world struggle for the minds of men.
