Dear Dr. Kissinger,

My visit to the Center of International Affairs and nice chat with Professor Brown reminded me of our long correspondence in 1964-1968. I was extremely honored to be invited four times to take part in the International Summer Seminar. Your last letter is tangible proof of your admirable perseverance and perfect understanding of my situation at that time.

I take this opportunity to send you my greetings and to thank you for encouraging me not to drop the idea of coming to the United States. Now, after three months here on an ACLS fellowship (research scholar in American government and political thought), I have to leave this magnificent country very soon. I hope I have learned a lot while staying here. I would be very happy if my book on Recent American Political Thought and Political Process which I am scheduled to finish next year contributes to mutual understanding.

I regret very much I did not even have a chance to think of seeing you, but I hope you will not refuse to meet with me at a more convenient moment.

With kindest regards,

Dear Henry:

It has been a long time since I communicated with you. However, I have had the pleasure and thrill of following you through the press. I must congratulate you on your achievements and, in particular, on the thrust and drive which you have given to President Nixon and the Administration in the area of foreign policy. I can well recall our discussing the incoming Administration and your thoughts on whether or not you should leave the academic life. I must say it was a great decision and a very sensible decision, particularly from the point of view of our country.

What I would like to ask you is whether or not you would be interested in being the sole speaker at the reunion of my Harvard College class on Wednesday, June 14. This is the Class of 1927. It will be a dinner at the Museum of Science. Since it is a reunion, there will be a high attendance. It is a distinguished class and does include such people as Chip Bohlen, former Ambassador to Russia, and, also, the Ambassador to France. I know the class would be just delighted to have you be our speaker. Would you let me know promptly. We would be grateful if you could come.

Best wishes as always.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

When I was a Nieman Fellow in your class in International Relations in Harvard in 1958, you taught us--if I can read my old class notes accurately:

> The West tends to believe in the "magic" of a summit conference, that tensions will somehow ease during the talks. . .

> To the West, the fact of a conference has become more important than what might be accomplished . . .

> As I watch national sentiment developing since the announcement of President Nixon's visit to Peking, I sense that your prophecy is coming true. Americans are pinning their hopes on the results of such a meeting. You also taught us that the more stable the society, the more desirous it is of peace "and the more willing it is to ascribe its ideals and aims to its opponent."

> This too is happening. We want China to have the same peaceful goals as ourselves, and we are ascribing them to her.

> I know you are a busy man, but could you please take a moment to dictate a postscript to your Harvard lectures, to let me know how we can escape the disadvantages in this Chinese visit which you ascribed to summit talks in general a decade or more ago.

> I, for one, am grateful for your being in your present position. Excuse us all for our impatience as you work to extracate us from a war you would never have put us in.

Realistic Basis for Summit Talks

There is reason to believe the United States is going into the summit conference between President Nixon and Red China's Premier Chou En-lai for the right reasons because the conference has been organized by a man who is especially skeptical about summit conferences.

When Henry Kissinger, the Presidential aide who negotiated the trip to Peking, was teaching students International Relations at Harvard, he had this to say about summit conferences:

> The idea that peace will break out after a summit conference is an idea that more sophisticated nations cannot afford, and neither can we...

The West tends to believe in the "magic" of a summit conference, that tensions will somehow ease during the talks...

To the West, the fact of a conference has become more important than what might be accomplished at a conference. The status quo powers are still convinced that good will somehow magically emerge at a conference because they have good will. They refuse to agree that revolutionary powers might use a conference only as a platform for propaganda.

Kissinger taught that a summit conference can be a useful mechanism, but only if the conference objectives are clearly defined beforehand and mutually agreeable.

The West's experience with summit talks has not always been good. Nikita Khrushchev treated President Kennedy like a little boy at their first session. President Eisenhower was rebuffed soundly by Khrushchev following the U-2 incident.

President Roosevelt, meeting with Premier Stalin at Yalta in 1945, believed "Uncle Joe" would cooperate with the West after the war and agreed to a division of power in Europe which led to the Russian political takeover of a string of buffer states in Eastern Europe.

The most notable failure of Western

American entry to summit talks, in instance, is being guided by people not expect "magic" from them. That is, while whole-heartedly welcoming break in the U.S.-China impasse, support the President in the delicate negotiations which not expecting "magic" from them.

Dear Henry:

Apart from the enormous, historic importance
of your trip to China, I was very pleased about it for two
other reasons.

First, you outwitted the press in a manner
that would have done credit to some talented veteran of
many years of service with complex intelligence operations.
On some occasion, I will have to learn from you the details
of your maneuvering (I might be able to apply your pro-
cedures to our own activities!!).

Second, I thought to myself that the former
Harvard University Professor Dr. Henry A. Kissinger
certainly never allowed the cloistered life of the academic
community to interfere with his capacity to adjust to com-
pletely different circumstances in the rough, tough world
of practical realities. I wouldn't be surprised to know that
some of your former colleagues when they considered what
you did probably shook their heads in bewilderment and
wished they could understand it all!

