Dear Henry,

~~KISSINGER, HENRY A./~~ Jan 11/1970 Massachusetts

Just before leaving for a couple of weeks in Europe, I am moved
to take advantage of your kind suggestion in your letter of November
24 that the next time I am in Washington we get together. I may be
the only old acquaintance of yours who has not tried to see you since
you went to Washington, and I would very much value the chance to talk
with you and see you in situ.

The President's Commission on the UN is having two days of meetings
on January 21 and 22, and I thought I might come to Washington a day
early, particularly to see some of your own associates who have also
suggested getting together (particularly Hal Sonnenfeldt, Bob Behr and
Wilfred Kohl, as well as Charles Joyce, with whom I have been trying to
get together for some time).

Would there be any chance of seeing you then, or, alternatively,
at some time during the two days that follow when the Commission is in
session?

In the meantime, warmest good wishes and hopeful thoughts for a
successful 1971 for you and your boss.

Dear Red:

Many thanks for your recent note. I was sorry to have missed seeing you before you left Washington, but am sure that the announcements of the past few days have helped to explain why.

You honored me with your request for an inscribed picture, and I was pleased to comply. It is on its way to you.

Dear Henry:

As we prepare to leave Washington, I wish
you to know what a high privilege it has
been working with you and the other members
of the President's Cabinet. This has been
a challenging period for us all, as we
sought to shape politics to lead a strong
and free America, and I am confident history
will judge that we served our President and
our nation to the best of our ability.

I would appreciate having a photograph of
each of my former colleagues in the Cabinet.
These pictures, I know, will serve as memen-
toes of a cherished association.

With kindest regards,

Honorable Henry A. Kissinger

Dear Henry:

After spending the last 90 days traveling around
Alabama talking with a broad spectrum of voters,
I have decided to run for the United States
Senate seat now held by John Sparkman. I expect to
make a public announcement on Monday, February 14.

Although this obviously will be an uphill battle
all the way, I am looking forward to it with great
anticipation, and I believe our chances of victory
are very good. Certainly, it is my hope that my
candidacy will strengthen the Republican ticket in
November, and perhaps assist the President in a
State where his major opponent is likely to be our
Governor.

I look forward to serving with you and the President
during a second Nixon Administration.

The White House
Washington, D. C.

Dear Henry:

I am writing to you to express my personal concern and disappointment with the foreign and domestic policy decisions that have been made recently. I can see no sense to the invasion of Cambodia, nor can I understand the attitude of this Administration with respect to the younger citizens of this country -- especially those at our universities who are registering their dissatisfaction with present policies.

As a colleague of yours at Harvard (and as a friend of Ann's), I feel that it is important that you know the sentiment of the several Harvard faculties. I have never seen the Faculty more strongly polarized about an issue than it presently is with respect to our Vietnam policy. I feel there is practical unanimity among the Faculty that it is essential for us to disengage ourselves from Vietnam as soon as humanly possible.

I am writing to you specifically in the hope that you, with your obvious influence on the President's actions, will be able to guide him towards new policies which will have the support of the thoughtful, concerned citizenry. How long can the Administration hope to continue with policies that do not have the support of the people?
