My dear Mr. Nemec:

I have just returned to the United States and I would
like to take this opportunity to tell you how tremendously
impressed I was with the skill and thoughtfulness with which
you organized the Pugwash Conference in Karlovy Vary. I
think the attitude of all of us was well summed up by a
British member of the Secretariat who said to me that she
was trying every day to think up some impossible assignment
to see whether it would stump you and that she had never succeeded.

In fact, I have an "impossible" favor to ask. At our last
dinner each of us received a big cognac Moser glass as a souvenir
of the Conference. I nursed mine along until Vienna when I dropped
it at the airport and it broke. Would it be at all possible to
have another one sent to me? I am enclosing a travelers cheque
for $20.00 since I cannot ask the Pugwash Committee to pay for it.
If it proves impossible to arrange for the shipment of such a
glass, simply return the check to me. If the check is too high,
I would be glad to take some other piece of crystal such as a
vase in addition.

With many thanks and kind regards.

Dear Dr. Snejdarek:

I still remember our meeting in Karlóvy Vary
and Prague with the greatest warmth.

This is just a note to let you know that I
have had some preliminary discussions here on the
subject of East-West study groups on Germany which
we discussed at Karlovy Vary and Prague. There is
a possibility of obtaining the necessary financing
provided the frame-work is consistent with our dis-
cussions in September.

I, therefore, await your formal proposal before
taking any further action.

With best regards.

Dear professor Kissinger!

I must start my letter with a deep apology. The fact I had been absent for several weeks from Czechoslovakia, made impossible my immediate answer to your very kind letter dated October 27th 1964. It is also this reason which caused a certain retard in my preparations of the program of the Study Group which we discussed at Karlovy Vary and Prague during and after the Pugwash Conference. But I already made the first steps of the preparation of this East-West study group.

Actually I have the official consent of the Czechoslovak Pugwash Committee and the acceptance of the collaboration by professor Chvostov from the USSR. In the sense of our talks at Karlovy Vary I have informed him, that it would be accepted by you to have at first a meeting of the Preparatory Group which could be composed only from the representatives of the four great allied powers, of Poland and Czechoslovakia. This idea has been accepted by him.

On the other hand I have received also a formal acceptance from Mr. Afeldt who was working with us in the first group in Karlovy Vary. Mr. Afeldt is the secretary general of the Verenigung Deutscher Wissenschaftler in Hamburg. I have also discussed this question with some representatives of the German Democratic Republic and have already received their assurance that they would participate in the discussions and in the general activity of the proposed East-West study group.

Therefore I propose the following steps toward the constitution of the study group:

./

St 204-12584-83

1) The convocation in January 1965 of a meeting of the Preparatory Committee for the working group on Germany composed by professor Kissinger (USA), professor Chvostov (USSR), professor Powell or Mr. Noel Baker (U.K.), M. Jules Moche (France), professor Lepter (Poland) and me (Czechoslovakia). The Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences could organise this first meeting in Czechoslovakia if this proposal is accepted by the participants.

2) Discussion at this meeting on the constitution of the group which should be composed by the members of the Preparatory Committee and should include Mr. Afeldt or another representative of the German Federal Republic, a representative of the German Democratic Republic (probably professor Berthold, Director of the Institut of Marxism-Leninism at the Central Committee of the SED), a representative of Belgium, Holland and Denmark.

I think, that it would be a very good thing if you could propose the other members of the study group. I shall through the Czechoslovak Pugwash Committee contact the national pugwash Committees of those states asking them to appoint an appropriate scientist which could take part in the activity of the study group.

Naturally we are ready to accept also another place where the meeting could take place but we are also ready to give our support to the organisation of the meeting in Czechoclovakia. At the meeting two special items would be discussed: The composition of the Committee and the forms of its activities. The principal questions to be discussed at the plenary session of the study group will also be discussed at the preparatory meeting.

Please, let me know what you think about the proposition and if you are ready to take part at the work of the preparatory group. Be so kind also and let me know which date would be suitable for you and if you could come to Czechoslovakia or if you have an other proposition for the session of the preparatory group.

