Dear Mr. Secretary:

You are cordially invited to attend a luncheon on Tuesday, February 26 in the Jet Room of the National Aviation Club, 1156 - 15th Street, N. W., to hear a report on Vietnam by Ambassador John Moore Allison, former Assistant Secretary for Far Eastern Affairs, and other members of a fact-finding mission just back from Saigon.

In recent weeks, as you know, the Saigon government has come under renewed attack. By alleging widespread political persecution and police-state tactics, critics seek to persuade Congress to sharply cut back or eliminate altogether U. S. aid to the South Vietnamese government. Until now, little or no effort has been made to verify these charges.

This non-partisan group of eight concerned Americans--headed by two distinguished former career Ambassadors--Allison and Elbridge Durbrow--and including a leading Congressman, a university professor and representatives of the news media, undertook an intensive eight-day fact-finding trip to South Vietnam to determine, on the scene, the facts concerning charges of repression and to assess the desirability of continuing U. S. aid to South Vietnam.

A written report will be released and questions from guests will be welcomed. The report will be submitted also to Members of Congress and the appropriate Committees.

The bar will open at 11:45.

Hope to see you at the luncheon on the 26th.

Faithfully,

Philip C. Clarke

## George C. Marshall Associates

The George C. Marshall Associates has been established by the Board of Trustees of the Marshall Research Foundation to recognize exceptional leadership in support of the programs of the Foundation and its Research Library and Museum.

A private, independent institution, the Foundation is engaged in a broad range of scholarly and educational activities, dedicated to the ideals of selfless public service exemplified by General Marshall and specifically addressed to serving the need for a more profound understanding of the issues of war and peace and international relations which have shaped our times. Realization of these objectives depends to a great extent upon the significant giving of men and women who inspire others through their example.

Invitation to membership in The George C. Marshall Associates is extended to those who gave $1,000 or more in one or more installments during the Foundation's fiscal year. Membership in the Associates remains active during the year in which the gift is made.

## Charter Marshall Associates

The initial organizational period for The George C. Marshall Associates began with the Board of Trustees' authorization of the Associates program on April 14, 1975, and extends through the close of the Foundation's 1975-76 fiscal year on June 30, 1976. Those who have contributed or pledged for the fiscal year will be honored at the initial Associates dinner to take

place in Washington, D.C. in the Spring of 1976.

All donors of $1,000 or more during this
period will be named Charter Members in the
Marshall Associates and will be so identified on
a special plaque to be erected in the Marshall
Library's museum commemorating the found-
ing of the Associates program.

Membership

Although the satisfaction of helping the Marshall Research Library grow in usefulness as a center of education and research in Twentieth Century diplomatic and military history is the chief personal benefit of membership, the importance of participation in the Marshall Associates is gratefully recognized in several ways. These include receiving periodic special reports on the Foundation's activities, invitations to attend seminars, lectures, and special events relating to the Foundation's program, and annual listing of members in publications of the Marshall Foundation and an annual Associates Dinner, for members and their spouses, hosted by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation.

Membership in the Associates will directly
assist in the financing of additional acquisitions
and the maintenance and expansion of the
Foundation's program of research and study.

Recognition of Major Donors

It is the policy of the Foundation to recognize
(subject to the donors' permission) on a special
panel in the Museum lobby the names of all
donors whose cumulative gifts total $10,000 or
more. This roster is organized under the follow-

ing categories: **Founders** (donors of $100,000 or more), **Benefactors** (donors of $25,000 to $99,999), and **Patrons** (donors of $10,000 to $24,999). The panel will be erected during 1975-76 and will be up-dated yearly.

Leadership in the Associates Program is
provided by the Trustees' Development
Committee: General Lucius D. Clay, Chairman;
Carter L. Burgess; William C. Foster; W. John
Kenney; William McChesney Martin, Jr.;
Brigadier General Frank McCarthy; John J.

