My dear Henry,

Just after I mailed my previous letter I got yours
about your contact with Norton & Company.

As I wrote in my last letter I will send the manus-
cript to you as soon as possible. Proofs are not yet
available and the manuscript will look rather untidy but
I assume that they will be accustomed to that.

Thank you for your letter of July 12th.

I will send you the manuscript around the first of August and if possible I would very much like to have your introduction at the end of the same month.

I am very sorry for the cancellation of the trip of your parents and you know that I am fully at their disposal when they would decide to come at a later date.

Is there any chance that I see you before coming to Harvard in October?

My dear Henry,

I herewith send you my manuscript which you can give to the Norton people.

What still lacks is your foreword and my bibliography and index.

The editing remarks are made in Dutch for use of the Dutch printers but I do not think that this matters very much for the reading of the manuscript.

If the Norton people want to get in touch with my Dutch publishers their name and address are:

The people who handle my books are either Mr. Bergmans, Sr. or Mr. O. ter Haar.

Mr. Bergmans just told me that he knows Mr. Storer Lunt of Norton quite well. This might facilitate the contact between them.

I hope that they will not be too slow because the Dutch publisher who has a rather tight schedule wants to take into account the eventual wishes of the Americans.

Needless to say that I am very grateful to you and also for writing the foreword which they need at the end of August. I would also very much appreciate if you would read the final text of the conclusions and give me your reactions.

Please do forward Mr. Ernst H. van der Beugel's
manuscript to us at your convenience. I shall
see to it that it is handled promptly here by
our trade department and that they get in touch
with Elsevier who is handling it in Holland.

Storer Lunt, whom Mr. van der Beugel mentioned in
his letter to you, is the Chairman of our Board,
and I suspect it is through Storer's activities
as President of the International Publishers
Association that he has come to know Mr. Bergmans
of Elsevier.

I received a letter from William Andres today
indicating that all is finally well with the

Dear Storer,

May I ask you for your personal comment on the following matter:

We are about to start typesetting of a book written by Mr. E.H. van der Beugel, which is provisionally entitled: 'From Marshall Aid to Atlantic Partnership' (European Integration as a concern of American foreign policy). It is now in the editorial processing in the office here and it will be sent to the printer around August 21st.

It would be in line with our usual policy if its production and sales would be entrusted to American Elsevier. However, given the special character of the book which is rather out of our usual fields, Ben Russak has agreed that its sales in the Western Hemisphere would be entrusted to one of our colleagues whose list is more in line with the subject.

The author has now heard from Professor Kissinger of Harvard that he has approached your firm and sent you a copy of the manuscript for inspection. Needless to say that I would very much enjoy it if there would be a possibility of cooperation between your distinguished firm and us.

My question now is: Would it be possible to you or one of your editors to let me know whether the manuscript has been refereed already and whether your firm is in principle interested in co-publishing it? Given the fact that its production is progressing now, a decision in a not too distant future would be welcomed very much by the author and by us.

I would like to thank you in advance for any information you are able to give me.

With best personal regards,

bcc Hr. v.d. Beugel

My dear Joan,

There comes the troublemaker! I have now fixed my schedule a little bit and I will be in Harvard from Tuesday afternoon October 12th through Saturday 16th on which Dr. Kissinger promised me to take me to the footballgame.

Would you be the usual angel and reserve a room for me either in the Commander or in the Continental.

I have a slight preference for the *Continental* because the telephone-operator of the Commander is one of the worst animals in the Western Hemisphere.

Would you also, please, tell Dr. Kissinger that when he would like me to lecture it should be on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

While Dr. Kissinger has absolute priority over my time I would very much like to spend an evening with the Katzes and I would certainly like to see Schelling, Bowie, Stephen Graubard and Marshall Shulman.

I will write to them and tell them that you are in charge of my schedule.

Thank you already.

From the general point of view I am always reassured

disappointment!

It was extremely kind and thoughtful that you called
me in London.

I hope very much that you will send me your preface
next week because the publishers here come rather nervous.
The same goes for the reply of Norton and if this thing is
not settled before your departure we are rather in a mess.

If you come to Europe before your departure to the Far-

Unhappily, I will also be away at the time of your visit to Harvard. I plan to take the week off to go to Bermuda. However, Jeannette Atwood, who is presently the secretary for the International Seminar, will be sitting in for me and I am sure she will be more than willing to help you in any way possible.

I have reserved a single room with bath for you at the Hotel Continental, 29 Garden Street (telephone number KIrkland 7-6100) from October 12th through October 16th. I said you would be arriving the afternoon of October 12th. (For your information, the University will be closed that day as it is Columbus Day.)

I have spoken to Mr. Brown about scheduling a Seminar for you at the Center. Wednesday, October 13th seems to fit best into the Center's schedule. Is this agreeable to you? It would be a 12:00 noon luncheon followed by a talk by you for about ½ an hour and then an informal question and answer period on the topic you choose.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Several of us now have had a chance to review the van de Beugel manuscript, FROM MARSHALL AID TO ATLANTIC PARTNERSHIP. On one point we are agreed: it is an extremely detailed account, admirable in its coverage and thoroughness. Despite the author's prominence, however, we cannot foresee a satisfactory sale for the work in this country. If Mr. van de Beugel had been less detached and provided more of his intimate knowledge of the early workings of ERP, or if he had chosen to present a distinctly *European* view of American foreign policy, the trade interest would be measurably increased. As "outside" history it would have to depend largely on its chances of adoption in college courses. My colleagues in the college department feel that even in foreign policy and international relations courses where there would be an interest, the van der Beugel book would probably be passed over in favor of, say, John Spanier's AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY SINCE WORLD WAR II, which takes in more history in less space, and works such as your own THE TROUBLED PARTNERSHIP that provide both background and an unmistakable point of view.

We are reluctant to turn down the van der Beugel manuscript, even the more so because you were good enough to bring it to our attention. It goes back to you separately.

ROUGH DRAFT

September 15, 1965

Preface to Van Der Beugel's manuscript

The most consistent and constructive American policy since
the end of World War II has been the development of Atlantic relationships.
Europe emerged from the second great war of this century shaken to the
core. Britain had fought heroically but the post-war world required a
~~tremendous new effort in adjusting to the loss of Empire while overcoming~~
that Europe within fifteen years would far exceed its pre-war level of
economic activity; that stable governments would be constituted almost
everywhere; that major advances towards European economic and political
integration would be made. In the aftermath of World War II it would have
seemed incredible that within two decades Atlantic relationships would be
strained by the need to find a more important place for a resurgent Europe.
~~ political and economic unity. ~~
role for Europe COMMUNIST with its
radical

That this has come to pass is one of the great success stories of the
post-war period. The difficulties which have resulted from Europe's new-
found vigor ~~should not obscure~~ the vision which on both sides of the Atlantic
inspired the process. In the United States four Administrations have been
~~the one committed to European recovery and to European political integration.~~ It
was a courageous decision which ended America's isolation and launched the
~~to assume~~ United States into assuming its share of responsibility for the future of
