Dear Henry:

Al Neal is heading a search for young businessmen with promising careers to become members of the Council on Foreign Relations. I have proposed Don Marron for consideration.

Would you be inclined to send a letter to Al, c/o The Council on Foreign Relations, with a good word about Don? It's time Don, who has much to contribute, began to be involved more personally in the area of foreign affairs.

It was good to see you at Woodstock, although my bout with the flu, which finally put me down for a few days, prevented our having any time to talk.

With best regards,

THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

Dear Al:

Bill Moyers tells me that you are searching for promising young businessmen for the Council on Foreign Relations and that he has proposed Don Marron for consideration. I want to express my strong endorsement of Don's candidacy.

Don is intelligent, thoughtful, and extremely able, and a fine example of the best of American young businessmen. I have the highest regard for him and I am convinced he would be a valuable asset to the Council. I hope we can get him.

Dear Henry:

I am going to nominate Don Marron to be a candidate as a Director of the Council on Foreign Relations. Don has the time and inclination to contribute substantially to the organization and we need his kind on the board. Would you support the idea?

We have been out of touch for a long time. I have wanted to call you occasionally, to urge you to hang in there, but I decided such advice was superfluous.

Dear Henry:

So pleased that everything seems to be working out so well. I hate to bother you at this moment in history but need your indirect help in applying for the UNESCO job at the UN in New York, in case the U.S. Mission at the UN wants to check on me.

Since Shep Stone had to close down the American Office of the IACF I have not been working on a steady basis and feel that if this job becomes available I really must take it. I'm told that it may require political backing and if you don't mind I would be most grateful if I could give your name as a reference.

Apart from your fantastic press, I keep track of your news through Steve Graubard and Paul Doty, but, regrettably, have not been in touch with Ernst van der Beugel for some time.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Sallie:

Do hope your trip to India, Pakistan, Bucharest, etc., was pleasant
but I was worried about everyone in that horrible heat in India and
Pakistan. I know it was the monsoon season and having lived in that
part of the world for over 4 years, know how unbearable it can be.

We are still talking about your visit and how exciting and interesting
it was. Pictures were carried in every paper on your final leg of
the trip.

I have a small favor to ask, if possible, of you. Do you suppose one
of the staff would write a TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN short note
on White House stationery regarding my short working stint with your
office. I plan on leaving for the States in December and will probably
find employment in California (my home state) and it would be of
considerable help if I had such a note. References are difficult to
record in this business as everyone is usually transferred or some
other place other than where you indicate.

I do hope you were able to contact my daughter, but as you arrived
during the weekend, felt it might not have been possible.

Again, may I express my delight in working for such fine people. I
thoroughly enjoyed it.

P.S. Please excuse me, I composed this in the Typewriter.

Dear Mr. Nayer:

Thank you for your letter of September 24 regarding Matthew Meselson's nomination for the Professional Achievement Award of the University of Chicago Alumni Association.

Somewhat ironically, I have had more contact with Dr. Meselson since coming to Washington than previously at Harvard. Through these contacts, I would not hesitate to support his nomination.

As a scientist-citizen, he has played a very active and effective role in terms of both adding to the public understanding of issues relating to chemical and biological warfare programs and policies and as a consultant to government agencies. His approach to these matters is one of sober, serious concern.

As an example of his peer group's recognition of his expertise in the area, last December the American Association for the Advancement of Science appointed Dr. Meselson to design a study plan with respect to the effects of the use of herbicides on the ecology and human welfare of Vietnam. I would expect that his work during this past year, which included a field trip to Vietnam, will provide valued insights in the continuing examinations of this important issue.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Matthew Stanley Meselson, PhB'51, PhD'57, has been nominated for the Professional Achievement Award of the University of Chicago Alumni Association.

The Professional Achievement Award recognizes those alumni whose attainments in their vocational fields have brought distinction to themselves, credit to the University, and real benefit to their fellow citizens.

We are seeking information to assist the Awards Committee of the Alumni Association in making its selection, and I am writing to ask your help. Evaluative letters from qualified persons form an important part of the resume prepared for the consideration of the Awards Committee. Your comments about Dr. Meselson's role as scientist-citizen and his work in exposing to the government the problems and dangers in the continued production and use of chemical and biological weapons would be most welcome. I am sure you will keep this inquiry confidential.

Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

While he has not listed you as a reference, Dr. Thomas L. Neilson (USN Retired) has indicated in his *curriculum vitae* that he has worked with you both at Harvard and in Washington. Since he is being seriously considered for a position of responsibility here, I should very much appreciate your confirmation of the facts.

Dr. Neilson's resume states the following (in part):

"Naval Officer with assignments as Aide and Military Advisor to the Secretary of the Navy (giving briefings to Congress and President Nixon); as Head of the National Plans and Policy Section of the Strategic Plans Division with Liaison with Dr. Henry Kissinger, his staff and the National Security Council; as Head, Navy Politico-Military Office for Far East Affairs (with briefings to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson)...."

"Prepared a paper for Professor Kissinger while he was at Harvard, and I was working with him, entitled 'The Integration of National Security Policies: An Examination and a Proposal.' Dr. Kissinger used this paper, in part, in establishing the new operations of the National Security Council. At Dr. Kissinger's request, I have recently sent him a paper on 'Dialectical Materialism in the Cosmic Age.'"

Please forgive me for saying that we rather urgently need your response to these statements, since the appointment in question is to be effective next month.

Thank you for your kindness in this and all good wishes.

The stipend of the professorship will be £4,305 a year.

A non-stipendiary professorial fellowship at Balliol College is attached to the professorship, save that, in the event of a woman being elected, a non-stipendiary professorial fellowship will be available at Somerville College*, unless at the time the election is made another professor has been allocated to that college, in which case the professorial fellowship would be held at St. Hugh's College.

The professor will be qualified for election as one of the official members of two faculty boards (Modern History and Social Studies); official members are elected from time to time (to hold office for two years) by the faculty concerned from the list of qualified persons.
