SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The U.S. State Department Central Files are the definitive source of American diplomatic reporting on political, military, social, and economic developments throughout the world in the twentieth century. This edition consists of the Central Files for Iraq for the period between February 1963 and 1966. The files are arranged according to the State Department Records Classification System, February 1963–1973. The subjects from the classification system included in this edition are AID (Foreign Economic Assistance), CSM (Communism), DEF (Defense Affairs), and POL (Political Affairs and Relations). The files consist of cables and letters sent and received by U.S. diplomats and embassy personnel; reports on meetings between U.S. and foreign government officials and leaders; newspaper clippings and translations from journals and newspapers; transcripts of speeches; and reports and observations on political, military, and social affairs. This edition of the Central Files for Iraq consists of two different sections. The first section contains only files from February to December 1963 and covers AID, CSM, DEF, and POL. The collection then starts over at the end of Reel 4 in the AID section for the remaining years of 1964–1966 and continues in this vein with the remaining categories of CSM, DEF, and POL for 1964– 1966. The events and aftereffects of two successful coup attempts in 1963 may explain the need to delineate the collection by date as well as subject. Major topics for all years include internal political and social instability due to numerous successful and unsuccessful coup attempts as well as the various minority ethnic and political groups vying for representation and power, the ongoing conflict with Kurdish fighters in the north and the subsequent tension this created for Iraq domestically and diplomatically, and external tensions and pressures from Iraq’s neighbors in the Middle East as well as from competing U.S.-USSR ideologies. The first section begins with all documents pertaining to the period between February and December 1963. The 1963 documents contain a brief AID series that outlines proposed economic, agricultural, and technical relief programs from both U.S. allies and the Soviet bloc. The researcher will find diplomatic discussions on the relationship between aid programs and communism, notably the desire to lessen Iraq’s dependency on Soviet aid and increase dependence on the United States and its allies. Specific food and medical aid

v to Kurdish areas also figures prominently in this section. Within the Food for Peace program, for example, specific attention is given to the needs in Kurdish areas due to prolonged fighting. Extensive lists of agricultural commodities shipped to Iraq as part of the Food for Peace program will give researchers a general sense of agricultural prices, currency rates, and the food supply situation in Iraq. The Iraqi government also continually asked for technical assistance from the Tennessee Valley Authority on a fertilizer plant project, which is prominently covered in this section. Following the AID section is a brief CSM section. The CSM section mainly deals with communism as it relates to internal Iraqi security, namely the Kurdish conflict. Communism is often linked with relief efforts and support to Kurdish rebels as well as the Abdul Karim Qassim government. The Qassim government had close ties to the USSR, but it was overthrown in February 1963 by an anti-Communist movement. Researchers can thus see a nation in transition, trying to establish its own legitimacy and a healthy dependence on outside forces. The DEF category follows CSM and mainly covers proposed arms sales to Iraq from various foreign governments. Due to the overthrow of the Qassim government, the new Iraqi leaders begin to turn to the United States and its allies in lieu of continued support from the Soviet bloc. A portion of the DEF category also deals with the Syro-Iraqi military union with international reaction to the pact. The POL category constitutes the largest portion of the 1963 files and the collection as a whole. The POL category begins with a series of Joint Weeka reports that highlight Iraq’s relations with its neighbors, mainly , Kuwait, and Egypt. A large number of documents chronicle the discussion within Iraq on whether or not to recognize Kuwait as an independent state. The bulk of the POL category contains documents highlighting internal Iraqi struggles such as two successful coups, in February and November 1963, as well as unsuccessful coups. Also highlighted in both governmental and Kurdish documents is the conflict against the in northern Iraq. Documents such as the one detailing a Duke Ellington concert in Baghdad the day before a successful coup in November 1963 will give researchers an idea of the unpredictable and constantly changing political atmosphere. The last few frames of Reel 4 begin with a new section of AID documents from the remaining years of coverage, 1964–1966. These AID documents briefly highlight the Food for Peace program, most notably U.S. government plans to phase out the program in Iraq. Quite a large portion of this AID section contains documents from an educational exchange program whereby Iraqis were allowed to study at U.S. institutions in order to enhance Iraqi understanding in areas such as science, engineering, and public health. These documents contain information on programs of study and institutions represented as well as summary reports after participants exited the program.

