- Extent:
- 7 box(es) and (3.25 linear feet)
- Scope and content:
-
This subseries contains addresses, articles, book reviews, interviews, speeches and speech notes either written or presented by Dean Rusk during his tenure as president of the Rockefeller Foundation, as Secretary of State, and as a faculty member at the University of Georgia School of Law. The arrangement is roughly alphabetical.
The transcripts found in this subseries contain an assortment of information. The usual commencement speeches and college addresses can be found, along with speeches made to various business and civic groups. Of more interest to researchers, perhaps, are his speech note files, which include comments from the 1950's on U.S. actions in the Far East and Southeast Asia, the Japanese Peace Treaty, Korea, concepts of Cold War strategy, parliamentary democracy, and U.S. policy toward Europe's non-NATO commitments. Depositions made by Rusk during the trial of William C. Westmoreland vs. CBS Inc., etal., in 1984 may also prove engaging. Rusk was a prolific writer, and many of the articles and book reviews he penned on international issues and foreign policy are included in these files.
