Rusk Downplays Risk as Consulates Opened in Cold War
Secretary of State Dean Rusk urged Senate ratification of a year-old treaty to permit consular exchanges with the Soviet Union and said the move would aid U S tourists and trade while not materially increasing espionage. He noted FBI concerns but asserted safeguards and that a few officers roaming the United States would not hinder counterintelligence. He cited prior consular closures in 1948 after a Soviet incident and said consulates would focus on citizen support and economic matters, not diplomacy.
