iv SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The John F. Kennedy National Security Files, 1961-1963, Middle East, First Supplement contains a large collection of recently released documents on national security issues in the Middle East, as well as on the Kennedy administration’s efforts both to respond to these developments and to help shape them. The collection includes substantial material on a variety of political, economic, and social topics including Arab-Israeli relations, border conflicts, political conditions, government changes, military coups, arms trade, Palestinian refugees, the role of the in mediating disputes, Communist activity and popular sentiment, economic policy and national planning, and U.S. economic, food, and military assistance. The material is organized into separate sections for each of fifteen countries, plus Crete and Palestine. Each section contains some or all of the following types of documents: diplomatic cables, military and intelligence reports, White House–State Department letters and notes, memoranda of White House conversations, political/economic assessments, contingency plans, and personal communications between Middle East leaders and President Kennedy and other U.S. officials. The collection provides illuminating glimpses of important personalities involved in Middle East decision making, including Muhammad Al-Badr, Ali Amini, Kemal Ataturk, Mohammed Ayub Khan, George M. Ball, , David Ben-Gurion, Ali Bhutto, Chester Bowles, Ralph Bunche, McGeorge Bundy, Ellsworth Bunker, Fuad Chehab, Mohammad Daud, William O. Douglas, Levi Eshkol, Crown Prince Faisal, Myer Feldman, Mordechai Gazit, Avraham Harman, Sayf Al- Al-Hassan, W. Averell Harriman, Hussein I, Ismet Inonu, Joseph E. Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson, Mostafa Kamel, Carl Kaysen, Robert W. Komer, Makarios III, Edward Mason, John J. McCloy, Golda Meir, Paul Boutros Meouchi, Armin H. Meyer, Livingston T. Merchant, Mullah Mustafa Barzini, Mohammed Naim, , Jawaharlal Nehru, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Nazim Al-Qudsi, Walt W. Rostow, Dean Rusk, , Abdullah Al-Sallal, Ahmad Shuqairi, Mongi Slim, Philippe Takla, , Phillips Talbot, Maxwell D. Taylor, , Carl C. Van Horn, Mohammed Yusuf, Mohammed Zahir Shah, and President John F. Kennedy. The following sections highlight the information that the collection includes for each country.

Afghanistan Afghanistan carried on a dispute with Pakistan over the border area commonly referred to as “Pushtunistan.” As a consequence of this dispute, Pakistan forced landlocked Afghanistan to abandon its trade route to the sea through Pakistan. Collection documents cover this conflict as well as Iran’s attempt to mediate the dispute. As was the case with the leaders of many developing countries, U.S. diplomats and officials found Afghanistan’s leader, Mohammed Zahir Shah, quite adroit at playing off the United States against the in order to obtain needed aid. Collection authors illuminate this gamesmanship.

v Cyprus The collection includes material on the relations between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, as well as on the larger relations between and Turkey as they affected Cyprus, and Archbishop Makarios III’s visit to the United States.

Iran Iran during the early faced a desperate domestic economic crisis, with ballooning government spending and budget deficits, and the country’s leaders, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and Prime Minister Ali Amini, continually tempted to dip into oil revenues to make up the shortfalls. Collection documents cover the attempts by U.S. and International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials to devise measures to help Iran recover fiscal stability and implement its long-term development plans. A large number of documents portray the Shah’s repeated demands for U.S. military hardware, while U.S. diplomats attempted to convince him that Iran’s problems were economic, not military. The collection additionally includes material on the 1962 earthquake and subsequent U.S. disaster aid, as well as on political stability under the Pahlavi regime and the Shah’s 1962 visit to the United States. Finally, a number of documents provide detail on the Shah’s ambitious program to implement land reform, which was intended to transform Iran’s rural society from the traditional landlord-sharecropper system to one of village cooperatives. One U.S. diplomat sums up what seems to have been the consensus view on the Shah: “I am convinced that the Shah is an honest patriot with a genuine desire to help his people and to officiate at the birth of a new Persia. He is also spoiled, difficult, and overly preoccupied with military weaponry” (Reel 3, Frame 0243).

Iraq The collection includes material on the troubled rule of Abdul Karim Qasim, as well as his difficult relations with other Arab countries and with the United States. Collection documents additionally cover the 1963 military coup. One report, by Department of State research director Roger Hilsman, examines the complex relations among Arab countries, illustrated by their reactions to the Iraq coup and postures toward the new government, all in the context of the feared—or welcomed—influence of Gamal Abdel Nasser and the United Arab Republic (UAR) in the Persian Gulf region (Reel 3, Frame 0523). The Saudis and Jordan appear to have feared Nasser’s influence in Iraq’s revolutionary government but soon realized the group’s independence from Nasser.

