Dear Henry:

By now I received some of the letters you wrote to me
towards the end of September. One example is a letter
telling me that I should give a speech to the Faculty
Seminar. Therefore I was surprised that I should give
such a speech, and you were surprised that I was sur-
prised.

I am including two documents pertaining to the diligence
recoursefulness, inventiveness and tireless efforts of
US post office and the Harvard postal service. Will there
be more mail for me floating in the Boston area?

The crisis in Germany came about half a year earlier than
some of the detractors of Erhard had envisaged. It was a
very neat tactical decision of Gerstenmaier to then side-
step a test of strength in the CDU fraction. One (in my
mind good) consequence of this premature crisis: It is
likely that the government emerging will be less secure
against criticism than would otherwise have been the
case.

There is some over-reaction to the NPD in government cir-
cles here. I don't re-call whether I discussed our earlier
research on that party while I was in Cambridge. So far,
they are just effectively mobilising an already existent
potential. Over-reaction, a comparatively mild unemploy-
ment of about 1 to 1,5 per cent (with foreign workers
staying on), and "Große Koalition", and a violent criti-
cism from abroad could change the chances for this party
in the longer run. It is not a major problem yet.

Let me say again how much I am enjoyed teaching at the
Center and meeting so many fascinating colleagues and
students.

Dear Dr. Kissinger :

By now you will have heard that all my travel plans within the US were badly upset by US Public Health. Upon returning from India, I was put in quarantine in Honolulu, and this played havoc with all my travel plans.

I guess after the recent uproar over CIA financing the upcoming international seminar may be in peril. However, I do want Dr. Klingemann to go to the USA. Are there any Center scholarships ? As you may remember, Dr. Klingemann has done work both on the economic implications of defense spending, and on determinants of voting behaviour. Perhaps you could suggest some course.

Unfortunately, I also did not get a chance to discuss with you the future of our volume on Germany. As you know, various German publishing firms are most interested in bringing out such a book, and this won't require an extensive preface by you. Should you feel bound not to bring out the whole book in German before the English original is brought out by Harvard University Press, would I have the freedom to publish my article anyway - and only in German, or also in English ?

I am afraid the predictions about an attempts of some German leaders to come to terms with the USSR at the expense of the ties to America are coming true quicker than I had expected. Perhaps this is all to the good,

Dear Prof. Dr. Scheuch:

Thank you for your letter of April 24.
I have been out of town almost constantly since
then and therefore have not been able to answer
it before now.

As for Dr. Klingemann, it is now too
late for any program because decisions tend to be
made in the spring. Could you write me a little
more about him?

As for German publishers, I would be
grateful for any specific suggestion.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Dr. Klingemann is a man in his early thirties, who has a position equivalent to that of an instructor in one of our institutes (Zentralarchiv für empirische Sozialforschung). His background is a combination of economics and political science, with sociology later added on. You have known about him, I guess, in connection with some research work he did on defence-spending in Germany. Since several years now he has worked on voting behavior, with a special emphasis on relating contextual variables (such as economic structure, political tradition, or party organization) to voting in specific districts. Dr. Klingemann has also participated in some comparative work on elites.

It is too early as yet to know whether Dr. Klingemann will really make a career as a professor. He is a competent empirical researcher. And he does have a good understanding for the relation between research findings and policy decisions. His intelligence is good, but his effectiveness is especially due to his persistence. I guess Dr. Karl Kaiser will be able to give a fuller description.

I would be pleased if eventually Dr. Klingemann would have the experience of doing a bit of work in the United States. If anybody around Boston needs to have some research done involving conditions in Germany, he would make a good choice.

Best greetings
yours,

Dear Professor Kissinger,

In the course of a recent discussion with Professor Dahrendorf on his new book "Gesellschaft und Demokratie in Deutschland" ("Society and Democracy in Germany") one of the participants pointed out that a similar subject area had just been dealt with by Professor Scheuch, though with a highly different thesis.

Having telephoned Professor Scheuch he informed me that the publication in question was his contribution to "Continuity and Change in German Society". He told me, however, that there was not a single copy of the manuscript left. He therefore advised me to address you directly and ask you for a copy of the manuscript.

I should be very grateful to you if you would be good enough to provide for the preparation and mailing of such a copy. On the basis of the discussion which arose from Professor Dahrendorf's book it is especially interesting to compare other theses on the same subject. Certainly Professor Scheuch gave me a short oral introduction to his theses, but this has only increased my curiosity to come to know the paper itself.

Thanking you in advance for your trouble, I remain,

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Dr. Erwin Kurt Scheuch who will conduct a lecture tour in the United States from October 4 to 18, 1968, has expressed the desire to have Harvard University included in his itinerary. As he knows you personally, he has asked me to contact you and find out whether you could arrange for a lecture or discussion before faculty members and students on Tuesday, October 15, and Wednesday, October 16.

Dr. Scheuch mentioned that he is also acquainted with Dr. Neustadt, Dr. Riessman and Dr. Lipshitz and perhaps you would be good enough to advise these three gentlemen of his visit in order to make some joint arrangement.

Since Dr. Scheuch will be travelling under the auspices of the German Federal Government, no honorarium or other expenses will be involved for your department. A photograph and biography of Dr. Scheuch, including his topics, are enclosed herewith.

I would be most grateful if you could let me know at your earliest convenience whether you are interested in having Dr. Scheuch speak at your campus on October 15th and 16th.

CURRICULUM VITAE

Prof. Dr. Erwin Kurt Scheuch

At 40, Dr. Erwin Kurt Scheuch is one of the leading social scientists in Germany. He is Director of the Institute of Internationally Comparative Social Research of the University of Cologne, the city where he was born on June 9, 1928.

Dr. Scheuch spent his university years in Cologne (1949/50), at the University of Connecticut (1950/51) and as a Rockefeller Research Fellow at Columbia University, the University of Michigan and the University of California at Berkeley. He received his Doctorate at the University of Cologne in 1961 and, after a year of teaching there, he lectured on social psychology at Harvard and then returned to Cologne as Professor of Sociology.

Dr. Scheuch has made some outstanding contributions in the fields of cross-cultural psychology and public opinion research. His research interests range from problems of re-acculturation of migrants in Turkey and Greece to the decision-making elites in industrialized countries, from right-wing sentiments and political behavior in the United States and Germany to social stratification systems in West and East European countries. He has published a number of papers in the United States, England and Germany on related cross-cultural subjects.

Dr. Scheuch is married to the former Joyce-Ann Dickinson of Stamford, Connecticut. They have two sons.

During his forthcoming lecture tour in the United States Dr. Scheuch will speak on the following topics:

1) "Character and consequences of the success of right-wing political movements in Germany today" and

2) "Student Revolt in Germany".

In addition he will be available for discussions and background information.
