FROM: Jody Williams, Office of Henry A. Kissinger, DC

RE: Mr. Nerlich's US trip

Our apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Will
Mr. Nerlich be spending any time in NYC on this trip--or is
he just making the brief visit to Washington? If he is only
flying in and out of Washington, it appears that Dr. Kissinger
will again have to miss him; he left yesterday on an overseas
trip for a week and is then going to be on the West Coast
all of next week, not returning to the office until Monday,
July 25th.

Please let me know, either by return fax to 212/753-7248 (our
machine is here in DC despite NYC area code) or by telephone.

DIPLOMACY

Diplomacy and the
American Democracy

David D. Newsom

"David Newsom is a diplomat's diplomat, cool under fire, experienced, wise. Once a journalist, now a scholar, he combines the best of all three disciplines, and his writing is the smoothly crafted distillation of years in the trenches of the nation's highest interests."
—Marvin Kalb

"Diplomacy and the American Democracy is must reading for those who care about America's role in an increasingly complex world."

—Lawrence S. Eagleburger

"It is hard not to seem overly enthusiastic about this astute and highly readable book. The interrelationship and importance to each other of American diplomacy and the American democracy—the two principal themes of the book—are probed and illuminated in a clear-eyed, low-keyed, non-ideological, and highly lucid way. Sensible generalizations are peppered with insights and examples drawn from an unusually broad range of personal experience in responsible foreign service positions, both abroad and in Washington. It is a book every would-be ambassador and would-be Congressional foreign policy-maker should read, but so should many others. ..."
—Robert F. Goheen

"This is a first-rate account of the role of diplomacy in the promotion of our national interest. ... David Newsom draws upon his experiences and his insights to present a most readable description of the diplomat's responsibilities and challenges, as well as the risks and frustrations he faces in representing our country abroad."

—Edmund S. Muskie

David Newsom has served the United States as a career diplomat for thirty-five years, as a junior officer in the ranks, as ambassador to several countries, and as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs during the Carter administration. He has viewed at first hand how we formulate and conduct our diplomacy. In sixteen concise chapters he tells us how diplomacy has changed since World War II and what Americans seem to want from foreign policy. He then covers such topics as the interaction of diplomats with Congress, diplomacy and the media, the many sources of pressure for information, the Third World, human rights, the United States and political change, terrorism, the role of intelligence, the relationship between diplomats and the military, diplomacy and economic assistance, problems of telling America's story abroad, and the interrelationship between the needs of diplomacy and the American democratic system. Diplomacy and the American Democracy is a diplomat's account of the current state of the art of American diplomacy.

DAVID D. NEWSOM is a former Under Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State and served as U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Indonesia, and the Philippines. He is currently the Associate Dean of the School of Foreign Service and Director of the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. His most recently published book is *The Soviet Brigade in Cuba* (Indiana).

David D. Newsom

"The United States fails to listen to or ignores much of what the world is thinking and feeling. While still respected for their ideals, Americans exaggerate both their power and their influence. The Soviet Union, with its brutal system, has a better image than the reality deserves. Even in democratic nations, many say there is little to choose between the superpowers. In some traditional societies, the United States is seen as an even more destructive force than the Soviet Union."

Dear Fellow-Conservator:

We will celebrate the tenth anniversary of this wonderful program at the Conservators Dinner on March 14th. We appreciate your generosity and are proud of our growth.

Today there are 875 Conservators of The New York Public Library. By April 15th, we want to reach 1,000. To accomplish this anniversary-year goal we need your help.

I appeal to each of you to urge one other person to become a Conservator -- either by sending the enclosed membership form to a friend along with a personal note, or by inviting him or her to our March 14th dinner, with a follow-up solicitation to be made by you or the Library staff. This year's dinner will be held in the glorious Celeste Bartos Forum and will honor Armand and Celeste Bartos and my marvelous Co-Chairman Tom Wolfe, who will also be our after-dinner speaker.

Along with the joy of supporting this great democratic institution, Conservator membership brings fascinating benefits. This spring, as part of our Conservator Monday series, you will be invited to hear Toni Morrison on April 11th and Barbara Tuchman on May 9th.

In our anniversary decade as the Library "family," let us make the membership campaign our collective gift to the Conservators program. With your help, The New York Public Library will remain free, and the knowledge it houses will be accessible to all.

Dear Library Friend:

What better speaker in this presidential election season than Doris Kearns Goodwin, who has chronicled the complex and contrasting stories of Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy!

In *Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream*, and *The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys*, she demonstrated her skill as a writer and researcher, delineating circumstances, events, and personalities that shaped the destiny of the two presidents. As a former White House Fellow and a professor of government at Harvard, her personal and academic experience provide an opportunity for reflection on the evolution of the presidency during the post World War Two decades.

The New York Public Library is honored to welcome Doris Kearns Goodwin as the featured speaker at our Friends Lecture Luncheon on Thursday, October 20, 1988. Join us for a sandwich luncheon at 12:00 noon in the newly renovated Celeste Bartos Forum, opposite the 42nd Street entrance. Places are limited so do send your check for $25.00 right away.

Be sure to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for your ticket.

Dear Curt:

I owe you an apology and an explanation. When we
talked initially about the International Baccalaureate I did not fully focus on what it would entail. In fact, naively perhaps, I thought that
lending my name was the extent of it, and that I
was happy to do. But having now seen the letters
prepared by the public relations firm in New York
and the list of people they want me to contact, I
realize they are ultimately - if not immediately -
fundraising letters and that the majority are
addressed to personal friends.

One of the rules I have consistently followed is
never to solicit money from friends, no matter how
worthy the cause. Without exception in more than
thirty years I have never done so. I hate to let
you down, but I will have to back out. I sincerely
regret that I did not let you know sooner, but I
have been traveling almost continually during the
last few months and have been distracted by the
demands of the Presidential campaign. If there is
another way I can be helpful that does not involve
solicitation, please let me know. I can only hope
you will understand.

Re: Telephone message for HAK, interview request

Telephone interview request from Karen Monson, who is in Houston now to write a review on the world premiere of the opera "Nixon in China" for the Harvard magazine. She was a student at Harvard when HAK was teaching, and says that the guy who plays HAK in the opera has his exact mannerisms. The dress rehearsal was last night, and she was told that HAK would be in Houston for the opening tomorrow night.

Upon learning that HAK will *not* be in Houston, she requested a short telephone interview (ca. 20-minutes) anytime within the next week. The questions she wants to ask:

1) What is it like to be portrayed in an opera of this much national attention?

2) What do you think about the China visit as the subject of an opera?

3) Does this concept bother you from a semi-political point of view?

I told her that HAK would be travelling constantly, but that we would try to get a message to him to call her in Houston the next couple of days, or at her home in Baltimore from Friday evening on.