Dear Professor Snejdarek:

Thank you for your letter of December 3rd. I am delighted
that you are prepared to proceed with our discussions of Karlovy
Vary and Prague which I remember with the greatest pleasure.

Before we proceed, however, it seems to me best if we had
an understanding on a number of points. Let me separate them into
two parts: (a) long-term plans and (b) immediate procedures.

A. <u>Long-term plans.</u>

(1) As I already told you in Czechoslovakia, it would be
most appropriate if there were a joint sponsorship by the Czech
Academy of Science and the American Academy. I do not think a
study on the German problem should be sponsored entirely by one
side for reasons which we discussed.

The sponsoring group in the United States would not be the
Pugwash Committee but the American Academy of Arts and Sciences--
specifically the Committee responsible for the East-West study
group. I think that the status of the German study group should
be similar to that of the Committee for International Studies of
Arms Control. It should be independent of the Pugwash movement
though we could give progress reports at future Pugwash meetings.

(2) I believe that the choice of Western participants should
be left to the Committee for International Studies of Arms Control
of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The invitations should
be extended by that Committee.

....

Professor A. Snejdarek

December 14, 1964

(3) I do not think the national Pugwash Committee should be asked to propose participants. The German problem is so complex that we require experts on that question rather than pure scientists. We would do our best, of course, to find individuals comparable to those you suggested from the East.

## B. Immediate Procedures.

As I look back on our conversations last September, I am most struck by the freshness of the various points of view and by the openness with which we talked. I am worried that if we constitute a committee of all interested countries without adequate preparation we may simply be repeating the positions of the diplomats. This would lose us a great opportunity for a real exchange of views. I wonder, therefore, whether before the full committee is called together the following might not be a useful procedure.

I would like to propose to you that we have a preliminary conference--if you wish in Czechoslovakia--which would be bi-lateral (American-Czechoslovak). I would propose to bring along two qualified Americans and you might want to have two other Czechoslovak participants. If you wanted to include a representative from another country neighboring on Germany, such as Poland (for example, Mr. Lapter) I would not object. At this meeting, I propose that we talk freely and frankly about the German problem and that the conclusions that we reach might form a preliminary agenda for the larger conference that you are proposing.

I believe this procedure would give us the best opportunity to preserve the spirit of our talks at Karlovy Vary and Prague and also the best basis for fruitful work in the larger committee.

If this proposal meets with your approval, I would be glad to come to Prague for a day in the first week in February to make final arrangements; or else, we can settle the matter by correspondence. Either way, I would like to hear fairly soon because my schedule becomes very crowded.

My proposed date for the Czechoslovak-American meeting would be two or three days in the week of April 5th.

With kind regards.

Dear Professor Snejdarek:

I have not heard from you and, since I am leaving for Europe, I wanted to tell you our latest proposal.

We would be prepared to meet for a preliminary Czechoslovak-
United States meeting during the week of April 5 (except April 9)
in Czechoslovakia. The American participatns would be Professor
Doty, Professor Shulman and myself. All three of us have attend
Pugwash meetings and are probably well known to you. We would,
of course, leave the composition of the Czechoslovakian group
to you and we would not mind if one of the participants were,
for example, Mr. Lapter from Poland.

The sponsoring committee on the American side would be
the Committee on International Studies of Arms Control of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences which also sponsors the
East-West study group with the Soviet Union. All three of us
are members of this committee.

On your side, we would leave it up to you which group
should sponsor the enterprise.

If this meeting is to take place, however, we must have
an answer from you no later than February 22nd.

Dear Professor Snejdarek:

In reviewing my correspondence about the German
study group it occurred to me that I might have been
ambiguous about one point.

We would not object, of course, if on the
Czechoslovakian side the Czechoslovakian Pugwash Committee
sponsored our enterprise. However, we believe that the
study as such should be conducted like the East-West study
gropp with the Soviet Union that is it should be under the
Committee on International Studies of Arms Control of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences. in this country.
While the membership of the Pugwash group and this committee
overlap to some extent it would nevertheless seem to me most
efficient if we operated on this basis.

I look forward to hearing from you because I must
make my plans very soon.

Best regards.

Dear Professor Kissinger!

