From the Paper:

"According to author James Irving Matray, Keenan's containment strategy provided then President Harry Truman with a method of countering the Soviet challenge without requiring an unqualified commitment of American power. Keenan's policy of containment was based on the premise that the perceived monolithic Communist Menace (the Soviet Union, more commonly referred to as Russia during the 1950s and 1960s) could be contained to preserve U.S. security - with minimal expenses for economic, technical and military assistance."
