Rome Recalls
Papal Nuncio

Pio Laghi to Head
Education Office

By Lynda Richardson
Washington Post Staff Writer

Pope John Paul II's U.S. representative, Archbishop Pio Laghi, will return to Rome in early May to head the Congregation for Catholic Education in the Vatican, which traditionally has been headed by a cardinal, officials said.

The appointment is regarded as a promotion for 67-year-old Laghi, who has served as papal representative to the United States for 10 years. He became the first Apostolic Pro-Nuncio in 1984 when this nation established diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Laghi has played an influential role in the selection of about 150 bishops in this country, according to a spokesman for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Joaquin Navarro, a Vatican

spokesman in Rome, described as unfounded speculation that Laghi was called back to Rome so that a stronger figure could be sent to deal with rebellious American bishops.

However, a source at the Vatican said the nuncio's successor "would probably be a tougher man .... The Vatican is certainly not going to send a compromiser to the United States."

Dissent in the Catholic Church in the United States in recent years has increasingly grown more strident over issues such as women's ordination, abortion and contraception.

Msgr. John Tracy Ellis, a lecturer at Catholic University said the only stumble that Laghi may have shared responsibility for came in the initial handling of an investigation of Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen of the Seattle Archdiocese. Hunthausen came under Vatican scrutiny after conservatives complained that he did not enforce church teachings rigorously enough. He was stripped of his authority in key areas of church work, but later regained his leadership.

Laghi's new appointment comes in the framework of several recent changes in the Vatican Curia. He will succeed the former archbishop of Washington, William Wakefield Baum, who has been ill.

would fail to join them in that effort.
Italian support was expected to be-
come more visible when Italy takes
over the rotating presidency of the
12-nation European Community in
the second half of this year.

Dubrovsky also said that a con-
current meeting between Czecho-
slovak President Vaclav Havel and
Hungarian President Matyas Szuros
"had calmed down" mounting Hun-
garian concern over the fate of
690,000 ethnic Hungarians living in
Slovakia. But he acknowledged
"tensions" in the main discussions,
spawned by the fact that the des-
perate state of the Polish economy
excluded Warsaw from the emerg-
ing market cooperation among the
other five participants.

Hanging like a cloud over the
meeting was the precarious political
condition of the Soviet Union, which
last year tolerated and even encour-
aged the end of Communist govern-
ments in its former East European
satellites, but which now faces na-
tionalist demands within its vast

tof Skubiszewski told reporters that while Poland valued "good relations" with Lithuania and favored a right to self-determination, "such changes must occur in a framework of stability." Otherwise, he added, "there was a "risk of destroying such stability as had been created" Moscow's former East European outposts and ruining their chance of forging links with the West.

In their talks, Havel and Szuro-
agreed to establish a joint commis-
sion of experts to solve problems of
the Hungarian minority in Slovakia
and the 110,000 Slovaks resident in
Hungary. Speaking a day after Hun-
gary's center-right Democratic Fo-
rum won a resounding election vic-
tory with pledges to protect the
millions of ethnic Hungarians living
outside the country, Havel said that
Czechoslovakia would take steps to
eliminate provisions of a 1945
agreement limiting Hungarians' fu-
exercise of minority rights.

tensions were underlined in a de-

Dear Peter:

Your note and the book on the life and
work of Margaret Mee was waiting for me
when I returned from a trip abroad. She
must have been an extraordinary woman to
have produced such brilliant botanical
paintings and such beautiful photographs
of the Amazon region. I am delighted to
have it and thank you most kindly for
thinking of me.

Looking forward to seeing you in June,

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I hope to be seeing you in June in Madrid and hear your views on
the fantastic developments in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
I have also enjoyed the articles which you have kindly sent me.

I am sending you a book which was published here recently, with
the help of Shell Brasil, on the life and work of Margaret Mee, who was
an extraordinary botanist and painter. At an age well over seventy she
was still taking long trips into virtually unexplored regions of the
Amazon Forest, in order to paint flowers, birds and animals. She had
been doing this since she was a very young woman and it seems ironical
that, having spent off-and-on fifty years of her life travelling in
the "dangerous" and "pestilential" Amazon Forest, she should have died
by being run over in London !

