Dear Dr. Kissinger,

Over the past five years I have valued your association with the Institute for International Policy Studies most highly and consider the Institute honored to be able to include your name among our special advisors.

Recently with the continuing slowdown in the Japanese economy, we have found to our dismay that financial reasons make it difficult for us to make our annual payments to special advisors who are not directly involved in a cooperative project.

With the utmost regret I must request that you forgo the annual payment of $20,000 unless there is a cooperative project during the year, and trust that you will understand the difficulties that we face.

We are also forced to suspend the every-two years meeting of the Advisory Board for now.

I would be deeply grateful if you would grant us the privilege of continuing to count you as a special advisor to the Institute. You are held in the very highest esteem by both myself and all our research staff, and we sincerely hope that our warm and cooperative relationship will continue.

Yours sincerely,

Yasuhiro Nakasone

"Jewish history starts with the patriarch Abraham; Japanese history begins with the Emperor Jimmu.... Both peoples trace their origins to a divinely inspired migration and both associate that migration with the concepts of a chosen people and a promised land."

—From *The Jews and the Japanese: The Successful Outsiders*

Professor Ben-Ami Shillony was born in 1937 in eastern Poland. His father, an ordained rabbi and teacher of Hebrew, and his mother fled to Russia in advance of the Nazi Holocaust, where they remained until the war ended. After two further years in a German DP (displaced persons) camp, the family was finally allowed to emigrate to Israel in 1948.

Professor Shillony developed an interest in Japan while researching the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for his master's degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Professor Shillony's many publications include *Revolt in Japan* (Princeton Press, 1973), *Politics and Culture in Wartime Japan* (Clarendon Press, 1981), and (in Japanese) *The Emperor's Economics* (Kobunsha, 1982). Since 1972, he has taught Japanese history at the Hebrew University of Israel.

In his latest book, *The Jews and the Japanese: The Successful Outsiders*, Professor Shillony describes how these two peoples, both rich in cultural heritage and historical experiences, have interacted with the Christian West, their outstanding achievements and immense tragedies, and their attempts to integrate with the West and its repeated rejection of them.

美中

This gala dinner is held biennially to acknowledge those individuals who have made notable contributions to United States-China relations.

It is especially fitting on this occasion to honor Henry Luce III and David Rockefeller, as representatives of two great American families with distinguished involvements in China over many decades. The Rockefellers have supported medical work in China since early in this century and have fostered humanitarian, research, and development activities on a broad scale ever since. The Luce family, whose contact with China began as missionaries in 1896, has played a major role for many decades through its philanthropic activity, as well as by influencing perceptions of China through Time Inc. publications. The accomplishments of these two families are testimony to the important role of the private sector in United States-China relations.

William C. Steere, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Pfizer Inc., will serve as Dinner Chairman.

Barber B. Conable, Jr., Chairman of the National Committee and former World Bank President and Member of Congress from New York, will introduce Mr. Luce, Mr. Rockefeller, and the guest speaker, Mr. Volcker. Paul A. Volcker is Chairman of James D. Wolfensohn Inc., and former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

Dear Naval War College Foundation Member:

The National Security Decision Making Department of the Naval War College has scheduled a two day seminar in Adelphi, MD on 4-5 December at the request of the Naval Reserve Readiness Command as part of their officer education program. We are very proud to be able to extend to our members in the area an invitation to attend this seminar which is modeled on the resident seminar curriculum of the Naval War College. Seats are available on a first come, first served basis. As you can see from the enclosed schedule, this is a solid two days of information and discussion at the post graduate level. The only charge is a $5.00 fee for refreshments to be collected at the door.

The NSDM Department has been leading these seminars all around the country for several years. They are current and thoughtful, well received and well attended. Should you take this opportunity to attend the Readiness Command's weekend education program, I am sure you will find it well worth your while. Please call LCDR Sandra Feeney or LCDR Al Page of the Naval Reserve Readiness Center at 202-433-3710 for reservations.