Israel During the Kennedy years, the Arab-Israeli confrontation experienced a comparatively calm period. As President Kennedy stated in a 1961 letter to Arab leaders, “The Middle East during the past three years has been relatively tranquil. Underlying tensions do, however, remain, not the least of which is the unresolved Arab-Israel controversy” (Reel 10, Frame 0006). The collection includes significant materials on a number of issues, including the border violence between Israel and Syria in the Lake Tiberias area where Israel planned to divert water from the Jordan River; U.S. food aid; Israel’s nuclear program, which the United States feared would lead to nuclear weapons and so demanded to inspect the facilities; French and West German military aid; the

vi “arms race” with the UAR; Israel’s request for a U.S. “security guarantee” and the U.S. refusal to give it; and the Palestinian issue. Many documents focus on UN Special Representative Joseph E. Johnson’s mission to the Middle East to try to lay the groundwork for a refugee resettlement agreement among Israel and the three Arab host countries, Jordan, Syria, and the UAR. Working with UN and U.S. Department of State officials, Johnson developed a plan that would allow individual refugees to state their preference as to where they would like to settle. Israel adamantly opposed this scheme, fearing that most refugees would choose repatriation in their former home areas, which were now part of Israel. One of the collection’s more significant documents records the intense debate in a long, difficult meeting between Johnson and Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir (Reel 4, Frame 0241). A number of top U.S. officials expressed extreme annoyance at what they viewed as Israel’s inflexibility in refusing to seriously consider UN-U.S. proposals such as the Johnson plan designed to lessen Arab-Israeli tensions. National security adviser Robert W. Komer sent a strongly worded letter to Kennedy, urging him to be firm in his talks with Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir and demand that Israel “reciprocate” for the aid the U.S. had given it over the past fourteen years (Reel 4, Frame 0308).

Jordan Collection documents cover Jordan’s domestic political conditions, including King Hussein’s parliament dismissal and cabinet change. In addition, the collection includes material on Israel-Jordan relations, especially as they concerned sharing the water of the Jordan River and Israel’s planned diversion of a significant portion of the Jordan’s flow. A number of documents provide glimpses of the kind of diplomatic parrying the United States practiced when two or more governments with which the United States had relations start, or appear to be planning to start, a conflict. While U.S. diplomats reassured King Hussein of the U.S. “special friendship” with him and Jordan, U.S. Ambassador to John S. Badeau was telling an Egyptian official, “Our interest in Jordan is neither support of or of King Hussein as an individual, but the prevention of major conflict” (Reel 5, Frame 0387).

Kuwait The collection includes documents on Kuwait’s domestic political conditions, as well as the tensions caused by Iraq leader Abdul Karim Qasim, who asserted Iraq’s claim to Kuwait, while the United States and other countries recognized the small country’s sovereignty. Several documents cover the ’s military presence in and aid to Kuwait.

Lebanon Collection materials cover a military coup attempt, civil-military relations in general, a U.S. Navy visit, the sale of the airline Air Liban, the prospective purchase by the Soviet Union, and the U.S. visit by the Maronite Patriarch Paul Boutros Meouchi.

Oman The collection includes material on Oman officials’ visit to the United States.

vii Pakistan U.S. officials held the point of view that the most important policy consideration in the South Asian subcontinent was thwarting the Communist expansion, whether directed by the Soviet Union or China. As Kennedy says in a memo to W. Averell Harriman on the Chinese invasion of , “By the Chinese action, the subcontinent has become a new area of major confrontation between the Free World and the Communists” (Reel 7, Frame 0711). Pakistanis needed, therefore, to understand and accept the U.S. decision to supply India with arms in its border war with China, and accept U.S. assurances that such aid did not mean a lessening of U.S. support for Pakistan’s security. As Secretary of State Dean Rusk says in a letter to Pakistan’s foreign minister, “Our defense assistance [to India] is to be used only against the outright Chinese aggression now facing India” (Reel 7, Frame 0695). As a large set of collection documents show, Pakistani leaders protested, to no avail, this U.S. military aid to India, fearing that India would, immediately or eventually, use the hardware against Pakistan. U.S. officials became increasingly frustrated and disappointed with Pakistan’s refusal to attempt even a partial rapprochement with India during the 1962 India-China border war. Secretary Rusk said, “Pakistan support for India at this time of trouble will strengthen Free World resistance to Communist threat and ultimately create [a] new and healthier climate in which Pakistan’s problems with India could become more manageable. In all candor, Pakistanis now have an unparalleled opportunity to transform basic relationships in the subcontinent” (Reel 9, Frame 0901). In the view of Rusk and others, Pakistan made little attempt to seize this opportunity, in part because Pakistan wanted the U.S. to demand that India agree to a Kashmir settlement, in exchange for U.S. military aid to India. U.S. policy makers additionally resented what they perceived as Pakistan’s attempt to blame the United States for many of the difficulties they faced. Other U.S. national security interests in Pakistan during the Kennedy administration centered on the following major issues: the long-standing dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir; India’s seizure of Pakistan’s Goa area; the border dispute with Afghanistan, as well as the denial of transit for Afghan trade goods through Pakistan; and Pakistan’s increasingly cordial relations with China, as evidenced by the countries’ border agreement and the establishment of air links. The rapprochement disturbed U.S. policy makers. Secretary of State Dean Rusk remarked, “The U.S., which looks to India as a key bastion for democracy in Asia, has become increasingly impatient with Pakistan’s friendly approaches to Communist China as a means of pushing its grievances against India” (Reel 8, Frame 0621).

