 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

Gerard Coad Smith, diplomat and expert on atomic energy, disarmament and non-proliferation
matters, was born in 1914 in New York City. His father, John Thomas Smith, was a lawyer who
served as general counsel of General Motors Corporation for many years. Gerard Smith attended
Yale Law School and became a practicing attorney in New York City. During World War II he
served as a procurement officer for the Department of the Navy in Washington, DC. In 1950 he
returned to government service as a special assistant to Thomas E. Murray, a member of the
Atomic Energy Commission. Smith became an expert in the international aspects of the use of
nuclear energy and helped brief the members of the AEC on President Eisenhower’s Atoms for
Peace proposal in 1953.

In 1954 Smith transferred to the Department of State and became a special assistant for atomic
energy matters to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. He continued to work on the
international aspects of atomic energy and followed the disarmament negotiations between the
U.S. and the Soviet Union which were being handled by Harold Stassen.

In 1957 Smith was promoted to Assistant Secretary of State for Policy Planning, and became
director of the policy planning staff. In this position he was responsible for developing policy on
a wide range of international matters, much of which related to sensitive areas of east-west
relations such as Berlin.

Smith returned to private life in 1961. He served as a consultant to a number of organizations and
started his own magazine, Interplay, which promoted an internationalist viewpoint. During the
Kennedy and Johnson administrations he also served as a special consultant to the Department of
State on the Multilateral Force (MLF), an unsuccessful proposal to develop a military force in
Western Europe.

At the start of the Nixon administration Smith was appointed director of the Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency (ACDA). He led the U.S. negotiating team during the Strategic Arms
Limitation Talks (SALT) with the Soviet Union which resulted in the Antiballistic Missile
(ABM) Treaty of 1972.

In 1973, following completion of the treaty, Smith again resigned from the government. David
Rockefeller recruited him to help develop the Trilateral Commission, an organization which
encouraged Japanese businessmen to become more active in American and European affairs.
Smith served as chairman of the North American delegation to the Commission. In this position
he became acquainted with Jimmy Carter, the governor of Georgia, who was also active in the
Commission.

In 1977, after Carter became president, he invited Smith to serve as a special presidential
representative for non-proliferation matters. Smith traveled to a number of underdeveloped
countries, including India, Pakistan, Brazil and South Africa, in an effort to discourage the
countries from developing nuclear weapons. He also worked with the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) to insure that spent nuclear fuel was not diverted to weapons.
Smith resigned from the government for the last time in 1980. He organized a private consulting
firm, the Consultants International Group, which specialized in advising companies on
international investments. He also retained an interest in disarmament and was active in
educational and lobbying organizations such as the Arms Control Association and the
Washington Council on Non-Proliferation. He strongly opposed President Reagan’s proposed
Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI; popularly known as “Star Wars”) which he felt violated the
1972 ABM Treaty.

Starting in 1991 Smith began to compile his memoirs. He dictated anecdotes covering various
aspects of his government career, and obtained declassified documents from a number of
archives. He was assisted by two historians, Allen Greb and Robert Wampler, who were
specialists in international nuclear studies. Smith died in 1994 before completing his memoirs.
After his death his son gathered together the files Smith had collected and donated them to the
Eisenhower Library.

Smith’s papers are very fragmentary and do not provide a complete account of his career. There
are no files from his early life or his service in World War II. Most of the material dates from the
1980s and pertains to his opposition to the policies of the Reagan administration. Smith appears
to have left all of his diplomatic files at the State Department. A list of his files at the State
Department is in box 30 under the heading “Smith Papers at State Department.” A few files
relating to his service as Assistant Secretary of State (1957-1961) are in the Gerard Smith Series
of the John Foster Dulles papers.

The collection has been divided into seven series. The first series consists of Smith’s general
correspondence files. The correspondence is largely social in nature and contains a number of
gaps. There is very little material from the 1950s and nothing from the 1970s and early 1980s.

The second series is a subject file containing information on various organizations and subjects
in which Smith was interested. Most of the material is from the 1980s and early 1990s. However,
there are a few significant files from earlier years. These include information on his work as
ACDA director, a file of important correspondence relating to the MLF proposal, and files on his
foreign trips during the Carter administration.

The third series consists of copies of Smith’s speeches, Congressional testimony and newspaper
and magazine articles, arranged in chronological order. The fourth series contains reference
material such as Congressional publications, newspaper clippings and magazine articles, which
Smith collected. Most of the material is from the 1980s and pertains to his opposition to the
Strategic Defense Initiative.

The fifth series contains material on Smith’s memoirs, published posthumously as Disarming
Diplomat: The Memoirs of Ambassador Gerard C. Smith, Arms Control Negotiator, including
drafts of portions of the book, copies of newspaper articles and declassified documents, and
dictated anecdotes by Smith regarding his government career.
The sixth series consists of a special file of memos Smith sent to his aides while serving as
President Carter’s special representative for non-proliferation matters. The memos cover a wide
range of nuclear-related foreign policy issues.

The seventh series consists of Smith’s personal diaries and loose-leaf notebooks. Smith kept
diaries for most of his career but very few bound diary volumes were found among his papers.
Most of the series consists of pages from a number of loose-leaf notebooks. Many of the pages
were arranged chronologically and were apparently used as a type of diary, in addition to the
bound volumes. The entries on the loose pages cover a wide range of subjects of interest to
Smith. He often used the notebooks to record ideas for articles and speeches on which he was
working. He frequently described his meetings, his social activities, his health problems, his
vacations, books he was reading, news articles he had seen in the newspapers, and the weather.
Many of the entries are very cryptic. Smith often referred to specific persons by their initials and
developed his own form of shorthand which makes many of the entries difficult to understand.
For example, the letters “CT” used in conjunction with a meal or a party usually means
“cocktails.” The Greek letter delta usually means “defense.” Most of the loose pages were found
to be in chronological order. A few notebooks pertaining to specific subjects were filed after the
chronological pages at the end of the series.
