Selected Statements
July 1 1978
Sec. Vance 19 Jun 78 Statement before House International
(US-USSR Cooperation)
There is perhaps no more important
question on which we must consult
than the entire range of U.S.-Soviet
relations. I use the word "range" ad-
visedly. For it is very importerat as
we deal with these critical issues that
we recognize & .fundamental reality of
this relationship: that it is not a rela-
tionship with a single dimension, but
with many; that even as we have sharp
differences, as we inevitably will, there
are many other areas in which we con-
tinue to cooperate and to seek useful
agreement; and that to view U.S.-Sovi-
et relations from the perspective of a
single dimension is to run the risk of
failing to identify our interests careful-
ly and to act accordingly.
The President's speech at Annapolis
described this approach. In the weeks
and months ahead, I hope that you
will help us in explaining this complex
reality so that we avoid excessive
swings in public mood from unrealistic
optimism to unwarranted pessimism.
As the President said at Annapolis,
the Soviet arms buildup is excessive,
both in conventional and nuclear weap-
ons. Yet the extraordinary strengths
we possess as a nation---military, eco-
nomic and political-.enable us to fix
and hold our own course.
The potential we and the Soviets
share for mutual annihilation carries
(DC)
its own imperatives for us both: we
must seek to reduce the risks of con-
frontation, particularly the risks.
presented by an uncontrolled nuclear
arms race; to work to moderate our
differences and to seek to expand other
areas of mutually beneficial coopera-
tion.
As the relationship between our two
nations continues to evolve, 'both sides
will continuously be mak;ng choices
between an emphasis on the divergent
elements of our relationship, and an
emphasis on the cooperative ones. The
President made clear at Annapolis that
our preference is to broaden the areas
of cooperaticn.
Sec. Brown 23 Jun 78 Remarks to Car nwealth Club f
in San Francisco (CA)
(US.-Soviet Competition)
In considering he overall balance between the U.S. and the Soviet
Union, we must include many elements --- the economic, the political,
the technological, the ideological, and the degree of domestic cohesion,
among others. In these overall terms, there is no doubt in my mind that
the United States is the most powerful country in the world. But I want
today to discuss with you our military situation and our military course.
I would like to explain why I agree there are certain grounds for con-
cern; but also -- if we respond in a measured way -- for reasonable
confidence.
For the foreseeable future, as President Carter said at Annapolis
recently, the United States and the Soviet Union will continue to
cooperate -- and to compete. The precise mixture of the two will
depend on the place, the issue, very much on Soviet behavior, and also
on how we see our own national interests in each case. We have no
illusions about the Soviet Union. Their view of history, of the world,
and of the future is very different from our own. We do not believe
we should ever rely on good will as a substitute for good defense. The
Soviets appear willing to strike some bargains -- as we hope for in
SALT -- that can reduce the chances of mutual destruction. At the
same time, because our interests and objectives do diverge in
important respects, there have been and will be times and places
where U.S. and Soviet policies will conflict and tensions will arise.
This is regrettable, and it is not the way we would like the
relationship to proceed. But it is a fact of modern life. And it is
not all that different from the international relations of the past.
Countries, like other political entities, do compete. Unfortunately,
they rarely compete by the rules that govern domestic, democratic
politics. There is nothing particularly new in that regard either.

LOS ANGELES TIMES EDITORIAL PROFILE
The Los Angeles Times editorials have generally been favorable
but reserved. They understand the need for good reliable intelligence
but also want fair and reasonable oversight controls.
There have been very few intelligence-related editorials this
past year. However, the most recent one was in September strongly
favoring the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and giving Congress
and the Carter Administration credit for the progress on this "much
needed law."
In February an editorial stated that the Administration was
wrong for bringing legal action against Frank Snepp and encouraged
the government "to devise a mechanism for review of such material
that would be quick and fair." But they also said "people should
not go around signing agreements and then breaking them."
Apparently, the Los Angeles Times does read our unclassified
publications which we mail to them. In the past two years they
have cited our publications on at least three occasions. The
Soviet economy publication was cited and "the CIA predicted" and
"the CIA predicts" was sprinkled throughout one of the editorials
in February of this year.
In January 1978 they supported Carter's new set of guidelines
and new legislation to control the "rogue elephant."

