Dear Henry:

I was not surprised to read the announcement in the press of your new assignment with President-elect Nixon. In my opinion, he had no other choice. I may be prejudiced, but I do know that you are the most qualified expert in the Western World in your area. I am happy to add my congratulations to all the others which you are receiving. Selfishly, I do hope this does not shut you off from visiting with us even though you are, as you have been, a national figure.

Best wishes for your success.

KISSINGER, HENRY A.

Dear Henry:

I wish to congratulate you on the excellence of
your performance. President Nixon was most fortunate when
he asked you after the 1968 elections to be his foreign
affairs adviser. I can well recall the discussions we had
at that time, since you had been advising Nelson Rockefeller
on foreign policy. I also remember my urge to you to be
open-minded if Mr. Nixon did ask you to join his intimate
group. Personally, I am happy for America that you did.

It is intriguing to note your association with
another Sullivan, Bill Sullivan of the State Department.
Apparently, the two of you have collaborated most effectively
for the good of the United States. I am afraid now that you
have gone beyond a mere Harvard professorship. This is
Harvard's loss, but a gain for the United States. I am sure,
however, that if you ever wished to return to Harvard they
would welcome you with open arms. I do hope that you will
write a book sometime on the delicate negotiations which
you have conducted, not only in Indonesia, but in Peking
and Moscow. It would be great reading, since you have the
faculty of presenting your thoughts with great clarity.
Your press conferences were superb in the way you measured
your words.

I just had to write to congratulate you on your
success and the fortuitous circumstance that you were present
when America needed you most.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I just wanted to say thankyou for all the time (and pleasant lunch) you gave me and for allotting me a share of your impressive wisdom. Also, it goes without saying that I am deeply grateful for your kindness in fixing up that chat with your boss. I only hope that somehow, for some unforeseen reason, you may be able to come over to Paris before too many years have passed and sneak out incognito one day to lunch with me.

Certainly I shall take you up on your kind suggestion that I call you when next I come to this country. With every best wish both personally and to your immensely important cause,

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I really don't know what I cherish more -- the beautiful bouquet of flowers, or the kind thought that prompted it.

Thank you so much for thinking of me. Please don't regard me as being an ingrate, but your gesture was quite unnecessary, because it's a privilege and a pleasure for me to help you in any small way that I can ...

Thank you again, and with very best wishes.

Dear Henry,

All of the Fellows at the Center take a great deal of vicarious pride in your appointment as the President's Advisor on National Security Affairs. In my opinion thus is one of the three or four most important positions in Washington (I include - the Cabinet) and I personally take great encouragement from the future of our country that you have been chosen to fill it.

Two qualities stem to me of greatest importance — realism and breadth — and these are precisely the two qualities which have struck me in your writings and lectures.

With every good wish as you undertake
these responsibilities on which so much
depends,
