SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The National Security Files (NSF) were the working files of President John F.

Kennedy’s special assistant for national security affairs, McGeorge Bundy. These NSF Country Files for Asia, arranged alphabetically by country, provide an in-depth look into foreign policy decision making in the period 1961–1963. Memoranda, cables, intelligence reports, correspondence, and special studies are arranged chronologically within each country, allowing the researcher to follow on a day-to-day basis the administration’s handling of crises and to trace the evolution of major policies. Documents in this collection originated in the offices of Bundy and his assistants, Walt W. Rostow and Carl Kaysen; in the various executive departments and agencies, especially those having to do with foreign affairs and national defense; and in diplomatic and military posts around the world.

The Kennedy administration, while short-lived, had a lasting impact on U.S. policy in Asia. Although documents pertaining to Vietnam are contained in a separate collection, many of the same issues that led the United States into the Vietnam War are reflected here in crises facing other Southeast Asian nations, notably Laos and Cambodia. The 1950s through the 1970s witnessed a protracted struggle in Asia between communism and the West, a struggle that morphed into a tense standoff between the United States and the combined, though fractious, forces of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The struggle for Korea in the 1950s ended in a stalemate, but by the 1970s a weary United States was forced to concede a Communist rout in Indochina as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia all fell to communism.

The struggle against communism, however, was just one element in the rich, varied history of Asia in the 1960s. While the postcolonial period ended in bloodshed and Communist victory in Southeast Asia, other parts of the continent fared better as the former European powers withdrew. Indonesia, for example, gained its independence in 1949 after a four-year struggle with the Netherlands; by the early 1960s, Indonesia and the Netherlands were once again facing off, this time over the fate of West New Guinea (WNG). The documents also follow in considerable detail the contentious but ultimately successful emergence of the new Malaysia federation, carved out of previously independent territories including Malaya, Singapore, and North Borneo. These new countries, along with Thailand and India, proved that a middle way was possible between communism and the West; indeed, both Indonesia and India, two of the largest Asian nations, were leaders in a nascent “non-aligned” movement that sought to carve out a neutralist alternative to the starkly dualist struggle between communism and the West. Japan, meanwhile, demonstrated the benefits of close cooperation with the United States, basking in unprecedented economic growth and offering a model that other Asian nations would strive to follow in subsequent decades.

Broad themes can only take one so far when discussing a continent populated by such a diverse array of ethnic groups, political histories, and economic systems. Consequently,

the remainder of this introductory note will deal in turn with each of the most prominent countries featured in the collection, offering a brief glimpse at some of the major topics and events covered in the documents.

Burma (½ reel) March 1962 saw the end of democratic rule in Burma, as Ne Win overthrew the government of U Nu in a military coup. Initially, the response of the United States was cautious and muted; Ne Win, however, soon showed himself less receptive to U.S. influence than his predecessors, for example, by banning U.S. military overflights. As he moved further along the path to socialism, the United States feared that Ne Win was shifting Burma dangerously close to communism. As it turned out, Ne Win’s military coup ushered in twenty-six years of idiosyncratic, isolationist rule. Cambodia (1 ½ reels) Cambodia was very sensitive about U.S. military aid to neighboring Thailand and South Vietnam, fearing that it was being surrounded by anti-Communist countries. Cambodia was officially neutral during these years but threatened to turn in a Communist direction if the United States ignored its needs. Norodom Sihanouk, the Cambodian prime minister, complained bitterly about alleged Thai and South Vietnamese aggression, demanding international recognition of Cambodian neutrality and territorial integrity—failing which, he threatened to align Cambodia with the PRC and USSR. Negotiations and discussions over the proposed neutrality declaration take up most of the documents on Cambodia. China (4 ½ reels) Documents on both Communist China (the PRC) and Nationalist China (the Republic of China, or ROC; also known as Taiwan) are grouped together; most of the documents pertain to the ROC, since the United States had no diplomatic ties with the PRC during this period. One recurring theme is the issue of PRC entry into the United Nations (UN), which the ROC opposed for fear of being sidelined or, worse, abandoned by the United States and subsequently conquered by the PRC. Indeed, the potential for conflict between the PRC and ROC consumes a significant portion of the documents, highlighted by ROC military plans for recovering the mainland and a parallel PRC military buildup in Fukien Province, opposite Taiwan. The documents also illuminate ongoing tensions within the Communist camp between the PRC and USSR as they fought for dominance. Finally, the documents also touch on the serious food crisis plaguing the PRC in the early 1960s, caused primarily by the disastrous failure of Mao Tse-tung’s “Great Leap Forward.” India (6 ½ reels) and Kashmir (1 reel) Although Pakistan does not appear in this collection as a separate topic, it looms large in the documents on both India and Kashmir. The two countries fought bitterly over the fate of Muslim-majority Kashmir, whose division in 1947 has remained a source of contention ever since. Although several wars have been fought over Kashmir in the past half-century, the early 1960s witnessed a concerted (though futile) attempt to settle the issue diplomatically. The United States played a delicate role in India-Pakistan relations, balancing economic and military aid to both countries in the hopes of keeping them away

