Baltimore, am 9.11.1976

Sehr geehrter Herr Minister!

Seit Jahren bewundere ich Ihre einzigartige Faehigkeit, die im Grunde doch unvernuenftige Welt auf Intelligenz und Vernunft horchen zu lassen. Ich bin zutiefst ueberzeugt, dass die Gegenwart in Ihnen den bedeutendsten Diplomaten und auch Menschen seit langem besitzt.

Ich bin Oesterreicher, bin Lyriker und Schriftsteller, und lebe zur Zeit, aus Gruenden wie Neugierde, in den USA, wo ich an der oben genannten Universitaet eine Dozentur fuer Deutsch innehabe. Amerika ist ja wirklich in allem eine ueberwaeltigende Erfahrung, die fuer den Europaer, der Europaeer bleiben will, alles Ueberkommene in Frage stellt. Darin liegt der Wert eines solchen Aufenthaltes.

Aber gerade in dieser Ueberwaeltigung, die doch ihrem Wesen nach kalt ist, sucht man nach Waerme, sich anzuhalten, und deshalb freue ich mich jedesmal, wenn ich, bei Konzerten im JFK Center, sei es bei Zubin Mehta, sei es bei Karajan, Sie, Herr Minister, erblicken darf.

Ihre Aufgabe ist ja nicht nur die Politik, sondern ist vor allem die Einsicht in die Gruende, die unsere Welt zu dem machen, was sie ist. Deshalb glaube ich, dass Ihnen das beiliegende Buch, mein juengster Roman (ich bin 28), Freude machen koennte. Die philosophische Arbeit behandelt EUROPA. behandelt Europa von Blickpunkten her, die wahrscheinlich dem Diplomaten von heute gar nicht so ueberfluessig sein duerften. Aber trotzdem ist "Pest in Siena" in erster Linie ein Roman, ein Kunstwerk.

Vielleicht finden Sie Zeit zur Lektuere. Vielleicht werden wir einander einmal begegnen: was fuer ein herrliches Gespraech das schenken koennte, wenn nur ein Bruchteil an Ruhe zur Seite sein wird.

Fuer Ihre Aufgaben wuensche ich Ihnen viel Erfolg und viel Segen.

Dankbar Ihr

Dear Henry:

I am sorry we did not have a chance to chat at the very warm
White House Rose Garden ceremony in honor of Jack McCloy.

I would have taken that opportunity personally to ask you and Nancy to spend some time at the Aspen Institute this summer. We would, of course, greatly enjoy your presence. You both might welcome some time for some vacation and for reflection, as well as an opportunity to chat informally with many of your friends and colleagues from here and abroad who will be with us.

I know the pressures of your schedule, but I do hope you keep it in mind. We could always set up something, even at the last minute. Obviously, you would both be guests of the Institute.

I hope that you and Jack McCloy got together regarding the
Aspen Institute's proposals regarding the City of Jerusalem.

Please give me a call if you would like to pursue our invitation,
and I can tell you what would be going on and what arrangements we
could make.

Warmest personal wishes,

This book was stimulated by a project for the Department of State, initiated I believe, by Mr. Brumberg (see page IX).

I need hardly point out the importance of this book by one of the world's great scholars of the subject.

I hope that you enjoy the book. Would you be so kind as to tell me how to get this book on a "must reading list" for appropriate officials within the Department of State?

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I am pleased to send you this copy of the book National Security and Detente.

This publication is an offshoot of the College's 1975 Security Issues Symposium, for which the various essays were written. The publisher requested copies of the Symposium papers and, following clearance, they were released to him.

The US Army War College and its Strategic Studies Institute are dedicated to serious and scholarly military writing as a part of the College's role as a center of contemporary military scholarship. With the publication of National Security and Detente, as was the case with last year's book, New Dynamics in National Strategy: The Paradox of Power, some of this scholarship has now been made available to the American public.

## Collective Crisis ...

These are days in which seemingly melodramatic forebodings for the world assume the harsh reality of official statistics, of sober projections by reasonable and soft-spoken professionals not given to excesses of doom-saying. Thus, a task force of economists from North America, Western Europe and Japan have concluded that in the coming months of summer, "the lives and fortunes of large numbers of human beings hang upon the outcome of decisions taken by a small handful of national leaders."

Their reference, in the first report from the privately organized Trilateral Commission, is to an international economic "explosion" triggered by: a fourfold increase in oil prices; higher costs and shortages of food and fertilizer, and acute inflation and danger of recession in the industrialized world—all coinciding now at a moment when national leadership of the non-Communist world is in a state of visible disarray.

Drawing on the estimates of the World Bank and other global financial institutions, these experts propose urgent cooperative efforts between the industrial world and the oil-producing countries to provide a minimum of $3-billion in concessional aid for some thirty countries poor in resources and with populations totaling nearly one billion people, which otherwise face economic disaster—not within the decade, but within the next two years.

These countries are confronted with import bills of $15 billion in excess of their previous projections because of higher costs of oil, food and fertilizer. Just this excess is double the total amount of development assistance they now receive from all the industrial nations. With each passing month, this problem will only grow more acute, as the oil bills come in and the balances of payments of many rich and poor countries alike grow more lopsided.

Two of the Trilateral Commission's specific recommendations deserve special consideration. First is for the immediate opening of high-level negotiations between the oil-producing countries and the governments of Europe, North America and Japan as a group to devise the ways in which the concessional aid can be divided. The commission experts suggest an equal division — $1.5 billion from each group—through various financial means and postponement of debt repayments.

