Halle, Jr.and Dean Rusk(1909-1994), Secretary of State under John F. Kennedyand Lyndon B. Johnsonfrom 1961-1969. Much of the correspondence is of a social nature concerning recommendations, offers of hospitality, and thanks for copies of Halle's work, but several letters discuss policy and opinions about international relations.
