SOUTHEAST ASIA Southeast Asia is defined here to include Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and the Solomon Islands. References to other nations such as Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Micronesia, and New Zealand are included normally only as they relate to the specified Southeast Asian region. More comprehensive coverage of these areas may be included in future guides to the Library’s holdings on East Asia and South Asia. A guide to holdings relating to Korea is available upon request. This guide is intended to facilitate research in the Eisenhower Library’s holdings on topics relating to Southeast Asia and the United States’ involvement with that area. The Library’s Southeast Asia related holdings are diverse with information found in certain U.S. Army unit records pertaining to the Philippine Insurrection in 1901-1902 with other material created as recently as the mid 1970s. While, as expected, the greatest bulk of documentation falls into the period of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Presidency, 1953-1961, much can be found here relating to Southeast Asia during World War II and during the 1960s and early 1970s. General Eisenhower’s Pre-Presidential Papers and papers of certain of his military associates’ document his service in the Philippines from 1935-1939. Information on the conduct of World War II operations in the Southwest Theater including the Philippines and the New Guinea area can be found in the records of United States Army units such as the First Cavalry Division and many others. Considerable detailed documentation can be found here pertaining to J. Lawton Collins’s mission to Vietnam in 1954-1955, U.S. diplomatic planning regarding Indochina during the spring and summer of 1954, and U.S. efforts to provide economic and military assistance to individual Southeast Asian countries. The President’s papers contain correspondence exchanged with heads of the individual governments in this area as well as memoranda of presidential conversations and National Security Council discussions of Southeast Asia. Certain collections such as the Papers of Arthur Flemming, and Dwight Eisenhower’s Post-Presidential Papers document the divergent views in the United States concerning the Vietnam War during the 1960s. The Papers of David Osborn contain a small but interesting body of Department of State messages concerning Burma and Southeast Asia during the 1970s. These are merely a few samples of the diverse documentation found in our holdings. The staff hopes that this guide will encourage research on many topics and will assist researchers in identifying widely scattered documentation, much of which might not be expected to be found at the Eisenhower Library. This guide should not be considered definitive as the staff cannot guarantee that it has identified every item in our holdings relating to Southeast Asia. It almost certainly has not. Therefore researchers are urged to use finding aids to individual collections in addition to this guide. We also encourage suggestions for improving the guide such as the addition of relevant materials not initially included. Collections listed herein are fully processed and available for research unless indicated otherwise. Some documents are still security-classified and are unavailable for research until they are declassified. Notations indicating that portions of a given collection are security-classified are included with each collection entry. Because declassification is an ongoing process at the Eisenhower Library, researchers are encouraged to consult with the Library staff concerning the classification status of certain documents or categories of documents. 1 For further information concerning the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library’s holdings relating to Southeast Asia or other topics, please contact the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library staff. The address is: DWIGHT D.

    US Army Was Already Upset About Its Losses from Deep Personnel and White House Photo Via National Archives Budget Cuts When Gen

    National Park Service photo by Abbie Rowe By John T. Correll US Army was already upset about its losses from deep personnel and White House photo via National Archives budget cuts when Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor arrived as the new Chief of Defense Technical Information Center photo Staff in June 1955. Army strength was down by almost a third since the Korean War and the Army share of the budget was dropping steadily. These reductions were the result of the “New Look” defense program, introduced in 1953 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the “Massive Retaliation” strategy that went with it. New Look was focused on the threat of Soviet military power, putting greater reliance on strategic airpower and nuclear weapons and less emphasis on the kind of wars the Army fought. US planning was based on the standard of general war; the limited conflict in Korea was regarded as an aberration. If for some reason another small or limited war had to be fought, the US armed forces, organized and equipped for general war, would handle it as a “lesser included contingency.” New Look—so called because Eisenhower had ordered a “new fresh survey of our military capabilities”—was driven by the belief that adequate security was possible at lower cost, especially if general purpose forces overseas were thinned out. Another factor was the recognition that NATO could not match the con- ventional forces of the Soviet Union, which had 175 divisions—30 of them in Europe—and 6,000 aircraft based forward. So in 1952, the US and its allies had adopted a strategy centered on a nuclear response to attack.