We are very pleased and proud of the caliber and enthusiasm of our members and would like to thank you once again for your support of the Foundation and through it, the Naval War College. Should you know of someone who you think would enjoy being a part of our organization, please invite that person to join you at the weekend program. If after seeing our Naval War College faculty and curriculum in action, your guest expresses an interest in the Foundation, please write or call us with his or her name and address so we may send to you or directly to that person an application for membership. With all the federal cutbacks, our membership driven support for the academic excellence of the College is more important than ever.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth G. Wylie

THE NAVAL WAR COLLEGE

NATIONAL SECURITY SYMPOSIUM

DESCRIPTION

## SESSION 1: THE CHANGING SECURITY ENVIRONMENT, CHOICES, CONTINGENCIES AND COALITIONS

This session is intended to lay the framework and highlight some of the issues to be included in Symposium discussions. This combination of lecture/discussion will first overview changes that have and are occurring in the United States security environment and identify several of the more difficult choices facing national leadership as we size military force structure for the post-Cold War period. Since a pillar of the new strategy is crisis response and regional emphasis, the nature of recent contingencies and coalition engagements (Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Desert Shield/Storm, reflagging Kuwait tankers, and humanitarian operations to help the Kurds, Somalis, and Haitians) will be reviewed in order to draw implications for future planning, especially for non-traditional operations.

## SESSION 2: EMERGENT STRATEGY AND REGIONAL ASSESSMENT (OTHER THAN RUSSIA AND HER NEIGHBORS)

An overview of regional hot spots, followed by Q&A. The focus of the emerging national military strategy is regional. Rather than assessing regions in light of the east-west struggle as during the Cold War, U.S. decision makers now consider various theaters on their own merits. This session is devoted to examining trends, challenges and opportunities in regions of importance to the U.S., with emphasis on the Middle East, Southwest Asia and the Pacific rim, and Europe. Latin America and Africa will be addressed as time permits.

## SESSION 3: THE SPECIAL CASE - RUSSIA AND HER NEIGHBORS

Following on the previous regional assessment, the lecturer will focus on the evolving strategic, economic, and military drama attending the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. The lecturer will seek to analyze the range of future alternatives for Russia, her neighbors and the dynamics of their interaction or emerging hostility. The lecturer will tie this analysis to our national security strategy, possible cooperative or competitive future outcomes, and suggestions for future U.S. force structure planning.

2

## SESSIONS 4 & 5: STRATEGY AND NAVAL FORCE ISSUES

In the face of a radically changing security environment, how should maritime forces "fit" into the total U.S. military force structure. The maritime force structure must observe fiscal realities. Yet it must maintain adequate capability to guarantee maritime superiority against other nations' forces including the residual Russian Navy. The need for adequate forward presence forces and the ability to respond to crises, the Navy originally contended, argues for a "base force" of 450 ships. Now numbers in the low three hundreds are suggested. Radical changes in deployment patterns, a shift to an emphasis on joint or multinational task forces, and the operational interpretation of *From the Sea*, all raise a range of contentious issues as does the correct mix for the reduced force structure.

## SESSION 6: STRATEGY AND MARINE CORPS ISSUES

Marine expeditionary concepts seem, in many ways, especially suited to emerging applications of force in regional crisis, peace-making, and emergency assistance. Professor Owens, who annually writes the future of the Marine Corps article in the Naval Institute, will offer his views on the opportunities, risks, and key decisions facing the Corps leadership.

## SESSION 7: PANEL DISCUSSION

This session is an open discussion arranged in a question/answer format. It is designed to allow the audience to participate so as to allow the panel members to go into greater detail on any of the topics raised in the previous sessions.

In Memoriam

The Naval War College Foundation family has lost a true leader and trusted friend with the passing of Captain Walter B. "Bud" Woodson, Jr., USN (Ret.) on 8 December, after a long illness. Bud was Executive Director of the Foundation for twenty years, overseeing its growth from 176 members to over 2300 members. During his stewardship, the Foundation and its members provided over $1.3M to the College in furtherance of this institution's fine academic and research programs.

A memorial service was held at Trinity Church in Newport. Private burial is to be at sea. Joan Woodson has asked that those desiring to remember Bud may do so by contributing to the Foundation's Walter B. Woodson Memorial Fund. The exact nature of the Fund will be determined by the Trustees' Executive Committee in consultation with Joan Woodson.