McCloy; George C. McGhee; William D.
Pawley; Major General Charles E. Saltzman;
James R. Shepley; Langbourne M. Williams.

Gifts to the George C. Marshall Research
Foundation are deductible in computing federal
income tax. Information about ways in which
your gift can be made and purposes it may
serve will gladly be provided by writing to the
Executive Director, George C. Marshall

Dear Henry:

It is my hope that you will accept this invitation to join
with us as a charter member of The George C. Marshall Associates.

The enclosed presentation describes The George C. Marshall
Associates, adopted by action of our Board of Trustees April 14, 1975,
as a program for the encouragement of leadership-giving in support of
the annual operations of the Marshall Foundation.

It would give me great satisfaction to welcome you as a
participant in this program. The first annual dinner meeting of our
group will be held in Washington next spring, at which time the
Trustees of the Foundation would enjoy and appreciate the pleasure of
your company as a Marshall Associate.

Payment of your gift commitment at the Associate's level of
$1,000 or more may be made at your convenience prior to the close of
the Foundation's fiscal year, June 30, 1976.

I do not know of any enterprise that relates more signifi-
cantly to the meaning of America and the perpetuation of its best
traditions than the work of the Marshall Foundation. I have found my
association with it a deeply rewarding experience, and I strongly
believe you will too.

I look forward to hearing from you.

February 23, 1976

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
Secretary of State
Department of State
Washington, D.C. 20520

Dear Henry:

You have or will shortly receive an invitation from General Lucius Clay to become a Charter Member of the George C. Marshall Associates. During my association with the Marshall Foundation over the past ten years, I have found the program that has been developed under the leadership of Mr. Lovett and General Bradley exceptionally worthy. It fills a real need in telling the story of General Marshall's service and preserving the record of his outstanding public career, but more importantly providing an original and unique source for researchers on the first 60 years of this century on the military and international political posture of our nation. I was General Marshall's special assistant the last five years of his government service and know intimately of his impact on this period.

The program has developed in the last few years from a small museum and archive into a vital educational institution including scholarships, educational exchanges, conferences and lectures. I feel sure that you will find satisfaction in becoming associated with the Foundation through this new program.

I attach a copy of our latest publication, which will give you a background of the Foundation's activities.

With warm regards.

HONORING THE

AND IN TRIBUTE TO
THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF

General of the Army George Catlett Marshall

U. S. Army Chief of Staff
Secretary of State

President, American Red Cross
Secretary of Defense

TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1976
SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING

THE STATLER HILTON HOTEL
WASHINGTON, D.C.

The life and career of General of the Army George C. Marshall, his service to the United States in war and peace and his contribution to the welfare of mankind in the reconstruction after World War II, provide the basic inspiration for the George C. Marshall Research Foundation. The initial emphasis is thus biographical and historical, focusing in the first instance on the war and postwar years of the mid-twentieth century.

Basic interests of the Foundation do not, however, stop with this particular era of history. The issues with which General Marshall dealt—military, governmental, international and humanitarian—are matters of continuing concern to this nation and the world at large. The Foundation has a responsibility to explore these problems in their present context. The Foundation also has a strong moral responsibility to portray the character of General Marshall as a guide to selfless public service. ☐

A HALF CENTURY OF SERVICE

General of the Army George C. Marshall was born December 31, 1880, at Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He died at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C., October 16, 1959. In his 79 years, he devoted fifty years of active service to his country in its highest military and nonelective civilian posts. His contributions to international betterment were recognized in 1953 by the award of the Nobel Prize for Peace.

The General's military career began at the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, from which he was graduated in 1901 after serving as First Captain. Commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Infantry in 1902, he gained Army-wide recognition during World War I as Chief of Operations of the 1st Division, the first American unit to go overseas, and as Chief of Operations of the FIRST Army. Perhaps his most important assignment between wars came in the period 1927-32 when he was Assistant Commandant of the Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia, where he had charge of instruction. With a faculty and staff composed of men who were to be leaders of World War II—a group including Generals Bradley, Ridgway, Collins, Stilwell, and Bedell Smith—he instituted methods of instruction still in use today.