Many thanks for your letters including the letter from January the 20th 1965. As you are already informed from my telegrams I have put immediately your proposals before the Czechoslovak Pugwash Committee with the recommendation to accept them in principle. The matter has been under consideration for several weeks and different members of our Pugwash Committee asked for more time to study your proposals. The most important complication has come from the competing proposal made by Professor Adler from the Danish Pugwash Committee. This proposal draft in the second half of December 1964 contained the idea to create a Study group on disarmament in Central Europe. According to this proposal scientists of five countries (Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Holland, Poland and Sweden) should take part in the work of this Study group that should have the same status as the USSR-USA Pugwash Disarmament Study Group. Professor Adler included already into this draft proposal the limitations of possibilities of the work of the Study group, and the themes for discussion starting with the first steps i.e. proposals and possibilities which might break the present impasse. Pugwash groups of their equivalents in the two German states should be invited to send permanent observers, but should not be expected to subscribe officially to possible results of the work.

The Danish proposal varied from the first proposal made in this matter in Karlovy Vary especially in the formulation of topics suggested for discussion. We have suggested in Karlovy Vary the formation of a Study group dealing

with the complex of problems relative to Germany, the Danish
proposal wanted only to study the steps to disarmament in
Centre Europe. In a correspondence with Professor Adler we
explained this point so far that he is already in agreement
with us that this difference of topics should not be taken
for very serious, but the size and structure of this Study
group should not be very extended. In principle we agreed
with the Danish proposal and announced to Professor Adler our
readiness to cooperate with the participants from the other
countries in the "five nations Study group".

After several discussions we have come
to the conclusion, that this five nations Study group does not
exclude the possibility of other contacts concerning the study
of the German problem. The Czechoslovak Pugwash Committee asked
me to take charge of these different contacts and I had the
pleasure to send you immediately a telegram announcing you our
readiness for informal talks with you and your other colleagues.
I think that actually we have made the first step and that it
is really time to meet and discuss two important items:

1) The form of the work of our informal Study group and

2) the themes to be discussed.

We shall be very happy if you and Profes-
sor Doty and Professor Shuhman come to Prague and we are expect-
ing you on April the 5th as you announced in your letter from
January the 20th. The Czechoslovak Pugwash Committee and the
Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences will be happy to consider you
as their guests. I think that a program of the session should
be proposed by both sides and because you were taking the ini-
ciative I shall be very glad if you could send me your proposal
as a base for further discussion.

In the next days I am leaving for Western
Germany and from February the 10th to March the 1st I shall be
in German Federal Republic. I shall pass by Göttingen, Hamburg
and Munich where I am invited by the Universities to have lectu-
res. If by chance you will be in the German Federal Republic in
these days I shall be very glad to meet you. The institutions
that will be well informed about my addresses in the GFR is
Institut für Zeitgeschichte, Möhlstrasse 26, München 27.

I am also very grateful for the help you
are giving us in the search for contacts with the American
Foundations. I shall never forget your kindness. There is al-
ready much unclear in the matter of the Ford Foundation but
I hope the contacts will be established in the near future.

I shall be very glad to see you again in
the next time and I shall send you in two or three weeks the
names of the Czechoslovak participants of our meeting in April.
As for Professor Lepter, I am writing him asking him to come
to our meeting.

With many kind regards

Dear Professor Snejdarek:

Your letter arrived only today. I am assuming
from the fact that you announced in it a visit to the
Federal Republic that it was written before February 10th
and somehow was sent by surface mail.

At any rate, not having heard from you for many
weeks, I had assumed that perhaps the date of April 5th
was not as convenient for you as you had first thought.
Also, it seems to me that it will be very difficult in a
two week period to agree on an agenda. Finally, in the
middle of May, Doty Shulman and I would be in Europe anyway
thus saving us the need of making another trip.

For all these reasons I would like to propose to
you that we meet in Prague on May 16th and 17th. We would
plan to arrive on the afternoon of May 15th. We could stay
through May 18th if this were thought desirable. As soon
as we have your agreement to this new date, we will send
you our proposed agenda. My instinct is that we should have
very general headings which would give each side the greatest
latitude in coming forward with proposals.

I look forward to our meeting.