from the PRC and USSR. While India was indeed drifting slowly toward the USSR, its relations with the PRC were anything but cordial: starting in October 1962, the two Asian giants fought a limited but tense border war that ended in an indecisive stalemate. Interestingly, the India-PRC border conflict became tied to the Kashmir negotiations, though obliquely. The United States hinted at tying military aid to India to a successful Kashmir settlement, but this was a bluff; the alternative—India turning to the USSR for military support—was much too dangerous. When India balked at handing over Kashmir territory to Pakistan, the United States demurred and continued supplying military aid. On the whole, these documents indicate a fairly warm relationship between the United States and India during these years, at a time when Jawaharlal Nehru was still prime minister. Indonesia (1 reel) [see also West New Guinea] The centerpiece of this section is a lengthy document on Indonesian economic development. Indonesia had a very touchy relationship with the United States during this period, and indeed with all Western nations, with President Ahmed Sukarno drifting toward communism; the goal of U.S. aid was to convince Sukarno to stay in the Western fold. On the foreign relations front, although Indonesia managed to negotiate a settlement with the Netherlands on the transfer of WNG in 1963, hostility to the new Malaysia federation burst forth in Jakarta in the shape of violent anti-British riots in late 1963. Japan (2 ½ reels) These documents illustrate a steady warming of relations between the United States and Japan, which was led during these years by Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda. The two countries established a series of bilateral conferences on economic, scientific, and cultural cooperation, demonstrating a deepening bond on multiple fronts. Nevertheless, points of contention remained, notably Japanese opposition to U.S. atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, an expanding balance of payments deficit, and the continued U.S. occupation of the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa). The documents also chronicle negotiations between Japan and South Korea (the Republic of Korea, or ROK) to normalize diplomatic relations, a process that was complicated by lingering resentments and financial claims stemming from Japanese occupation. Korea (1 reel) The documents focus exclusively on South Korea (ROK), since the United States had no diplomatic ties with North Korea. Initially, attention centers on the May 1961 military coup against the government of Chang Myon. The new government, headed by the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction (SCNR), was led by General Park Chung Hee. The documents follow ROK political developments over the next few years, especially the crisis of early 1963, which led to the exile of Kim Chong-pil and first the canceling, then the postponement, and finally the resumption of national elections (Park ran for president and won). Additionally, there are scattered documents pertaining to the attempts to reestablish ROK-Japan diplomatic relations.

Laos (9 reels) Composing the largest bundle of documents in this collection, the section on Laos provides a close-up view of the struggle between communism and the West in Southeast Asia. The documents chronicle U.S. hesitation over military intervention in Laos, echoing the situation in Vietnam. Laos was basically split into two camps: the USSR supported the indigenous Pathet Lao and their Viet Minh allies from North Vietnam, while the United States supported the nationalist Forces Armées de Laos (FAL) under General Phoumi Nosavan. Phoumi fought for the royal Lao government led by Boun Oum and headed by King Sri Savang Vatthana, which had first come under Communist attack in 1960. Global concern for Laos was intense during these years: a meeting of the International Control Commission (ICC) was held in 1961 in Geneva in the hopes of promoting a neutral, unified Laos, most likely led by the Communist-leaning Souvanna Phouma. Although the ICC subsequently set up operations in Laos, its goal of ridding the country of foreign military forces (primarily the Viet Minh) foundered. Meanwhile, discussions continued between Souvanna, Phoumi, and others to create a Laos coalition government with Souvanna as prime minister. Phoumi and Boun Oum were reluctant to agree, but the United States pressured them to accept Souvanna as prime minister, and they ultimately acquiesced, though not until after Souvanna endured a lengthy self-imposed exile. While political negotiations consume the bulk of the documents, the delicate matter of U.S. military support for Laos also looms large. Although the United States was reluctant to intervene openly, a good deal of effort was spent in developing contingency plans in case the ICC effort failed. When Pathet Lao and Viet Minh forces broke the tentative cease-fire in 1961, the United States sent troops to Thailand as a show of strength. In essence, U.S. policy was to avoid both a Communist takeover and direct U.S. military intervention in Laos. After the new government was finally formed with Souvanna as prime minister, Communist forces—the Pathet Lao and Viet Minh—continued to attack the neutralist forces led by Kong Le and the Meo tribe. Eventually the United States was drawn into greater and greater military intervention in Laos and Southeast Asia more generally; even massive intervention in neighboring Vietnam, however, proved insufficient to prevent a Communist takeover in Indochina by the mid-1970s. Malaysia, Borneo, and Malaya and Singapore (¾ reel) [see also Indonesia and the Philippines] A recurring issue throughout this collection is the creation of the new Malaysia federation. Both the Philippines and Indonesia had problems with the proposed federation (the Philippines claimed North Borneo and Indonesia feared losing authority in the region), while the PRC remained generally neutral, viewing the large ethnic Chinese population in Malaysia as a potential source of influence. Ultimately the objections were either settled or brushed aside, and Malaysia was born in 1963 through the unification of Singapore, Malaya, and North Borneo; Singapore was subsequently expelled in 1965. Philippines (1 reel) One major topic in this section concerns the interrelated issues of the Philippine claim to North Borneo, opposition to (and then acceptance of) the Malaysia federation, and

