Dear Professor Kissinger,

Thank you most warmly for your kind letter of
March 11th and for sending me your highly interesting study
"The White Revolutionary: Reflections on Bismarck". At this
writing I have already read more than half of it and just
want to tell you that it is an extremely interesting work.
I have benefited greatly from your "Reflections".

It is really most kind of Dr. Luns amidst all the
activities and the worries he has to have thought of communi-
cating my wish to you. I had a most interesting talk with him
a short while ago at The Hague.

Wishing you everything best in your so important
work, with warmest regards

Mr. Kissinger:

Dr. Luns, the Dutch Foreign Secretary, called today - said he had lunch with Arch Duke Otto in Holland. Dr. Luns said he mentioned your very good article entitled "The White Revolutionary - Reflections on Bismarck" to the Arch Duke and he would like to have a copy. (Julie is taking care of this)

Dr. Luns will call you tomorrow - also wanted you to know that he is taking off for the Dutch West Indies in the very near future.

Professor A Kissinger,
The White House,

AC. USA.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

As publishers in Singapore it is our concern to publish books of two kinds: those which are specially of interest to the Asia-Pacific region and those about the region which might find a wider world market. We believe that one of the natural centres for this kind of publishing is in Singapore.

We are now preparing a series of relatively brief, readable books which we call "The Asia Pacific World Library" and which will be addressed to thoughtful - but insofar as the region is concerned, unspecialised - people all over the world who seek to know something more about an area whose coming importance cannot be over estimated but about which comparatively little has yet been written at the level we contemplate, and at which the real need exists. We believe that the series will find not only a general market, but also steadily developing one in universities and immediately pre-university secondary school classes.

While each book would be published in Singapore, we would always seek, wherever possible, to arrange for simultaneous publication in London and New York and to arrange translations wherever appropriate. We have thought in terms of production to Singapore where printing of a world standard is available at a price which compares more than favourably with prices almost anywhere else. And we should always aim to produce both a hardcover and paperback edition simultaneously, the greater number being in paperback, the hardcover being principally for sale to libraries.

As to length, it is necessary that we should remain
flexible but the number of words might, I think, vary
between 35,000 and 75,000 making up into 128 to a
maximum of 256 pages.

We shall try to be as liberal as possible in the matter
of illustrations, using colour wherever desirable.

We shall aim at a series of uniform format (although
there may be exceptions) selling at something like US$2.50
in paperback and US$5.00 in hardback.

0 - 5,000 copies; 10% of Singapore published price
5,000 -10,000 copies; 12½% of Singapore published price
above 10,000 copies; 15% of Singapore published price

Advance S$1,000 on acceptance of manuscript
S$1,000 on publication.

I greatly hope that you will be able to consider the
possibility of your being able to accept our invitation
to contribute to this series which has such interesting
possibilities. If so, and you will let me know, we could
correspond on the particular title you feel best able to
contribute.

I very much look forward to hearing from you

PS. The Asia Pacific Press is a development of the Donald Moore Press and a catalogue, which will give you more information about it, has been sent to you under separate cover, by surface mail. We are also working on parallel series of monographs, portfolios and reading which will all be contained within the Asia Pacific World Programme. If you are unable to contemplate contributing a book-length work, perhaps one of the other projects the monograph, for example would be of interest to you. We are interested in your already published work which we might issue in monograph form. I hope we can correspond about this.

We have now been in existence for six months, and this is our second
list. In it, we believe, our nature becomes clearer: we are concerned
to publish books for and about the Asia Pacific area — with a growing
emphasis upon "about" rather than "for" — and we are concerned to
publish books for industry and governments. We believe that even
though this is the age of the computer, television, and the teaching
machine, the most noticeable effect of these devices upon books is to
increase the demand for them — and nowhere can this be more true
than in Asia, our stamping ground. We hope to be able to produce
some of the reading material which will be necessary, if this growing
demand is to be satisfied.

We are working towards an eventual production of some fifty books
a year, a target which cannot be reached for a year or two yet — but
which will be reached.

We hope that both customers and authors will write to us, the
former to order what we can supply, the latter with suggestions as
to what we can jointly create in the future. We are never too busy to
answer letters from those who together make our work possible.

ART OF INDONESIAN COOKING — The A B C's: Agnes de K. Brackman

For the first time in English, an authentic book on one of the world's most exciting
forms of cookery — a curious blend of Malay, Chinese and Indian culinary styles. This
is more than a mere collection of recipes. It contains a great deal of lore about the
cooking and customs in the emerald islands. It also focuses on dishes ideally suited
for Western-type buffet parties and the American outdoor grill. An ideal gift, not only
for those interested in the culinary arts, but for anyone interested in a sidelight on the
way of life and culture of the Malay world.