Dear Henry:

From my preliminary view of travel schedules, we have a
choice of going from Paris to Prague leaving Paris at 2:20 pm
on either Saturday or Sunday. This makes it pretty clear that
we will have to miss Saturday night in Paris if we are to have
a full day in Prague on Sunday. If we do this, I will have to
leave Prague on the 4:30 pm flight on Monday. I am afraid I
have no alternative but to leave at this time because of personal
complications here at home. I hope that most of the program
can be covered before I do leave. I would appreciate knowing if
you think we should take the Saturday afternoon Paris-Prague
flight.

PD/ec

The January 1965 issue of the Czechoslovak chemical journal, Chemicky Prumysl (Chemical Industry) carries a political editorial which is rather surprising in its frank evaluation of the strength of the capitalist economy and its admissions of the grave crisis in the economies of Eastern Europe. The most pertinent passage, constituting about half of the editorial, is given below in English translation.

In the past twenty years an advancing development went on also on the other side of the frontline. Highly developed capitalist countries went through a period of unprecedented prosperity, particularly Japan and the German Federal Republic, who built up both their heavy industry and their production of consumer goods to such a degree that we can as yet not stand the comparison. Even in the U.S.A., although it started off far ahead in the standard and scope of its production, the relative rate of growth of the gross national product, advanced more rapidly than with us. We are keeping up the pace only in the classical raw materials - coal and steel, which by themselves are no longer a yardstick of economic maturity or a guarantee of a standard of living, if a broad superstructure of modern production facilities of consumer goods is missing. If we compare after twenty years of effort our situation with

2.

theirs, we have to admit, like it or not: We work harder and
live more poorly.

What is the cause? There are many and complex causes.
The government took them up towards the end of the past year.
And the analysis showed that in this period one cause was
dominant: the methods of direction which were introduced in
these past years.

When capitalism constructed the base for its industrial
production, it created as a corollary a powerful and carefully
worked-out network of organizational and economic relationships
which took full advantage of objective economic laws: the
law of value, the marketing mechanism based on the law of
supply and demand- and in the last analysis, although society
may not have been aware of it, also the basic law that
material conditions and psychological attitudes are inter-
related. Thanks to this, capitalism contributed to the develop-
ment of mankind not only by the technical revolution and the
development of the exact sciences, but also another positive
factor: the birth of a novel relationship of man to his work,
the emergence of a novel type of, independently thinking and
creating worker. He may be active only on a minuscule sector
of the total mosaic, but he is fascinated by his work and finding
in it his fulfilment - whether he is a welder or the chief
designer of a project. This mature organizational network and
these economic relationships form an organic entity not with

capitalism as such, but with the forms of production and
specialization of labor to which it gave birth. The personal
creative dedication is an integral link which became one of the
chief moving forces in the enormous advance of capitalist
production.

We took over the capitalist technology. It would not
occur to anybody to reject the contact process for the production
of sulfuric acid with the justification that it was developed
by a capitalist society and that it assisted that society in
the accumulation of profits. However, we did not take, we
rejected the capitalist principles of commerce, which formed
the basis for the distribution and consumption of accumulated
values. In this manner we gave their natural effect of regulating
the quality and rentibility of production. We were then
forced to substitute artificially created regulating mechanisms,
which looked beautiful on paper but failed to perform in
practice, since they were not supported by any objectively
functioning material law.

If we take as the basis for the price of a product the
manufacturing costs incurred in an enterprise which has been
changed in a monopolistic manner with its production, the
director will always fulfil the prescribed goals, even though
the enterprise may work with antiquated methods, with a waste
of time, a poor technology and poor working morale. If he has
any interest at all, his interest will be to preserve the

"status quo" both in the gross price level and in the funds spent on wages. He will try to squeeze out anyone who may suggest that it is possible to produce goods of higher quality or at a cheaper price. He will surround himself with "yes-men", engage personal friends and favored individuals. He will demand from the authorities, as a counterservice, a further easing of production norms, justified by "objective causes". And the plan will be fulfilled, the enterprise will shine in the statistics and the director will receive a bonus- and the public will receive poor and expensive goods.