Hoping 1990 brings you continued success and happiness,

Dear Henry,

Can you give us a short piece? I hope so! It would be a contribution to a new ENCOUNTER Symposium, and for it we would like very much to have a brief statement from you (500-1,500 words) in the next two or three weeks, preferably sooner... Last deadline: 10 May.

The symposium deals with a special aspect of the drama of the last year: "the Death of Communism", the collapse of so many totalitarian regimes, the general recognition that the opposition to communism on the part of anti-communists, East and West, was deep, justified, true.

Zbig Brzezinski has led off by recalling the isolation of lonely voices in the academic, intellectual, and journalistic worlds in his life-time. Still he warns against "gloating". Enough is gained by the satisfied retrospect of democratic principles being loyally defended; human rights insisted upon (with a simple, single - not double - standard); strong foreign policies urged - i.e. only Western strength would preserve the peace (and ultimately dissuade the adventurers of totalitarian ideology from aggression).

How do you feel now about "cold warriors" and "peace fighters"? about "anti-anti-Communists" and "unilateral disarmers" and "neutralists"? - about the whole controversy in Europe and America (and not only there), over the issues raised by Koestler and Silone in Crossman's anthology, "The God That Failed", and, later, also by Milovan Djilas? Now it is not only the "gods" of intellectuals, but whole social systems, with armies and police forces, that have "failed", indeed collapsed.

The question, which you can answer in a personal or in an analytical manner (or both), is in a nutshell - "Who Got It Right, Who Got It Wrong, and Why?" You can name names or delve into the follies of ideological deception. You can tell an anecdote or sketch briefly a revised theory of a totalitarianism that wasn't total. Some will remember those who have been called "the martyrs" or the "prophets" in the movement of Anti-Communist Intelligentsia which has now issued in famous victories in Warsaw and Prague and East Berlin (and, one hopes, in Vilnius)... names like Hook, Silone, Koestler, Souvarine, among many others... Others may speculate on how these traditions can be adapted to the new tasks of building democratic and humane post-communist societies.

Please sit down and write now. It calls for no research, no lengthy reflection. We need a few pages which take an hour to write, and a life-time. We want to get the life-times on the record, at least snap-shots thereof, "at this moment in time".

Let me hear from you soonest! With best regards, as ever,

Dear MR. HENRY A. KISSINGER:

It gives me a great pleasure to announce my new appointment as of April 1990 as President and Chief Executive Officer for Hanil Securities Company - HSC (To be renamed as Hanjin Investment & Securities Company in September 1990). The HSC is a fully subscribed affiliate of the Hanjin Group which is composed of the Korean Air Line(KAL) and other numerous companies in the fields of construction, land and marine transportations.

I had been with Daewoo Group for seven years since 1983 as Chairman of Daewoo Securities Company (December 1983~February 1988) and concurrently as Chairman of Daewoo Research Institute(May 1984~February 1988), and then Chairman of Daewoo Capital Management Company(March 1988~March 1990). It may be an appropriate time now to make a fresh, new start.

I have come through a long, varied career, the highlight of which include Director General for Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Chief Economist for Research Department of the Bank of Korea, Director and Executive Vice President of the Korean Exchange Bank, and Chairman and President of the Export-Import Bank of Korea. General Douglas MacArthur made a popular barracks ballad immortal: "Old soldiers never die; they just fade away." But, I have felt that it is too early to fade into the twilight of my life for retirement and, therefore, I am embarking on a new career with full of enthusiasm, energy and determination.

Dear Mr. Secretary,

Early in your White House years, my wife, Nancy Ball, then of *Newsweek*, made arrangements for you to speak at an annual Washington Press Club Dinner (in 1970, I think), an appearance which introduced most of political Washington to your trenchant wit. Nancy (a tall, striking redhead) was your dinner partner that evening.