THE COMMUNIST COLLAPSE IN INDONESIA: Arnold C. Brackman

This is the first analysis-in-depth of the collapse of the Indonesian Communist movement in 1965 within the context of world affairs. The murder of the Indonesian general staff and the mass murders that followed are sculptured in fascinating detail against the background of the mephitic, torchlight era of the Sukarno regime at that time.

The Communist-oriented putsch developed on the night of September 30, 1965, when
the Indonesian Communist Party — the oldest in Asia — had attained the zenith of its power

2

and influence as the biggest Communist movement in the world after China and Russia.

The author explores the putsch's many aspects — its impact on Vietnam and Soviet relations, on the cultural revolution in China, and on the course of events in East Asia and the Pacific.

Arnold C. Brackman, formerly a foreign correspondent, specializes in Asian affairs. He lived in Japan and Southeast Asia between 1945 and 1955 and has made periodic visits since then, the last in 1968, gathering material for the present book.

GURKHA - A Living Legend: D.R. Adshead, Commentary by John Cross

A labour of love, seeking to explain to those who are not part of it, why service in the Brigade of Gurkhas is not only a progression, but a vocation; why the bonds which unite them, British and Gurkha alike, transcend even the strong bonds which unite a regiment. Magnificent photographs, with the help of a vivid commentary, achieve this aim. Foreword by the Major General commanding the Brigade of Gurkhas.

K.S. Latourette is an authority on China and is the author of more than thirty books, including "The History of Early Relations between the United States and China, 1784-1844", and "The Chinese: Their History and Culture".

JUNGLE ALLIANCE - Japan and the Indian National Army: Joyce Lebra

During World War II, an alliance was formed along the borders of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere in Southeast Asia, between Japan and the Indian Revolutionary Army. Co-operation was engendered by the existence of a common enemy, Britain. This study concerns the men on both sides who conceived and cemented the alliance, the ideas that motivated their actions, and the events of the co-operation. It reveals also the inadequacy of the image, long unchallenged, of the war as a Japanese version of the Western capitalist pattern of imperialism.

Professor Joyce Lebra of the University of Colorado, Department of History, spent four years of research on the subject and has had access to many sources which have not previously been used.

A JUNGLE HANDBOOK: John Tucker

It is appropriate that a comprehensive handbook on survival in the jungle should come from Malaya, a country whose jungle is unsurpassed. The chapters deal successively with the preparation for a jungle expedition, the perils of the jungle - animals, terrain and so on, finding the way, camping, and jungle craft. There are additional chapters on Malaya's jungle people and valuable procedures to be followed in the event of injury, and getting lost.

John Tucker has climbed the European Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes and has spent more than ten years travelling in Malayan forests. He has explored in South America and spent some time in the headwaters of the Amazon near the Ucuyalli River. He was a member of the 1953 Everest expedition reserve team and was a member of the Kanchenjunga, Andean and Vilcabamba Expeditions in 1954, 1955 and 1956 respectively.

Mr Tucker is currently headmaster of the Outward Bound School in Hong Kong.

MAHAYANA BUDDHISM IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: John Blofeld

The purpose of this book is to describe Mahayana Buddhism as practised by the vast Chinese communities spread throughout Southeast Asia. It has been written largely for two kinds of audience - visitors to the region who are eager to understand an important aspect of the culture of the overseas Chinese; and local inhabitants who are interested in the state of Mahayana Buddhism not only in their own community but in Chinese communities in general. There is some brief discussion of Buddhist doctrine, but the main concern is with the actual practice of Buddhism by monks, nuns and layfolk; the temples and meditation halls which form their places of worship; the work of the Chinese Buddhist benevolent associations and schools; the organization of temples and associations; and with the life lived by various categories of Buddhists. All aspects from the popular level to the scholarly and spiritual levels are touched upon.

John Blofeld, is the leading English authority on Chinese Buddhism. His works include: "The Jewel in the Lotus" (an outline of Chinese Buddhism); two translations from T'ang Dynasty Buddhist texts - "The Zen Doctrine of Hui Hai", and "The Zen Doctrine of Huang Po"; and a translation of the most ancient book in the world, the Chinese "Book

of Change". His career includes many years of university teaching in China and Thailand.
He now works for the United Nations.

### THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMY—Problems and Prospects: V. Kanapathy

This book, which covers the whole spectrum of the Malaysian economy, is essentially a
collection of papers previously published in the Economic Review of the United Malayan
Banking Corporation, now integrated into a coherent whole. It has been written with a
wide audience in mind and provides a penetrating study of the subject. All those inte-
rested in the development of underdeveloped countries, with particular reference to
Malaysia, should find this book an invaluable source of information. The author, who
was educated in Malaysia and abroad, and who is now the Economic Adviser to the
United Malayan Banking Corporation, has drawn from his rich practical experience
and academic training to prescribe a strategy for development.

