Biography of William Putnam Bundy
William Putnam Bundy was born September 24, 1917 in Washington, D.C. to Harvey H. and Katherine (Putnam) Bundy. He was educated at Groton School (1935), Yale College (1939), Harvard Graduate School (1940) and Harvard Law School (1947). In 1943, he married Mary Acheson, daughter of Dean Acheson, secretary of state under President Harry Truman. Later, they had three children, two sons, Michael, and Christopher, and a daughter, Carol. He served in the United State's Army from 1941 to 1946. During World War II, he commanded an Army Signal Corps unit working with the British at Bletchley Park on the ULTRA operation breaking high-level German Engima ciphers. He was awarded the Legion of Merit and was made a member of the Order of the British Empire. After finishing law school in 1947, he worked for four years with the Washington, D.C. firm of Covington and Burling. In 1951, he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, Office of National Estimates, working as the chief of staff and as a liaison to the National Security Council staff. In 1960, Bundy served as staff director of the President's Commission on National Goals.
Bundy served under President Kennedy and Johnson as a political appointee from 1961-1969. In 1961, he was appointed as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs (ISA), then from 1963 to 1964 as Assistant Secretary of Defense, ISA. From 1964-1969, he served under the Department of State as the Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. During his time as Assistant Secretary, Bundy participated in deliberations on such matters as the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Later, he became a central figure in shaping Vietnam policy. Bundy left government in May 1969 to teach at the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1970 to 1972, he served as a part-time columnist for Newsweek, rotating with George Ball and Zbigniew Brzezinski in the international edition and briefly in the domestic edition.
He edited Foreign Affairs from 1972 to 1984, contributing several articles of his own. Later he served as a Visiting Professor at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University from 1985 to 1987. He was a Trustee of the American Assembly from 1964 to 1984 and served on the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations from 1964 to 1972. After 1987, he devoted his time to writing a critical history of American foreign policy in the Nixon-Kissinger Era including the later years of Vietnam. In 1998, he published A Tangled Web: the Making of Foreign Policy in the Nixon Presidency. Bundy died from heart trouble on October 6, 2000 at age 83.

Contents List
Series 1, Correspondence, 1951-2000
Series Description
Series 1, Correspondence, 1951-1999, is arranged into three subseries; Government Service Correspondence, Foreign Affairs Quarterly Correspondence, and General Correspondence. Each series is arranged alphabetically.
Subseries 1, Government Service, 1951-1969
Subseries Description
Subseries1, Government Service Correspondence, 1951-1969, includes correspondence from Bundy's time in government service positions. This includes the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense, and Department of State. The bulk of the materials are letters of congratulation and farewell, arranged alphabetically, for his appointments as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs (1961-1963), Yale University Trustee (1961-1980), Assistant Secretary of Defense for ISA (1963-1964), and Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs (1964-1969). The Department of State memoranda are arranged chronologically and cover topics such as McNamara and Taylor's Mission to South Vietnam, Vietnam Press Releases, Southeast Asia, and military and political policies in Vietnam. The CIA correspondence documents relate to Bundy's subpoena and testimony in the McCarthy Loyalty Review Board and his relationship with Alger Hiss. Many are letters of outrage that the charges were brought against Bundy. Some felt that McCarthy was striking at Dean Acheson and Allen Dulles through Bundy. Also included is the statement that Bundy gave to the Loyalty Board Panel. He was eventually cleared of all charges by Allen Dulles, the then CIA Director.

Subseries Description
Subseries 2, Foreign Affairs Quarterly Correspondence, 1971-1984, contains correspondence from Bundy's tenure as editor of Foreign Affairs from 1972 to 1984. This correspondence includes letters and a small number of manuscripts from ambassadors, politicians, government officials, academics, and the media and is arranged alphabetically by correspondent's last name. Bundy corresponded with people from around the world, including Germany, Switzerland, Israel, Japan, Pakistan, Poland, France, China, and Great Britain, with some letters written in French of Chinese. Correspondence can be found from the National Security Council and the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs and from research institutions, such as The Brookings Institution, and The International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Several topics prevailed during Bundy's tenure as editor, including NATO diplomacy and military strength, SALT I, SALT II, terrorism, Iran and the hostage crisis, OPEC, world economics, Chinese-U.S. relations, Japan, the Middle East, and global fuels and energies. Letters on these topics and other interests can be found from George Kennan, Paul H. Nitze, Louis Halle, Clark Clifford, and George W. Ball. However, there is very little mention of African issues in this collection despite the numerous articles found in the journal. Also, several authors whose articles appear in the journal are absent from Bundy's correspondence. Additionally, a small amount of inter-office memoranda discussing journal business is also found.

Subseries Description
Subseries 3, General Correspondence, 1961-2000, contains personal correspondence between family, friends, domestic and international contacts, authors, and political leaders. Includes a large amount of letters to authors of books Bundy read and critiqued. In particular, Bundy was heavily involved in the controversy concerning the 1975 publication of Bodyguard of Lies by Anthony Cave Brown. Brown challenged the loyalty of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in the ULTRA-operation (from 1940, the system by which much of the German military wireless traffic was secretly decoded by the British). Additional records and correspondence regarding the controversy can be found in the Series 2, Subject Files. Letters also reveal the personal relationships Bundy had with friends over the years. This includes his long-time relationship with Stuart Milner-Barry who served with Bundy at Bletchley Park in England. Correspondence relating to Bundy's book A Tangled Web is in Series 8.

Series Description
Series 3, Appointment Books, Diary Highlights, and Trips, 1961-1988, includes appointment books from 1961-1986, with books from 1961-1968 containing the most detailed information about specific engagements. The appointment books from 1973-1986 are pocket calendars. There are no appointment books between 1969-1972 or after 1986. The diary highlights are made up of entries that note the time and subject of meetings. It seems as if the notations have been produced some years later, as Bundy postulates many questions and reflects on his meetings and appointments. The journal from 1975 includes actual daily entries that reveal Bundy's daily activities as editor of Foreign Affairs. The final section documents various trips Bundy took while serving as editor and later, including detailed accounts of his trips to Brussels, Bangkok, Tehran, Tokyo, Saigon, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Germany, Singapore, and London.

Bundy created his own index for the speeches between 1956-1968. The index is accurate but a few speeches and appearances have been added that are not listed in the index. The index for these years can be found in box 11, folder 18 and box 12, folder 12. Included in the oral history is the transcript of the interview conducted by the JFK Library in 1964. Also included is information regarding conferences that Bundy attended but did not speak at. Of note is the Vietnam Roundtable Conference at the LBJ library in 1991. He also made frequent appearances on television and radio news programs, of which the transcripts have been included. An index for appearances between 1964-1968 is in box 16, folder 7.

Subseries Description
Subseries 2, Articles and Miscellaneous Writings, 1965-1997, contains articles, essays, book reviews, forewords, introductions, columns, and personal poetry. Bundy produced numerous articles during his lifetime for various foreign and domestic publications and various editorials for Foreign Affairs. He tackled topics such as national security and government service, with the bulk of articles examining U.S. foreign policy toward Vietnam. During the early 1970s, Bundy wrote a guest columnist series for Newsweek. These articles focused largely on foreign policy and examined such issues as the Nixon doctrine, the Middle East, and Vietnam. The series also includes a large manuscript about Vietnam that Bundy wrote immediately after leaving the Department of State in1969. Bundy utilized his classified papers and files, which he could not cite at the time. With the Pentagon Papers and other documents coming to light, he never went back and made the necessary citations. Thus, the manuscript remains in an incomplete state, but still reveals a great deal of research concerning Vietnam foreign policy.
