T is is an interview wit David E. Reut er w ic is being done on be alf of t e Association of Diplomatic Studies and Raymond Ewing is t e interviewer. In tal(ing wit you today we want to review your Foreign Service career. You apparently went to ig sc ool in Seattle, Was ington and t en went to ,ccidental College in Los Angeles and a little later came into t e Foreign Service. Dave, w y don.t you tell me a little bit about your early life and ow you got interested in t e Foreign Service and w at else you did before actually joining t e Service, w ic I t in( was in 19001 .UTH. : I have always considered my interest in international events came from being raised in Seattle. As a premier Pacific Ocean port, Seattle offered eEposure to the nations and history of the Pacific im. The Pacific was where .ast and West fatefully met and clashed. In school I read eEtensively about the battles that took place there during World War II. But if history and proEimity didn;t catch one;s eye, Seattle the melting pot did. The main immigrant groups were Scandinavians, of which a large number came after the World War II. There were large Filipino and Gapanese communities, and a small Chinese community. The Seattle Art Museum, for eEample, had few 7an Gogh and Degas paintings, but a stimulating collection of oriental art. The University of Washington always had an eEcellent Far .ast Asia studies program. Growing up in such an environment encouraged an awareness of Gapan and China. Because Seattle was one of the few Pacific entry points into the United States, the city was often eEposed to Asian artists touring on Cultural .Echange programs. I distinctly remember watching a performance of Gapanese Kabuki performed by a visiting group. 3 Seattle;s place in the world and the encouragement of my high school history teacher, Grace Meyers made it seem Cuite natural to pursue studies in college in political science and international affairs. %: I, also, grew up on t e West Coast and was very muc aware t at we are a Pacific nation and used to t in( going bac( East mig t be to Denver. .UTH. : I have similar recollections of eEperiencing what a vast country the West was. Once my father announced we were going to take our annual two,week camping vacation and go back .ast. So, we packed our sleeping bags, our tent, our Coleman stove, and jumped in the car and drove and drove and drove for days and finally arrived in Salt 6ake City. While that was about as far .ast as I got when I was growing up, this, and other annual camping vacations around the West, taught me that the U.S. was a country of great beauty and diversity. %: But, you went sout to college in Los Angeles. .UTH. : Yes, to Occidental College. I was interested in a small, liberal arts college with ready access to the professors and a manageable curriculum. I had taken summer courses at the University of Washington during high school and was very much aware that a campus of tens of thousands was not for me. So many students, so many course offerings, how could one stay focused in such academic abundanceK Occidental was the best eEperience for my curious mind. The Political Science faculty was top notch. I can still remember some of the classroom stories either aymond McKelvey or ichard eath would tell which combined the practical and academic and otherwise illustrated the point they were making. Probably most important for my future Foreign Service career, Occidental had a two year History of Civilization reCuirement. This course illustrated that our generation stood on a road that others had also trod. Starting with the art and religion departments each department discussed the contributions of its field to world history in chronological order. On a practical level this course allowed the students eEposure to every professor on the campus. This helped many discover and focus their academic interest. %: W at was your ma/or1 .UTH. : My major was political science even though OEy at that time offered an international affairs degree. The difference between the two was the number of reCuired courses you took to prepare for the comprehensive eEamination. At the end of the four years, because of eEcitement or curiosity, I found that I had completed more than enough courses in political science, economics and history to be awarded a degree in both political science and international affairs, but I restricted myself to taking the comprehensive eEams in the one field. %: So, you finis ed at ,ccidental in 1965. W at did you do after t at1 .UTH. : By then I was deeply interested in China and had already focused class 0 papers and read eEtensively on China. I had been accepted at the Sino,Soviet Institute of The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., in China studies. It therefore seemed like a good idea at the time to start on Chinese language studies. The summer intensive Chinese language program at the University of Washington, however, seemed more like Marine Corps boot camp.

  • Understanding the State Department
    605 September 25, 1987 UNDERSTANDING THE STATE DEPARTMENT . .. .... .. INTRODUCTION Two years from this month, the De artment of State will celebrate its bicentennial anniversary. Back in those irst days of U.S. independence the Department was staffed with a half-dozenP employees on a budget of less than $60,000. Today, the State Department employs over 25,000 people around the world on an annual operating budget of over $4 billion. The State Department has been a source of frustration and dissatisfaction for every President since at least Franklin D. Roosevelt. Often called the "fudge factory," it was described by John F. Kennedy as "a bowl full of jello." While Ronald Reagan's private views of the State Department are unknown, he is entitled to use language even more pointed than Kennedy's. For it is an intriguing anomaly that the power and influence of the career Foreign Service, which largely runs the Department, have reached an apex in Reagan's administration even though he campaigned for office promising to bring the federal bureaucracy under control. Bureaucratic Imperatives; Many of the career Foreign Service Officers--called FSOs--who conduct the Department's day-to-day operations and to a significant extent direct foreign policy, are governed by bureaucratic imperatives. While: . intelligent and hard-working, they weigh career and institutional interests heavily in formulating and carrying out policies. They often seem more concerned to please foreign governments than their own, often seek agreements for agreements' sake, and place a high priority on continuity in foreign policy. Their power is enormous because most noncareer officials at State defer to the judgments of the career staff, who often seem impervious to the wishes.of a President and the people who elected him.

  • Interview with Walter A. Lundy
    Library of Congress Interview with Walter A. Lundy The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project WALTER A. LUNDY Interviewed by: Raymond Ewing Initial interview date: September 23, 2005 Copyright 2005 ADST Q: OK, this is a Foreign Affairs Oral History interview with Walter A. Lundy. It is the 23rd of September 2005. This conversation is being conducted at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center and is being done under the auspices of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. My name is Raymond Ewing. Walt, it's good to have this opportunity to talk with you. I see you entered the Foreign Service in 1960. Why don't you tell me a little bit about where you grew up, where you went to school and how you came to be interested in the Foreign Service. LUNDY: I grew up basically in Georgia; however, my father went into the Army during World War II, and we spent three years in California, from 1943 until 1946. That probably inspired my love of travel. We returned to Georgia when I entered high school, which in small town Georgia in those days meant the eighth grade. There were seven grades of primary and four years of high school. I entered the University of Georgia in 1950, and graduated with an A.B. in 1954. I went directly into the Air Force with a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) commission and stayed there from 1954-1958. I was very lucky indeed in that I entered the Air Force early enough to receive full veterans benefits under the Korean War GI Bill Interview with Walter A.