Assuming the post of Chief of Staff, United States Army, on September 1, 1939, the day Hitler invaded Poland, General Marshall worked unceasingly to prepare this country for national defense, to raise new units, to train recruits, to develop materiel, and to improve morale. World leaders such as Roosevelt and Churchill and his colleagues in the Combined Chiefs of Staff testified to his skill as a strategist and administrator. President Truman hailed him as "architect of victory" and Bernard Baruch described him as America's "first global strategist."

General Marshall retired in November 1945 after six years as head of the United States Army. Within a few weeks he was recalled by President Truman to head a mission to China. Marshall's sense of duty impelled him to accept a task he felt was hopeless from the start.

In war he was as wise and understanding in counsel as he was resolute in action. In peace he was the architect who planned the restoration of our battered European economy and, at the same time, laboured tirelessly to establish a system of Western Defense. He has always fought victoriously against defeatism, discouragement and disillusion. Succeeding generations must not be allowed to forget his achievements and his example.

—Winston S. Churchill

At the close of his tour in China, General Marshall again heeded the call to duty. At the age of 67, he took up the heavy duties of Secretary of State. With Europe in a state of near collapse as a result of the war's devastation, he became impressed with the need of helping the stricken continent. On June 5, 1947, in his historic Harvard speech, he made the proposal for a European Recovery Program that became known in history as the "Marshall Plan." He played a major role in winning public and congressional support for the enactment of legislation which brought that program into effect in 1948. His role in what has been called "the most unsordid act in history" was recognized in 1953 by the award of the Nobel Prize for Peace. He was the first military man to receive it.

Many other problems claimed his attention as Secretary of State, including attendance at five major international conferences at Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, London, Bogotá, and Paris. The North Atlantic Treaty, although not signed until after he retired from his post, had its genesis in this period.

The General resigned early in 1949 because of illness. Later that year, he was back on duty, this time as President of the American Red Cross. He travelled extensively, visiting chapters from coast to coast. In September, 1950, as the Korean War gained momentum, President Truman called on him to become Secretary of Defense. In the year he held this office, Marshall worked extremely hard to prepare the Army for its heavy duties in the Far Eastern conflict.

Leaving the Defense post in the fall of 1951, General Marshall spent his remaining years quietly, except for service with the American Battles Monuments Commission, of which he served as chairman. He represented General Eisenhower in 1953 as the head of the official American delegation at the coronation of Elizabeth II. General Marshall died in 1959 and was buried at Arlington, where he lies amidst thousands of men who served with or under him in two global conflicts.

General Marshall was married to Miss Elizabeth Carter Coles of Lexington, February 11, 1902. The first Mrs. Marshall died in 1927. Three years later, October 15, 1930, he married Mrs. Katherine Boyce Tupper Brown of Baltimore, Maryland, who now makes her home in Leesburg, Virginia.

Opportunity for Charter Membership in the George C. Marshall Associates will be open until June 30, 1976, the close of the Foundation's fiscal year.

President Harry S. Truman thought that General George Marshall was a latter-day George Washington in many ways: personal force, keen intellect, far-seeing vision, and inborn leadership.

Today we seek to honor him by dedicating this area to his memory. The exhibits on display focus on his major contributions to the United States of America during his long years of service.

The various exhibits also show the gradual but continued growth of General Marshall as he rose to the highest eminence in the Army. They reflect as well the high esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries. Lieutenant Colonel, later General, Johnson Hagood gave his assessment of Lieutenant Marshall: "Yes, I would like to have him on my staff, but I would prefer to serve under him."

Such tributes, from peers and superiors, help explain why George Catlett Marshall became Chief of Staff, United States Army; Secretary of State; President of the American Red Cross; and Secretary of Defense. Under his leadership men strove to do their best. Unfetterd by political ideology, he was able to develop the most effective solutions to the myriad of problems that faced him in his "Half Century of Service" to his nation and indeed to the world.

