SPEAKING OUT
By Horwitz & Nygaard
Thc President of thc United
States must surround himself
wit'.i the finest assistants that
thc nation can offer. One of
President Johnson's most respected and trusted advisers is
Walt Whitman Roslow. The 51-
year-old Rostow is considered
one of the Presidents chief architects of U.S. foreign policy.
Rostow's office is located in
the basement of thc White
House in order for President
Johnson to obtain his advice in
affairs of immediate concern.
Unlike other top government officials. Rostow gives orders to
only the 12 researchers who are
assigned to keep him up to date
on everything that pertains to
matters of foreign policy. His
only boss is thc President, and
therefore Rostow enjoys a special and power position.
Rostow is a former professor
of economic history who became prominent during the first
years of the Kennedy administration. It is during this time
that President Johnson came
to admire his highly professional
opinions. Rostow has been advocate for United States involvement in North Viet Nam
since 1961. Rostow feels that
President Johnson's policy in
Viet Nam is the only course to
take.
There is no question that Rostow is an extremely well educated person, for he was graduated
from Yale, and then went to
Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship.
Yet his critics argue that his
plotted course in Vict Nam is
a great mistake, and that he is
perhaps too "hawkish" to give
President Johnson an impartial
view on foreign affairs. Walt
Whitman Rostow holds a position of great importance, and
his interpretation of today's
current events could considerably affect the United States
foreign policy for several years.
