Dear Henry:

I hope this letter finds you well rested from your days
in Puerto Rico and that you and Nancy rang in the new
year in good spirit.

I was in Washington for a day with my father last week,
who would have enjoyed seeing you, but who fully under-
stood the difficulty of scheduling a meeting on the day
after your return. He had a very good and lengthy talk
with Winston Lord and asked me particularly to convey
his warm regards to you and to Nancy.

I am very happy at the thought that you have agreed to
begin the Bill Moyers series on international affairs,
which is, as you may know, largely the result of an ini-
tiative taken by Ben Read on behalf of the German Marshall
Fund. Given my involvement with the Fund, I thought I
might let you know how very much it means to me - and to
many others - that you are willing to participate in this
important way.

During the next few days I hope to be writing to you about
a number of other matters, but for the moment I remain,
with fond regards for you and Nancy,

Dear Henry:

I have had a hand in the development of the plans of the Federal Republic of Germany to honor John J. McCloy on his 80th birthday through the establishment of the McCloy Fund in the American Council on Germany, with which you are familiar. The German government has earmarked $1 million to establish this fund, which is intended to further exchanges of Germans and Americans in the years ahead. It is a very fitting gesture to honor Mr. McCloy in view of his singular contributions in improving the relations between these two countries.

As you may know, President Scheel is planning to announce the full array of programs that the Federal Republic plans for the American Bicentennial at the dinner that President Ford will be giving on the evening of June 16th.

In view of the very special distinction of John McCloy and the unique gesture planned by the German government to honor him, it has been suggested that a separate small ceremony earlier on that same day might be planned at which Presidents Ford and Scheel would pay tribute to this great American.

It is my feeling that John McCloy would be very touched by a ceremony of this kind and I want to convey to you my hope that it may be possible to arrange

Dear Henry:

Congratulations on what is truly an historic achievement within the context of the step-by-step policy. No matter how much our countrymen may carp at details of any agreement, what you have produced is a unique development in bringing the major Arab government for the first time to fully and directly accept the concept of Israel. Doubtless the path ahead will be difficult, but I commend you on your patience, skill and perseverance.

I am off today for a week in Europe and then return to begin lectures in a new course on American foreign policy and to assume my new responsibilities as a Special Assistant to Henry Rosovsky for International Affairs. This will keep me quite tied down, but I do hope to be in Washington in October and would greatly welcome the pleasure of seeing you and Nancy.

For the moment I send you both my every good wish.