More tentatively, but with far more profound implications, the Trilateral task force suggests that the Soviet Union be encouraged to participate in this emergency aid program. International financial planners have grown accustomed to leaving the Soviet Union out of their calculations and programs, on the basis of clear historical and ideological experience. But the Russians have become increasingly integrated in fact, if not institutionally, in the world trading economy, and have actually received considerable financial benefit from the increase in raw material prices.

President Nixon's meeting with the Soviet leaders late this month would be an ideal occasion to press for agreements by which Moscow would participate with the other industrial capitals in ad hoc arrangements to ease the immediate burdens of the developing nations.

## ...Collective Interest

Only gradually is the reality sinking in that burden-sharing between rich and poor nations is not merely a moral imperative or humanitarian preoccupation of idle dreamers; it is the only means of insuring survival of the world economic order.

Much has been made of the potential for confrontation between oil producers and oil consumers, which then can be extended to all producers of raw materials against their industrial customers. Among other academic and government study groups in several countries, the Trilateral Commission is grappling with finding the means for implementing a new economic structure adequately to reflect the interests of both rich nations and poor.

The most useful concept so far is the bargain that can be struck to provide long-term and secure access to what each nation needs. Access to supplies, which the industrial nations need, is traded for access to what the producers of raw materials need: access to markets at stable and remunerative prices, access to technology and investment capital, access to a greater share of decision-making in international economic institutions.

However they are posed, the problems that confront a "small handful of national leaders," both for the short and long term, demand a new perspective, a strength and vision far beyond what today's men of power have yet been able to summon in their definitions of national interest.

As I'm sure you are aware, this Dinner is sponsored jointly by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Republican National Committee.

A formal invitation will follow in January. Two tickets will be set aside for your use.

We are hoping that every member of the Cabinet will participate in this event. This coming year, more than ever, your active involvement in the fund raising activities of the Party will be important to us.

I deeply appreciate your interest in this matter.

to take the time from his extremely busy schedule to
sign the other two. I hope you and Sandy will understand
that the number of requests he receives makes it impossible
for him to comply with them all. However, please tell
Sandy that the Secretary very much enjoyed watching the

Further to my secretary's telephone conversations

herewith four photographs of the above-noted Washington D.C.
International Championship Race showing, inter alia, Dr.
Kissinger presenting a trophy to my client, Sandy Hawley
who is presently riding at Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia

Sandy was, of course, very pleased to have had
the opportunity of meeting Dr. Kissinger and I am sure that
Dr. Kissinger's presence was a very significant factor in
what Sandy considered to be "the high point of his entire
career as a jockey".

I am very appreciative of Dr. Kissinger's courtesy
and co-operation in agreeing to personally autograph both
sets of the enclosed photographs. In this regard, you can
be assured that the photographs will not be used for any
commercial purposes and each of the sets will be given to
Sandy's parents as well as to Sandy and his wife, respect-

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Kissinger:

I trust that this letter finds the two of you enjoying the best of health. My purpose in writing is two-fold. First, I want to commend you, Dr. Kissinger, on the outstanding job you have done and are doing for us. I trust you and feel that you are the most capable person I know to fulfill the tasks to which you are assigned. You have made numerous sacrifices in order to do your job and I just want to thank you. It disturbs me a great deal when I hear and read these derogatory remarks about you and the job you are doing. These stupid people are very narrow minded and I hope you don't allow it to worry you. You are by far the most intelligent person I've ever known. Although I've never had the pleasure of meeting you or seeing you in person, I feel as safe and secure as can be when you are involved in the many negotiations for I know you have my interest at heart and you will make decisions that are for the betterment of America and mankind. Thank you very much. Second, as a result of my deep and sincere admiration and respect for both you and your lovely wife, Mrs. Kissinger, I would like to request the autograph of each of you on the cover of the enclosed magazine. I have enclosed a stamped, self-addressed envelope for your convenience. These two covers will then become my most coveted possession. I have made this request before and was told by members of your staff that perhaps later on you would have time to sign personal items. I know how busy you must be and how very valuable your precious time is. However, it would give me much happiness and gratification to know that you took time out of your busy schedule to autograph these covers for me.

Thank you so much for your time. May you experience success and happiness always and may God's richest blessings be bestowed on you both.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

The five year period of my appointment in
the Office of Protocol, Department of State,
will terminate on April 1, 1974.

Although I have greatly enjoyed this assign-
ment and the association it has brought with
Department and Diplomatic personnel, I feel that
I must adhere to my original plan to limit this
term of federal service to this period.

It is my intention therefore to submit my
application for retirement on that date. May I
take this opportunity to wish you and my
colleagues in the Department every success in the
tedious task of securing for the United States
and the world, a period of peace and prosperity.

I wanted to tell you how pleased I was to

The list was a short one, and your advancement
is therefore doubly significant.

I said last June that we intend to continue
putting our ablest officers where their talents
can best be used without regard to age or rank.
Thus, it is gratifying to see that outstanding
performance is rewarded by promotion as well as
by assignment to responsible positions.

My warmest congratulations to you and my best
wishes for the future.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I imagine you saw or heard about my column
last Friday in the Globe regarding a seminar
at the Center for International Affairs.

Clearly I goofed in the matter of the ground-

inadvertance, not design. I'm very upset
about the unfortunate timing of the thing
also, with the column appearing on the day
of your arrival in Boston for your wife's
surgery. I had no idea of this unhappy event
at the time of writing. My personal apologies
on this score.

I'm afraid all this may sound awfully sloppy
