OFFICE OF THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

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

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I read a note in the International Herald Tribune that
your constant efforts on behalf of a better world
sometimes place a strain on your waistline.

No one can understand that better than myself, for I
fight that battle constantly in my travels.

The only acceptable diet I have ever found is that of
Dr. Atkins. I managed to take off 25 pounds perma-
nently and find that if I try to stay with it as much as
possible on a trip and adhere to it strictly on return
home, I quickly get my weight to manageable levels.

As a physician myself -- although I have never
practiced -- I can attest to the Atkins diet's beneficial
aspects to good health. Naturally, it is always wise
to consult your own physician before undertaking any
diet, but I wanted to send the enclosed copy of the
book along to you with my compliments.

I am among those who believe Dr. Kissinger is one
of our great natural resources, one whom it is
essential we keep in good health, and who appreciates
the enormous amount of strain your gallant and
continuing efforts must undergo.

My dear Mr. Secretary:

As you know, it has always been the hope of Mrs. Hammer and myself that our personal art collection could tour in various countries helping by cultural ties to strengthen the bonds of friendship and understanding between peoples.

Several weeks ago, the collection began a six-month exhibition in Japan, opening in Tokyo under the auspices of Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Takamatsu and then moving on to other principal cities.

We received much assistance, as always, from the Department of State, and I was gratified by the attached cable received from Ambassador James Hodgson.

It is my hope that Mrs. Kissinger and you might enjoy the bilingual catalogue as a special expression of thanks, as well as one of friendship and respect for all that you have accomplished on behalf of our country.

With every good wish, I am

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

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

My dear Mr. Secretary:

I read with great interest the full text of your speech in San Francisco and feel as if I had been there myself. As you may know, I am unfortunately recovering in a hospital in Los Angeles and was therefore unable to be present at the affair hosted by Mrs. Chandler at the dinner at which Prime Minister Rabin and you spoke.

I regret that very much, for I should have liked to tell you personally of my earnest support for your endeavors to bring a lasting peace to the world. However, as I am recovering nicely, and as my doctors seem to feel that I may be released shortly, possibly I will have the pleasure of doing so in the not-too-distant future.

In the meantime I wish you well in this and am confident that your very courageous leadership will prevail in this difficult period.

I have been following the news about reports on Nancy's condition. I hope she will have a very speedy recovery.

With warmest regards,

AH/pc
