Madrid, February 18, 1976

Dear Mr. Secretary:

It was a great satisfaction for me to receive you in my

of the signing of the treaty between our two countries, a
treaty which opens up new prospects of fruitful cooperation
in the spirit of our relations of mutual friendship.

Like you, I believe exchange of viewpoints to be of very
great value, and increasingly necessary in the current world
situation. And I especially thank you for the evidence of
support for my Government in this period of crucial importance
for the future of Spain.

With renewed thanks and best regards, I am

Dr. and Mrs. Henry Kissinger,
Las Brisas,
Acapulco, Guerrero.

Dear Doctor Kissinger:

Two years ago I had the pleasure of meeting you
during your visit to Acapulco.

One evening, while having dinner together at a
local restaurant, the archaeological theme was
brought in the conversation and I learned from
your wife, of her interest for the ancient civili-
zations and monuments of Mexico. I offered,
and did send you a copy, of a documentary which
I had produced on the subject through our mutual
friend Jaime Peñavera.

As a substitution of the old copy, please accept
this gift which my wife and I offer you with our
best wishes for a happy and pleasant stay in our
country.

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
LONDON

September 13, 1976

Dear Henry:

This should be about four letters, but since your
time is precious, maybe my procrastination is prefer-
able.

Your thoughtful cable of thanks for the good support
you have received from our Embassy during your recent
visits was a tremendous boost to the Embassy staff.

I have deeply appreciated the fact that you have in-
cluded me on all your meetings in London and, of
course, I have lapped up the chances to pick the
master brain and thoroughly enjoy myself on our
drives to and from Heathrow, Downing Street, etc.

I have recently learned that there are other pro-
cras tinators - our children have never thanked you
for the plane rides you have given them. Shame on
them and their mother for not checking on this.

On a brighter family note, let me compliment you on
what a fine, intelligent, and thoroughly nice son
you have in David. He gets A + from Tobin and me,
and also from our children. Finally, you know how
much I like and respect Nancy. I hope it will be
possible to bring her on all your trips to London.

You are off to Africa today, and I have begun my
prayers.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

May I recall the very pleasant conversation we had in
the Delegates' Lounge after you delivered your eloquent
address to the United Nations General Assembly.

You kindly suggested at that time that I send on to you
the article which I had previously written about you,
and, in accordance with your desire, I personally
delivered it to Mr. Feeny in Ambassador Anderson's
office at the Waldorf Astoria on 29 September 1975.

I was rather surprised, therefore, that when I spoke
personally with you again on 1 October at the reception
of the Commissioner for External Affairs of Nigeria,
you informed me that the letter and article had not yet
been given to you.

In case the correspondence has gotten mixed up in the
course of your many travels, I send you for your
convenience a duplicate of the earlier letter and look
forward to hearing from you regarding a proposed
interview and also with respect to your inscribed
photograph.

With best wishes for your continued success, I am

22 October 1975

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
Secretary of State
Washington, D.C.

It was indeed an honor, privilege and pleasure to chat with you in the Delegates Lounge after you had delivered your magnificent speech in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations.

As promised, I am enclosing an article I wrote about you when you entertained the Foreign Ministers at a dinner party you gave in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York some time ago.

I wish I could have the opportunity for an interview with you now where I could write about you in more detail, as I regard you as one of the greatest of present-day world personalities. I specialize in feature stories and profiles of celebrities and have written articles on President Lyndon Johnson (who invited me to his inauguration); General Carlos Romulo of the Philippines (who helped formulate the original Charter for the U.N.); Her Imperial Highness, the Princess Ashraf of Iran; Lord Louis Mountbatten of Burma, the last Viceroy of India; Secretary-General U Thant (who brought me to the U.N.); President John F. Kennedy; Ambassador and Mrs. George Bush; Ambassador Angie Brooks Randolph of Liberia, former President of the General Assembly; and many others too numerous to mention here, from the diplomatic, social and artistic fields.

You, Mr. Secretary, are truly unique; you are an intellectual, statesman and diplomat par excellence and you have tremendous charm which has a magnetic impact in your contact with people. I should like to do a human interest story about you, and dwelling on you as Kissinger, the MAN!

Would this be possible?

(please turn over....)

