  • India-Pakistan Conflict: Records of the Us State Department, February 1963
    http://gdc.gale.com/archivesunbound/ INDIA-PAKISTAN CONFLICT: RECORDS OF THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT, FEBRUARY 1963-1966 Over 16,000 pages of State Department Central Files on India and Pakistan from 1963 through 1966 make this collection a standard documentary resource for the study of the political relations between India and Pakistan during a crucial period in the Cold War and the shifting alliances and alignments in South Asia. Date Range: 1963-1966 Content: 15,387 images Source Library: U.S. National Archives Detailed Description: Relations with Pakistan have demanded a high proportion of India’s international energies and undoubtedly will continue to do so. India and Pakistan have divergent national ideologies and have been unable to establish a mutually acceptable power equation in South Asia. The national ideologies of pluralism, democracy, and secularism for India and of Islam for Pakistan grew out of the pre-independence struggle between the Congress and the All-India Muslim League, and in the early 1990s the line between domestic and foreign politics in India’s relations with Pakistan remained blurred. Because great-power competition—between the United States and the Soviet Union and between the Soviet Union and China—became intertwined with the conflicts between India and Pakistan, India was unable to attain its goal of insulating South Asia from global rivalries. This superpower involvement enabled Pakistan to use external force in the face of India’s superior endowments of population and resources. The most difficult problem in relations between India and Pakistan since partition in August 1947 has been their dispute over Kashmir.

The 80,000-acre park encompasses a great diversity of cultural and natural resources in and around the Bay Area of San Francisco, California. It includes Muir Woods National Monument and Fort Point National Historic Site. The park holds almost five million three-dimensional and documentary artifacts dating from the time before European contact to the present. They are preserved and maintained for the public by the Division of Cultural Resources and Museum Management, which includes the Park Archives and Records Center (PARC). Park Archives and Records Center (PARC) Historical Note GGNRA and the sites within it have been collecting records since their inception. The PARC was established in 1994 to receive records and archival collections from the U.S. Army and the Presidio Army Museum after the closure of the Presidio of San Francisco as an Army base. The collections continue to grow through the donation of materials by private individuals, transfer of inactive park records by staff, and acquisition of relevant documentary materials.

  • 22 November 1963: Where Were You?
    22 November 1963: Where Were You? Our Class had a unique relationship with President John F. Kennedy. He became president when we became upper class. He was a Navy Man, war hero, skipper of PT- 109. He loved football and the Army-Navy game. We lost our ‘rubbers’ when we marched in his Inaugural Parade, and we lost our innocence on 22 November 1963. Our experiences that day were unique, and for the first time since throwing our hats in Halsey Field House five months earlier, we were all unified via a single event. What is your story? Where were you when you first heard that the President had been assassinated? Our classmates contributed the following memories. Ron Walters (6th Co): I remember that day. I was on the USS Cromwell (DE- 1014) off the coast of Brazil when President Kennedy was assassinated. Mike Blackledge (4th Co): I had just returned from [grad school] math class at North Carolina State and as I came through the quadrangle, I heard the radios reporting from the open windows of the dormitories. I received a second shock when one of the undergrads called out, “Hey, I wonder what Jackie’s doing tonight?” Two different worlds. Bob Lagassa (2nd Co): I will never forget that day. I, along with a large group of '63 classmates, was in the middle of a typical Submarine School day of study and lectures at SubBase New London when we heard the fateful news. We were stunned, shocked, angry, tearful! Classes were suspended the remainder of the day and we went to our loved ones for consolation.

  • The Foreign Service Journal, September 1964
    George Washington Never Slept Here! T et’s talk about your Security and about SECURITY NA¬ TIONAL BANK. The future of both can be inseparable. The decision is yours. AVTe’re not the oldest nor the largest Bank in the Washington area. ’ V Abraham Lincoln was never a depositor and George Washington never slept here. Jh fact, figures published on July 19 by the Washington STAR indicate that there’s been precious little sleeping by SECURITY NATIONAL BANK since its 1960 founding. We take pride in re-publishing the following deposit totals of SECURITY as listed in the STAR, which dramatize our solid growth: June 29, 1963 April 15, 1964 June 30, 1964 $6,818,315 $10,483,722 $11,017,322 The trend is markedly toward suburban banking and SECURITY NAIIONAL BANK is an outstanding example of a successful Washington suburban financial institution featuring “banking by mail. Overseas Americans, long accustomed to the names of a mere half-dozen or so Washington banks, have a shock in store. Many factors, not the least of them the population explosion, have drastically changed the banking habits of Americans, and produced suburban banks offering numerous advantages over old-line institutions headquartered in downtown, congested areas. In fact, suburban Virginia and Maryland banks in the area contiguous to the District of Columbia now are growing faster than those of “downtown Washington,” according to the STAR in the same July 19 article. And its figures prove conclusively that SECURITY NATIONAL BANK is among the leaders of these suburban banks in solid growth. So it’s easy to see why more and more Americans, at home and abroad, are “banking in person and “banking by mail” with SECURITY.

  • Turkey Vulture Migration in Veracruz, Mexico
    426 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS as scattered small groups of vultures were seen as we traveled south to the city of Veracruz. More small flocks were seen west of Veracruz on the following day. The migrating vultures seemed to be restricted to the coastal lowlands since no additional flocks were seen once we left that area. Similar flights have been observed during autumn in Panama by Loftin (Carib. J. Sci., 3:63- 64, 1963) and Hicks, Rogers, and Child (Bird-Banding, 37:123, 1966). Eisenmann (Smithson. Misc. Coll., 117: 13, 1952) has reported large flocks over Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, in the spring. Of the studies on the birds of Veracruz, only Wetmore (Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus., 93:237, 1943) has commented on a large migration of Turkey Vultures. He observed the steady passage of numerous small groups of vultures through southern Veracruz on 6 and 10 April 1939. His largest group contained about 50 birds. To the best of our knowledge, our obser- vation is the first record of large migratory flocks of Turkey Vultures in Veracruz.-LouIs J.