vi Following this second AID section is a very brief CSM section. This section contains a brief history of communism in Iraq with special reference to Soviet and Chinese influence. The DEF section for 1964–1966 briefly discusses Iraq’s relations with its neighbors, mainly the (UAR) and Kuwait. One large set of documents outlines an interesting discussion between the U.S. State Department and various U.S. companies involving a proposed deal to provide an air defense radar and communication system to Iraq. The documents note that the United States did not want to provide a very sophisticated system to the Iraqis but rather one that would be competitive enough for the Iraqi government to select the product over a foreign company. The largest section for 1964–1966 is once again the POL section. The bulk of the documents cover internal Iraqi problems such as constantly changing cabinets and the continuing conflict with the Kurds in the north. Of note is the death of Iraqi President Abd al-Salam Muhammad Aref and the election of his brother Abd al-Rahman Aref in April 1966. During this period, the conflict with the Kurds caused internal instability by exacerbating tensions between Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Israel, Jordan, the United States, and the USSR, all of whom had sometimes competing aims and means in regard to solving the Kurdish conflict. This POL section highlights deteriorating relations between Iraq and both Syria and Iran, as well as the on-again, off-again Arab unity relationship with and the UAR. As a supplement to the Iraq-Iran tensions from 1964–1966, researchers can find approximately five hundred frames in the second POL section from the Central Files for Iran for the same period. The inclusion of these frames will allow researchers to view the growing Iraq-Iran tensions from a different perspective. These Iran frames also give researchers a glimpse into Iran under the shah and before actual conflict erupted between Iraq and Iran in the 1980s. The documents cover growing border incursions and violations, as well as unreliable communication between the two countries due to inconsistent diplomatic representation. Main topics of discussion include the dispute over the Shatt al-Arab, Iranian aid to the Kurds, and the shah’s hatred and distrust of Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser. The shah perceived Nasser to have a growing influence over Iraq due to the Arab unity push between the UAR and Iraq. Due to the Iraqi government’s increasing calls for Arab unity during this period, many prominent Middle Eastern personalities are represented in the collection. Egypt’s Nasser has a prominent position in relation to Arab unity talks, but also in relation to internal Iraqi struggles between self-proclaimed Nasserites and anti-Nasserites. Other prominent persons include Iraqi President Abd al-Salam Muhammad Aref and his successor Abd al-Rahman Aref, Kurdish leaders Mullah and Jalal Talabani, and the shah of Iran, with brief notable mention of the Ayatollah Khomeini’s actions in

vii exile in Iraq. One document notes, for example, that Khomeini is isolated and exiled in Iraq and unable to do any harm. This edition of the U.S. State Department Central Files contains a wealth of valuable information pertinent to Middle East history and current events. Topics such as internal stability, outside interference, relations with other Middle Eastern nations, ethnic groups and conflict, political tensions, and self- identification figure prominently in this collection. In addition, researchers can glimpse the tip of events such as the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the Iran-, the intense Kurdish conflict, and the rise to power of the Ba’ath Party during the period covered. Other collections of interest from LexisNexis include the following: Confidential U.S. State Department Central Files, Iraq: Internal Affairs and Foreign Affairs, 1945–1963; Confidential U.S. State Department Central Files, Palestine-Israel, 1945–1966; Confidential U.S. State Department Central Files, Saudi Arabia, 1945–1963; The Lyndon B.

EDITORIAL NOTE

The Subject-Numeric Files for February 1963 through July 1973 are arranged by subject-numeric categories, not by country. Therefore, some file folders will contain multiple subject categories. In addition, some folders will have more than one country represented by a single subject category. LexisNexis has microfilmed all available documents relating to the subject categories listed above for the State Department’s country designation for Iraq. Only exact duplicates have been excluded. In addition to the documents, LexisNexis has filmed file folders when possible. LexisNexis has microfilmed the documents as they are arranged at the National Archives. A small number of Document Withdrawal Sheets exist in the files, and LexisNexis has filmed them. Withdrawal sheets itemize documents that have been withdrawn from the files by the National Archives staff due to national security reasons. Withdrawal sheets note the date of the document, the sender and recipient, and the subject of the withdrawn item.

ix x STATE DEPARTMENT RECORDS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM, FEBRUARY 1963–JULY 1973

Essential to the effective administration of the State Department and its overseas posts is the management of records. In keeping with the State Department’s program to improve and modernize its administrative processes, the department developed a new comprehensive records classification system in February–March 1963 (used until July 1973). This new uniform file system enabled users to file and find material rapidly—the usefulness of recorded information being largely dependent upon the logical arrangement of records. The new system applied to both official and working files. The new system was based on several years of research and embodied many substantial contributions made by departmental and overseas personnel. An effort had been made to provide sufficient flexibility and subject matter coverage to meet the needs of offices and posts both large and small.