On March 25th, Nancy -- striking and lovely as ever -- will celebrate her 50th birthday. One of the surprises I plan for her is a collection of birthday wishes from some of the notable people she has met or interviewed over the years.

She'd be thrilled and honored if you could find a few moments to write a brief birthday wish, perhaps recalling the Washington Press Club Dinner. If you would, please send it to my office address:

Dear Mr. Secretary:

As a soccer fan I have long known of your commitment to soccer, and, more recently, of your leadership role in securing the 1994 World Cup for the United States.

I would be very interested in a major executive or consulting position with the World Cup '94 Organizing Committee.

As Mayor of Albuquerque I have been the leader of a large, complex organization --- chief executive officer of a 4,000 employee, $250 million city government.

I have negotiated complex issues with parties jealous of their sovereignty. As Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, for example, I piloted through the New Mexico Legislature a comprehensive reorganization of state government.

I have served as staff director and member of the executive committee of New Mexico's largest corporation --- analyst, planner, and organizer of complex processes.

My civil rights and political work have built strong skills as promoter, public speaker, and motivator of volunteers.

From a soccer perspective I am a founder and Vice President of the New Mexico Chiles Soccer Club, Inc. In our inaugural season we are the attendance leaders and probably the most financially successful franchise in the American Professional Soccer League.

Finally, though my international experience is limited, I have some international entre, am bilingual in Spanish (e.g. I do bilingual play-by-play telecasts of Chiles games), and am thoroughly immersed by marriage in one soccer-loving culture (Argentina).

Enclosed is my resume. I am available to meet with you and others you indicate on fairly short notice.

I look forward to hearing from you.

NOT FOR PUBLICATION

September 13, 1990

Dear Mr. Lewis:

Alfred Hitchcock's trademark was a brief personal
appearance by the master in all his films. Yours
seems to be misrepresenting my point of view in
pursuit of an otherwise valid argument.

I have repeatedly stated my preference for the
blockade to work. The real question is not whether
we should do a quick strike, but whether we should
tolerate a stalemate. This is a debate not to be
dealt with by flip phrases that pretend the national
interest can be assessed as if the deployment in
Saudi Arabia had never been made.

I confess I am extremely nervous about a large
American expeditionary force, with Iran on one side
and Iraq in front, amidst the volatile uncertainties
of the Middle East. In view of your stereotypes, my
stated preferences on *Meet the Press* of August 5th
may surprise you.

My point is not that we should make a surgical strike
now, but to consider it rather than be tied down
indefinitely in the Gulf when a stalemate emerges.
My article stated that this point will be reached if
the blockade does not work and if diplomacy is
deadlocked.

Obviously, I would not write you if my respect for
your writing did not nearly match my exasperation.

embargoes imposed by different countries in different parts of the world with different geopolitical imperatives don't have a great record.

DR. KISSINGER: You are right.

MR. FRANCIS: Suppose this doesn't work?

DR. KISSINGER: If that doesn't work, then we will face a situation in which the various--the small principalities in the Saudi peninsula, so-called emirates, will be totally intimidated because they will face essentially the same problem as Kuwait; and in which the Saudis will begin to tack towards Iraq whose fundamental demand is a reduction in oil production so that the price of oil can be pushed up. And I don't think we'll ever get to the point of military protection.

MR. APPLE: Do you think that we have the stomach in any way to involve ourselves militarily in that part of the world?

DR. KISSINGER: Well, it depends what kind of military action is contemplated. In the immediate future, I don't believe that Iraq has any intention of invading Saudi Arabia. And I believe there is too much discussion of how we're going to protect Saudi Arabia and not enough discussion of how we're going to get them out of Kuwait. If they stay in Kuwait, either with their troops or with their government, their domination of the Gulf will be extremely probable. And that is what we need to focus on.

