Stuttgart, 27 February 1991

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

It was kind of you to compliment the Allianz calendar.
This brought me to check whether you were ever actually sent
our anniversary publication which came out the end of last
year.

I learned that it had not been sent to you which I am herewith
making up for. Since the author made an attempt to intertwine
the firm's history with the general course of history, perhaps
one or the other will be of interest to you. I hope so.
Since the book is rather heavy, it is coming to you via
separate mail.

I am also providing you with a prospectus on the new building
which I was able to have built for Allianz in Stuttgart, as
well as the speeches given at the dedication.

I too look forward to seeing you in May.

Sehr verehrter, lieber Herr Kissinger,

es war sehr liebenswürdig von Ihnen, den Allianz-Ka-
lender zu loben. Dies brachte mich auf die Idee nach-
zuforschen, ob Sie eigentlich unsere Jubiläums-Publi-
kation, die Ende letzten Jahres herauskam, zugeschickt
bekamen.

Ich stellte fest, daß es unterblieben war, was ich
hiermit höflichst und ergebendst nachholen möchte. Da
der Autor versucht hat, die Firmengeschichte in den
allgemeinen Gang der Geschichte einzubinden, wird Sie
das eine oder andere vielleicht interessieren. Ich
würde mich darüber freuen. Da das Buch etwas schwer
ist, geht es Ihnen mit geöffneter Post zu.

Außerdem lege ich Ihnen einen Prospekt des Neubaus, den
ich für die Allianz in Stuttgart bauen durfte, sowie
die Reden, die aus Anlaß der Einwihung gehalten wurden,
bei.

Ich freue mich ebenfalls, Sie im Mai zu sehen.

Mit herzlichen Grüßen

Mit dieser Schrift hält der Arbeitskreis Firmengeschichte zwei besondere Ereignisse des Jahres 1990 fest: das hundertjährige Jubiläum der Allianz und die Einweihung ihres Geschäftsgebäudes an der Uhlandstraße. Bei Veranstaltungen mit Kunden und Repräsentanten des öffentlichen Lebens am 26. April und mit allen Angestellten und hauptberuflichen Vertretern am 31. Mai war das Haus ein Ort der Begegnung, ein Forum des Gedankenaustauschs und eine Stätte frohen Feierns. An diesen beiden wichtigen Tagen stellte der Bau erneut unter Beweis, daß er sich harmonisch mit der Tradition verbindet, zu der unser Stuttgarter Allianz-Betrieb einen wichtigen Beitrag geleistet hat.

Die Reden und Grußworte der beiden Veranstaltungen umfassen Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Zugleich sind sie Dokumente aktueller Berichterstattung.

Im ersten Teil der Schrift werden Begrüßung und Grußworte wiedergegeben. Es folgen im zweiten Teil die Beiträge der Herren ERNST WUNDERLICH, DR. PETER ADOLFF und DR. WOLFGANG VEIT. Sie befassen sich schwerpunktmäßig mit der hundertjährigen Geschichte und den zukünftigen Aufgaben der Allianz. Der dritte Teil enthält den Festvortrag „Mut zum Risiko“, den Herr PROFESSOR DR. HANS L. MERKLE am 26. April im neuen Vortragssaal der Allianz in Baden-Württemberg gehalten hat.