A. PURPOSE AND SCOPE The new Records Classification System embodied a uniform official file system to be used throughout the department and its overseas posts. It was intended for use by operating offices as well as by departmental and post central files operations. The new system did not apply to certain types of case files, however, such as official personnel files, security investigative files, voucher files, and so forth. Offices continued to maintain chronological files where necessary or desirable.

B. ARRANGEMENT AND CONTENT

1. Subject File Outlines The attached file outlines [provided by LexisNexis beginning on page xvii] comprise the new file system. They were arranged within seven broad subject matter areas (known earlier as classes), with each including specific subdivisions of related secondary and tertiary code symbols.

xi 2. Special Instructions

a. International Organizations and Conferences This system provided a special method for handling records accumulated in large quantities by offices that were primarily interested in a specific organization or conference rather than in the subject matter with which it dealt. Use of this special feature of the new file system afforded such offices a method for organizing this type of record material to meet their own reference needs within the framework of the new system. It proved of particular use to the Bureau of International Organization Affairs and to United States Missions to international organizations, such as the U.S. Delegation.

b. Commercial Officers This instruction to the system was prepared in cooperation with the Department of Commerce for the special guidance of commercial officers in their use of the new file system. It provided for pre-coding of commercial- economic reports with the appropriate subject matter code symbols.

c. Peace Corps Representatives This instruction to the system was prepared in cooperation with the Peace Corps for the guidance of its field representatives in records organization and maintenance. It prescribed the use of the appropriate administrative subject outlines for Peace Corps records administration.

d. U.S. Information Service (USIS) Special subject designations were developed in cooperation with the U.S. Information Agency for use by those posts at which USIS files were maintained by the post’s Central Records Unit. These designations were included in the Culture & Information subject outline.

C. TYPE OF SYSTEM

1. Subject-Numeric System The new uniform file system was of the subject-numeric type. It was selected because of the flexibility that it provided for expansion purposes and the simplicity of file designations for marking purposes. A mnemonic symbol was selected for each of the fifty-five primary subjects for which file outlines had been developed. These symbols ranged from one to four letters in length and had been chosen because of their meaning or obvious relationship to the subject matter for which they stood. In some cases the symbol was identical with an office symbol (e.g., PPT for & , AV for Aviation

xii (Civil)). In other cases the key letters in the primary subject constituted the symbol (e.g., CON for Consular Affairs (General), REF for Refugees & Migration, AGR for Agriculture (General)). While many small offices used the primary subjects alone, larger offices required further breakdowns of the primary subjects for more detailed subject matter coverage. Simple serial numbers were assigned to subject breakdowns at both the secondary and tertiary level. A paper relating to the subject of agricultural production in general, for example, was classified AGR 12; a paper dealing with technological advances in agricultural production was AGR 12-1. The most detailed subdivision contained no more than four digits, making for a relatively simple file designation. A Sample Reel Index entry with Subject-Numeric Codes is on page xxix.

Subject-Numeric Symbol

Primary Subject—Finance FN 6-1 Tertiary Subject—Loans

Secondary Subject—Domestic

2. Use of Identical Numbers for Similar Subject As an additional aid, the same number was assigned to similar secondary and tertiary subjects appearing in different subject file outlines. In most outlines the first five secondary subjects were standard (e.g., General Policy, Plans, and Programs; General Reports and Statistics; Organizations and Conferences; Agreements and Treaties; and Laws and Regulations). This same principle was applied to other similar or related subjects (e.g., Communist Bloc activities in aid, trade, and educational and cultural fields were assigned a “6” number—AID 6, FT 6, EDU 6, respectively; production and consumption was assigned a “12” number in the various industry outlines—AGR 12, INCO 12, PET 12).

3. Expansion of Existing Subjects While no attempt was made to provide breakdowns for subject matter beyond the tertiary level, there were cases in which an office might want or need to subdivide a secondary or tertiary subject alphabetically by name, geographic location, or other appropriate breakdown. Papers relating to visits by foreign dignitaries, for example, were subdivided by name (e.g., POL 7 Visits— Adenauer); papers relating to a trade fair by location (e.g., TP 8 Fairs— Moscow); or papers relating to a thermal power project by type (e.g., FSE 12 Electric Power—Thermal).

Tertiary Subject—Acceptability Primary Subject—Political POL 17-1 IRAQ-US and Accreditation, between Iraq Affairs and Relations and U.S.

