Quizplus · Accepted Answer

George Kennan articulated the policy of containment in his influential 1946 Long Telegram, which argued that the Soviet Union was expansionist but also vulnerable to counterforce, thus recommending a policy of containing Soviet influence rather than actively confronting it. Harry Truman was the President at the time, but he did not personally articulate the policy of containment. John Foster Dulles was a later Secretary of State who further developed and implemented containment during the Cold War, while J. Edgar Hoover was the Director of the FBI and not involved in foreign policy.
