Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads For Marty Fanzglass--With Best Wishes. Abba Schwartz Jan. 1969. Abba Philip Schwartz (April 17, 1916 - September 13, 1989) was United States Assistant Secretary of State for Security and Consular Affairs from 1962 to 1966. He attended Harvard Law School, receiving an LL.B. in 1939. After WWII, Schwartz took a job with the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees in London. In 1947, he joined the United Nations International Refugee Organization in Geneva as reparations director. From 1949 to 1962, he was also special legal counsel for the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration. During the 1950s, he became a close political associate of Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-MA) and his brother Robert F. Kennedy. When John F. Kennedy became President of the United States, he named Schwartz Assistant Secretary of State for Security and Consular Affairs. Schwartz encouraged Robert F. Kennedy to exercise the discretion granted by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 to allow East European refugees and visitors to come to the United States. He also negotiated a deal with Cuba that allowed thousands of Cubans to come to the United States as refugees. In 1967, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara named Schwartz his special assistant for prisoners of war in Vietnam. He promoted programs to help refugees in South Vietnam and to repatriate prisoners taken by the Vietcong and North Vietnamese. Derived from a Kirkus review: The trouble is that the Congress wants a closed society and you are trying to make it an open one. These are the words of Dean Rusk which attended Abba Schwartz' ouster from his State Department post handling immigration and travel policies. Mr. Schwartz had worked toward eliminating quotas based on national origin, advocated citizen travel as a basic freedom and taken a liberal stance on entry to America, particularly under the sticky "28," security cases. Then there was the case of Richard Burton, requesting admission from Canada when everyone knew about him and Liz--a "national interest case." Mr. Schwartz writes in concern over the forces that defeated him, in the process has hard words for Miss Frances Knight of the Passport Office, the Dodd-Eastland contingent in Congress, and Dean Rusk. He also provides a rundown of American immigration and refugee policies through the years, in itself of sufficient value. Signed. …
