Program 712: The Limited Uses of Military Power

Congressman Les Aspin cites data to show that the United States is more than holding its own in the arms race, and urges the establishment of a new direction for the military policies of this country, in the light of our experience in Vietnam and in other situations where the use of military force proves so counterproductive as to actually decrease our national security. Pacem in Terris IV: 11. Dec. 3, 1975. [CSDI program number 712 ; UCSB tape number A8426/R7]

The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) was founded by Robert Maynard Hutchins and was based in Santa Barbara, California, from 1959 to 1987. During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
