To: Members of the Political Panel
American-German Conference

I enclose a translation of an article from FORUM Magazine of Vienna by Klaus Dohrn, who represents the Publisher of LIFE Magazine in Europe. He was an early Catholic refugee from Nazi Germany, and is now an American citizen and a member of the American Council on Germany. Several of his close relatives died in the anti-Nazi resistance and he himself had a narrow escape. The views he expresses in this provocative analysis of American-German misunderstandings as he sees them are, of course, his own.

Also enclosed is a reprint from ORBIS Magazine, which is an excellent survey of some of the problems which will be discussed in the political panel. The author, Dr. Birrenbach, is a leading German industrialist and an influential member of the Bundestag. He is one of the organizers of the German delegation to our conference.

In case you have time to read them, I also enclose two technical studies of the military problems confronting NATO by Professor Henry Kissinger and Robert E. Osgood, who take different views of the desirability of a European nuclear deterrent. These two reprints discuss in depth the military problems raised by Dr. Birrenbach, which are also dealt with more briefly in an excellent working paper you recently received from our German friends of the Atlantik-Bruecke.

Prof. Henry Kissinger

6 Divinity Ave.
Cambridge 38, Mass.

Dear Mrs. Norris:

Thank you so much for your telephone call of yesterday and I have immediately gone ahead with preparations for Professor Kissinger's trip.

We have now booked his trip out of New York as follows:

November 15 - Leave New York via TWA 802 at 10:00 AM, arriving in Paris at 11:00 PM.

We will provide accommodations at the Orly Airport Hotel.

On November 16, Lufthansa flight #145 will leave Paris at 9:15 AM and arrive in Cologne at 11:00 AM. It takes about a half hour to get from Cologne to Bonn, so that Professor Kissinger will be there in good time for the Chancellor's luncheon.

The connecting flight from Boston to Idlewild, according to present schedules, would have to be National's #223, leaving at 7:45 AM and arriving 8:38 AM. However, we expect a change of schedule on October 28 and will check this out at that time.

I also will be looking forward to receiving from you further instructions regarding the return of Professor Kissinger, and in the meantime remain

We also wish to assure you that everything will be done to make your trip as comfortable as possible and every detail will be attended to in the most meticulous manner.

You have indicated your agreement to leave with the major group of delegates on a Lufthansa flight November 15. We wish to inform you that this flight now will be Lufthansa #401, leaving New York (Idlewild) at 7:00 PM EST on November 15 (a change from the previous time given to you). This flight will make a special stop at Bonn, arriving there on November 16 at about 8:15 AM.

As your ticket will read from Boston and return, would you kindly indicate to us whether you wish to make direct flight connections in New York from and to Boston, or whether you wish to make a stopover in New York. It will suffice to indicate your desires on the enclosed copy of this letter.

Would you also inform us about the date of your return from Berlin, as well as any stopovers you wish to make enroute to the United States, or whether you wish to keep the ticket open dated. We will gladly work out a suitable schedule for you.

We presume that you are in possession of a valid passport and vaccination certificate against smallpox which should not be older than three years and must be certified by the local Health Department.

Dear Miss Lipis:

I am enclosing a revised biographical statement; I would appreciate your changing your records accordingly.

As for travel plans, I would really much prefer to fly during the day on Thursday, or perhaps even earlier in the week. I am absolutely useless after travelling all night, since I cannot sleep on the plane. Would you permit me to let you know in another week or so what my travel plans are and then, of course, you are free to make reservations.

With kind regards.
