TOMORROW'S WORLD

TOMORROW'S WORLD is a program which is going to involve the youth of the world and their attitude to Peace.

Knowing that the one resource of the world that is unlimited, is knowledge - and that it is in the sharing of this knowledge wherein lies the greatest hope for a stable future is the reason TOMORROW'S WORLD has been created. Also aware that the two greatest threats to the stability of mankind are a shortage of food and an increase in population. TOMORROW'S WORLD, is a non-profit organization. Its objective is: To bring to the United States, from those developing countries most seriously threatened by these two potential disasters, outstanding students who have committed themselves to teaching careers in agriculture, nutrition and related population studies, and expose them to a final year of learning at some of our most prestigious educational institutions. For example, the Carolina Population Center at Chapel Hill, the Institute of Nutrition at the School of Medicine of Columbia University and the Agricultural College of the University of Florida.

Each student receiving educational assistance under the TOMORROW'S WORLD Program would be recommended by his own country's Government, so that his dedication, commitment and ability would be unquestioned. Following their year of study in the United States, they would be guaranteed a teaching position on their return to their homeland.

TOMORROW'S WORLD is also establishing an emergency fund which will be used for crises involving young people anywhere in the World.

It is the conviction of the organizers of TOMORROW'S WORLD that its concept will turn on the young all over the World. They will not only support it but will participate in it.

Dear Henry:

Dr. Howard A. Rusk, President of the World Rehabilitation Fund, will be honored for his outstanding contributions to mankind on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the Fund at a gala dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, on Tuesday, April 27, 1976.

I am delighted to accept the Chairmanship of this event, and to tell you that DeWitt Wallace will serve as Honorary Chairman. We join together in extending to you our invitation to lend your name to this tribute as Honorary Member of the Dinner Committee.

As you know, Dr. Rusk has pioneered Rehabilitation Medicine and has worked for half a century to make a reality his vision to ease the difficulties of the handicapped. Twenty years ago he conceived and launched the World Rehabilitation Fund, a program to sponsor projects around the world to help disabled people take their rightful place in society, encourage acceptance of them and create understanding of their problems. Dr. Rusk introduced modern rehabilitation medicine to Europe, Asia, Africa and South America -- altogether more than a hundred nations.

Because of him and others like you who share his dream, millions of handicapped now have hope.

We will be honored to have you join us in paying tribute to this great man on this happy and memorable occasion on April 27.

The attached card can be used to facilitate your reply.

THE AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS

May 26, 1975

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
Secretary of the State of
The United States of America
Washington, D.C.

My Dear Mr Secretary:

Recently in Newsweek Magazine, we read a lengthy article
of your being stationed in Bensheim, Germany.

I too, was veteran of the same war. It was my division, the 63rd
Infantry Division that captured Bensheim and Heidleberg.
The article was of extreme interest to my wife, her family
and myself. I joined the Red Cross in 1946 and met my wife in
Bensheim. She is the daughter of Dr Carl F. Flamm, Augenartz.
Dr Flamm, of Bensheim, had the pleasure of treating you.
You were his first patient after the Americans captured Bensheim.
My wife and her family always informed me of a Mr Henry.
In view of the family's circumstances, Dr Flamm refused to accept
any money for his services. The very next day, you sent my
wife a bouquet of roses and Dr Flamm a box of cigars. At that
time, the family reside on Ernst Ludwig Strasse, facing the
then headquarters of the Seventh Army under General Patch.
My division was a part of Seventh Army.

I trust that you recall the incident. Everyone spoke and
still speak highly of Dr Kissinger. The Flamm's were very proud
that they were able to be of assistance to you. My father in law
died five years ago without knowing who Mr Henry was, but we who
remain are delighted to know that you are the famous Mr Henry.
I was an employee of The American Red Cross for nearly 30 years. My last
assignment for the organization was in Frankfurt. We have since retired
in Bensheim, not far from my wife's previous home.

We are all proud of your achievements and trust that they will
continue in a successful vein, for your sake, for our beloved
America and for the world in general.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

I am an artist doing portraits of contemporary people that I consider important.

I am working on a series of mother and child paintings, however not in the usual infant or youngster sense.

I would like very much to do one of you and your mother.

If you have a photo, in color, of the two of you taken within your adult years, I would appreciate it. It should be in focus and one that hasn't had public exposure.

Thank you for your cooperation and I am hoping to hear from you.
