HAK:

Sue Rich from the Yakima Town Hall called and said that when you were there you offered to help get Jeane Kirkpatrick.

Because they can only afford to pay $12,000-$15,000 (they paid you $15,000), they can't afford to go through HW and thought you could help get her directly.

If you are interested, I have attached a letter to Kirkpatrick for your signature, and will have them write her directly.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Your recent editorial in *The Washington Post* on OPEC and the political stability of Persian Gulf oil producers interests us as a possible topic of discussion on our informal half-hour radio program, AMERICAN ENERGY UPDATE. As you may know, UPDATE is produced by Americans For Energy Independence, a non-profit policy and education organization concerned with the economic and national security aspects of energy.

AMERICAN ENERGY UPDATE has been on the air since October 1983, and now reaches 150 stations each week via NPR satellite and direct distribution. As a public affairs program, AEU follows a panel format: The guest, a moderator, and two panelists. Eli Bergman is the moderator; joining him on your program would be AFEI policy analyst Thomas Stern and a member of the national press. I enclose several recent schedules to illustrate the range of topics we cover.

A week or two in advance of its air date, a program is taped at the Chamber of Commerce Building, 1615 H Street, NW, Room 321, in downtown Washington, D.C. Mid-afternoon tapings appear best for us, but we do have some flexibility in our schedule.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience if your interest and your schedule can accomodate my request. It will take only 45 minutes to record the entire program.

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger

55 East 52nd Street
New York, New York 10055

Dear Henry:

We have been concerned for some time about using
the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of V-E Day
to best political advantage to us, the Germans and
the Alliance.

With that purpose in mind, I raised with Secretary
of State George Shultz last fall the idea of having
a special American-German program in Hyde Park for
this very purpose and the Secretary strongly endorsed
the idea.

The German side, from the outset, has had some problems
with V-E Day. While they recognize that the Nazi
defeat made possible the reestablishment of German
freedom, they are also sensitive to the fact that
they are living with -- and will have to do so for
some time -- the consequences of defeat, namely the
division of their country. So, May 8 for them has
several meanings.

Nevertheless, after giving my suggestion serious
and considerable thought, the Germans have now asked
us to proceed with a program at Hyde Park and have
told us that former President Scheel and other leading
Germans such as Manfred Rommel and Max Adenauer would
like to participate in it.

**Board of Directors:** C. W. Carson, Jr. / Richard A. Debs / Walter A. Eberstadt / Donna R. Ecton / Hon. Robert F. Ellsworth / Edwin J. Feuiner, Jr. / Guido Goldman / Gen. Andrew J. Goodpaster / Frank W. Hoch / Hon. Robert D. Hormats / Richard M. Hunt / Hon. William G. Hyland / Robert K. Kelley / Maximilian W. Kempner / Hon. Martha Keys / Lane Kirkland / David Klein / Joseph Kraft / Hon. Juanita M. Kreps / Gerald D. Laubach / Lewis E. Lehrman / Hon. Kenneth Lipper / Hon. John J. McCloy / John J. McCloy II / Hon. George C. McGhee / Hon. Harry C. McPherson, Jr. / Hon. William B. Macomber / Elizabeth Midgley / Cecil J. Olmstead / Hon. Stanley R. Resor / John E. Rielly / Hon. Frank Shakespeare / Hon. Sargent Shriver / Hon. Marshall D. Shulman / Joseph E. Slater / Gen. William Y. Smith / Hon. Anthony M. Solomon / Stephen Stamas / Martha R. Wallace / Eric M. Warburg / James F. Waters, Jr. / Frederick D. Wilkinson, Jr. / Rodney E. Willoughby

My thought is that we, whose experiences span this
period, might profit from a serious discussion of
the meaning of the anniversary, to review what has
been accomplished, and to look ahead to where we
will be going.

To do this, we are planning a dinner for selected
guests followed by a panel discussion at Hyde Park
(at the Roosevelt Library) on the evening of May 7,
with people like yourself, Senator Mathias, Generals
Collins and Goodpaster, and one or two former
Ambassadors to Germany. We plan to arrange full
media coverage, including television and particularly
German television, so that the program can be seen
in Germany on May 8.

Your participation would be most important and
helpful. So, I hope I can persuade you to join us.
We will make all the necessary arrangements at
Hyde Park and help in any way to make it a useful and
pleasant experience.

Please let me know whether we can count on you.

OCT 09 1985

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I am always pleased to read interviews with you in newspapers and magazines and I try to view you whenever you are on television. I hope you and your family are well.

Presently, I am going through hard times. It is quite hard for me to find a job and I do not see the inside of a grocery store as often as I used to. I find this situation a bigger blow for my ego and self-respect than for my wallet. Rather than feeling like the young man that I am, I often feel like I am aging before my time.

You are a man who has, throughout a distinguished diplomatic career, stood on the mountaintop and also languished in the valley. You have experienced both victory and defeat. When things were real bad for you, how did you survive? What kept you going whenever your ego felt crushed by the weight of seemingly uncontrollable events?

Even though you must be very busy, I would certainly appreciate a reply. We all must learn from each other, and, even though you are a man of considerable stature, I am not reluctant to write to you. There is an old saying that goes: "Every man is my superior in that I may learn from him."

Thank you, Dr. Kissinger, for your time.
