1 Only a few highlights of this institutional growth can be given here. For a fuller description, see Lyons, Gene M. and Morton, Louis, Schools for Strategy: Education and Research in National Security Affairs (New York 1965Google Scholar).

2 The very titles of the institutions established by the Act, by containing the phrase ”national security” where in previous periods ”military affairs,” ”foreign affairs,” or ”foreign policy” would have been more likely choices, indicate an emerging awareness of the need for a new concept. Moreover, the wording of the Act suggests that national security was beginning to be considered a broad area of related policies and not merely one of many national objectives. These points will be amplified later in this article.