THE WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL
Now in its third decade, the Los Angeles World
Affairs Council is a citizen's organization, non-
partisan and non-profit, with a membership of
more than 7,500 representative citizens. The Coun-
cil's purpose is to give its members and their guests
the opportunity to learn more about all aspects of
international affairs. By offering a forum to out-
standing diplomats, business leaders, educators,
journalists, and scholars, the Council feels its
members will become better informed about the
affairs of the world. Indeed, public opinion is the
democratic basis for sound national policy, and
public understanding of its dynamics is essential to
the formation of such a policy. Since its organiza-
tion in 1953, the Council has remained indepen-
dent of any other organization. Its policy is estab-
lished by a board of directors of well-known
Southern California citizens, and its activities are
carried out through the cooperation of its direc-
tors, members and staff. The Council derives its
financial support from its members, both individ-
ual and organizational. All who are interested are
invited to join and to participate in its activities.
The Meaning of Membership:
Membership means being a part of one of the
most prestigious citizens' organizations in the
nation.
Membership in the Council and the contribu-
tion of annual membership dues, is a contribution
to the cultural vitality of Southern California. By
joining and supporting the Council, local residents
make it possible for the community to receive the
leading figures of our time, and to provide them
with a distinguished forum to discuss the major
issues confronting the world. Through membership
in the Council, citizens give their private assistance
to a voluntary effort to furnish a wide spectrum of
information to all interested people, without bias,
endorsement of any policy or viewpoint, or sup-
port of any particular individual.
Membership has its personal rewards: the op-
portunity to receive invitations to hear first-hand
the leaders of the world, to meet and personally
host distinguished foreign visitors and to partici-
pate in special Diplomatic Tours overseas.
LOS ANGELES MEETINGS
In keeping with its policy of disseminating
factual information on International Affairs the
Council has brought many of the world's leading
statesmen, scientists, explorers and public figures
to Los Angeles and to the Council's platform.
Members and their guests have the opportunity to
personally hear them address Council luncheon or
dinner meetings and to participate in ensuing ques-
tion periods. Included among the speakers have
been:
Henry A. Kissinger
Richard M. Nixon
Lyndon B. Johnson
John F. Kennedy

INTERNATIONAL VISITOR PROGRAM
Each year nearly 3,500 distinguished inter-
national visitors come to Los Angeles under the
auspices of the Department of State. The World
Affairs Council serves as the official Southern Cali-
fornia programming agency for these grantees.
This involves arranging professional appointments,
sight-seeing, home hospitality and visits to points
of particular cultural interest. Visitors include gov-
ernment officials; business executives; educators;
professional men and women; representatives of
foreign press, radio and television; labor leaders;
artists and scientists from all over the world.
The primary purpose of this program is to offer
leaders from other nations an opportunity to
know Americans as individuals and as a nation.
The visitors gain knowledge about and apprecia-
tion for life in the United States, its culture, econ-
omy, and system of government. This program is
one of the most important ventures in practical
international relations undertaken in America
today, and Council members may share in it as
volunteer escorts and hosts to these leaders and
specialists.
Many national leaders of other countries today
are former grantees of the Educational and
Cultural Exchange Program. Among them have
been Prime Ministers, Presidents, Chancellors,
Governor Generals, and Cabinet Ministers from 86
countries throughout the world.
For further information regarding the Interna-
tional Visitor Program, call [phone].
TRAVEL PROGRAM
Each year the World Affairs Council conducts a
series of Diplomatic Tours and members are in-
vited to participate. The trips are fully escorted
and include private Diplomatic Briefings by United
States Ambassadors and other high-ranking offi-
cials in U.S. embassies and by members of the
Foreign Ministries in the major nations visited.
World Affairs Council Diplomatic Tours are
limited in size and operated on a deluxe basis.
Careful attention is given to insure a balanced itin-
erary which combines special sight-seeing oppor-
tunities with ample free time to shop, rest, or
pursue personal interests.
Additional information concerning the travel
program is available through the Council office in
Los Angeles.
SPECIAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
If it is true that an informed citizenry ensures a
Siegfried Line-like defense of democracy and
democratic principles, then it surely follows that
this nation's young people must be exposed to
what knowledgeable men and women are thinking
and saying around the world. With the advent of
the 1976-77 Council season, it is hoped that at
least ten students from Los Angeles area public
and private high schools will be invited to each
luncheon or dinner as guests of the Council. Inter-
ested individuals and corporate members will pur-
chase some tables while the Council itself will
underwrite others. Accompanied by their teachers,
the students will have prepared in advance for the
particular speaker and aye invited to participate in
the question and answer part of the meeting as
well. The Council has enjoyed a positive and often
exciting experience with these young men and
women on a "from-time-to-time" basis these past
two years. It is with pleasure that we now plan to
make the high school program a regular part of
Council activity. Interested teachers are invited to
contact the Council for pertinent details.
REGIONAL DIVISION
In order to better serve the wide geographical area of
Southern California, the Los Angeles World Affairs Coun-
cil has joined with prominent citizens of the Orange
County area to form an area council. This regional organi-
zation presents major speakers at dinner meetings for its
membership.
World Affairs Council of Orange County:
The World Affairs Council of Orange County, a division
of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, holds regular
meetings in the major centers of that important area of
Southern California. Many speakers appearing on the Los
Angeles podium also address the Orange County Council,
as well as statesmen invited especially for that council. It
is led by a distinguished group of Orange County residents
and guided and supported by the Board of Directors of
the Los Angeles Council. Membership information may be
obtained by contacting the Los Angeles office, or the
Orange County office: [phone].
NEW COUNCIL PUBLICATIONS
In recent months the Council has printed for distribu-
tion to its members the addresses of Secretary Kissinger,
Professor Eugene Rostow and King Hussein. It has long
been our feeling that the remarks of our guests deserve
wider circulation than merely to the audience there at the
time. Corporate members of the Council and interested
private organizations have financed the cost of printing
and mailing. Ideally, each address should be reprinted and
mailed in this manner. It is our hope that this goal will
ultimately be achieved. Until then, we plan to reprint as
many as practically possible. With a growing membership
and an average attendance of 300 at our meetings, perhaps
this policy can soon become a full reality. Until then, we
will continue the reproduction on a selective basis.
