Carl Kaysen (March 5, 1920 –
February 8, 2010) was an American academic, policy advisor and international
security specialist at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) and co-chair of the Committee
on International Security Studies at the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the father of Girl, Interrupted author Susanna Kaysen. He was married for 50 years to Annette Neutra
until her death in 1990. In 1994, he married Ruth Butler. Carl Kaysen worked
for President John F. Kennedy as Deputy National Security
Advisor, and was directly under National
Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy. Kaysen took over the position from Walt Rostow in 1961
and concentrated on the key issues of the Kennedy Administration such as
nuclear weapons, foreign trade, international economic policy and international
security policy. On President Kennedy's orders, Kaysen prepared a report on how
to utilize the US nuclear arsenal to preemptively destroy the Soviet Union’s
nuclear capacity and its ability to retaliate with nuclear weapons. Kaysen was
also a good friend of long-serving Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, whom
he had met at Harvard. After Greece was taken over by a military junta in 1967,
Kaysen and John Kenneth Galbraith were
instrumental in convincing President Lyndon B. Johnson to decisively intervene in order to
secure Papandreou's release from prison. Kaysen was born in Philadelphia, the
son of Elizabeth and Samuel Kaysen. Kaysen received his
B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1940 where he was
elected Phi Beta Kappa and
was a member of the Philomathean Society. He received both his M.S. in 1947, and
Ph.D. in 1954 from Harvard University in Economics. He also did graduate study at Columbia University from
1940 to 1946.