    Ref#: FDRTR-01 FDR Presidential Library / FDR Library Transcriptions page 1 of 25 As Given / Session 1 Cynthia M. Koch: Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States. Franklin D. Roosevelt: Tonight, sitting at my desk in the White House, I make my first radio report to the people in my second term of office. I want to talk with you very simply tonight about the need for present action, the need to meet the unanswered challenge of one-third of a nation ill-nourished, ill-clad, ill-housed. The Courts, however, have cast doubts on the ability of the elected Congress to protect us against catastrophe by meeting squarely our modern social and economic conditions. In the last four years the sound rule of giving statutes the benefit of all reasonable doubt has been cast aside. The Court has been acting not as a judicial body, but as a policy-making body. We have, therefore, reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself. What is my proposal? It is simply this: whenever a Judge or Justice of any Federal Court has reached the age of seventy and does not avail himself of the opportunity to retire on a pension, a new member shall be appointed by the President then in office, with the approval, as required by the Constitution, of the Senate of the United States. This plan will save our national Constitution from hardening of the judicial arteries. Those opposing the plan have sought to arouse prejudice and fear by crying that I am seeking to "pack" the Supreme Court and that a baneful precedent will be established.

Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

Weinberger, not a defense technocrat, managed a massive defense buildup of 1.5 trillion dollars over a four year period. A biographical approach to Weinberger illuminates Reagan’s selection, for in many ways Weinberger harkens back to an earlier type of defense manager more akin to Elihu Root than Robert McNamara; more a man of letters than technocrat.

    China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States

    Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

No restrictions were placed on the material. Linear feet of shelf space occupied: .4 Approximate number of pages: 250 Approximate number of items: 50 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Colonel Edmund Ellis was a member of the U.S. Military Academy Class of 1915. This class included Henry Aurand, Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Leonard, Henry Sayler, James Van Fleet, and a number of other famous generals. Ellis served as class secretary for many years and compiled periodic news letters which contained information about the members of the class and their families. Copies of the news letters were distributed to surviving classmates and spouses. In 1971 Ellis began donating copies of the newsletter to the Eisenhower Library. This collection contains the newsletters from 1971 to 1982 as well as some earlier printed material on the class and some memorabilia relating to West Point and class reunions. The newsletter was discontinued after 1982 due to the decline in the number of classmates. By 1991 Colonel Ellis and General Van Fleet were the only two surviving members of the class. Ellis, who was born in March 1890, became the oldest living graduate of West Point in October 1990.
  • Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group

    Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group

    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY OF INTEREST TO THE NAZI WAR CRIMES AND JAPANESE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS INTERAGENCY WORKING GROUP The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library holds a large quantity of documentation relating to World War II and to the Cold War era. Information relating to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and by the Japanese Government during World War II can be found widely scattered within the Library’s holdings. The Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group is mandated to identify, locate and, as necessary, declassify records pertaining to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and Japan. In order to assist the Interagency Working Group in carrying out this mission, the Library staff endeavored to identify historical documentation within its holdings relating to this topic. The staff conducted its search as broadly and as thoroughly as staff time, resources, and intellectual control allowed and prepared this guide to assist interested members of the public in conducting research on documents relating generally to Nazi and Japanese war crimes. The search covered post- war references to such crimes, the use of individuals who may have been involved in such crimes for intelligence or other purposes, and the handling of captured enemy assets. Therefore, while much of the documentation described herein was originated during the years when the United States was involved in World War II (1939 to 1945) one marginal document originated prior to this period can be found and numerous post-war items are also covered, especially materials concerning United States handling of captured German and Japanese assets and correspondence relating to clemency for Japanese soldiers convicted and imprisoned for war crimes.

  • The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border

    The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border

    The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border Qingfei Yin The intense and volatile relations between China and Vietnam in the dyadic world of the Cold War have drawn scholarly attention to the strategic concerns of Beijing and Hanoi. In this article I move the level of analysis down to the border space where the peoples of the two countries meet on a daily basis. I examine the tug-of-war between the states and smuggling networks on the Sino-Vietnamese border during the second half of the twentieth century and its implications for the present-day bilateral relationship. I highlight that the existence of the historically nonstate space was a security concern for modernizing states in Asia during and after the Cold War, which is an understudied aspect of China’s relations with Vietnam and with its Asian neighbors more broadly. The border issue between China and its Asian neighbors concerned not only territorial disputes and demarcation but also the establishment of state authority in marginal societies. Keywords: smuggler, antismuggling, border, Sino-Vietnamese relations, tax. Historically, the Chinese empire and, to a lesser extent, the Dai Nam empire that followed the Chinese bureaucratic model had heavyweight states with scholar-officials chosen by examination in the Confucian classics (Woodside 1971). However, as the proverb goes, the mountain is high, and the emperor is far away. Vast distances and weak connections existed between the central government and ordinary people. Central authorities thus had little influence over local affairs, including their own street-level bureaucracies.