Please don't take any time to acknowledge this
letter but I did enjoy so fully what you did and I just had to
drop you this line. As for the great historic importance of

Dear Henry,

Because of the enormous burdens you carry daily quite likely the Holiday Season will be just another work period for you. I will not add to it by writing any lengthy letter. However, I do want to tell you at this time that I retired from the FBI in October following some serious policy disputes with J. Edgar Hoover.

The only purpose of this letter is to say that I have enjoyed knowing you since we first met while you are at Harvard University. On coming to Washington, D. C. in your present vital role it has been my privilege to follow with more than the usual interest the effective manner in which you adjusted to a difficult life so remote from the conditions prevailing in an academic community. The contributions you are making to our Nation are so substantial, complex and far-reaching in scope that they would be hard to measure at this time. They are historic and because of this your place in the crucial and ever changing history of our times is already established.

Thank you for the pleasant official relationship. This has ended and needless to say I miss the action, the problems and the work.

Continued success to you.

Dear Cy,

I very much enjoyed our breakfast last week.

As indicated, I think it would be very useful for you to meet with the President, and I requested an appointment for you. Unfortunately, the unfolding events in the Middle East and the preparations for the upcoming trip have combined to decimate the President's schedule this week.

The timing is unfortunate, for I know the President would have liked to talk to you. I hope we can do better in the future.

This should be awaiting you on your return
from what I hope is a successful European visit
-- both for you and for your boss.

Indeed I, too, enjoyed the breakfast.

Thank you for putting my request to the
President. Obviously I was disappointed because
this is the first time in all the years I have
known him (including three requests while he has
been President) that one of my rare requests to
be received has failed.

Naturally, however, I recognize how busy
the President was.

In concluding, let me say that I am most

I am taking the liberty of sending you a copy of
my latest book.

Dear Henry:

Yesterday my secretary in Paris read me your letter (down here on a Greek island) and I have been pondering it. Sent you a cable (through Paris) today.

First of all I want to thank you for your friendship, help and exceedingly thoughtful letter. I can only express my ideas of you as "a substitute" by saying that if you will be good enough to give me luncheon in your office when I see you next I shall bring with me from Paris a bottle worthy of gracing it. (You once told me the only times you got a decent lunch from the W.H. kitchen was when they knew you had a guest).

But I have decided to postpone my trip until after the elections and to come in November. I have a book (translation coming out in Paris in October and it has been selected for their Book of the Month Club. My publisher has been eagerly pressing me to make myself available for promotion between Oct. 20 and Nov. 5. After due reflection I have decided to agree. He wants me in Paris, Marseille, Geneva, Brussels so I thought in my (and h is) unenlightened self-interest I'd go along.

Thus, I hope to see you in November and will let you know as soon as I arrive. (Also, with luck, maybe I'll get a chance to talk with the P. about his second term policy plans.) Thanks again and looking forward to seeing you.

Sir:

Mr. Minoru Tada, Political Editor of The Yomiuri Shimbun, is visiting the U.S. for four weeks from January 4, 1971, on the invitation of the State Department.

The Yomiuri Shimbun, as you may be already aware, is a daily newspaper with 5,000,000 subscribers throughout Japan.

In view of the fact that the relations between the U.S. and Japan have entered a very delicate stage, we expect our political editor's visit to the U.S. at this time to pay big dividends. Through his eyes, we hope to obtain a better understanding and perspective of America's posture and plans regarding problems that affect U.S.-Japan relations.

For this purpose, it is imperative that he meet and obtain the views of Americans who are in a position to influence both official U.S. thinking and public opinion. We are therefore asking you to grant Mr. Tada an interview and through him to address the 5,000,000 readers of The Yomiuri Shimbun.

The broad areas in which we are interested are listed below. Mr. Tada will appreciate hearing your views on all or just one item or on a specific aspect of any item.

(1) Present and future relations between Japan and U.S.

(2) U.S. Asian policy, particularly with respect to the People's Republic of China.

P.S. Anita spent 2-1/2 hours this afternoon finding these two tickets for you. If you approve, I will send her a small arrangement of flowers expressing your appreciation for all the times she has done this for you.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

As you are probably aware, President Johnsons's Task Force on Government Organization - the Heineman Commission - considered the organization of foreign as well as domestic responsibilities. Because I served as a staff member to that Commission, Harry Rowen suggested that I look into the question of having the report of the Task Force on <u>Management of Foreign Affairs</u> made available to you.

I have talked to Ben Heineman. His view is that if you would like a copy of the report you should seek it through Joe Califano. The report would be well worth the effort to obtain.

Harry also suggested that in the interim I send you a copy of a paper I prepared for the Task Force of my own on <u>Instruments of Foreign Policy Coordination</u>. Mr. Heineman had no objection to it being sent to you so long as it was clear - as it should be - that the paper represents my own views only.

Attachment: as noted.
