==Dulles== Many Republicans, including [[John Foster Dulles]], were concerned that Truman had been too timid. In 1952, Dulles called for rollback and the eventual liberation of Eastern Europe.<ref name="StateDept">"[https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/cwr/17601.htm Kennan and Containment, 1947]", ''Diplomacy in Action'', U.S. Department of State.</ref> Dulles was named secretary of state by incoming President Eisenhower, but Eisenhower's decision not to intervene during the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|1956 Hungarian Revolution]], which was put down by the [[Soviet Army]], made containment a bipartisan doctrine. Eisenhower relied on clandestine CIA actions to undermine hostile governments and used economic and military foreign aid to strengthen governments supporting the American position in the Cold War.<ref>John Prados, ''Safe for Democracy: The Secret Wars of the CIA,'' (2009)</ref>