### PENANG: Tinsley

Tinsley fell in love with the Malaysian island of Penang in the Malacca Straits, the beau-
tiful "Pearl of the Orient". His book, "Penang", is an attempt to write a love story with
a camera. The book's hundred over black-and-white and twenty colour photographs cap-
ture the unhurried, exotic air of this lush, green island and its people of many cultures.
The author-photographer describes his name as a "nom de lens". The book will be an
exquisite souvenir album for those who know and love Penang.

### PIRACY AND POLITICS IN THE MALAY WORLD: Nicholas Tarling

In many previous accounts of the subject, piracy was seen simply as an impediment to
the expanding commerce of the British settlements in the Straits of Malacca. Professor
Tarling questions here the applicability of the term "piracy", as generally understood
in a European context, to the ostensibly comparable phenomena in the Malay world. The
author sees the story of the suppression of piracy not as a melodrama for one-sided
sympathy, but as a tragedy in which both sides are caught up in the processes of things
and are neither completely right nor wrong.

### POPULATION AND SETTLEMENT IN SARAWAK: Lee Yong Leng

This study of Sarawak describes both the population and settlement features of an un-
derdeveloped country. The author, Senior Lecturer in Geography at the University of
Singapore, and author of "North Borneo: A Study in Settlement Geography" (1965), has
aimed, in the first place, to draw the attention of the professional geographer to some
of the peculiar problems and features of population and settlement in an equatorial
environment. His second aim has been to provide a comprehensive survey of Sarawak,
which is suitable to serve as a text for students of geography as well as a source of
information for the general reader. This book will be invaluable to those who require
reliable information about this little-known country.

THAILAND - The Modern Kingdom: Frank and Ann Darling

In this work the authors trace the emergence of Thailand from southern China, through the Sukhothai and Ayudhya eras, to the modern state centred on Bangkok. Upon this historical basis the authors examine in turn the contemporary situation in Thailand with regard to social life, both rural and urban, religion and customs, education, the arts, the economy, government and foreign relations. The authors conclude their readable account with a look into the future both in terms of internal development and external relations. "Thailand - The Modern Kingdom" is an admirable introduction to one of the most interesting of Asian countries.

Frank C. Darling is Chairman of the Department of Political Science at Depauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. He is the author of "Thailand and the United States".

WHERE MONSOONS MEET: Donald Moore

This anthology of Malayan literature introduces readers to books written about Malaya during the last century, and describes how, in this time, Malaya has grown from an almost entirely unexplored jungle land to the modern state it is today. The reader is led from the primeval swamps and jungles, to the modern cities of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. The incomparable beauty of Penang, the impenetrability of the Malayan jungle, the gracious days of the nineteenth-century Malaya, the advent of tin and rubber, and the bustling, modern Malaya, are all described. In this book, Donald Moore, a successful author and publisher, who has lived for more than twenty years in Singapore, presents a realistically human, living Malaya.

MEMORANDUM FOR DR. KISSINGER

FROM: John H. Holdridge
SUBJECT: Letter From Congressman Nick Galifianakis

You have received a letter from Congressman Galifianakis who questions whether our current policy on Vietnam is in accordance with the policies you proposed in your book *The Necessity for Choice*. (Tab B.) He wishes to meet with you to reconcile these differences and to discuss the subject.

I believe it would be desirable for you to meet with Congressman Galifianakis to discuss these issues if you have the time.

RECOMMENDATION:

That you sign the attached letter to Congressman Galifianakis.

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger
Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs
The White House Office
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20500

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am writing to ask for a meeting with you concerning the expansion of the Vietnamese war into Cambodia, the status of the Vietnamization program, and the prospects for our negotiations in Paris.

Having recently re-read portions of *The Necessity for Choice*, I am left with certain questions about the nature of current American policy in Southeast Asia. In significant part, that policy seems to conflict with the ideas you expressed in your book.

I find it difficult, for example, to reconcile the action of the President in committing American troops to Cambodia with the sentiment of the following passage from page 61:

"For example, any limited war must have some sanctuary areas-- if only because a global war cannot be considered limited. There is no particular reason for establishing the boundaries of these sanctuaries in any particular place. In practice, however, the danger of misunderstanding is least if the sanctuary follows national boundaries. This is not because other demarcation lines are technically unfeasible. It is rather that it will prove more difficult to agree on a line chosen entirely at random. The more 'unfamiliar' the limitations, the more difficult it will be to make them stick.

I am anxious to know whether you still subscribe to that position, and if not, what has occurred to change your mind. To me, a fair reading of the paragraph is in total conflict with the Administration's Cambodian policy.