By contrast, a director who returns a quarter of the production to the workshops because of poor quality and insists on having it improved, will be late in fulfilling the plan and will become a black sheep "above" and "below". He will deprive people of a bonus and the directing office will brand him a "non-fulfiller" who moreover produces quarrels and is generally a source of trouble. He is reprimanded and subjected to disciplinary investigations, while the "fulfiller", who is much less valuable both as an expert and as a human being, advances in the glow of official favor.

To prevent such a situation, we construct a complicated network of guards, and further guards, who are charged with supervising the guards so that someone should not corrupt them. The unproductive apparatus grows but the root of the evil is not removed.

5.

It is different, if the exchange, distribution and
consumption is controlled by the mechanism of market supply
and demand (which in itself is not bound to the principle of
capitalist ownership and may be realized equally well under
conditions of socialist ownership, which it need not impinge
on). The necessity of a complicated apparatus is eliminated.
The control of productive activity towards the maximization
of both its volume and quality becomes automatic by the
effect of the marketing mechanism. The customer provides the
quality control free of charge. The director, who will be
judged by the demand for his goods, and by his success in
the export trade will no longer indulge in the luxury of
substituting for qualified experts his pals and relatives or
people with the proper connections. They would produce for
him painful personal losses and in the end "the shirt is
closer than the coat". And so quality must in the end win
through.

And it is just these control mechanisms, which represent
in socialized production an adequate supplement of a mature
technology, which we have disregarded and substituted by a system
of artificial prescriptions and supervisions, which are closer
to orders given to a serf than to the governing principles of a
modern industrial civilization. To use an expression used in a
different context by a Soviet physicist, it is as if we used an
oxcart to pull in tandem with a rocket engine.

Dear professor Kissinger!

As I already mentioned in my telegram
from the 3rd of May the organisers of the informal talks in Pra-
gue about the German problem consider that the general detoria-
tion of the international situation due to the last actions of
the US policy has created such an atmosphere, that it would be
unwise to held this meeting in the present period. We would like
to held out talks in an atmosphere of real friendship so that
they could bring an open exchange of ideas on the complicated
German problem. In this spirit we have accepted with pleasure
your initiative and were ready to the talks in Prague beginning
with May the 15th.

The representatives of the Czechoslo-
vak Pugwash Committee, the sponsor of the meeting, express a firm
hope that the informal talks will be realized in the future in
a better situation which could assure them a really friendly at-
mosphere. They charged me to inform you that from the very moment
this atmosphere will be created we are ready to invite you to Prag-
gue for the talks on the base of the agenda as it has been suggest-
ed by you in your letter from April the 13th 1965.

I am very unhappy that the things have
turned in this direction, but I hope, that in the future it will
be possible to meet and discuss the German problem in a better
and more appropriate situation.

Dear Professor Snejdarek:

I appreciated your letter of May 10th. I can understand the considerations which caused you to postpone our meeting. At the same time, my colleagues and I are of the view that it is very important to keep open channels of communication even during periods of tension--one could even say, particularly during periods of tension.

My colleagues and I hope that the international situation will improve sufficiently for us to renew our contacts very soon.

I hope you will let me know when you think that we might meet on the basis of the agenda of my letter of April 13th.

It was of great personal regret for me not to be able to renew the acquaintances which I had enjoyed so much on my visit to Prague in September. I hope we can do so soon.

With kind regards.

INFORMATION ON CZECHOSLOVAK TOURIST VISAS
for individuals and travel agencies

## General Information

Czechoslovak tourist visas are issued by the Visa Office of the Czechoslovak Embassy where applications may be submitted by individuals or by travel agencies which may or may not represent Čedok, the Czechoslovak travel agency. Regulations noted below became effective on January 1, 1965.

A visa can be issued immediately and is routinely issued within 48 hours of the time the application is received here.

A visa is valid for entry to Czechoslovakia for 5 months from date of issue and no visa can be issued which will be valid for entry beyond that time.

The length of stay allowed by a visa is noted thereon and varies according to the application. An extension of stay may be requested within Czechoslovakia.

A tourist visa is valid for entry and exit at any border point of entry which need not be designated and for a visit anywhere in Czechoslovakia.

A visa may also be secured at any border point of entry and a transit visa should, in general, be secured there. To save time the tourist is advised to-secure his visa in advance.

