Dear Henry:

This is to confirm our lunch
engagement for this Thursday,
October 2, at the Harvard Faculty
Club, which we made some weeks ago
at St. Louis.

It turns out that my train is
due to arrive in Boston only at 1 p.m.,
so that I could join you at the Club at
about 1:15.

If your own plans for that day
should have changed, please let me
know. My office telephone number
here is STate 7-3131, ext. 2173, and
my home telephone is SPruce 6-0048.

I am looking forward to seeing you.

Dear Henry:

As you may recall, I have been working off
and on for some time now on a study of Defense
Department organization. I am hoping to complete
this study sometime this year.

I am sure that the files of the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund Panel II contain materials which
could be of considerable use to me. One item
there which I would like to see, for instance,
is Kintner's contribution, entitled something
like "Organizing for the Formulation and Execution
of National Security Policy."

Is there some way we could work out an
arrangement by which I could use any or all of
these materials?

Dear Henry:

This is a belated acknowledgement of
receiving your reprint from _The Reporter_.
Thank you for sending it to me. I try to
keep track of what you publish, but confess
that I find it difficult.

I had hoped to get to Cambridge before
this on the chance, among other things, that
I could see you, but I am minimizing the
interruptions until I have at least a first
draft of that albatross, my study of defense
organization. So I try to stay pretty close
to home, unless something cannot be postponed.

It is always a pleasure to hear from you.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

We recently received a publisher's copy of
*Berlin: Pivot of German Destiny*, edited by Charles B. Robson. We feel that this interesting book on the significance of Berlin to the Western security system merits review in the *Yale Law Journal*. As a former graduate student in a course on foreign policy that you helped to teach at Harvard, I am in a position to know that no one is more qualified than you to review this important work, and would be very pleased should you consent to undertake the review for us.

Our reviews, I should explain, run approximately
1000-2000 words in length, and are more platforms for
criticism--and even advocacy--than expository analyses.
However, any length or any form which suited you best
would undoubtedly be suitable. Should you accept our
invitation, we shall immediately send a copy of the
book to you, and the review can be completed at your
convenience.

We hope that your reply will be in the affirmative.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

The undergraduates in charge of CHALLENGE have asked me to support their invitation to you. I am happy to do this and to say that the University endorses the program planned by the Committee.

CHALLENGE was organized two and a half years ago and has had a remarkable effect on the thinking and understanding of the Yale community. I hope very much that you may find it possible to participate.

With all good wishes,

Very sincerely yours,

A STUDENT PROGRAM AT YALE UNIVERSITY TO CONFRONT WITH REALISTIC CONCERN AND RESPONSIBLE ACTION THE CRUCIAL ISSUES OF TODAY'S WORLD.

January 15, 1962

Prof, Henry A. Kissinger
Harvard University
Center for International Affairs
6 Divinity Avenue
Cambridge 38, Mass.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Since our first invitation to you in the fall of 1959
to moderate the debate between Norman Thomas and Bill
Buckley, CHALLENGE, in its attempt to stimulate under-
graduates to think and act on problems broader than
the ones they face in their personal lives, has drawn
over five thousand students from more than seventy
colleges to hear the views of such men as Barry Goldwater,
Hubert Humphrey, James Gavin, Jose Figueres, and Hastings
Banda of Nyasaland. This spring CHALLENGE is examining
the problems created for the functioning of the democratic
process by the actions deemed necessary to provide
national security in the face of a large and more or
less permanent threat to that security. In a series
of introductory speeches and a Colloquium on the week-
end of April 13-15, we plan to consider such problems as:

the effect of the requirements of new approaches
to military strategy upon the military and civil
institutions responsible for maintaining national
security;

the extent and justification of, and need for,
a military establishment which is free to adjust
rapidly to the dictates of new military strategy, i.e.,
independent of obstacles to such free adjustment
present in the democratic process. To what
extent can and should Congress be by-passed?

the effect of weapons development upon the
traditional role of the branches of the Service.
How can such situations as duplication of missiles
systems be avoided?

the effect of the ever-present possibility of
breakthrough in weapons technology upon present
methods of decision-making and decision-imple-
mentation.