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger--Page two--May 27, 1970

The status of the Vietnamization program is another concern that I would like to discuss with you. As you know, there is growing sentiment in the House of Representatives that we need not allow the million-man South Vietnamese army more than another 13 months before it must stand alone. The general feeling is that since we send our own soldiers to Vietnam with no more than four months' training--and much of that intended to teach them to cope with the Southeast Asian climate--we can easily limit the South Vietnamese to more than twice that amount of time.

I share that belief. So you can understand my interest when I found, on page 85 of your book, this evidence to support my position:

> "...Conventional warfare favors the defense...Even in World War II, the attacker generally required a superiority of three to one. And with improvements in conventional weapons technology--far simpler than many of those already accomplished in other fields--this ratio could be increased further still."

By a generous count, North Vietnam may have two-thirds of the manpower of South Vietnam and nowhere near the sophistication in weapons systems as have been supplied to our allies by the United States. If your statement of 1960 is still valid, do you object to withdrawing American troops from Southeast Asia more quickly than is now anticipated and leaving the South Vietnamese in a favorable defensive position?

Finally, I was deeply concerned upon re-reading your chapter on negotiations with Communist nations. I do not disagree with you that continued compromise by democratic states may undermine the credibility of their positions. But if you take the position that the United States should be as intransigent as the Communist negotiators, then I see little prospect for a breakthrough in Paris and I think it is less than candid to imply that there is.

My present feeling, after re-reading your book, is that American policy in Southeast Asia is in substantial conflict with your own ideas of what that policy should be: not only past Asian policy, but policy which has been undertaken by the present Administration. And I would certainly appreciate the opportunity of discussing my misgivings with you to see whether we can reach common ground.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. KISSINGER

FROM: Helmut Sonnenfeldt
SUBJECT: Letter from Baron von Oppenheim

The attached letter (Tab B) from Friedrich Carl Freiherr von Oppenheim invites you to write an article for the German monthly paper EUROPA UNION on U. S. -European relations. The subject is of obvious current interest, but this publication with its European Federalist bias does not seem a suitable forum for you. I have therefore attached a response to Baron von Oppenheim at Tab A explaining why you are unable to accept.

RECOMMENDATION

That you sign the letter to Baron von Oppenheim at Tab A.

Herrn
Henry A. Kissinger
- Office of the President -

Washington D. C. /U. S. A.
White House

Lieber Herr Kissinger,

als Präsident der Europa-Union bin ich auch für die Herausgabe der Monats-
zeitung "EUROPA UNION" verantwortlich, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht
hat, die Probleme der europäischen Integration darzulegen und zu kommen-
tieren. Damit Sie sich ein Bild von dieser Publikation machen können, füge
ich die September-Ausgabe bei.

Heute wende ich mich an Sie mit der Bitte, dieser Zeitung einen Beitrag für
eine Sonderausgabe zur Verfügung zu stellen, die sich mit dem Thema "Die
Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Europa" befassen wird. Anlaß für die
Wahl dieses Themas ist die Sorge, daß nicht nur in Ihrem Lande ein wachsen-
des Unbehagen an der Europäischen Gemeinschaft entstanden ist, sondern
auch in Europa Vorurteile gegenüber Amerika zunehmen, die in unser aller
Interesse ausgeräumt werden sollten. Ich habe deshalb eine Reihe von Persön-
lichkeiten aus Politik und Wirtschaft gebeten, zur Entwicklung der Beziehungen
zwischen den USA und Europa Stellung zu nehmen.

Ich wäre Ihnen sehr verbunden, wenn Sie dieses Thema aus der Perspektive
der strategischen Interessen der Vereinigten Staaten behandeln würden. Welchen
Stellenwert haben Europa im allgemeinen und Westeuropa im besonderen in den
weltweiten strategischen Überlegungen der Regierung Ihres Landes heute?
Welchen Beitrag können die westeuropäischen Staaten und insbesondere die Mit-
glieder der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zur Entspannung leisten? Welche Be-
deutung kommt in diesem Zusammenhang der Präsenz amerikanischer Truppen
in Westeuropa (und besonders in der Bundesrepublik) zu? Wie beurteilen Sie
den deutsch-sowjetischen Vertrag?

Dieser Beitrag sollte etwa drei bis vier Schreibmaschinenseiten umfassen
und bis zum 15. Oktober 1970 vorliegen. Er kann selbstverständlich in
englischer Sprache verfaßt sein.

Die geplante Sonderausgabe wird mit einer Auflage von mindestens 35.000
Exemplaren erscheinen und erreicht die gesamte an diesen Fragen interessierte
Öffentlichkeit in der Bundesrepublik.

In der Erwartung, daß es Ihnen möglich sein wird, meiner Bitte zu entsprechen,
verbleibe ich

mit freundlichen Grüßen

Ihr

Anlage
