Kenneth on Doing Research for the State Department

United States. Dept. of State.

The State Department decided to hire Kenneth because they had no one who knew anything about Thailand, and Kenneth had told them there was going to be a lot more traffic of communication on Thailand. They decided they had better keep it in the family, so they invited Kenneth to join the Far Eastern bureau, which he did.
