   You can find a version in print in Chomsky's Hopes and Prospects, page 193.    
      
   President Eisenhower expressed his concern about "the campaign of hatred   
   against us" in the Arab world, "not by the governments but by the people." The   
   reasons for the "campaign of hatred" were outlined by the National Security   
   Council: "In the eyes of    
   the majority of Arabs the United States appears to be opposed to the   
   realization of the goals of Arab nationalism. They believe that the United   
   States is seeking to protect its interest in Near East oil by supporting the   
   status quo and opposing political    
   or economic progress." Furthermore, the perceptions are accurate: "Our   
   economic and cultural interests in the area have led not unnaturally to close   
   U.S. relations with elements in the Arab world whose primary interest lies in   
   the maintenance of    
   relations with the West and the status quo in their countries," blocking   
   democracy and development.   
      
   The reference for the "campaign of hatred" is from FOREIGN RELATIONS OF THE   
   UNITED STATES, 1958-1960 VOLUME XI, LEBANON AND JORDAN, DOCUMENT 139   
   (Memorandum of a Conversation Between the President and the Vice President   
   (Nixon), White House, Washington,    
   July 15, 1958, 9 a.m)

   The rest of the quote is from FOREIGN RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES,   
   1958-1960 VOLUME XII, NEAR EAST REGION; IRAQ; IRAN; ARABIAN PENINSULA,   
   DOCUMENT 5. NSC 5801/1 and can be found here: https://history.st

   Chomsky also points us to Salmi Yaqub, "Imperious Doctrines: U.S.Arab   
   Relations from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W. Bush," Diplomatic History 26,   
   no. 4 (Fall 2002) and his Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine   
   and the Middle East (   
   Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 2004), although he does   
   not quote these explicitly.