A previous requirement that a tourist purchase vouchers for hotels and meals as part of the visa application is no longer in effect. Hotel reservations, which involve the purchase of vouchers, may still be made in advance through travel agencies which have contract with Čedok, the Czechoslovak travel agency, and such reservations are advised in the heavy travel season. This office handles no vouchers or reservations.

## Individual Applications

The visa application form is printed and folded in 4 sections /which should not be detached/ and in such a way that the necessary 3 copies may by made as an original and 2 carbon copies. On the back of each of the 3 copies there is one additional question, space for the applicant's signature and space for the stamp of the travel agency submitting the application - to be used only if an agency is submitting it.

On the third section a photograph must be attached, by staples or paste, and no larger than the space provided, 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches.

The 4th section of the form calls for brief identifying information, no copies. This section will be used by customs and currency control officers and provides a record of currency exchanges within Czechoslovakia needed for possible currency adjustments on exit.

The last 3 sections of the form will be returned in the passport and must remain there.

Form are to be typed or filled in by hand-printed block letters.

- 2 -

Group Applications

A group of from 12 to 50 persons who will enter, travel and leave Czechoslovakia together may use a group visa. A list of applicants, headed by the name of the group leader with other names following in alphabetical order, should be submitted in triplicate. Beside each name should appear date and place of birth, citizenship and passport number. The passport of the leader should be sent to the Visa Office at the same time.

From every member of the group one set of application form filled in as stated above for Individual Applications with one photograph attached to the third section should be submitted at once.

Visa Fees

Single entry and exit per person ₡ 4.00
Transit in one direction ₡ 4.00
Transit in 2 directions ₡ 4.00-/without stay in Czechoslovakia/
Group, per person ₡ 2.00
Transit in 2 directions ₡ 8.00-/with stay in Czechoslovakia/

Adults holding a joint passport must submit separate applications and pay separate fees. Children under 15 years of age who are included on an adult's passport should submit no separate application and pay no fees. Children under 15 years of age holding individual passports are treated as adults.

Applicants for a 2 direction transit visa should submit 2 separate applications, each in the usual 4 sections.

An application, accompanied by the passport and check or money order covering the appropriate fee should be sent to the Visa Office, Czechoslovak Embassy, 2349 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008.

Travel Information should be secured from travel agencies. Here are answers to frequent questions. Individually owned or rental cars may be driven into and around Czechoslovakia. International drivers' licenses are recognized. Currency exchange offices are located at all border points of entry and exit during the tourist season and at banks in cities. There is no limit on the amount of currency which may be taken into the country. Czechoslovak currency may not be exported. Czech representatives are available for information at border points and in cities. No inoculations necessary.

Special note to travel agencies handling requests of Czechoslovak citizens visiting in the United States for extension of their Czechoslovak visiting visas. Such requests are to be accompanied by the passport and a check or money order for ₡ 4,00 consular fee plus ₡ 8.00 cable cost or ₡ 12.00.

Lieber Herr Professor Kissinger!

Wir verabredeten in Prag, dass wir uns wechselseitig auf dem
Laufenden halten wollten.

Mit Herrn Professor Snejdarek hatte ich ein sehr harmonisch ver-
laufendes Gespräch, welches sich einmal auf unsere Arbeitsgruppe,
zum anderen auf andere mögliche Kontakte zwischen Ost- und West-
Europa bezog.

Herr Snejdarek wünschte insbesondere Kontakte mit einem Soziologi-
schen Seminar und mit Fachleuten für die Probleme der Integration
(Erfahrungen aus der West-Europäischen Integration). Diese Auswahl
war für mich interessant. Er war ausserdem an einem Studenten-
Austausch interessiert, den er über bereits mit der akademischen
Austauschstelle vorbereitet hatte. Die von hier aus möglichen und
erforderlichen Schritte habe ich in der Zwischenzeit eingeleitet.
Ich glaube, dass die gewünschten Kontakte zustande kommen.

