Dean Rusk in an informal discussion w/ corespondents Bill Downs, Howard K. Smith, & Paul Niven in Rusk’s office after Vienna Summit.
Smith: “Can we turn to Latin America...what is our policy towards Cuba...if our policy is non-negotiable what do we do about Castro? Rusk: two main things that must be done, we must make sure Cuba is not exploited as a base for further penetration of elements out side the hemisphere into other countries of this hemisphere. Second members of Organization of American States / OAS do recognize that this is a problem for the hemisphere. Discusses Sino-Soviet bloc attempt to go around western alliances. Talks about things we can do in propaganda, cultural relations, media & broadcasting that are hampered by lack of funds.
22:40:58 Asked about CIA involvement in Cuban fiasco, have you found it / CIA dictates policy anywhere else as it did in Cuba?
22:41:24 Rusk: “I don’t think that I want to comment about a specific agency & a specific episode...” says there was something in it for everybody...
22:41:5? Quotes Rusk’s law; and asks whether there are two State Departments, one in the White House & one in this building... Rusk explains that he thinks “we” must work to a simplification as to how we come to our decisions (in government) and think present Administration is working to do that. Asked about Presidential Task Force under Adolf Burle or any conflict w/ new Assistant Secretary of Mr. (Robert) Woodward. Rusk talks about how many things had to be done quickly: Bogota Program, Brazilian Financing, Bolivia. Now normal procedures will take over more & more.
22:44:16 Downs asks if all Secretaries of State have to watch out as John Foster Dulles did to make sure he was the only influence on Eisenhower. Rusk: “Washington is a city filled w/ quiet diplomacy but vocal gossip.” President is in full charge of his office & foreign policy...close & friendly between his staff & staff of agencies & groups of government. Talks about his travels since taking office...but feels his principal post should be at his desk in Washington.
