Marge:

Mr. Kissinger has promised Douglas Scott, a security officer at Disneyland who has been very nice to him and his children and autographed picture of the President.

Could you arrange one that says:

"To Douglas Scott, with best wishes"?

After it has been autographed, if you will send it back to our office, we will see that it gets sent to the correct address.

Thanks.

Additional Information: jlp talked with Shirley Thorpe on 3/19 explaining that Mr. Kissinger had a crowded schedule today and wouldn't be able to see the Governor. Scranton will be in town tomorrow also (3/20) until about 5:00 p.m., but may not be back in town before he departs for Vietnam. (He wants to see HAK about his upcoming trip there--he is leaving about Apr. 5.) I told S. T. we would call back if it were possible for HAK to see him tomorrow.

Dear Paul:

Many thanks for your letter of March 16. It
was good to hear from you again. I hadn't
stopped to think before that the kidnap plots
may multiply if they look like the easiest way
to get an appointment.

A meeting such as the one you suggest sounds
most interesting and I would like to pursue the
idea. As you know, I cannot speak on the
record or for public attribution, but with that
limitation in mind I would hope that we could
be able to get together.

Please stay in touch and let me know what plans
if any, are being made.

Dear Paul:

Many thanks for your note. It was good to
hear from you.

Your invitation to visit is very tempting and
I shall keep it in mind. I do not yet know
what my plans for the rest of the summer
and into the fall will be, but would like to
see you.

Please stay in touch.

Dear Henry:

Berkeley is much nearer
than Peking. Next time try coming
here.

Seriously, it would be good to see you
and perhaps at some point a brief
respite to visit here would be good
for you. After all, a few of us
here would delight in a chance to
talk with you.

We will be in Martha's Vineyard in
August, but would welcome a visit
after Labor Day.

Dear Henry,

I am writing you as your cousin and as an extremely concerned citizen of this country. I cannot express strongly enough my sincere conviction that President Nixon's current course of action in Southeast Asia is leading us on the road to disaster and world war. We have seen that we cannot win in Vietnam; prolonging the war and expanding the United States' military actions into other nations in that area can only cost this country an immeasurable amount in lives, in money and in international respect. President Nixon's actions, far from shortening our entanglement in Southeast Asia and unifying this country behind him, are in reality getting us deeper and deeper into crisis and are pushing the current situation to the brink of international war.

I am a member of a great number of citizens who are expressing exactly what I stated above. We are going through all legal channels to bring pressure to bear on the government and to get President Nixon to reconsider his current stand on these issues.

Would you please strongly advise the President to seriously reconsider his current actions in Southeast Asia in the light of recent developments both at home and abroad. Our involvement cannot and must not continue in that area.

EXECUTIVE

FOL-11-11/KISSINGER, HENRY A.

Dear Henry:

KISSINGER, HENRY A.

This may arrive on your desk, if it arrives at all, after you have left for your next and, one hopes, final round of talks.

However, my editors have assigned me one last piece before I am spirited away to New York to become, like Max, an editor. That assignment is to write a fairly long profile of you to run when peace descends.

Much of it will necessarily have to be done from what is already a voluminous record; indeed, if I can't see you, it will all have to be done from the clips and my own agile imagination.

But if it is at all possible, I would like to spend a few minutes with you if you are here in the next few days. I am interested less in the details of the recent drive for peace than in where you think we have come and where you think we are headed.

P.S. You will not, as you may have gathered, have to face four more years of Semple. You will have four years of Apple, if this is any use to you in your future planning.

KISSINGER, HENRY A.

Dear Professor Kissinger :

I am late with my congratulations because I waited
for the Soviet reaction to your assignemet. I am
enclosing a Russian translation of the Izvestiya
article on December 4, 1968 in case if you do not
have it yet.

I wish you most sincerely full success in your
tremendously difficult and responsible task. Its
burden and importance are particularly obvious
to those who are interested in national securty
and grand strategy problems.

It seems to me that the psychological factor is
a most actual related problem which, to the best
of my knowledge, has been rather neglected both
in academic studies and in concrete strategic consi-
derations. I do not mean only the very specific
psychology of Soviet leaders : their political
indoctrination, Leninist code of ethics, group
and personal ambitions and characteristics, their
"class" social and cultural background, lack of
personal knowledge of the Western world and so on.
Their own words and deeds, reliable intelligence
reports and an abundant literature in English,
German and Russian supply the necessary information.

I mean the psychology of Soviet opponents which
strongly jeopardizes the use of this information
for a realistically strategic evaluation and
plannings.

- 2 -

Such strategically phantastic ideas as
De Gaulle's concept of Europe from La Manche
to the Urals; Prof. Reischauer's desire for
a " greater Soviet presence ( in the Pacific)",
or George Kennan's premature burial of communism
and seeing the Soviet Union as - using your
definition - " the legitimate state of Russia",
are something more than poor political judgement
which is fraught with the danger of strategic
miscalculations. They are the product of a
psychological climate where whishful thinking,
some prejudices and old cliches, insufficient
knowledge of history and Communist misinformation
prevail over strategic common sense.

I do hope that with your appointment this
psychological factor - and the whole " internal
front" ( which is the weakest point of /both
world opponents) will be considered according
to its strategic importance for the good of
this country and of the whole world.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Sincerely yours

Lev V. Serdakovsky

Translation from Russian

Appointment of Kissinger

New York, 3 December (by phone from our own corr.) The new President of the USA, Nixon, announced yesterday the appointment of Harvard University professor Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger as his aide on national security affairs.

The position of presidential aide on national security affairs is one of the key positions in the White House. Persons occupying this position usually became foreign policy "eminence grise" whose role and influence are only slightly below that of a Secretary of State or a Secretary of Defense.

Kissinger was born in Germany in May 1923. He still speaks English with a noticeable German accent. His parents emigrated to the United States and settled in New York. He graduated from the George Washington School in 1941. During the war Kissinger served in counter-intelligence. He entered Harvard after the war and got his PhD in 1954. The young Doctor became famous when his first book *Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy* was published. This book was based on two main points: the first a false premise that "Soviet atomic threat" is allegedly hovering over America, and the second a call for, essentially, an unlimited arms race.

In 1957 began the long-lasting cooperation of Kissinger with multimillionaires Rockefellers. It is interesting that during the pre-election campaign before the Republican convention in Miami Beach, Kissinger had been Rockefeller's main foreign policy adviser and publicly spoke against Nixon.

Local, usually well informed, circles describe the appointment of Kissinger as a some kind of compromise when nothing had come out from the secret Nixon-Rockefeller meeting (Rockefeller wanted the post of Secretary of State or secretary of Defense). It is difficult to say to what extent these rumors are correct, but the fact of a close relationship between Kissinger and the Rockefeller clan is beyond any doubt.

Kissinger appearing together with Nixon at the press-conference refused to answer questions of correspondents about his views on current international problems, and particularly on war in Vietnam.
