i have seen versions of the speech in abilene kansas. there are now news stories that another set of draft has appeared in welcome those involved in the drafting of it and so that fills out a picture. the picture that i saw and speak from memory tonight is the early draft of the eisenhower farewell are very forward looking, and i think they reflect the sense that he's losing ground and the administration is losing ground and after the democrats win the 1960 election the reflected disappointment with the outcome. sour grapes so to speak. he is warning the country in effect against successors who may not have judgment. somebody gets to the president in the drafting or it occurs to him that this is not the task of a farewell. so we have another set of drafts were the warnings are modified and taken back. finally, this crystallizes into the great farewell address that it is. when he sees a worrying about specific prescriptions for the months and years to come and allows to look back over his career and extract lessons from his 50 years in pu

looking back that i am emphasizing, dwight eisenhower's town of abilene had more in common with middle ages than it had in common with the society that he was president of. in the 1950s. this is more qualitative change than any society experienced in history. he reflect on it. the speech reflects because we are talking about this very thing 50 years later and we will be talking about it for decades to come. just a second. the other point being eisenhower really held the line until sputnik. he kept spending relatively level even during the period of anti communism. he stood up to the bomber lobby and to some extent of the missile lobby even though there was insubordination in his own ranks. the secretary of the air force testifying on behalf of a bomber that eisenhower did not build. the struggles were very concrete with the lobbies and that generated the rhetoric of the speech. from his own experience. >> when i study lockheed and think about of the concerns of others citizenry one cannot help but realize the amount of corporate lobbyists in washington today been a congressperson could