Palestine After years of failure in its attempt to resettle Palestinian refugees, the United Nations established the Palestine Conciliation Commission and sent Special Representative Joseph E. Johnson to the Middle East to try to lay the groundwork for a resettlement agreement among Israel and the three Arab host countries, Jordan, Syria, and the UAR. Johnson devised a plan that was rejected by Israel and then by the Arab countries. Basically, Israelis felt that the plan would sell out Israel’s interests to and lead to a flood of Palestinian refugees into Israel. It would allow each refugee to indicate a preference for repatriation inside Israel or resettlement in Arab countries or elsewhere. Israel feared that half or more of the refugees would indicate a preference for

viii repatriation, even as U.S. officials tried to reassure them that “the approach assumes, and by careful restriction and phasing assures, that only a fraction of the refugees will in fact return to live permanently in Israel” (Reel 10, Frame 0002). Israel refused to budge. The Johnson plan further generated intense policy debates within the Kennedy administration, with some officials, such as Myer Feldman, urging withdrawal of support for the plan because of Israel’s rejection of it, while Dean Rusk, Robert W. Komer, Carl Kaysen, and others urged Kennedy to maintain at least private support for it in communications with Arab and other world leaders, and in the United Nations. Collection documents provide extensive coverage of the interactions and debates among UN officials, Israeli and Arab leaders, and Kennedy administration officials.

Saudi Arabia The collection’s substantial set of documents on Saudi Arabia includes material on U.S.-Saudi military basing arrangements, U.S. military aircraft sales, by the Saudi government against U.S. Jewish military personnel, King Saud’s medical treatment in the United States and meeting with President Kennedy, Saudi government relations with the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), U.S. economic aid, and political conditions including King Saud’s relations with his relative and rival Crown Prince Faisal. From the U.S. point of view, the major national security topic concerning Saudi Arabia was the country’s difficult relations with the UAR, which at several points came close to breaking into open war when the two countries began supplying military aid to the opposing sides in the Yemen civil war: Saudi Arabia to the Royalist counterrevolutionaries, and the UAR to the new leaders of the Yemen Arab Republic. The UAR attempted, unsuccessfully, to stop the flow of Saudi aid by initiating a series of attacks on Saudi territory near the Yemen border, an area that the UAR viewed as the staging area for the Saudi weapons convoys. Saudi Arabia, as well as other countries including Israel, Pakistan, and Syria, asked the United States to issue public declarations of U.S. support, with (in most cases) a U.S. commitment or “guarantee” to defend the country in question from aggression. In each case, the United States always refused, preferring to reassure the country’s leaders privately that the United States would come to the aid of the country with whatever aid was needed—including military intervention—if the country was attacked. Among the reasons for the U.S. refusal to issue public security commitments outside security alliances like NATO was the belief by U.S. policy makers that such declarations would lead adversarial countries—such as the UAR in the case of Saudi Arabia and Syria—to seek explicit defense alliances with the Soviet Union. As always, the fear of the spread of international communism seemed in the forefront of decisions of U.S. diplomats and policy makers. Although the United States refused to give an explicit security guarantee to the Saudis, the administration did attempt to demonstrate its commitment to protect Saudi territory by deploying an air force squadron to Saudi Arabia on what was ostensibly a joint training mission, but whose principal function was, apparently, to serve as a deterrent to more broad-based Saudi military attacks by the UAR.