For the immediate future, the only military action that I can see necessary is a possible blockade of the Straits of Hormuz and of the two ports through which Iraqi oil flows. And the European Community has hinted that they might be willing to join us in this. I don't think we should do this alone. Europe and Japan get much more of their oil from the Gulf than we do, and it will be a test of whether it is possible in the post-Cold War period to organize the industrial democracies on an issue that after all--that involves their economic survival.

MR. FRANCIS: Dr. Kissinger, isn't that very dangerous--blocking Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil? Doesn't that invite Saddam Hussein to close the Saudi oil fields? Isn't it a very serious gamble?

DR. KISSINGER: But his long-term strategy is to reduce the oil flow from the Gulf to a level at which the price of oil can be escalated by him to arbitrary levels.

MR. FRANCIS: So that lays the foundation for Saudi acquiescence, lays the foundation for all the sheikhdoms to say, well, we just have to live with this monster to the north.

DR. KISSINGER: If he stays in Kuwait, if the Iraqis under any guise stay in Kuwait, I think that it is very likely to happen. I'm not saying we should do any military action unilaterally. And I would like to see whether the economic boycott can work without it. But before we station troops in Saudi Arabia, I would try these other measures.

MR. UTLEY: But, Dr. Kissinger, if worst comes to worst, he doesn't get the troops out of Kuwait, can we live with a Saddam Hussein in Baghdad occupying Kuwait and oil production

Subject Monthly Ambassador's Briefing

Ambassador Lilley, in his monthly address to the American business community, said that the upcoming question of the renewal of China's Most Favored Nation ("MFN") status is increasing the already tense relationship between China and the U.S. The immediate effect of the loss of MFN would be a rise in U.S. tariffs on most Chinese exports to prohibitive levels. In response, the Chinese would raise their tariffs on U.S. exports, decreasing the competitiveness of U.S. goods in China. Among the companies affected would be Chinese-U.S. joint ventures using imported American raw materials and components.

Under the Jackson-Vanik amendment, China's MFN must be renewed annually by a presidential certification. By an unfortunate coincidence, the deadline for Bush to issue this certification is June 3, 1990, on the eve of the anniversary of Tiananmen. Congress must vote on China's MFN within 90 days after the presidential renewal. Certain amendments to Jackson-Vanik have been proposed which will require a majority vote by both the House and Senate for Congress to overturn presidential certification.

Ambassador Lilley emphasized that U.S.-China relations will be severely damaged if Congress succeeds in overturning the President's expected renewal of China's MFN. Although the President would have veto power over any such congressional action, the fall-out from the subsequent political fight and its accompanying rhetoric may itself result in great harm. The

Ambassador has told the Chinese that they should take steps to improve the diplomatic environment before Congress makes its decision. However, the Ambassador said he is not hopeful that the Chinese will take heed of his warning.

In the address, the Ambassador also described the recent National People's Congress as a "big show" which the Chinese are pointing to as return to stability. The Ambassador said the NPC defended the post-June 4 crack down by reaffirming the Party's mission to assert strong political control over virtually all aspects of life. The Congress stressed the need for central planning while hinting that the Party may relax the austerity program somewhat in an effort to pull China out of its present economic stagnation. The Ambassador emphasized that the basic conflict between the reform movement and hard-line socialism was not confronted in this NPC.

On the bright side, the Ambassador attended the recent launching of the "Long March 3" satellite. The satellite was manufactured by Hughes Aircraft Company. In his speech at the launch ceremony, the Ambassador emphasized that the launching of the Long March was an example of the potential benefits to be derived from cooperation between the U.S. and China. The Ambassador also noted the re-establishment of the Fulbright Program, and emphasized that the Chinese government has been very responsive to specific complaints from the U.S. business community.

The Embassy's economic analyst also spoke. He said there has been zero percent industrial growth in the last six months in China. He believed industrial growth will pick-up in the next six months as the government loosens-up lending and injects capital into the economy. However, he believes the effect of the Chinese government's approach to the problem of economic stagnation will be inflationary. The economic analyst also predicted a further devaluation in the foreign exchange certificates to FEC5.7 to US$1 from the current FEC4.7 to US$1. He believes this devaluation could occur by the end of this month.

