EXTENDED ENDNOTES

ALL notes correspond to the endnotes in Patriotic Betrayal, supply additional information or evidence, and should be read together.

Note 2: National Security Council objectives for the World Youth Festival:   The NSC objectives to disrupt the Vienna festival were well known among NSA/CIA insiders, although they tended to use the vernacular, “smashing” or “smashable” to describe the tactics. See, for example, a December 1, 1958 letter from Bruce Larkin at COSEC to International Affairs vice president Willard Johnson H/NSA (Box 299, WFDY 59-63); May 8, 1958 (Box 55) Memo on Vienna festival

Note 31: Romerstein and Vienna: Herbert Romerstein went to work for HUAC in the mid-60s. While it is unlikely that liberals in the Cord Meyer unit gave Romerstein funds, the possibility that others in the CIA gave Romerstein assistance cannot be ruled out.