Das Gespräch über die Arbeitsgruppe brachte keine neuen Gesichts-
punkte. Herr Snejdarek sagte mir, was er mit Ihnen verabredet habe.
Ich nehme an, dass Sie in Ihrem Gespräch mit Herrn Professor
Snejdarek, welches nach meiner Unterhaltung mit ihm stattfand,
konkretere Vereinbarungen getroffen haben (?) Im einzelnen sprachen
wir über:

1. die Finanzierung. Hier hatte Herr Snejdarek Ihren Vorschlag akzeptiert, die Angelegenheit entweder durch das schwedische Peace-Research-Institut oder auf paritätischer Basis durch die Ford-Fondation und östliche Quellen bezahlen zu lassen.

2. die Zusammensetzung der Hauptkommission. Es herrschte Einver-
ständnis darüber, dass je ein Vertreter der vier Mächte des
Potsdamer Abkommens (USA, Sowjetunion, Grossbritannien, Frankreich)
teilnehmen muss. Auf westlicher Seite sollte zusätzlich ein Ver-
treter eines skandinavischen Landes hinzugezogen werden. Auf der
Gegenseite ein Vertreter Polens und - selbstverständlich - der
CSR. Wir dachten ferner an einen geeigneten Mann aus Jugoslawien
oder Rumänien, wobei die Entscheidung mehr durch die Qualifikation
der Person als besondere Bedingungen des jeweiligen Landes be-
stimmt werden sollte.

Zusätzlich soll, wie ja auch vorher schon besprochen worden war,
je ein Vertreter der Bundesrepublik und der DDR teilnehmen.
Dabei war Herr Snejdarek mit Ihrem Vorschlag einverstanden, die
einberufende Kommission nur aus einem engeren Kreis zusammenzu-
setzen, in dem weder die Bundesrepublik noch die DDR vertreten
ist.

Auch über Personen hatten wir schon gesprochen. Wir gingen dabei
als abgemacht davon aus, dass für die Vereinigten Staaten Sie und
für die CSR Herr Snejdarek kommen würden. Wir hielten es ebenfalls
für relativ sicher, dass für Polen Herr Lapter auftritt. Für die
Sowjetunion nannte Herr Snejdarek Herrn Khvostov bzw. Herrn
Talenski. Hierzu konnte ich wenig sagen, da ich nicht weiss, wie
weit diese Herren geeignet sind und wie weit unser Einfluss auf
die Besetzung drüben reichen würde. Ich nehme aber an, dass Sie
über diesen Punkt mit Herrn Snejdarek effektiver verhandeln
konnten. Für die DDR hofften wir Herrn Rienecker zu bekommen. Bei
den skandinavischen Ländern nannte Herr Snejdarek Herrn Galtung.

Für die Bundesrepublik werde ich wohl am zweckmässigsten benannt
werden. Herr Snejdarek will mir auch seinen Entwurf (siehe unten)
zusenden. Herr Burkhardt, Sie und ich sprechen schon in Karlsbad,
dass von einem gewissen Zeitpunkt an die Mitarbeit von Herrn v.
Weizsäcker sehr wünschenswert wäre. Ich habe in der Zwischenzeit
mit Herrn v. Weizsäcker gesprochen. Er ist einverstanden mit zu-

Ich habe ihm gesagt, dass Sie Ende Oktober bis Anfang November in der Bundesrepublik sind. Er würde sich freuen, wenn Sie ihn aufsuchen könnten. Seine augenblickliche Adresse ist: Max-Planck-Insitut für Physik und Astro-Physik, München, Föhringer Ring.

3. Der dritte Punkt im Gespräch mit Herrn Snejdarek war der Zeitplan. Wie Herr Snejdarek Ihnen sicherlich auch gesagt hat, wird er Anfang Oktober einen "östlichen" Entwurf an Sie senden. Er steht dann jederzeit zu Besprechungen zur Verfügung. Vielleicht sollten wir irgendein Zusammentreffen Ende Oktober zu organisieren versusuchen. Zu dieser Zeit sind sowohl Herr Snejdarek als auch Herr Lapter und Herr Khvostov in Zentraleuropa und wie Herr Snejdarek sagte, werden Sie selber auch in Europa sein. Eine kleine Schwierigkeit ergibt sich vielleicht nur daraus, dass wir vom 30. Okt. bis zum 1. Nov. unsere Jahrestagung in Marburg halten werden, auf der nicht nur die Mitglieder unserer Vereinigung, sondern auch Herr Lapter anwesend sein werden, so dass ein Teil des vorgesehenen Personenkreises für diese Tage praktisch ausfällt. Zwar könnte man theoretisch erwägen, dass wir uns gerade im Zusammenhang mit dieser Tagung treffen, doch führt dies voraussichtlich zu unter Zeitdruck stehenden Gesprächen. Immerhin liesse sich aber selbstverständlich daran denken, ein Treffen etwa nach dem 1. Nov. zu organisieren. Wenn Sie hier irgendwelche konkreten Wünsche haben, kann ich gerne helfen.