CHALLENGE invites you to present your views on the effects of present military needs upon the democratic process at its Colloquium, April 13-15, 1962. We feel that in view of your interest, research, and writing in the area of the problems of changing military strategy in the nuclear age, you would be especially qualified to participate in our program this spring.

Participation in the Colloquium will involve one major address. Otherwise, we wish to emphasize that your schedule while you are here will be flexible and planned in accordance with your wishes. We would be happy to arrange for you to meet with members of the faculty. In the past, some of the most fruitful experiences for both speakers and students have been the many informal discussions inevitably accompanying such a gathering as a CHALLENGE Colloquium.

We will, of course, cover the expenses of your trip and your stay in New Haven, and, in addition, we want you to accept an honorarium of $300.

Professor Samuel P. Huntington has agreed to be the platform coordinator for the Colloquium. Invitations to speak have also been sent out to McGeorge Bundy, Erich Fromm, Admiral Arleigh Burke, General Maxwell Taylor, General Eisenhower, Kenneth Boulding, and Roswell Gilpatric. We sincerely hope that you will be able to participate in what should be a provocative weekend, and we look forward to your reply.

Dear Mr. Holden:

Thank you for your letter of January 15th, which has come to my attention upon my return to this country from Asia.

With regret, I have had to decline the invitation of Challenge to participate in the Colloquium because of previous commitments. I hope there will be another opportunity in the future to take part in this interesting program.

Mr. Henry A. Kissinger,

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

The only disappointment in your otherwise very lucid analysis in the _Reporter_ was that you did not attempt to tie the Administration's shifts in military field with broader political aspects of the Soviet-American confrontation. I have a strong feeling that Mr. Kennedy, partly because of the difficulties in obtaining our allies' consensus on vital international issues, is trying to concentrate all the trumps in his hands for the eventuality of some fruitful negotiations with the Soviets. In doing so, he is also proving to Moscow his good-will, that is his willingness to risk the cohesiveness of NATO by making impossible or difficult the spread of nuclear arms. If he succeeds in this, he would also emerge, in the eyes of Soviet leaders, as the indisputable spokesman for the West.

I do not think that this might necessarily lead to a sort of "nuclear Yalta" the European war and like to talk about. But at the same time we know that there are many people in Washington who would not turn their thumbs down at a possibility of a Soviet-American condominium, the people to whom the prevention of nuclear war comes ahead of any other policy goal.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

We are, as they say, "surveying the profession" in order to identify
obvious and not-so-obvious first-rate men in the field of International
Relations and Politics. I am writing to you informally and as chairman
of our department's senior appointments committee. What I would like
to have is simply this:

a) your identification (and very brief discussion) of the
two or three people you believe to be among the top
half dozen in the field, and who might be enticed to
leave their institutions.

b) your identification of outstanding younger persons in the field who may not yet be well known but who in your judgment show evidence of distinguished teaching and scholarship in the future.

Please forgive this intrusion on your time. I take the liberty of in-
truding on the assumption that I may return the service at some future
time.

Many thanks for your help.

Dear Professor LaPalombara:

Thank you for your letter of October 28. As you know first-rate
men in the field of international affairs are rare indeed. Among senior
faculty members I would rate two particularly highly. One is Paul
Seabury, who is leaving the University of California to be Provost at
one of the colleges in Santa Clara. I do not consider it impossible that
he would agree to come to Yale. Another is Robert Osgood at the School
of Advanced International Studies.

In a category somewhere between senior and junior people, I
would list Richard Ullman at Princeton. As for younger people, I think
very highly of your own Roger Masters. Here at Harvard Francis
Hutchins is first rate, though he has an impossible personality.

I will drop you other names as they occur to me.

Best regards,

Henry V. Klauder