Dear Mr. Clements:

Regarding your inquiry about the gifts presented to Secretary Kissinger which you have in your Museum display, I have learned the following:

The lacquer and mother-of-pearl table was a gift of the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Korea, Suk Heum Yun. It was presented to the Secretary in November 1974 when he and President Ford stopped in Korea following their visit to the People's Republic of China.

The brass coffee urn was a gift of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and was given to the Secretary during one of the early shuttles to that country during the middle east negotiations. The Secretary made a number of trips during 1974, and we are not sure on which one the brass urn was presented to him.

The painting of the girl with the umbrella was given to Secretary Kissinger by First Secretary Edward Gierek of Poland (this title corresponds in Poland to "President") when Gierek paid a state visit to the United States in 1974.

The vicuna blanket was a wedding present to the Kissingers from Foreign Minister Alberto J. Vignes of Argentina.

I am very happy to enclose a picture of Secretary Kissinger, but we do not have any prepared biographical material. However, this is easily obtainable in any library and, for greater depth, I recommend the Kalb brothers' book, *Kissinger*.

I hope this will be helpful to the University Museum.

You were most thoughtful to think of me while on

Presidents and Popes do get phlebitis -- but
occasionally some of us peons get it too. So
you better be careful as you wander around the
world and you start getting leg cramps -- watch
out -- it is probably phlebitis. I am only telling
you this because you do not have enough to worry
about and I want to put one more thing on your
mind.

Henry, all joking aside, you were terrific to
think of me and to take the time to drop me a note.

All the best to you and Nancy, and I hope you have
a very joyful Holiday Season!

MEMORANDUM

To: The Honorable Harold C. Eichelberger
Chairman of the Board of Regents

In March 1969, when I visited Hawaii at the invitation of the Board of Regents as part of its search for a president, the then Chairman of the Board, Regent Robert Cushing, asked me how long I would be willing to serve as president if the Board were to appoint me to the position. My reply was, "Five years, anyway".

The Board's appointment was of course in the traditional form: "... at the pleasure of the Board of Regents" -- and as Chairman Cushing was good enough to add, "or his own". But I have considered, and I assume that members of the Board would agree, that the approaching five-year mark (September 1st, 1974) presents a convenient occasion to review together where we go from here.

Despite our internal and external debates on a variety of issues, I believe that the University community, with the support of the general citizenry and the State's political leadership, has in the decade covered by President Hamilton's tenure and mine accomplished a kind of miracle of progress in higher education. Access to postsecondary institutions has been enormously enlarged. Equal educational opportunity was hardly more than a vision in 1964; in 1973, it has become a practical State-wide policy. In some areas of selective excellence such as Asian studies, East-West exchange, astronomy and the ocean sciences, we are already a big-league institution by any national or international measure. Last year, after much careful planning, we launched the Law School and Medical School. The quality of all the degrees we offer, the research we sponsor, and the public service we perform commands a steadily rising respect in Hawaii, on the Mainland, and across the Pacific Ocean in Asia.

Mr. Harold C. Eichelberger

December 5, 1973

The Board presented to the Governor in the Fall of 1972, and we discussed with the Legislature in early 1973, a carefully reasoned six-year plan to achieve by the end of this decade one of the best State University systems in the Nation, featuring wide access through the Community Colleges and an Open Program, and selectively excellent programs in those fields which are "naturals" for Hawaii.

Unfortunately for the University and the community it serves, the State's fiscal crisis required a policy of austerity in all the State's social and educational programs. Our mandate for growth and quality was still clear enough, but the dollars were not there to support the six-year plan. As I said in recent testimony, the University of Hawaii is at "excellence minus six years and holding".