From Matthew D. Bersani

Briefing

cc: Arthur L. Liman

The focus of the Ambassador's briefing this month was, once again, the possibility of China losing Most Favored Nation status ("MFN"). The fear that MFN will be revoked is palpable in the Beijing business community. The American Chamber of Commerce in Beijing has prepared a position paper (an outline of which is attached) that it has sent to every U.S. congressman and senator. The Ambassador is in Washington for consultations with President Bush about MFN. In his absence, the Charge d' Affairs, Lynn Pascoe, directed the gathering. Mr. Pascoe emphasized that there are a number of steps China can take to improve its chances of receiving an extension of MFN. However, he was not optimistic about China adopting any of the necessary measures. Given the Chinese leadership's previously demonstrated intransigence, he feels the threat of revocation of MFN is unlikely to result in any significant concessions on their part.

Particularly worrisome is the possibility of the Chinese taking violent action against the radio broadcasting boat, the Goddess of Democracy. The Goddess is due to arrive within broadcasting range of China in early June, just in time for the first anniversary of the Tiananmen tragedy. If the Chinese do not handle this developing situation with a great deal more tact than they have demonstrated in various other matters since June 4, U.S.

public criticism of the present regime will intensify. This, in turn, will make it more difficult for President Bush to extend MFN.

Others in the Embassy I have spoken with informally have said that they feel there is a 50-50 chance that MFN will not be renewed. They feel President Bush is still stinging from the widespread criticism of his "kowtowing" to the Chinese government. The Chinese must take some significant action between now and the beginning of June that President Bush can point to as the fruit of his "diplomatic" approach to the Chinese.

If the President is to extend MFN, he will probably make his announcement some time before the June 3 deadline, which is the eve of the first anniversary of Tiananmen. However, he is likely to wait until the end of May in order to avoid the possibility of being unpleasantly surprised by new developments in China.

Dear Henry,

I enclose an invitation and a solicitation for funds
to commemorate Isaac Stern's 70th birthday with a
Chair at the San Francisco Symphony.

Jeannik and I have made the requested contribution
but neither of us can attend the dinner. Jeannik
will be with Denise attending the opera in Santa Fe.
I will be with you at the Bohemian Grove.

I bring all of this to your attention with the
thought that it might be fun if we could get Isaac
to the Grove before or after this event. I am
confident that a Presidential Pass could be
forthcoming for such a distinguished artist. Any
musician of this calibre who volunteers to play


Let me know if you think there is anything I could
do.

Dear Jeannik and Ed:

Of all the places in the world he could have chosen, Isaac Stern has picked his hometown, San Francisco, to celebrate his 70th birthday.

The San Francisco Symphony wishes to take this occasion to make a permanent gift to him by establishing "The Isaac Stern Chair" to be occupied each season by the newest violinist in our Orchestra. Won't you join me by contributing to this endowment and helping us reach our goal of $100,000?

By donating $1,000 or more per person to this chair and by attending Ann and Gordon's elegant dinner, each of us has the opportunity to honor Isaac personally and be a part of this lasting birthday gift. I know you feel as I, it is a privilege to recognize Isaac who has done so much musically throughout the world.

Joining us for the evening's celebration will be Gregory Peck, Andre Previn, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and Mstislav Rostropovich, all of whom will perform with our Orchestra in a special tribute to Isaac at Stern Grove on July 22.

Recognizing all your marvelous contributions to the Symphony, I in no way want you to feel obliged to accept this extraordinary invitation, but certainly want to give you the opportunity to be part of this once in a lifetime celebration.

We hope to hear from you soon since reservations are extremely limited for this very intimate dinner.

Today's number of "La Repubblica" published a special supplement of the impending world soccer championship "Italia 90" and among others, publishes an article the title of which is "In 1994 the great occasion for the USA".