["Verehrte Gäste!", "Im Namen der Geschäftsleitung und aller Mitarbeiter heiße ich Sie in unserem Neubau an der Uhlandstraße in Stuttgart, dem Mittelpunkt der Allianz Versicherungs-AG in Baden-Württemberg, sehr herzlich willkommen.", "Eine neue Architektur versucht, historische Häuser mit modernen, in sich strukturierten Gebäuden zu einer harmonischen Gesamtanlage zu vereinigen.", "Kaum etwas anderes hat eine so weite Ausstrahlung in räumlicher, zeitlicher und gesellschaftlicher Hinsicht wie ein Bauwerk. Gebäude sind kristallisierte Gedanken. Gebäude sind Materie gewordene Symbole. Gebäude sind Manifestationen unserer Wünsche. Alle von Menschen errichteten Bauten ruhen auf einem doppelten Fundament: auf ihrer Funktion und auf ihrer Symbolik. So hat jede geschichtliche Epoche ihre typischen Bauten, die den Geist der Zeit und damit weit mehr als nur Funktionalität zum Ausdruck bringen. Wir brauchen uns nur an die Pyramiden der Ägypter, die Paläste der Minoer, die Tempel der Griechen, die Triumphbögen der Römer, die Kathedralen des christlichen Abendlandes und Bürgerhäuser des Mittelalters, die Schlösser des Absolutismus, die Industriebauten und Bahnhöfe des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts zu erinnern.", "Seit einigen Jahrzehnten hat nun der Verwaltungsbau, vielleicht sogar als ein für unsere Zeit typisches Gebäude, an Bedeutung gewonnen.", "Diese Entwicklung wurde vielleicht nicht ausgelöst, aber doch verstärkt durch das starke Anwachsen der administrativen Funktionen in unserem Staatswesen. dem zunehmenden Anteil der im Planungs- und Verwaltungsbereich der Industrie tätigen Menschen und das starke Wachstum des sogenannten tertiären Bereichs, insbesondere der Banken und Versicherungen.", "Vor diesem großen Zusammenhang sahen wir vom Beginn der ersten konkreten Planungen an die uns gestellte Aufgabe. Wir waren uns der kulturellen Verpflichtung bewußt, im Herzen der Stadt Stuttgart ein nicht nur organisatorisch, sondern auch architektonisch und ästhetisch befriedigendes Bauwerk zu errichten. Unser Ziel war dabei, klassische Formen, in unseren Zeitgeist übersetzt, mit technischer Zweckmäßigkeit und den heutigen statischen Möglichkeiten harmonisch zu vereinigen. Wir haben bewußt die alles verbindende, in sich selbst ruhende Mitte wieder gesucht und versucht, den Tendenzen unserer Zeit, die Mitte zu fliehen, zu widerstehen. Wir haben uns Mühe gegeben, die heute oft zu beobachtende Verwandlung der Architektur in den reinen Ingenieurbau zu vermeiden, uns aber andererseits auch nicht in ästhetischen Spielereien zu verlieren. Jedes bauliche Element sollte auch seine funktionale Bedeutung und bestmögliche technische Ausgestaltung haben.", "Unser Grundthema war: Einfügung, Zuordnung, Harmonie und dennoch in sich ausgeglichene Spannung und Selbstbewußtsein.", "Wir wollten nicht monumental, sondern bürgerlich im besten Sinne des Wortes bauen.", "Bei der innenarchitektonischen Planung haben wir der Funktionalität, der Flexibilität und Reversibilität, dem Rationell-Arbeiten-Können einerseits und dem persönlichen Freiraum des Mitarbeiters andererseits besondere Beachtung geschenkt.", "Unsere Architekten versuchen, in dieser Schrift diese architektonischen Grundideen auch verbal noch einmal zu verdeutlichen. Die Autoren der nachfolgenden Beiträge weisen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auf geschichtliche Bezüge zu unserem Haus und unserem Unternehmen hin. Der einleitende Artikel stammt von", "Peter M. Bode, den wir als unabhängigen und unbeteiligten Architekturkritiker gebeten haben, das Gebäude zu beschreiben und seine Architekturbaugeschichtlich einzuordnen.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

You will be aware that Willy de Clercq retired in 1989 as EC Commissioner for Foreign Relations and Trade Policy. However, he had no intention of resting on his laurels. He has continued his international political career in the European Parliament as Chairman of the REX Committee (Committee for Foreign Economic Relations).

Since then he has also found the time to write, together with Dr. Leo Verhoef of the NMB Bank, a book about his vision of Europe's past, present and future. This was by no means a simple task. In the book, 'Europe Back To The Top', facts and opinions were combined which resulted in an enthusiastic and enlightened discussion about the coming unification of the old continent. The first edition was sold out within a few months. The second edition appeared in 1990 with an English translation being published later that same year. Despite the fact that the book is already a year old, it has not lost any of its relevance.

Mr. De Clercq has asked us at the NMB Bank to send you a copy of his book as a token of his appreciation of your work and for the pleasant contact with you, which he greatly enjoyed.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our bank, and especially to our international activities, particularly the role our bank plays in the world of Asset Trading and Debt Conversion. At an international level we are the forerunner in these activities which also tie in completely with Mr. De Clercq's vision of worldwide developments in general and relationships with developing countries in particular. For this reason we also enclose a brochure on Asset Trading and Debt Conversion and a brochure on our worldwide office network.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

Thank you for your brief note after our meeting at the Management Centre Europe program in June. I certainly enjoyed our brief meeting, and naturally relayed your thoughts to the President of Finland, Dr. Mauno Koivisto. He seemed to agree with most of your thinking, adding that the position of Mr. Gorbatjov probably stabilized in April and is now strengthening all the time. I met with our President on July 18 and that development seems to continue. However, he was still pessimistic about the economic outlook. Recent developments make many Finns believe that, although the Soviet economy will continue to have a bad time, the risk for political unrest is gradually diminishing. I hope you agree.

