Bush vows CIA aid
against terrorists
By Alan Cline
CIA Director George Bush
pledges continuing help to Ameri-
ca's friends who are combating
terrorists.
"We have a very important
role in furnishing information to
policy makers and friends on the
activities of terrorists. It is almost
our Number 1 priority," Bush said.
In a speech before a large
Commonwealth Club luncheon au-
dience, Bush carefully stayed away
from specifics both in his prepared
text and in a question-answer peri-
od.
He said he was in San Francis-
co to explain how the CIA works
and why it's necessary.
Bush, a former Texas congress-
man, ambassador to the United
Nations and America's first liaison,
to Red China, defended, the policy
of keeping intelligence budgets
secret from the public, and he
insisted that appropriate congres-
sional committees get that budget-
ary information in infinitesimal
detail.

. He complained of "excessive

Asked how to deal with jour-

some way should be found to
tighten up on security abuses, but
that he opposes official secrets

He said "some damage" has
been done through publication of
CIA data because sources at home
and abroad have held back on
information, but the situation was
manageable.

LUNDBORG CALLS FOR MORE BUSINESS
INVOLVEMENT IN U.S. NATIONAL POLICY
FRIDAY FLASHES - JULY 9th
From Address by
LOUIS B. LUNDBORG
Chairman of the Board, Retired, Bank of America
"Within the past two weeks, two events
have taken place that had no apparept.re-
lation to each other; and yet' taken' to-
gether they can have very great meaning
and significance to all of us. Two weeks
ago, here in this room, you made the an-
nual presentation of literature awards-
awards to writers for excellence in each
of the several major fields bf ' writing.
Than at the beginning of this week came
our Fourth of July, that formally symbol-
ized our bicentennial. Why do I mention
these two events in the same breath? Be-
cause they are more related than might
appear on the surface.
Irving Sitone, when he addressed you
-here two weeks ago, made a claim for the
importance of books that I know some
of you might dispute. But there can be
little dispute as to the part that writing
of all kinds has played, not only in our
own revolution, but in the other major
revolutions and major political eruptions
throughout history. Both the written and
the spoken word have played their part
but even the spoken word was given its
greatest impact as it was recorded and
passed along. We find the power of the
written word most dramatically demon-
strated after the invention of the printing
press made it possible for that word to
reach into every corner of a country and
to be debated and preserved. In the
French Revolution the writings of ""Itous-
seau and Voltaire helped to prepare the

minds of the French people for revolt.
Even another field of writing-the opera-
played a potent part. 'The Marriage of
Figaro' by Beaumarchais, performed in
Paris in 1784, was witty and entertaining
but it was a biting indictment of the
French monarchy.
Power of the Word
There is little doubt but that the writ-
ings of Tom Paine helped to crystallize the
thinking of the American colonists that it
was time to overthrow the oppressive rule
of George the Third, just as Harriet
Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
rallied and crystallized the determination
of the northern states to abolish slavery.
In modern times, the writings of Marx,
Lenin, Trotsky and even Tolstoy paved
the way for the Russian Revolution just
as the writings of Hitler and Mussolini be-
came the rationale for their moves to
seize power.
In the area of peaceful political change,
the political pro;ram that we call the New
Deal certainly changed the character of
American life and as far ahead as we can
see, changed it forever. But what may not
be so clear is that the New Deal was not
born full grown in 1933. Its seeds were
planted, even before the turn of the cen-
tury, in the writings of Ida Tarbell and
Lincoln Steffens and in the later novels
of Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser, Upton
Sinclair and Sinclair Lewis, Even after it
was launched as the New Deal, it was fur
ther shaped and influenced by the writ
ings of John Steinbeck.
There were two things at least that
made our American Revolution different
from most of the others.
Revolutionary Fervor
The first difference was that in our
American Revolution the writings of
thoughtful people, people of influence.
did not stop with the overthrow of the
existing government. Typically in so man}
other revolutions, intellectuals set the
stage, rallied the revolutionary fervor and
fever of the people, but then when the
revolution had been successful, direct ac-
tionists took over as they did in France
and as they did in Russia. Those who
might have given thoughtful, philosophi-
cal guidance and content to the shaping
up of what followed the revolution were
pushed into the shadows. In our revolution
the thinking and the thoughtful writing
went on long after the revolt to help shape
the structure, content and spirit of the
government itself.
The second difference was that in the
other major revolutions, most of the writ-
ings came from men who either were pro-
fessional writers or were professional
seekers after political power. Here, while
it is true that Thomas Paine was a pro-
fessional writer and pamphleteer, most of

