Abstract
When President Kennedy succeeded President Eisenhower in January 1960, important personal and institutional changes took place in the way in which US foreign policy decisions were made. The White House played a much more dominant role in foreign policy in the new government, at the expense of the State Department. Those within the State Department who had been actively involved in matters regarding European security and the increasingly complex issue of the German question, and who were generally sympathetic towards the West Germans and West Berlin, lost influence. Kennedy and his advisors were much less inclined to see things from the perspective of Adenauer and the West German government.