Bud Woodson, friend and scholar, officer and gentleman, is at peace with his God. We miss him.

NOV 22 1993

Dear Friend of the Philharmonic:

Travelling abroad under the auspices of the New York
Philharmonic is a wonderful experience! Witnessing the sold out
halls, standing ovations, and encores is truly unforgettable.
We invite you to travel with us and to experience it first hand.

Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic will embark in
June 1994 for the Orient performing in Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
In addition, a Patrons Tour will travel to Korea and Japan
meeting up with the Orchestra for several concerts and, as an
added feature, will travel to China for several days to visit
Xian (terra-cotta warriors), Beijing, and Shanghai. The total
trip will be about two weeks.

Our Patrons Tour is styled after last year's highly acclaimed
one to Europe which was part of the Orchestra's 150th
Anniversary Tour. This itinerary will feature major attractions
in each city, museums, post-concert receptions to meet the
musicians, and private visits. We anticipate that the Patrons
Tour, like last year's, will generate much interest and a
waiting list.

Our Co-Chairmen, Mrs. Charles V. Schaefer III (Carol) and
Mrs. Kurt Masur (Tomoko), are busily making plans and are most
eager to share them with you. If you are interested, please
call us at 875-5755, and we will happily provide information and
a brochure as soon as it is off the press.

Dear Nancy and Henry:

By the time you receive this you probably will have read in the press that the Library's Board of Trustees has elected Dr. Paul LeClerc, President of Hunter College, as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of The New York Public Library. Because you are so close to the Library, I wanted to inform you personally of our reasons for choosing Dr. LeClerc to lead the Library as it enters its second century.

Paul LeClerc is an exceptional intellect, scholar, educator, and administrator. Under his leadership Hunter College, which provides education from kindergarten through to a Ph.D., became the first-choice college of all students applying to the City University of New York, adopted the nation's most comprehensive and diverse undergraduate requirements, and moved into 12th place nationally in awarding degrees to minority students. Dr. LeClerc began the college's first endowment campaign; alumni giving increased five-fold; and more than $35 million for new capital projects was raised.

Through Dr. LeClerc's vision and initiative Hunter College launched two new research and training centers addressing New York City's most pressing social problems -- the Center on AIDS, Drugs and Community Health, and the Center on Environmental Health -- and substantially expanded its activities in the fields of family policy and aging. Dr. LeClerc also presided over the rebirth of Hunter College as a dynamic new venue for the performing arts in New York.

Dr. LeClerc is an acknowledged expert on Voltaire and the French Enlightenment. The Voltaire Foundation of Oxford University has published a number of his scholarly works, for which he has received international critical acclaim.

Paul LeClerc was born in 1941 in New Hampshire. He grew up in New York City and received his B.S. from the College of the Holy Cross

September 3, 1993

and his M.A. and Ph.D. with distinction in French from Columbia
University. Prior to coming to Hunter College, Dr. LeClerc was
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of Baruch College,
home of the nation's largest business school. Earlier, he served
successively as University Associate Dean, University Dean for
Academic Affairs, and Acting Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
of the City University of New York. An enthusiastic teacher of
French, he has rarely missed a semester in the classroom during his
tenure at Hunter.

With his rich and varied background, superb qualities of
leadership, and commitment to serving the diversity that
exemplifies New York, there is no doubt in my mind that Paul
LeClerc will immediately feel at home with the 82 branches, the
four world-class research centers, and The New York Public
Library's mission to provide democratic access to information and
learning.

Dr. LeClerc will take up his new post on January 1, 1994. I hope
you will join me in welcoming him to The New York Public Library,
and in working with him as together we meet the exciting challenges
that lie ahead.

HK: for his dissertation on Siegfried Landshut, Rainer Nicolaysen of Hamburg asks if you have any recollections of a visit to Hamburg in the '50s in the course of which you allegedly met w/ Landshut (per a former asst. of the latter's).

He goes on to inquire whether you had any regular contact w/ other political scientists during the period & whether there was any sort of exchange/support between Germans & Americans in the field.

Unfortunately have no recollection ✓

Hamburg, 8 March 1993

Dear Prof. Kissinger:

I am writing to you for assistance in the course of research
for my dissertation, "Siegfried Landshut - Expulsion, Exile
and Return of a Hamburg Political Scientist".