ix Syria Syria’s September1961 military coup and subsequent secession from the UAR had repercussions not only for these two countries but also for other Middle East states and the international community. Collection documents provide material on newly separate, sovereign Syria’s attempt to win international recognition, as well as to regain the UN seat it held before the 1958 union with Egypt. Reel 12 contains interesting documents reporting exchanges among world diplomats and UN officials on resumption of Syrian membership after its secession from the UAR in . Nobody wanted to get into a long debate on the legal justification for Syria’s resumed membership after it had given up its General Assembly seat when it joined the UAR in 1958; everyone seemed to agree, even assembly President Mongi Slim, that the world diplomatic community (except Egypt) should simply agree that there was no legal problem and that Slim would, if there was no objection, invite the Syrian delegate to take his seat. U.S. diplomatic officials additionally devoted much effort to keep Syria and Israel from bursting into open conflict over Israel’s planned diversion of water from Lake Tiberias on the Jordan River, questioned Syria’s requests for aid to dam the River, and monitored political stability in the country. Syrian as well as some U.S. officials worried that Nasser might attempt to take Syria back into the UAR by force. Finally, a useful feature of the collection is its inclusion of a number of documents in which U.S. diplomats and their foreign counterparts attempt to gauge the growing influence of the Ba’ath movement in Syria as well as Iraq, Lebanon, and the UAR.

Turkey According to Central Intelligence Agency documents in this collection, Turkey and Syria were the scenes of nearly constant coup plotting. The collection includes substantial bodies of material on Turkey, covering such subjects as economic policies and conditions, political conditions and parties, Turkey’s relation to the European Economic Community (EEC), Iraq relations, Turkish aid to India, international economic assistance, U.S. missiles in Turkey, and U.S. military aid to Turkey. Charles E. Bohlen, Robert W. Komer, and other top officials supported increased U.S. aid for Turkey, because it was a staunch ally of the United States, was a committed member of NATO, and maintained a strong, disciplined, and dedicated—but poorly equipped—defense force.

United Arab Republic Concerned about the aggressiveness of Gamal Abdel Nasser and his efforts to expand Arab unity, as well as the Soviet Union’s interest in the UAR, the Kennedy administration sought a “limited accommodation” with Nasser (Reel 13, Frame 0915). The collection includes a large number of documents on the intense diplomacy played out by officials in both the United States and the UAR. For their part, Nasser and Kennedy carried on a personal correspondence that was always cordial but often spirited as they debated issues such as U.S. military aid, UAR aid to Yemen’s revolutionary government, UAR military strikes on Saudi Arabia, the Palestine issue, the Cuban missile crisis, and Nasser’s economic plan. Interesting collection documents additionally cover the IMF stabilization program in the UAR, the preservation of the Nubian monuments threatened by the rising waters behind the Aswan High Dam, an economic conference of developing

x countries held in , the “arms race” between the UAR and Israel, and U.S. attempts to induce the UAR and Israel to reach a strategic arms agreement. Highly interesting top secret documents chronicle the planning by administration officials, including President Kennedy, of the mission by special presidential envoy John J. McCloy to try to broker an agreement by—but not directly between—Israel and Egypt to stop any current or planned development of strategic weapons, especially nuclear. A memorandum on a key meeting among Kennedy, McCloy, State Department officials Phillips Talbot and James P. Grant, and national security aides McGeorge Bundy and Robert W. Komer offers fascinating insights into the political calculations used during the Kennedy administration in making policy decisions about the Middle East (Reel 16, Frame 0057). The collection includes a number of memoranda describing such “big guns” meetings with the president. The portrayal of Gamal Abdel Nasser differs markedly among the various U.S. ambassadors who write about him, with the most negative characterizations coming from envoys in Syria and Israel and the most positive, perhaps, from Ambassador John S. Badeau in Cairo. Researchers interested in U.S.-UAR relations, or for that matter in U.S. bilateral relations in general, will want to peruse the detailed administration strategy for building Middle East stability through a long-term strengthening of the U.S. relationship with Egypt. The strategy lists specific policies and the tactics that were being, or would be, used to achieve the goals (Reel 14, Frame 0884).