relations with Indonesia. The remainder of the documents deal primarily with the Philippine War Damage Act, which was first defeated, then passed, and then amended by the U.S. House of Representatives. The act was offered as compensation for U.S.-inflicted damage during World War II. U.S.-Philippines relations waxed and waned due to the vagaries of this issue—President Diosdado P. Macapagal even canceled a trip to the United States after the bill’s initial defeat. Thailand (1 reel) Many of the documents center on U.S.-Thailand military cooperation and the conflict in neighboring Laos. The United States stationed troops in Thailand as a show of strength to the Communists, but Thailand was generally displeased with the overall tenor of U.S. policy in Indochina. Meanwhile tensions with Cambodia, particularly after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled against Thailand in a border dispute, also feature prominently. West New Guinea (1 reel) The documents in this section chronicle the fate of the western half of the island of New Guinea; the eastern half, Papua New Guinea, gained its independence from Australia in 1975. The Netherlands had controlled WNG since colonial days, but during the early 1960s expressed a willingness to hand it over to international trusteeship. Indonesia, however, claimed West New Guinea and was hostile to anything but a direct transfer of sovereignty. The documents follow the contentious negotiations between the Netherlands and Indonesia, leading to the province’s transfer first to temporary UN control, and then to Indonesian administrative control on May 1, 1963. Indonesia later annexed the territory in 1969.

EDITORIAL NOTE LexisNexis has microfilmed in their entirety all National Security Files (NSF) “Country Files” documents that were declassified, sanitized, or unclassified as of January 2002 for Asia. Some individual documents and folders of documents remain classified and/or unprocessed; LexisNexis has therefore included in this NSF microfilm publication the “Document Withdrawal Sheets” for each folder. These withdrawal sheets itemize documents that have been withdrawn from the folders, due to either national security or privacy restrictions, by the staff of the John F. Kennedy Library. The table of contents lists the various Asian countries that are included in this supplement and have available recently declassified and/or processed material. Additionally, for Korea, the folder titled “Cables, July 1–20, 1962” was not filmed because the documents in the original collection were missing.

he National Security Files (NSF) were the working files of President John F. Kennedy’s special assistant for national security affairs, McGeorge Bundy. These NSF Country Files for Asia, arranged alphabetically by

country, provide an in-depth look into foreign policy decision making in the period 1961–1963. Memoranda, cables, intelligence reports, correspondence, and special studies are arranged chronologically within each country, allowing the researcher to follow on a day-to-day basis the administration’s handling of crises and to trace the evolution of major policies.

The Kennedy administration, while short-lived, had a lasting impact on U.S. policy in Asia. Although documents pertaining to Vietnam are contained in a separate collection, many of the same issues that led the United States into the Vietnam War are reflected here in crises facing other Southeast Asian nations, notably Laos and Cambodia. The 1950s through the 1970s witnessed a protracted struggle in Asia between Communists and the West, a struggle that morphed into a tense standoff between the United States and the combined, though fractious, forces of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The struggle for Korea in the 1950s ended in a stalemate, but by the 1970s a weary United States was forced to concede a Communist rout in Indochina as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia all fell to communism. Japan, meanwhile, demonstrated the benefits of close cooperation with the United States, basking in unprecedented economic growth and offering a model that other Asian nations would strive to follow in subsequent decades.

This collection of the Kennedy National Security Files for Asia and the Pacific provides a unique and fascinating inside view of international politics at a very volatile stage in world affairs.
