there is no soviet domination of eastern europe and there never will be under a ford administration. >> i'm sorry, could i -- did i understand you to say that the russians are not using eastern europe as their own sphere of influence and occupying most of the countries there and making sure with their troops that it's a communist zone? whereas on our side of the line, the italians and french are still flirting -- >> i don't believe that the yugoslavians consider themselves dominated by the soviet union. i don't believe that the romanians consider themselves dominated by the soviet union. i don't believe that the poles consider themselves dominated by the soviet union. each of those countries is independent, autonomous, it has its own territorial integrity, and the united states does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the soviet union. as a matter of fact, i visited poland, yugoslavia and romania to make certain that the people of those countries understood that the president of the united states and the people of the united states are dedicated to their inde

and the people of russia and eastern europe were not allowed out to see the truth. they even needed a passport to move around inside their own countries. we cannot imagine this level of control. and now we go back to 1945, and with hitler defeated, winston churchill recognized that communism was now the greatest threat to the democratic west. and he had, in fact, written to harry truman in may of 1945 of that year that saw him voted out of power to warn truman that stalin was bringing down an iron curtain across europe. as russia morphed into the soviet union, the abuses of communism spread across eastern europe. british and american diplomats were followed, harassed and even expelled. no foreign journalists were allowed in. you can see where the modern dictators in syria, iran and north korea get their inspiration, the censorship of the media and a lockdown or even a stranglehold on social media sites on the internet. in poland several thousand people were sent, horrifyingly, to the very concentration and prison camps that the allies and in some cases the red army

i was invited to meet with leading educators from the newly free eastern europe and russia. they were trying to figure out how to rebuild their universities. since education under the soviet union was essentially propaganda serving the purposes of a state ideology, they appreciated that it would take wholesale transformations if they were to provide an education worthy of free men and women. given this rare opportunity to start fresh, they chose liberal arts as the most compelling model because of its historic commitment to furthering its students' broadest intellectual, and deepest ethical potential. having made that decision they came to the united states, home of liberal arts education, to talk with some of us most closely identified with that kind of education. they spoke with a passion, an urgency, an intellectual conviction that, for me, was a voice i had not heard in decades, a dream long forgotten. for, in truth, we had moved light years from the passions that animated them. but for me, unlike them, in my world, the slate was not clean, and what was written on it was
