Dear Henry:

Here is the clipping of O'Donnell's column.

The piece, as I see it, would be essentially this:

(1) The lead to the effect that we are on the verge of another summit conference.

(2) A view of past summit conferences, in most of which we have come out badly.

(3) An examination of the reasons why we have not done well and of the lessons to be learned therefrom.

(4) The arguments for and against another summit conference.

(5) If a summit conference is to be held, as is undoubtedly the case, how we can prevent the mistakes of the past.

As I see it, the final section would be at least a third of the piece.

If you have any doubts about this outline or about the article in general, please call me.

My fullest regards to you and to Mrs. Kissinger.
