BÖLÜM IV “Şu Palyaçoları Başından At” Nixon ve Ford Yönetimleri Döneminde CIA 1968 – 1976 28. “O Palyaçolar Orada Ne Yapıyor?” Helms 1968 baharında, tepesine dikilecek yeni patronun, ya Robert Kennedy, ya da Richard Nixon olacağından korkuyordu. Kennedy, teşkilâtın gücünü istismar etmiş, Helms’e de gayet soğuk ve aşağılayıcı tavırlar almıştı. Başkan adayı olur, sonra da seçilip Başkomutan kisvesini de kuşanırsa, teşkilâtın kendisi hakkındaki gizli dosyalarının tehdidini ensesinde hissedecekti. R. Kennedy seçim kampanyası sırasında bir suikasta kurban gitti. Helms, bu cinayete çok şaşırmış ama fazla da üzülmemişti doğrusu. Richard Nixon ise başka türlü bir sorundu. CIA’nın bir yığın tatlı su elitistleri, Kennedy’nin adamları ve dedikoducular ile dolu olduğunu düşünürdü. John Kennedy ile girişip kıl payı kaybettiği seçim yarışı sırasında yaşanan o meşhur TV tartışmasında yediği gollerin paslarını da rakibine, CIA’nın verdiğine inanıyordu. Nixon, eğer o seçimleri kazansaydı, gizli operasyonları yürütmek için CIA dışında bir örgüt kuracağını 1962’de kaleme aldığı hatıralarında (Six Crisis – Altı Kriz) yazmıştı. CIA’nın yüreğini sökeceğini belirtiyordu açıkça. Helms ve Nixon ilk kez 1968 Ağustos’unda, Başkan Johnson’un çiftliğindeki bir yemek sırasında uzun uzadıya konuştular. Nixon Helms’e, K. Vietnamlıların ABD’yi yendiklerine ilişkin düşüncelerinin sürüp sürmediğini sordu. Helms, düşmanın Dien Bien Phu zaferinden beri bu düşüncede olduğunu söyledi. Nixon’un duymak istediği son şeydi bu. Nixon, seçimleri kazandıktan sonra Johnson’a Helms hakkındaki düşüncelerini sordu, onu görevinde tutmalı mıydı? “Yetenekli ve sadık bir adamdır” dedi Johnson, “Ben olsam tutardım”. Helms yakında bu sadakatinin faturasının ne olduğunu öğrenecekti.

Interview with Stephen F. Dachi
Library of Congress Interview with Stephen F. Dachi The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History ProjectInformation Series STEPHEN F. DACHI Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: May 30, 1997 Copyright 2001 ADST Q: Today is May 30, 1997. This is an interview with Stephen F. Dachi. This is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. To begin at the beginning, could you tell me when and where you werborn and something about your family? DACHI: I was born in 1933 in Hungary. My father was a dentist. My mother was a physician. They both died when I was three years old in 1936, before the war. My grandparents “inherited me.” They happened to live in Romania. So, I went there just before the Germans marched into Austria, which is my first memory of arriving in Timisoara to live with my grandparents. Then I spent World War II there with them trying to survive. After the war, in 1948, an uncle and aunt who had gone to Canada before the war brought me out there. Q: During the war, what went on then in Romania, particularly as a Hungarian? There was a massive change of borders and everything else at that time. Did you get caught in that? Interview with Stephen F. Dachi http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000263 Library of Congress DACHI: Very definitely, both that and the Holocaust. It has always been hell for Hungarians living in Romania. Kids would curse and harass us if they overheard us speaking Hungarian in the street.