Ich bin überzeugt, dass dieser Brief - ausser dem Wunsch von Herrn von Weizsäcker, sie zu sprechen - für Sie nichts wesentlich Neues enthält. Ich wollte Sie aber doch möglichst vollständig informieren, um auch die Möglichkeit eines Missverständnisses weitgehend auszu-räumen.

My dear Mr. Afheldt:

Thank you for your letter of October 4th.

I have delayed the reply because I was waiting
for the proposal from Mr. Snejdarek on which we had
agreed. Unhappily, I have not had any word from him.
I, therefore, wonder whether they have had second
thoughts.

On my side, I have taken preliminary steps to
arrange the financing here. I think it would be better,
however, for the initiative to come from Mr. Snejdarek.

I will be in Germany between November 11th and the
18th: in Berlin for a German-American Conference and then
in Bonn on the 16th and 17th. I will then go to London
and return to Munich for the 20th and 21st.

I will make every effort to see Weizsacker and, of
course, I would be happy to see you if you wanted to get
in touch with me.

I may write Snejdarek a brief note simply to see
what his response may be.

I will keep you informed.

Lieber Herr Professor Kissinger,

Ich bedaure es sehr, daß Sie Herrn von Weizsäcker bei Ihrem Besuch in Deutschland nicht sehen konnten. Ich hoffe aber, daß dies spätestens Ende Januar nachgeholt werden kann. Gerne würde ich übrigens wissen, ob Sie bei Ihrem Besuch in Deutschland mit Herren des Auswärtigen Amtes über unsere Sache gesprochen haben und welchen Eindruck Sie dort gewannen.

Von Herrn Professor Snejdarek erhielt ich heute ein Telegramm in dem er mir mitteilte, daß er einige Einladungen in Deutschland, die ich hier arrangiert hatte, annehmen werde. Ich werde ihn daher im Dezember ausführlich sprechen können. Gleichzeitig teilte er mir mit, daß die vorgesehene Kommission von allen Seiten akzeptiert sei. Dies zu Ihrer Information. Wenn Sie weitergehende Informationen bereits haben, wäre ich Ihnen wiederum dankbar, wenn Sie mir helfen würde.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Thank you very much for
your letter of 1st July 1966.

We are looking forward with pleasure to the visit
of Professors Shulman, Doty and yourself.

Unfortunately, the dates you have suggested
collided with the 4th conference of the Pugwash Study
Group on European Security which will be held in Warsaw
on 7th and 8th September.

I should therefore appreciate if you and your
colleagues could come a few days earlier which would
make it possible for us to meet on 5th and 6th September.

I think that the subjects of our discussion should
be those related with the Pugwash Conference including
the problem of Germany and European security.

With best regards to Professors Shulman, Doty and
yourself,

Prague, 14th July 1966

My dear Mr. Snejdarek!

This is just a note to tell you how happy I was to see you in
Vienna. As for our Central European discussion group, my thought
is to keep the personnel essentially the same. I have not yet decided
on the source of financing--whether to use the American Academy or
the Kennedy Institute. Probably it will be the American Academy. In
either event, a loose relationship to Pugwash is acceptable to us.

Since you did not know about the Kennedy Institute of Politics,
I am sending you a press release which states its background and
purposes. Conceivably we will be conducting some of our discussions
on its premises when you and your colleagues come here next spring.

I am leaving for South Vietnam tomorrow. After my return
in about ten days or so I would be happy to come to Prague if you think
it useful. In any event let us stay in touch.

With warm regards and every good wish.
