Description

Series 4, Public Statements, 1942-1994, includes interviews, oral histories, speeches and testimony. The material is arranged in three sections: interviews, oral histories, and speeches/testimony. An electronic index of each public statement exists for this series. Ball was a popular speaker, actively giving speeches before foreign and domestic groups until the month before he died. He addressed organizations, businesses, universities, and associations on a variety of topics. As he grew older, Ball would use the same address for different audiences, which is evidenced in the 1980s when he used a form of his speech, “Foreign Policy Perspectives on the 80s,” more than a dozen times. He was also a frequent guest on the Sunday morning news programs and was generous in granting interview requests. He testified before Congress over sixty times on a variety of issues that included the International Development Act, the future role of NATO, U.S.-Japanese relations, the Trade Expansion Act, SALT II, and the Persian Gulf crisis.