WHERE IS THE GREAT DEBATE!
LUNDDORG (Continued from preceding page)
the others who contributed to the think-
ing and shaping of our national begin-
nings were men of affairs; .they were
farmers, merchants, lawyers, who just hap-
pened also to be scholars and used their
powers of scholarship and letters to pro-
vide one of the most remarkable philo-
sophical foundations that any society and
its government have ever had.
Now we find ourselves in a year that is
both a bicentennial year and a national
election year. This should be a -truly his-
toric year. There are forces at work in
the world such that, if historians are able
to look back a thousand years from now,
I think they will see the period in which
we are living as one of the major land-
mark or turning-point periods in history,
So in this combination bicentennial and
election year we should expect to be wit-
nessing the Great Debate on the issues
of the day. But where is it? Certainly not
coming from the candidates. We might
hope that after the party conventions of
the next few weeks the emerging nom-
inees would begin to debate and discuss
issues and principles and policies on a
level worthy of the office. But there are
signs. that even then, in the final heat of
the race, it may continue to be just a pop-

ularity contest, a beauty contest that has
shifted from Atlantic City to the living-
room TV screen. Imagine the fate of the
western world resting on the question of
which candidate has the most charisma'
Candidates We Deserve
in any case, it is not my purpose here
Ioday to scold, berate or to bemoan our
candidates. It has been my observation
that throughout history we have seen the
kind of candidates that we have deserved,
by the quality of our own involvement in
the process. If we have colorless, unexcit-
ing candidates who do not seem to stand
out as the kind of leaders we would like
to admire and follow, it is because our
involvement in the political process has
been half-hearted and colorless. Whether
measured by the numbers of eligible
roters who turn out to vote, or by the
amount of active door-bell-ringing pre-
cinct work or almost any other index ex-
cept one, we have gone steadily downhill
Exception to the Rule
The one exception is money. We often
criticize bureaucrats and others who, as
we say, try to solve social problems by
throwing money at them; and yet that is
just what most of us have been doing
with our priceless heritage of the fran-
chise, the right to vote. We just throw
money at it. What has been the principal
ingredient of the legislative proposals for
election reform since Watergate? Control
over money spending. And that is about
all that has been at issue, when elections
have been contests not between flesh-and-
blood people expressing beliefs and con-
victions, but between media campaigns.
The reversal of this whole trend is
;t large and many-faceted undertaking,
therefore, I want to address myself today
to just one segment of the solution.
Henry Cabot Lodge once said, 'The
businessman dealing with a large political
question is really a painful sight.' But it
need not always be that way. At the found-
ing of our country and through the shap-
ing of our basic structure, men of business
plaved a dominant role. At times, it is
true, some of those men tried to influence
the action in ways that would have given
excessive protection to wealth and prop-
erty over considerations of personal lih
ertics and human rights; but when they
did, it was other businessmen who led the
vnunter pressures.
For more than a century after that.
corporate and other business leaders re-
mained active in politics.
:Abandoned Issues
The businessman might back a candi-
date for office or try to defeat a piece of
legislation, however, the issues involving
the quest for effective political philoso-
phies, the search for social justice, the
pursuit of the common good, the ever con-
stant hunt for broadly effective ,,overr.-
ment had largely been abandoned.
Since the 1930s, businessmen have not
:oven been so actively involved. The heavy
attacks and tongue-lashings by Franklin
D. Roosevelt sent many of them under
cover. It became popular to say that it was
the kiss of death for a candidate to he
openly endorsed by leaders of business.
When businessmen finally decided to
return, some took the money route and
few took the route of personal invol c-
ment.
Late to Act
Meanwhile, businessmen and women
continue to express themselves on legis-
lation; but usually to little effect. They
have joined in too late or they have come
in on the wrong part of the issue.
For example, employers were not much
in evidence in the long years when the
status of women and of racial minorities
was being discussed as a social and eco-
nomic problem. Yet when the Equal Op-
portunity Employment Act was proposed.
and when regulations later were issued to
enforce it, then employers were vocal.
Air and water pollution had been pos-
ing some real hazards to human health, as
well as to quality of life generally, for
years before anything was done about it.
Again, business was silent until the En-
vironmental Protection Act was proposed
and enacted.