Siegfried Landshut (1897-1968) made a name for himself through
publication of the early writings of Karl Marx in 1932. He
was dismissed from Hamburg University in 1933 as a "non-Aryan"
on the basis of the "Law for the Restoration of Civil Servanthood".
Following 17 years of exile in Egypt, Palestine and Great
Britain, he returned to Hamburg in 1950 to assume the first
professorial chair for political science. He ranks with that
among the most important German representatives of this
discipline, the establishment of which in postwar Germany
was certainly furthered in a special way on the American side.
A former assistant of Landshut's told me that you were a guest
in Hamburg in the 1950s and met with Landshut.

It would be of great interest to me if you still remember this
visit and its occasion or whether you recall Siegfried Landshut
in any connection. Did you yourself have regular contact with
political scientists teaching in Germany in the '50s? Was
there a sort of support from American professors in the field
for their German counterparts, or an exchange in which you
took part?

Hoping my request isn't too much of a burden,

Rainer Nicolaysen

Hamburg, den 8. März 1993

Sehr geehrter Herr Professor Kissinger,

im Rahmen der Recherche für meine Dissertation "Siegfried Landshut - Vertreibung, Exil und Rückkehr eines Hamburger Politikwissenschaftlers" möchte ich Sie heute um Ihre Hilfe bitten.

Siegfried Landshut (1897-1968), der sich durch die Veröffentlichung der Frühschriften von Karl Marx im Jahre 1932 einen Namen gemacht hatte, war 1933 aufgrund des "Gesetzes zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums" als sog. "Nichtarier" von der Hamburger Universität entlassen worden. Nach siebzehnjährigem Exil in Ägypten, Palästina und Großbritannien kehrte er 1950 nach Hamburg zurück, um den ersten Lehrstuhl für die "Wissenschaft von der Politik" zu übernehmen. Er zählt damit zu den wichtigsten deutschen Vertretern dieser Disziplin, deren Etablierung im Nachkriegsdeutschland ja in besonderer Weise von amerikanischer Seite gefördert wurde. Ein ehemaliger Assistent Landshuts erzählte mir, daß Sie in den fünfziger Jahren in Hamburg zu Gast gewesen und mit Landshut zusammengetroffen seien.

Es würde mich nun außerordentlich interessieren, ob Sie sich noch an diesen Besuch und seinen Anlaß erinnern können bzw. ob Sie sich überhaupt in irgendeinem Zusammenhang an Siegfried Landshut erinnern. Haben Sie selbst in den fünfziger Jahren regelmäßig Kontakt zu in der Bundesrepublik lehrenden Politikwissenschaftlern gehabt? Gab es eine Art Unterstützung der amerikanischen Professoren des Faches für die deutschen Fachvertreter bzw. einen Austausch, bei dem Sie mitwirkten?

In der Hoffnung, Sie mit meinem Anliegen nicht allzu sehr beansprucht zu haben, verbleibe ich

mit freundlichen Grüßen

Summary of Statement on U.S. Policy toward Bosnia

by Paul H. Nitze

United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
Subcommittee on European Affairs
Chairman: Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr.

February 18, 1993

1. I was reluctant to appear before your committee not being that well informed on Yugoslavia or Bosnia.

2. But I accepted because over the years I have developed an approach to complicated issues which sometimes has been helpful. That approach is to lay out a proposal for an appropriate strategic concept and then to test the tactical correlaries of that concept for practicality and cost effectiveness.

3. Looking at Yugoslavia and Bosnia, what is the heart of the problem there and what strategic concept comes to mind to deal with it? The heart of the problem seems to be Milosevic and his two gangster associates. He is the worst kind of Marxist-Stalinist tyrant. He is not only ruining what remains of Yugoslavia, including Bosnia, but he is also ruining Serbia itself. Much of the youth of Serbia has been killed; those who remain alive are reported to have become totally brutalized. Economically, Serbia is a disaster area; it is suffering from hyper-inflation with little prospect of reversal. Milosevic is guilty of mass murder, genocide and organized mass rape of thousands of women.