Secondary Subject—Diplomatic and Consular Representation

D. SPECIAL FEATURES

1. Flexibility Flexibility was an important feature of the uniform file system. The new system embodied an unusual amount of flexibility by providing users with several methods of arranging material according to their specific requirements. Three important areas of choice are indicated below:

a. Subject vs. Geographic Arrangement Within each subject file outline, where appropriate, alternative ways of arranging material by subject or area/country were possible. An office interested only in a specific subject without regard to country selected the method of arrangement described above. An office that was primarily interested in specific subject matter but with a secondary concern for a geographic area or country selected the method described in Instruction “C” (Type of System). A geographic bureau or other office primarily concerned with a specific country used the method of arranging first by country and thereunder by subject described in Instruction “B” (Arrangement and Content).

b. Treatment of International Organizations and Conferences Most offices accumulated a varying amount of material on international organizations and conferences in which the U.S. government was represented or participated. The interests of each office and its responsibility for international organization and conference activities determined the amount of record material that it accumulated and the method by which it arranged material to meet user needs. An office that had a limited interest in such organizations and conferences and accumulated a relatively small quantity of papers probably found the “3” (Organizations and Conferences) classification within the appropriate subject outline adequate. An office that had a major interest in and responsibility for an organization, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and

xiv Development (OECD), or the World Health Organization (WHO), however, adopted the method of arrangement described in Instruction “D” (Special Features). Under this arrangement a special subject file by title of organization was set up under the appropriate subject outline, using any of the secondary or tertiary breakdowns as necessary. The Bureau of International Organization Affairs, special missions to international organizations, and other offices that accumulated a large volume of material on a specific organization or conference used the special instruction method of arrangement. This instruction contained a standard list of administrative subjects common to international organizations and conferences. It also provided a unique method of arranging substantive program material relating to the specific organization or conference by selecting appropriate subjects, permitting an organizational approach within the framework of a uniform subject system.

c. Treatment of Industries and Commodities Because of the importance of the commercial-economic reporting program, special attention was given to the treatment of industries and commodities under the new file system. Specific subject outlines were developed for the most significant industries, such as Agriculture (General), Fuels & Energy, Petroleum, Telecommunications, and Transportation. With the exception of Agriculture (General), these industry outlines covered the related commodities and products as well. To take care of the large number of other industries, commodities, products, and specific agricultural crops, an alphabetical guide was developed as an adjunct to the Industries & Commodities (General) outline. This list, referred to as INCO (specific), provided offices with a simple method of filing materials on specific commodities, regardless of whether they were in their natural or manufactured state. Instructions preceding the alphabetical listing offered users a choice of methods of arrangement within the list. One office may have preferred to group all minerals and metals together, for example, while another office may have found it preferable to file by the specific mineral or metal.

2. Detailed Instructions (Miscellaneous) In addition to the instructions above, alternative methods of arrangement, detailed statements, or explanations of the coverage of specific secondary and tertiary breakdowns of the primary subject were provided on an ad hoc basis. Specific cross-references to related subject matter within the same or in other outlines were also indicated. Classifiers found these instructions useful in determining proper file designations, particularly in the case of subject matter that may not have been familiar to them.

xv 3. Country Symbols A list of standard country abbreviations was used for coding papers relating to specific countries. See page xix for list.

REEL INDEX

Entries in this index refer to specific documents within Confidential U.S. State Department Central Files, Iraq, February 1963–1966, Part 1: Political, Governmental, and National Defense Affairs. These documents are arranged by the Subject File Outlines noted in the “State Department Records Classification System, February 1963–July 1973,” on page xi. See the Sample Subject File and Reel Index entries highlighted on page xxix for a description of the arrangement of the information in this guide. For some subjects, LexisNexis has included additional topics (enclosed in brackets) following the subject description. In addition, for those subjects numbering more than one hundred pages, LexisNexis has subdivided these groupings chronologically by month and year. LexisNexis has filmed these documents as they are filed at the National Archives. In some cases, there are documents that appear to have been misclassified by the Department of State. LexisNexis has retained the original subject-numeric symbol and, within brackets, enclosed a different subject-numeric symbol and its accompanying subject citation. LexisNexis has microfilmed the documents as they are arranged in the original collection, even when it is apparent that a document has been misfiled. Many reel index entries include country abbreviations. Researchers can find a Country Abbreviations list on page xix of this guide. The four-digit number on the far left represents the frame number at which a particular subject-numeric classification begins.
