Kennedy Library MOSS: Mr. Ambassador, let me ask you, to begin with-­ you said that you first met John Kennedy in India, is that correct~ Would you describe that please for us? WILKINS:, Yes, that's correct. The first thing I want to say is that as a Foreign Service officer, I was a very small cog in a very large Department of State Foreign Service machine; naturally my relationship with a man like President Kennedy was rather brief and re­ mote. But I remember that I went to India in 1950, when Loy Henderson was ambassador, as political counselor. There was a change of ambassadors in 1951 when Chester Bowles took his place. If I remember correctly, President Kennedy, who was then a congressman, came on .a visit with his brother, Robert [F. Kennedy], and one of the sisters, later Mrs. Stephen Smith, a regular CODEL [Congressional Delegation]. -2- ,,, Ambassador Bowles was away. Loyd Steere was charge, and he called me up that morning and said, "Fraser, are you free for lunch today? The reason I ask is I'm tied up and we've got this congressman coming with his relatives. Could you take care of them?" I said, 11 Well, I think we can do it. 11 And so I talked to my wife, and we decided to arrange a lunch with Indian food. I thought we should give them something Indian to eat, being in India. I hadn't realized it would be John Kennedy and Robert and his sister until they arrived. It turned out they were very much the worse for wear because they'd been traveling through the Near East and were having the usual tummy trouble. The last thing they wanted was an Indian lunch. we had an Indian curry, rice ~nd papaya, and all during lunch both Jack and Robert Kennedy kept pushing pieces of the curried chicken and the papaya underneath the lettuce so they wouldn't have to eat it. That morning President Kennedy had been to see [Jawaharlal] Nehru. His conversation about his talk with Nehru was interesting to me because Kennedy struck me as a person who was an accomplished politician, who was de­ veloping an interest in foreign affairs. I mean, he wasn't quite sure of his grasp, as I sensed what he was saying. He mispronounced names in talking about the Indians. I hoped he didn't do that when he was talking with Nehru. But still his interest was genuine. We talked at length about the politics of India. Robert we;s on the edge of his chair all the time. He looked like he'd just graduated from college. He had a crew cut and seemed a touch football type. You could see he was trying to. get in on the conversation all the time and was competing with his brother. MOSS: Do you remember anything of a substantive nature of the conversation? -3- WILKINS: Not really very much. I think he was impressed by Nehru because he was a very impressive man and he did things in style there in his office. Nehru spoke at length about American assistance in wheat and also about Korea, the settlement of that problem. Kennedy was much impressed with Nehru's position on these matters. Also at that time, the United St2tes was hoping that in re- , - turn for wheat shipped to that country, India would release / manganese ore, which was needed in defense production. And Nehru was reluctant to do this because he thought that this was contributing to the development of nuclear weapons. MOSS: And was this a topic of conversation at the luncheon? WILKINS: As far as I know. I've sort of forgotten the details. After all, this was twenty years ago. MOSS: Yes, I understand how it is. WILKINS: And I haven't thought much about it since then. MOSS: Are there a~y other incidents from that visit that stand out? WILKINS: Well, I do remember that after the Kennedy group left--they went on to Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia; it was a round-the-world trip. Later we got back newspaper reports saying how dis­ pleased Kennedy was with the level of representation through­ out the Middle East. Everywhere he'd gone most of the ambassadors were absent. This was not unusual because most ambassadors went on home leave in the summer. I think Mr. Bowles himself was back in the United States on consulta­ tion. I remember saying to my wife, "No matter what you do you can't win," because here we'd had an interesting con­ versation and a very pleasant day--in spite of the curry--and still the Kennedys were critical about the Foreign Service and the State Department. It seemed like a bad break. -4- MOSS: All right, let's move on then. You wee ap- pointed Ambassador to Cyprus in the [Dwight D.] Eisenhower Administration, so you were there when Kennedy was elected and when he became President. WILKINS: That's right. I ought to explain a little bit about Cyprus, just for the record. There had been trouble between the British, v..hohad been in control of Cyprus since 1878, when it was taken over from the Turks.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

  • The Gordian Knot: American and British Policy Concerning the Cyprus Issue: 1952-1974
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: AMERICAN AND BRITISH POLICY CONCERNING THE CYPRUS ISSUE: 1952-1974 Michael M. Carver A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess ii ABSTRACT Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor This study examines the role of both the United States and Great Britain during a series of crises that plagued Cyprus from the mid 1950s until the 1974 invasion by Turkey that led to the takeover of approximately one-third of the island and its partition. Initially an ancient Greek colony, Cyprus was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century, which allowed the native peoples to take part in the island’s governance. But the idea of Cyprus’ reunification with the Greek mainland, known as enosis, remained a significant tenet to most Greek-Cypriots. The movement to make enosis a reality gained strength following the island’s occupation in 1878 by Great Britain. Cyprus was integrated into the British imperialist agenda until the end of the Second World War when American and Soviet hegemony supplanted European colonialism. Beginning in 1955, Cyprus became a battleground between British officials and terrorists of the pro-enosis EOKA group until 1959 when the independence of Cyprus was negotiated between Britain and the governments of Greece and Turkey. The United States remained largely absent during this period, but during the 1960s and 1970s came to play an increasingly assertive role whenever intercommunal fighting between the Greek and Turkish-Cypriot populations threatened to spill over into Greece and Turkey, and endanger the southeastern flank of NATO.