4. There is an obvious and simple strategic concept pertinent to Bosnia. It is to get rid of Milosevic and his two gangster henchmen, preferably by the Serbs themselves but, if necessary, by whatever means are practicable.

5. The tactical objectives are many:

a. The most important are political, psychological. They include deepening and widening the coalition of those who are against Milosevic while isolating him and narrowing the number of his supporters and thus his political base.

b. They also include augmenting and exacerbating the

[Lc]

economic problems of Milosevic and his supporters. This
can include reinforcing the blockade of the areas
controlled by Milosevic, denying him financial support,
and disrupting his logistic support and his production
facilities by selective air attack.

c. We should also participate with our NATO and Russian allies in using other forms of military force to help implement UN resolutions concerning Serbia and Bosnia. It would be unwise to commit significant ground forces in Yugoslavia; therefore we should not do more than our fair share as participants with our NATO and Russian allies in military ground action (it is unlikely that many of them will be willing to commit significant forces).

6. The above program is unlikely to produce quick results. Persistence and perseverance are likely to be the keys to success. Eventual success, if we and our allies keep at it, should be almost certain.

7. Recommendations for U.S. action: our public statements should be low key and should stress participation with our allies. We should shy away from any claims of leadership.

8. My view is that the positions which have recently been taken by the Clinton Administration and by Senator Biden are consistent with the above.

KISSINGER AT 70

*Eine bewegte politische Karriere, ein runder Geburtstag, ein Bilderbogen.*

In the eyes of the world, Henry Kissinger is one of the century's greatest statesmen. Yet in the United States he never achieved universal public admiration.

Americans, especially the younger generation that protested against the Vietnam War, were critical of Kissinger's hardline policies, in particular the bombing of Cambodia in 1969-70. His negotiation of a cease-fire in 1973, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize, did not improve his image. Years later, satirical songwriter Tom Lehrer commented: "I stopped writing political satire when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize."

Nowhere is Kissinger more popular than in Germany, where many people continue to be proud of "their" German-American in the White House. Some seem to have forgotten that he and his Jewish family were forced to flee Germany in 1938 to escape the Nazis.

The Harvard professor reached the height of his power and influence during

the Nixon and Ford administrations. Perhaps Nixon's main achievement was re-opening diplomatic relations with communist China. As Secretary of State, Kissinger carried out Nixon's policies and travelled with the president to China as well as Moscow. Kissinger enjoyed his status to the full and liked to surround himself with celebrities, film stars and beautiful women. Though he was often criticized for egotism, most observers acknowledge that, especially during the Watergate scandal, which forced Nixon out of office, Kissinger was the main force for continuity in American foreign policy.

After retiring from the Ford cabinet in 1977, Kissinger returned to academic life, while continuing to serve as official and unofficial adviser to American presidents. He is much in demand as a speaker, and frequently writes articles for learned journals as well as news magazines.

## Ring my bell

Ist der Anruf für die Oma oder für den Enkel? Briten werden das bald schon am Klingelton erkennen.

Running to the telephone in the hope that the call is for you could soon be a thing of the past. British Telecom (BT) is planning to introduce "distinctive ringing", allowing people to program their phones with personalized peeps to show which member of the family the call is for.

This facility is just one of the improvements that will result from BT's new £1 billion investment programme. The main part of the deal is the £579 million worth of System X exchanges and associated software that BT will buy from equip-

ment supplier GPT over a three-year period. Albert Randall, GPT's customer manager, told *The Guardian* that the order was

a "significant step in the consolidation" of his company's relationship with BT.

GPT, which is owned jointly by GEC and Siemens, says its equipment will also help customers who dial heavily-used numbers such as British Rail information. If the number is engaged, the telephone will keep trying automatically until it gets through. Another new feature is that the equipment will show the caller's number when the phone rings. The person receiving the call will then know where the caller is phoning from. The advantages are obvious, unless, of course, you were planning not to tell the whole truth.

*distinctive* — unterschiedlich, unverwechselbar

*facility* — Einrichtung; Fähigkeit

*equipment* — Gerät(e), Anlage

*supplier* — Lieferant, Anbieter

*to dial* — wählen

*engaged* — besetzt

*feature* — Bestandteil, Besonderheit

*obvious* ['obvıəs] — offensichtlich

Demoralized
Britain

Journalist William Pfaff is critical of
Britain's lack of moral leadership.