Notes on Ignatius Global Issues Evening Presentation January 10, 2012 “How Secure Is Our National Security: Where Are the Threats?”
Notes on Ignatius Global Issues Evening Presentation January 10, 2012 “How Secure Is Our National Security: Where Are The Threats?” 1. Opening segment on Republican primary field (in context of it being New Hampshire primary evening). 2. A brief set of comments on how he would expect the President to tout his administration’s foreign policy/defense achievements in the 2012 election: --Has been the most active in effective counterterrorism and strong covert action although covert action will be difficult to talk about. He commented negatively about candidates promising use of covert action. “What is it about ‘covert’ that they don’t understand?” --Has reversed a previous trend of negative views of U.S. around the world --Followed through on exit from Iraq although outcome without U.S. troop presence is worrisome and uncertain. Kurdistan (in the north) is going its own way and doing fine. --Plan for Afghanistan (although Ignatius does not feel that the strategy there has been an effective one and it is not clear that the exit planned will be an easy one) --Afghanistan, he noted, is of importance to the U.S. only because of bordering Pakistan and its proximity to Pak nuclear weapons, the security of which is of paramount concern --Success claimed in Libya 3. National security threat highlights --Iran. Economic sanctions are working and are likely to be intensified (particularly related to pushing other countries to not buy Iranian oil). Iran is feeling the pressure and is operating wildly and erratically. He quoted Harvard Kennedy School professor, Graham Allison as saying that Iran is “the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’ in slow motion.” Although there is no enthusiasm in the Administration for war with Iran, it is likely there will be some sort of confrontation sometime—just unclear when.

United States Policy Toward Guatemala an Annotated Bibliography
United States Policy Toward Guatemala An annotated bibliography By Eric Jenes December 4, 2008 LIS 541: Government Documents Final Project 1 INTRODUCTION The United States has long had interest in the Central American republic of Guatemala. During the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century, Guatemala was a major agricultural exporter to the U.S., largely through the Untied Fruit Co. In 1944, students lead a revolution in Guatemala which eventually overthrew a right-wing leader whom the Americans had friendly relations. Following the ascension of President Arbenz, a communist sympathizing leader, the United States funneled military assistance to capitalist dissidents and military leaders. This lead to a coup in 1954, which was followed by close to forty years of civil war between the government of Guatemala and armed guerillas. Through those periods of warfare, U.S. administrations offered military and security assistance to the Guatemalan regimes, though often with reservations. In the mid 90s, the UN brokered a peace agreement between the government and rebel guerillas groups. Today, U.S.-Guatemalan relations are focused on expanding free trade and fighting drug trafficking. METHODOLOGY The documents assembled in this bibliography were culled from a variety of sources. The Congressional Serial Set, THOMAS, and GPO Access were all useful in researching U.S. policy toward Guatemala in Congressional and Executive acts. While print collections were useful for a few State Department documents, free text searching helped differentiate between meaningful and unhelpful documents. There were 2 numerous bills that mentioned, or dealt with Guatemala, but few actually articulated U.S.

A Conversation with Ambassador Ryan Crocker” Moderated by Ambassador Marilyn Mcafee
Ambassador Ryan Crocker Notes on Remarks March 19, 2013 The River Club “A Conversation with Ambassador Ryan Crocker” Moderated by Ambassador Marilyn McAfee Q. An Ambassador’s “tool box” is very limited. What did you find most effective and useful in accomplishing your objectives? The most important asset is personal relationships. In the State Department funding is very limited. An ambassador needs to look for funds from other better financed agencies that comprise the Country Team. USAID and the military are two good sources. The military particularly appreciates ideas for good projects. They can do things quickly. Q. As U.S. Ambassador you are the President’s personal representative, but you report to the Secretary of State and as was the case in Iraq and Afghanistan, you have a large in- country U.S. military presence with a four-star (general) in charge. How do you make that work?” We had joint satellite conferences with the key players in Washington so we were always on the same page and decisions once made were clear. It’s a lot harder to coordinate and get decisions at the middle level. At the top it’s easy. The President decides and that’s it. It worked that way with two Presidents. Q. The recent issue of Foreign Policy refers to “militarized foreign policy”. What is the best model? There is the Afghanistan and Iraq model with U.S. troops on the ground, then Libya with U.S. arms, air power and no troops and now Syria and Mali where we are reluctant to get involved in helping.