Yemen The collection includes a large set of documents on the military coup that established the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), as well as on the civil war that followed, as tribes loyal to the royalist regime of Imam Muhammad al-Badr conducted a sustained guerrilla war in the countryside, away from the capital and the large towns. The UAR sent a large number of troops to help the YAR government and its leader Abdullah Al- Sallal consolidate power. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and Jordan sent convoys of weapons to the royalist guerrillas. The UAR initiated a long series of air and naval attacks on the area of Saudi Arabia from which the convoys crossed into Yemen. Concerned that the violence might escalate into a major war between the UAR and Saudi Arabia, the UN sent observers to monitor the “disengagement from Yemen” that was supposed to be taking place on the part of the UAR, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. President Kennedy sent a personal representative, Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker, to Saudi Arabia. Bunker’s mission was, primarily, to convince Prince Faisal that a UN mediator (Bunche) between Cairo and Riyadh constituted the last, best chance to coordinate the mutual disengagement of the UAR and Saudi Arabia from Yemen, and consequently to prevent the Yemen conflict from drawing the two countries into direct war. A Saudi-UAR war did not break out; the Yemen civil war, on the other hand, dragged on for years.

Robert W. Komer One of the more interesting and significant features of this collection is its inclusion of many secret memoranda written by the highly influential National Security Council adviser Robert W. Komer. Addressed to President Kennedy, McGeorge Bundy, Walt W. Rostow, Carl Kaysen, and other top administration officials, these sometimes handwritten letters provided sharp counterpoints to the policy proposals coming from the State Department in Washington, D.C. and the department’s ambassadors abroad—as

xi well as from foreign leaders themselves. One gets the impression that Kennedy and Bundy always wanted Komer’s perspective before making important policy decisions. They may have appreciated his blunt style: Komer seemed to take special delight in cutting through polite, cordial diplomatic language and exposing the underlying motives and strategies of foreign heads of state and their deputies, especially as they attempted to persuade or even “blackmail” the United States into providing military or economic aid, or increasing it. Komer seemed especially annoyed by certain ambassadors that he viewed as unwilling to present tough U.S. policy stances, such as Julius C. Holmes in Iran. Disturbed by Holmes’ too-close relationship with the Shah and his pitching of the Shah’s military aid demands, Komer pleaded to McGeorge Bundy: “Look for a better ambassador, preferably a nonprofessional with drive” (Reel 2, Frame 0853). Komer often expressed frustration with the State Department, as illustrated by his note to Walt Rostow on the department’s cautious approach toward dealings with Egyptian President Gamel Abdel Nasser: “Here again we find a situation where State is moving slowly and cautiously in the same direction we are, but where it is extremely reluctant to look very far ahead and to assess the policy consequences of a more dynamic line of action” (Reel 13, Frame 0875). Komer often was able to marshal powerful allies like Bundy, presidential aide Carl Kaysen, and diplomat W. Averell Harriman. Nicknamed “Blowtorch Bob,” in part for his fiery, cutting style, Komer would later play a leading role in the Vietnam War as head of the U.S. “pacification” effort.

Finally, many collection documents provide interesting glimpses of the importance that protocol played in diplomatic interaction. For example, U.S. envoy Ridgway B. Knight describes the delicate situation in post-coup 1962 Syria: “I told Caride that I would be pleased and interested to exchange ideas with al-Azm, whom I was anxious to know better. In view of the fragility of . . . the present situation, I did not want to do anything which might look as if I was undermining either President Qudsi or Prime Minister Azmah. I feared that calling on Azm or inviting him to the chancery or residence at this time could be so interpreted. If, however, Caride wished to invite us both to a small lunch in his home, I would be glad to accept” (Reel 12, Frame 791).

fter years of failure in its attempt to resettle Palestinian refugees, the United Nations in 1962 sent Special ARepresentative Joseph E. Johnson to the Middle East to lay the groundwork for an agreement among Israel, Jordan, Syria, and the United Arab Republic. Johnson devised a plan that would allow refugees to indicate a preference for repatriation inside Israel or resettlement in Arab countries or elsewhere. Israel feared that most of the refugees would indicate a preference for repatriation, even as U.S. officials reassured them that only a fraction of the refugees would in fact return to live permanently in Israel. Israel refused to budge. The Johnson plan generated intense policy debates within the Kennedy administration, with some officials urging withdrawal of support for the plan because of Israel’s rejection of it, while Dean Rusk and others urged President Kennedy to maintain at least private support for it in communications with Arab leaders, and in the United Nations.

This is just one of the many highly interesting and important issues covered by documents in the UPA collection The John F. Kennedy National Security Files, 1961–1963, Middle East: First Supplement. The collection contains hundreds of recently released documents on national security issues in the Middle East, as well as on the Kennedy administration's efforts both to respond to these developments and to help shape them. The collection includes substantial material on a variety of political, economic, and social topics including Arab-Israeli relations, border conflicts, political conditions, opposition groups, government changes, military coups, arms trade, water sharing, Palestinian refugees, the role of the UN in mediating disputes, cold war politics, domestic Communist activity, economic policy, national planning, U.S. relations, and U.S. economic and military assistance.