"The murder of a 2-year-old child in Liverpool ... has produced horror outside as well as inside Britain. But in Britain the shock combines with a pervasive sense of social and political malaise.

The staggering finding of a public opinion poll ... by *The Daily Telegraph* is that half the British population wants to live in some other place than Britain. Asked if they would go to another country if they were free to do so, 49 percent of the respondents said yes. Asked what single thing about Britain gave them the greatest pride, 39 percent could not answer. Nothing came to mind. The largest number of those who did have an answer said Britain's history, or heritage — which would seem another powerful comment on the condition of Britain today.

...As *The Daily Telegraph* says, the poll's findings 'suggest the existence of something approaching a crisis of national morale'. When asked about the future, more than a third (36 percent) said they expected things to get still worse; only 20 percent expected improvement (the rest say it will be just the same or don't know). Twenty-nine percent expect Britain to have 'very little influence' on world affairs in the future.

This comes at the end of a decade and a
half during which Britain was supposed to
have found itself and remade itself in the
Thatcher 'revolution'. The sad fact is that
Britain has done nothing of the kind... The
failure of both Labor and Tory govern-

ments to stop this relative *decline* is undoubtedly one good reason for confidence in government to have collapsed...

There is perhaps a connection in that the
general *dilapidation* of the physical cir-
cumstances in which people live has a
much wider effect upon people's morale
and confidence.

In some respects, Britain in recent years
has given the foreign visitor the impres-
sion of an East European or Third World
country. Its transportation systems are de-
plorable and neglected, the streets dirty,
contemporary buildings and shops dreary
and ugly. This is less the result of the
country's economic problems — Britain,
after all, remains very rich by East Euro-
pean or Third World standards — than of
recent governments' ideological hostility
to public spending.

...Certainly the consequences of na-
tional demoralization go to more profound
levels than the mere public or political as-
pects of life... Clearly the social atmo-
sphere of a country with 3 million unem-
ployed, and the effects of an increasingly
degenerate (and mainly American) enter-
tainment industry that cynically exploits
violence and sadism, have an inevitable ef-
fect on the *vulnerable*. A society cannot
simply leave its young *adrift*. As a French
psychiatrist has said in connection with the
Liverpool case: 'Education is an active
phenomenon. Children do not raise them-
selves. It is not enough to give them food
and drink for them to become responsible
beings.'

There has to be leadership, moral as well
as political. There have to be people in the
positions of power and privilege of the
state who are prepared to defend and *assert*
the values, dearly won, of our civilization,
and who are prepared to struggle to make
something better of their country. But in
Britain today it is very difficult to see other
than mediocrity in public life. The British
people deserve better than their elites now
offer them."

The Washington Post

A mines
consortium

Does a United Nations treaty on land
mines contain too many exceptions?

"A land mine exploded and killed an American civilian working for the U.S. Army relief mission in Somalia in December. It was more than a regrettable but not unexpected hazard of service in a danger zone. It was a small taste of the ugly, continuing danger posed to civilians by the uncounted millions of land mines that have been planted and left behind in regional wars of the Cold War period... As these Third World conflicts more or less *subside*, the mines remain a silent menace to a return to normal village life...

A decade ago the United Nations wrote
a treaty to ban such weapons; a glaring
loophole was written in excepting civil
wars, which most Cold War conflicts were.
The United States, reluctant to outlaw
weapons that it thought had a fair military
value, signed but never ratified.

The rule should be that the countries that
manufactured, gave out or planted these
particular weapons, and perhaps politi-
cally or even financially profited from
them, have a special obligation to help the
victim countries. That can mean identi-
fying the mine fields, although many fields
are unmarked. It can mean stepping up the
pace to develop better and cheaper tech-
nology to do the ... work of cleaning mines.
It can mean providing the essential medi-
cal services. Most of all, there needs to be
sharp awareness of the particular timeless
brutality of these *devices* and of the diffi-
culty of coping with their perils once they
have been introduced into a country at war."