THE COMMONWEALTH 229
"Businessmen Weep Because Nobody Loves Them!"
LUNDBORG (Continued from preceding page)
There were new kinds of hazards grow-
ing in industry with very little discussion
by employers until OSHA was proposed.
Now we hear all kinds of weeping about
the difficulties of compliance.
In the matter of cities, some real sins
have been committed in the name of so-
called Urban Renewal. I do not fault my
business friends for blowing the whistle
on much of the wastefulness and ineffec-
tiveness of many of those programs; but
the blight of the cities had been growing
and festering for years without much evi-
dence that business was really concerned
about the problem at all, let alone about
the human aspects of it.
.Businessmen agonize and wring their
hands over what they call economic illit-
eracy. They ask `Why don't they teach
economics the way it ought to be taught?'
'Why don't they teach the meaning of
profits?'
Disenchantment with Business
What they are really bemoaning is that
nobody seems to love- them.. The..polls.
show a growing disenchantment with busi-
ness in virtually every segment of the
public. `Profits' seems to be the word that
both sides use to symbolize the chasm be-
tween them.
I suspect, however, that both sides miss
the point of what it really is that is sep-
arating the public and business. It is not
profits as such; it is the feeling that busi-
npss does not care about anything but
profits; that business has no care or con-
cern' for any of the problems that loom
so large in other people's minds. It is not
an entirely fair accusation, but it is under-
standable. If your friend talks about
nothing but baseball, could you be blamed
for thinking that was all he ever had on
his mind? If businessmen never talk about
anything but business, or if when they do
speak of minority employment, air pollu-
tion or poverty, speak of it only in the
language of a CPA analyzing a corporate
balance sheet, who is to know that they
are aware that somewhere, behind those
statistical problems that he discusses in
such coldly mechanical terms, is a human
being with human emotions, struggling
with the fruits of human frustration?
If our businessman would stop talking
like a computer printout or a page from
the corporate annual report, other people
would stop thinking he had a cash regis-
ter for a heart.
The reason he talks that way, I suspect,
is two-fold. In part it is because the pres-
sures of managing a business is today's
complex world are so great that he has
let his life become so preoccupied and
dominated by business considerations that
it is the only language he ever hears. That
is only part of the reason.
Corporate Macho Image
The other is that there has developed
a sort of corporate macho image. It says
in effect, that any showing of tenderness
or compassion is a weakness. The ultimate
expression of this ritual has been that the
businessman who spoke out for policies
and programs of concern was labeled a
'bleeding heart.'
Of course, this is utter nonsense. Only
the very strong are genuinely tender and
compassionate. I am glad to see signs that
this is being recognized in some of the
corporate programs that have developed
out of the recent focus on corporate social
responsibility.
You will note that I do not say that the
business leader's attitude or input into the
dialogue should prevail or dominate; nor
do I see any chance that it would, unless
all the other players in the game suddenly
decided to abdicate and forfeit the game.
Business and professional leaders should
gain only as much power as they earn by
their own exercise of persuasion and lead-
ership.
Powerful Legislation
And so it was that in the early days of
our democracy that every issue was de-
bated and decisions hammered out after
every shade of opposition was fully ex-
pressed. Lately we have had some sweep-
ing pieces of legislation adopted without
even the members of Congress reading
them, let alone the citizens affected by
them. That is not the way to preserve a
free society.
There is a plain and simple reason
why it is in society's interest to get the
corporate executive involved in the dia-
logue concerning our country's direction:

Quality of Life: "Guiding Goal for National Policy"
f.UNDBORG (Continued from preceding page)
not only is the business corporation the
productive engine that now supplies the
American population with most of all the
things it consumes and uses in its daily
life; but it also supplies most of the jobs.
American life today is at least heavily
influenced, if not dominated, by the ex-
istence and operation of the business
corporation.
Great Debate
The people who direct those character-
istic American institutions at least can be
in a position to supply something that is
needed in the Great Debate that must
come. Each one learns something about
the stream of human effort as well as the
stream of physical material that flows
through his plant. That knowledge should
be shared with the knowledge and atti-
tudes of those who view the human scene
through other kinds of ?lasses.
I said at the outset that it is not too
late. It is late, but it is never too late if
our leaders of business will recognize this
as one of their major management respon-
sibilities, to which they should budget and
allocate an adequate amount of time.
I am suggesting that businessmen and
women become personally involved first
of all, whenever possible, directly and
face-to-face in those councils where the
issues are being discussed; and secondly.
in public expressions that come directly
from themselves, not from a speech writer
who puts new words in his boss' mouth.
Our leaders of business should do it be-
cause it is right, because they have some-
thing to offer and something to gain.
Break the Silence
Because our men of business have re-
mained so long silent on matters of politi-
cal philosophy, there is a real danger that
if they now begin to break that silence,
they will again seem only defensive and
querulous. It is a danger, yes; but like
many dangers in life, not a reason for do-
ing nothing. It is a danger that should
be a warning to them not to be merely
defensive or querulous, but to show some
concern for the problems, purposes and
aspirations of others.
And of course. the real need involves
not just businessmen or public officials
but all of us. We all need to face the fact
that we need to sharpen and re-focus our
sense of values, especially on some of the
non-material values. There needs to be
much broader consensus on quality of life
as the guiding goal of national policy, in
which production and consumption of
things may be important but secondary.
As a banker I would hardly be the one
to blow the whistle on material comforts
or material progress. But our country was
not founded on purely economic or purely
material goals. They were part of it, to be
sure. The people who fled from poverty
in Europe did see a land of economic op-
portunity here, but most of them fled from
something else, too, that is, from oppres-
sion and threats to their liberties. They
saw here an opportunity to live full lives,
to grow spiritually as well as materially.
The essence of that is implicit in every
line of our founding documents-the Dec-
laration and the Constitution. If that were
not so, we would never have had the solid
foundation we have nor the history that
has been built on it.
Difficulty for Democracy
Mathew Arnold, more than a century
ago, wrote something that is as true to-
day as it was when he wrote it. He said
'The difficulty for democracy is, how to
find and keep high ideals. Nations are not
truly great solely because the individuals
composing them are numerous, free, and
active:
but they are great when these
numbers, this freedom, and this activity
are employed in the service of an ideal
higher than that of an ordinary man,
taken by himself'." (JMR)

There is a tendency to oversimplify and

by not becoming involved. We have a lack
of discipline for not paying for what we
get. It's lack of discipline and default.
Q: If U.S. relaxes on education and ag-
gressive business policies, where will we be
in competitive world in another 25 years or
more? A: We are now entering a period
where we realize we do have a limited sup-
ply of raw materials. There is going to be
a new kind of competition and scramble
that calls for a new kind of relationship
between the people, nations and industries
of the world. There must be responsibility
in use of raw materials.
Q: Business held in low repute among
substantial segment of voters and public,
Can spoken word be used to overcome this?
How? A: Yes it can be used to overcome it
when spoken word reflects a true concern
and is an expression of real involvement In
the problems and is not just a bandying
about of words. Cosmetic use of spoken
word will not restore business to level of
esteem it has had in our history. Words
alone won't do it. Must express a real con-
cern and active Involvement.
Q: Your opinion of current terrorists or
revolutionaries trying to force change by
destroying property? A: Do not give In to
them-giving in to all forms of blackmail
Is folly. No one should be bullied into si-
lence.
Q: Your advice to young man entering
banking world hoping to rise to position of
great Importance? A: No easy answer.
Three things: do your own job superbly
'Well; learn your boss' job; learn the goals
and purposes of the entire business to help
organization meet its goals. One ingredient
is energy well directed-,always moving
toward the goal. Management should leave
a considerable amount of time available on
public service, public relations etc. All time
should not be spent on money making ac-
tivities.
Q: Can there be a future without shock?
A: Be prepared so you won't be shocked.