....."Where will the next Championship take place?

"In the United States. Henry Kissinger, the former Secretary of State, was adamant about it. In the last few years American football has become a reality: gone are the Medieval times and the 'Cosmos' parades of stars which included European and South American players who were in retirement or nearly (Pelé, the Santos brothers, Chinaglia). The official statistics of the Soccer Industry Council of America inform that 12.7 million youngsters play football, 6 million are professionals and that the American Soccer League represents Eastern USA, the Western League represents California and the North League represents New York and Philadelfia. The USSF, the national federation, supervises the entire business while NALS supervises University competitions."

It was really nice seeing you in Venice again and I only wish that the next time I see you will be before another year goes by.

With best personal regards,

Dear Mr. Lolli:

How very thoughtful you were to send me
the beautiful volume on the history and
restoration of the magnificent Marcus
Aurelius monument. The book is itself a
work of art and recounts a fascinating
history. I am delighted to have it and
greatly appreciate your thinking of me.

Looking forward to seeing you in May,

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Kissinger:

I would like to thank you for your warm hospitality Saturday night in support of Senator Eads. Everyone was very friendly including the dogs. I've often felt that pets are a reflection of their owners. I would also like to thank you for your comments on the international situation Dr. Kissinger. I learned a great deal as well as from your various interviews.

I agree with you concerning the current phase of the Gulf crisis and where it may lead to and when. I recall reading in the New York Times an article about no archaeologists taken hostage in Iraq. It seems that they leave around May and return in November. Apparently it is too hot to dig during those periods. Could it be that a soldier expends as much or more energy than an archaeologist? I think so.

I remember President Johnson publicly stating that Americans, when confronted with international military campaigns, want a conflict to be resolved quickly. We are hearing the same sentiment today. Get in, resolve the situation, and then get out. Too bad he could not or would not act on that reality. Not until Nixon did we begin act effectively. I'm sure you had something to do with that.

I just hope George Bush realizes that it is very important that, not if, but when the fighting starts, we have to have the courage to use maximum force, not only to restore economic stability, as you mentioned, but also to send a stern message to other Saddams' that upsetting the economic apple cart will be dealt with very severely. I think Bush realizes this although I am concerned that he may back down a bit as with his no new taxes pledge and his compromise on the Budget. It will take more than that before I stop believing in him though. I believe the Iraqis had about a three day window in which to move into Saudi Arabia. I am concerned that our window may begin to diminish if we do not have the courage to act soon.

I also think that, in conjunction with the UN, we must have a multinational rapid deployment force with the rules spelled out to the world that we will act in concert immediately to quell any unjust or selfish regime that happens to pop up. Unfortunately, I believe there will always be certain leaders who, for what ever reason, (primarily economic), will create havoc for the rest of us. We must be in a position to deal with that.

Being in the investment management business, you can imagine that I am concerned with economic fluctuations. I believe the World is economically interrelated and that economics has and always will rule the World just as we all need to eat and sleep. It's basic human nature. What makes people happy? I think having the freedom and incentive to work and love and make decisions for themselves. The problem arises when a group of people with ideals that are out of sync with that basic human nature gain power.

I also agree that the Soviet Union will eventually release the Eastern Block countries into self determination. Arthur Laffer, in an article which, if you care to review, estimates that the Soviet Union, within 25 years, will regress into what is equivalent to a third world country. I have always had a gut feeling that would happen. I also have a gut feeling that China will emerge from under its rock of repression to form a major economic power, probably sooner than later.

I believe that there is a new world order emerging where free markets will reign. Hong Kong is an example that Bill Hay, an associate of mine and former CIO for the NY State Common Retirement Fund, mentions in his latest interview in the Wall Street Transcript, (also enclosed if you so desire to review). I think it may be around 10 years before we see an acceptable level of free market economic stability.

I am sorry we did not get the chance to chat at length but these are some of the things I would have discussed with you. Do you think I might be on the right track? Thank you again for a delightful evening.