President Koivisto duly noted that you plan to visit Finland next summer and I think he would be happy to meet with you then.

Mexico City,

January 21st. 1991.

As we have previously discussed, I am in the
process of establishing a consulting firm, to
support the efforts of Mexico to participate
actively in the new era of the globalization
of the world economy.

I have decided to leave Televisa and let the
new generation participate in this venture; my
son Miguel who you know well will stay on as
partner in Televisa and also as Vicepresident
in charge of the Corporate Image.

In this new endeavour I am as you can understand,
restructuring all my financial affairs and putting
the house in order as you might say. Within this
consolidation I must take into consideration my
participation in institutions and working groups
like the International Counsellors that you --
preside, to which I have contributed in the past.
It is for me at this moment not possible, dued to
this financial restructuring, to contribute the
annual cuota to CSIS.

Once I have concluded with this process I will be
in touch with you. I hope you understand my --
reasoning in this matter and I wish the very best
for this year.

Best Regards,

I have been trying to reach you to let you know that it will be impossible to join you for lunch on the 25th, as today, I have been convened by my party for this weekend.

We will first have a meeting on Saturday and on Sunday the National Assembly for the acceptance of the candidacy nomination, in my case for Senator of Veracruz, will take place.

I would like to thank you for having received Mr. Lorenzo Lazo in your office.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience and I will call you to set up a new date.

Christiane joins me in sending Nancy and you our warmest regards.

Dear Nick:

I enjoyed seeing you at The White House Business Council
gathering yesterday. What a wonderful time to meet.

As I mentioned to you, Henry Kissinger, Bill Simon and I
are going on the 1994 World Soccer Cup Executive Committee. It is
being managed by Alan Rothenberg, a fine Los Angeles lawyer who is
head of the U.S. Soccer Federation and also head of the Host
Committee for 1994. The Co-Chairman, Manager, and top full-time
executive (like Ueberroth in the 1984 Olympics) is Charles Cale,
also a Los Angeles lawyer.

As I told you, we are starting an effort to have a series
of commemorative coins. I met with Congressman Esteban Torres and
his staff early in the day yesterday and they are favorable to
sponsoring a bill and getting it started. As you know, Treasury
is important in this matter and we want to cooperate fully. If
you could let me know who we should contact in Treasury to start,
I will have Charles Cale call him and we can get started.

Sometime when we can give you some lead time, I would like
to introduce Rothenberg and Cale to you. Also, Henry and Bill
will probably be calling you on this to explain their interest.

I enjoyed seeing you yesterday. Thank you for your fine
public service and your friendship.

Dear Esteban:

Thank you for seeing me yesterday. I was impressed with your young staff people. Charles Cale is calling them to get started on drafting the bill. We certainly appreciate your leadership and cooperation in this matter.

I saw Nick Brady and he is favorable to helping. As I mentioned to you, I saw George Mitchell and he will help in the Senate. I saw Tom Foley and he will help in the House. The way I see this is you will be our leader in the matter and when you want help or us to do anything, Rob can get in touch with Charles Cale and we will respond.

We ought to be thinking about who should carry the bill in the Senate. If you have any ideas, you should have Rob let Cale know.

Again, thank you for taking this on and also for your public service and friendship.

Dear Tom:

I enjoyed seeing you at The Business Council. What a wonderful time to have the meeting with all of the pride and joy of peace in the Gulf.

As I mentioned to you, Henry Kissinger, Bill Simon and I are going on the 1994 World Cup Soccer Executive Board. One of the things we want to do is get commemorative coins. Esteban Torres has agreed to author a bill. He will write a "Dear Colleagues" letter and try to get the 218 or so co-authors we need. I do appreciate your comments, and we may be back to you on this.

Thanks again, Tom, for your wonderful public service and your friendship.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Please accept the enclosed paperweight in commemoration of America's and Kuwait's recent joint struggle. America's vigorous support of the President's decision to help liberate Kuwait and the continued concern for the stability of our region is held in high regard by the people of Kuwait.

As I reflect upon the unprecedented events of this past year, I am overwhelmed that such brutality and devastation could be inflicted on one country by another. Today, in Kuwait, we are engaged in the arduous task of ridding ourselves of all the reminders of the brutal aggressor, as we are determined to restore the dignity of our people who have suffered so profoundly.

Though perplexing and trying times, we shall never forget the sacrifices made by the valiant men and women of Operation Desert Storm who voluntarily risked their lives to liberate Kuwait. No words can fully express the appreciation the people of Kuwait have for America. You will forever have our heartfelt appreciation for your commitment to the principles of freedom and human dignity.

In closing, may I add that I look forward to a long and mutually enriching friendship between our two countries.