The International Set

BY BERTHA ARONIN

There have been many spectacular social functions to usher in the 28th General Assembly of the United Nations, but one event in particular commanded the most attention.

It was the dinner given by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for the foreign ministers, the ambassadors and their lovely ladies, from all the 135 member states of that august and revered world organization. The setting chosen for the celebration was the dazzling and majestic Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York where, in its hallowed halls, one is surrounded by impressive evidences of the whole history of man, from his primitive state until the present day, and where works of art of earlier civilizations are of such rare design, craftsmanship and beauty that one wanders around spellbound in admiration of the old-master paintings, antique rugs, ancient jewelry and archeological discoveries in the findings of old temples and even Egyptian mummies!

Seated at tables in a spacious marble-floored auditorium, where fountains spewed and sprinkled into the air scintillating sprays of sparkling spring waters amidst impressive life-size sculptures, where sweet dinner music was played by a special band direct from the White House, and where the same musicians meandered later among the guests and with dulcet violins and in romantic mood, serenaded and paid tribute to the *fair fair sex*--where there were masses of American country flowers and the soft flattering glow of a myriad lighted candles.

Present were tycoons of industry, stars of stage and screen, celebrities from all walks of life, all amongst a galaxy of almost all the top representatives of the entire diplomatic corps. Easily recognized by newcomers were stately, towering Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim and his fascinating wife; dashing Governor and Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller; debonair Mayor Lindsay; the distinguished Senator Javits and his sweet spouse; the inimitable Danny Kaye; the aurocratic William Buckley; Foreign Minister Abban from Israel (orator par excellence) and his charming wife and Israeli Ambassador Tekoah with his blond beauty (the former had hosted a cocktail party earlier at the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf Astoria). There was the dynamic Foreign Minister Hilgard Muller of South Africa, very much in the current news (the next day he eloquently delivered a momentous and magnificent speech in the General Assembly Hall), and his attractive wife Anita, radiant in pastel-colored printed chiffon--David Merrick, noted producer, and his winsome wife--U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., and Mrs. Scali in lovely black sequin gown--Ambassador Carl von Hirschberg, tall, lean and stalwart with a stunning shock of silky silvery hair, and his Mary, positively enchanting in pale pink chiffon with voluminous skirt and pearlized sequin embroidered tight-fitting bodice with long trumpet sleeves--French Ambassador and Mrs. Gearinguard, ravishing and chic in bottle-green chiffon with long flame-colored stole and matching corsage--and gorgeous women everywhere, many in exotic national dress with their escorts, men of power, prestige, achievement, culture, education and rank--privileged to serve and guide the destinies of their people!!

And what was on the menu?

Smoked trout with horseradish. (Freemark Abbey Johannesberg Riesling
1969)

Roast Filet of Veal, Bouquet of Vegetables (Robert Montavi Cabernet
Sauvignon 1970)

Mixed Green Avocado Salad served with Brie Cheese

Lemon Mousse (Champagne, Sonona Brut)

Demi-Tasse

The consensus of opinion was that Mr. Kissinger was a very delightful
host and also, as everyone knows, an excellent after-dinner speaker. He
is a Beau Brummel, suave and sophisticated, with impeccable manners.
Erstwhile pedantic professor and present political genius, he always
rises to every occasion with gusto, poise and aplomb! Everything was
planned with good taste, elegance and perfection. Does this portend, I
wonder, a return to the gracious living formerly enjoyed in a more
leisured era at the turn of the century in America? I hope so!!

The shadowy ghosts lurking in the dark, murky corners of the
museum might have regarded the glittering scene with a slight trace of
cynicism. Would they have uttered words of warning in saying to the
grandiose assembly, 'We have left our mark in the artistic works you
see here BUT you can do much more for posterity! You, from every
country imaginable, have sat here with one another in enjoyment and
fellowship--you have broken bread together--you have touched hands
in greeting and you are all brothers and sisters in this divine universe!
You, altogether, can, if you will it, and with dialogue and peaceable
discussion with one another, you can, with the magic of your combined,
unity, capture the elusive will of the wisp of eternal peace for all man-
kind and for all eternity! That, indeed, would be the most priceless
treasure you could possibly bestow upon the long-suffering human race!!

Well, that is just my cup of tea for today. Cheerio, 'til we meet again.