The uncertainties that have produced this holding pattern will be compounded in the near future by factors both economic (the energy problem) and political (the general election next year). For more than a decade, Governor Burns and a consensus in the Legislature have provided vigor, imagination and tangible support for the policies of equal educational opportunity and selective excellence, together with the ambition to play a significant role in the Pacific and Asian region. We can hope that a new political consensus, equally ambitious for public higher education, emerges without too much delay, and that the State's public finances soon permit a resumption of public investment in the University's quality and outreach. We can hope, too, that the long tradition of collegial relationships within the University can be somehow enhanced rather than damaged as we mix collective bargaining with academic governance.

These constraints and uncertainties have fundamentally altered the mood of buoyant optimism that produced the ambitious Board of Regents policies of earlier years. I continue to have a deep interest in the quality and growth of the University of Hawaii system, and my wife and I have developed a permanent affection for Hawaii. But from a personal point of view, I will before very long want to work out a combination of responsibilities, in Hawaii or elsewhere, that enables me to allocate more time and more concentrated energy to thinking and writing about national affairs, U.S. foreign policy, and public administration, which have long been my professional "beat".

Given this combination of circumstances, I would ask that the Board of Regents consider releasing me from our present arrangement at

any time after September 1, 1974 that in its judgment best serves the
interest of the University.

The University of Hawaii has a large and impressive pool
of talent on its nine campuses and in its dozens of research enterprises.
Its programs reach deep into the State-wide community it serves: about
one out of every 16 persons in the Hawaiian Islands is registered as a
student in the University system this semester. The State's destiny is
closely linked to the quality of its public higher education. I have been
much privileged to be able to help this University become both bigger and
better. It will have my continuing aloha in the years to come.

Statement of the Board of Regents on the
resignation of Harlan Cleveland from the
position of President of the University of Hawaii

President Cleveland has made major contributions to the vision, quality and processes of higher education in Hawaii during his tenure as President of the University. The momentum of progress established by Dr. Thomas Hamilton, his predecessor, with the support of Governor Burns and the state legislature has been furthered by his thoughtful management of the University's affairs and his imaginative planning for its future role in our state and in the Pacific.

At the same time, President Cleveland has ably represented the University and Hawaii in both the national and international academic communities serving on important boards and commissions and addressing distinguished meetings. These efforts have been effective in creating an increasing awareness of and respect for the qualities of our University resources. Such awareness has made it possible to attract outstanding people to our faculty and obtain increasing numbers of research grants. With all of this he has found time to publish two scholarly books and numerous articles.

At the time President Cleveland joined us we were experiencing, as were a great many campuses across the country, a period of student unrest. His personal courage was demonstrated in his

- 2 -

acceptance of the position, one of the most difficult in public
administration even in the best of times. The effects of
President Cleveland's calm, unflappable approach with the students
were soon evident in restored calm on the campus and a redirection
of the students' questioning of the social order to their seeking
solutions rather than dismantlement.

The University in 1969 had lost much of its earlier momentum
in the hiatus between presidents. Harlan Cleveland restored the
forward movement with his first planning statement, Prospectus for
the Seventies, which became the basis for renewed impetus in the
development of educational opportunities for Hawaii's people.

I will not attempt to list all of the many kinds of progress
that have occurred under his direction; nor would President
Cleveland claim exclusive credit for them as many were, in varying
parts, the product of faculty members, staff and others. However,
these accomplishments would not have occurred without the climate
provided by his leadership qualities.

The *spectrum* of accomplishment in this period, though, ranges
from the dedication of the new site of the Kauai Community College
in the north to the recognition of Mauna Kea as the world's best
site for astronomical observation in the south, from remedial reading
tutoring at Maui Community College to graduate degree programs in
law and medicine and from the development of a statewide system of

organizing our higher education endeavors to obtaining substantial
grants from Korea and Japan to develop further the excellence of
our Asian Studies Programs. These and the many other things
accomplished, or for which the ground has been prepared, have
enhanced and added lustre to our university system.

Individually, and as a board, we are grateful to Harlan
Cleveland for his leadership that made this progress possible.
We wish him well in whatever challenge he undertakes next when he
leaves his position as president next fall.
