Kissinger was already consultant to the director of the NSC's Psychological Strategy Board. Nelson Rockefeller took him on in 1956 as director of special Rockefeller Brothers Fund studies.

Local objections to ABM's are more short-sighted but nonetheless valid. The base's location in Reading makes the Boston area a prime target for nuclear attack, and creates a finite chance of an on-site accidental explosion. A limited, strictly regulated number of ABM's may well be necessary to deter an accidental missile attack by Russia or China, but they ought to be situated far from a metropolitan area, where their long range would make them just as effective...
