The national security staff under McGeorge Bundy was a markedly different operation from that under Robert Cutler and James Lay during the Eisenhower administration. The Operations Coordinating Board was abolished by Executive Order 10920 of February 18, 1961, and the previously sharp distinctions between planning and staff personnel and functions were deliberately blurred to gain integration of purpose. The National Security Council itself came to be regarded as a more specialized ad hoc forum for the discussion of critical issues rather than a routine meeting for ratifying decisions. The staff size was considerably decreased.
The following NSC staffers contributed some of the memoranda and reports found in these files. Their major areas of responsibility/interest are briefly outlined below.
McGeorge Bundy - Special Assistant for National Security Affairs; Walt W. Rostow - Deputy Special Assistant for National Security Affairs, 1/61-11/61; Carl Kaysen - Deputy Special Assistant for National Security Affairs, 11/61-11/63; Bromley K. Smith - Executive Secretary of the National Security Council; A. Russell Ash - NSC personnel and security matters; Samuel E. Belk - UN Affairs, Africa (South of Sahara); William Brubeck - Africa; Gordon Chase - Cuba, Latin America; Chester V. Clifton - Military Aide to the President; J. Patrick Coyne - Internal Security; Ralph A. Dungan- Latin America; Michael Forrestal - Southeast Asia, Far East; Charles Johnson - Nuclear Matters; David Klein - Europe (UN, NATO), Canada; Robert Komer - Middle East, MAP, North Africa, NATO; L.J. Legere - Assistant to Maxwell Taylor, military policy, NATO; Henry Owen - East-West Negotiations, Berlin; Marcus G. Raskin - Disarmament, Nuclear Testing; Harold H. Saunders - Civic action, MAP, Africa; Tazewell Shepard - Naval Aide to the President; Maxwell Taylor - Special military assistant to the President.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Richard Goodwin, Theodore C. Sorensen and Myer Feldman, although responsible for matters outside the normal purview of the national security staff, often had specific assignments that involved them in the work of Bundy's staff. Several individuals participated from time to time as consultants, such as Richard E. Neustadt, Henry A. Kissinger, John J. McCloy, Adolph Berle and Dean Acheson.
Administrative support was provided by principal secretaries Alice Boyce ("ab") and Pauline A. Yates ("pay"), also Mildred Zayac. Lois Moock was the administrative officer in charge of personnel matters and logistics.
The National Security Files (NSF) are the working files of McGeorge Bundy, the Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs during the Kennedy administration. An integral part of the papers of John F. Kennedy, the National Security Files were included in the general deed of gift of these papers by the executors of the President's estate in 1965. Following the organization of the first shipment of NSF material received by the Library (Boxes 1-397), additional increments were received from the National Security Council via the National Archives in Washington. Some of this material has been integrated into the collection including the McGeorge Bundy Correspondence Series (Boxes 398-405), The Paramilitary Study Group Report [Taylor Report] (Box 61A), Special Group Augmented (Box 319) and the Skybolt Report (Box 322). Preliminary descriptions and the approximate volume of the remainder of this material is given at the end of the series descriptions below.
The National Security Files are currently arranged in the series described in the following pages and preliminary folder title lists. Within the series the papers are arranged topically in subseries. In some of the larger subseries there are further divisions into General, Cables and Subjects. Within folders the documents are generally arranged in chronological order except where documents were originally bound together.
While some of the documents were originated by the National Security Council staff, most of the material, which consists of memoranda, letters, reports, cables, formal studies, and informal think pieces, originated in the various executive departments and agencies, foreign countries and, occasionally, by private citizens. The majority of the documents were originated in the Department of State, with a lesser proportion of items from the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense as well as other agencies. Documents authored by the NSC staff are concentrated in the Meetings and Memoranda Series and scattered throughout the remainder of the series. Approximately 85 percent of the documents were originally classified in accordance with law and executive order protecting national security information and materials.
This series is arranged alphabetically by country name. Within each country, the material is arranged chronologically. Larger country files, such as Cuba and Vietnam, were originally further divided into: General, Cables and Subjects; this arrangement has been maintained.
