Dear Dr. Kissinger,

MAY 17 1996

I have received with pleasure your letter of May 1, 1996. On behalf of myself and the bereaved family, I wish to express my thanks to you for your kind sympathy at the untimely passing away of Mr. Sun Shangqing.

I am glad to send you some photos you took with the Chinese leaders during your recent visit to Beijing. I believe that with our joint efforts the Sino-US relations will be further developed.

With best regards,

Lu Baifu
Vice President
Development Research Center
of the State Council of PRC
