Commander Erfan Ahmed, T.Pk.,
Burmah-Eastern Limited,
32, Jinnah Avenue,
Dacca - 2.
East Pakistan

My dear Dr. Kissinger,

I know how busy you are these days. Despite
this fact, I have, however, dared to write to you on a personal
matter and would be most grateful if you could help me in resolving
it.

Osman Ahsan (son of Vice-Admiral S.M.Ahsan,
whom you saw briefly when he attended Eisenhower's funeral and who
presently is the Governor of East Pakistan) had applied for
admission to M.I.T. I am enclosing M.I.T's reply which is self-
explanatory. Naturally all of us are very disappointed, particularly
as he has done remarkably well in his entrance examination. Out of
a total of 800 he obtained the following marks and percentages.
This you will agree is good performance by any standard:-

| Registration No.15910921 d/-6.12.1969 | No. | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Scholastic Aptitude Test: Verbal | 669 | 77% |
| Maths | 732 | 88% |
| Achievement Test: English | 661 | 76% |
| Physics | 800 | 100% |
| Maths 1 | 771 | 95% |

You will see that in Physics and Mathematics he has done particularly
well, and but for the disturbance in Karachi during his tests,
he would have done even better. It seems that the M.I.T. do
consider him a suitable candidate in an absolute sense, but not in
relative terms.

Osman has also applied to Harvard, Princeton,
University of California (Berkley Campus) and University of
Pennsylvania. The results from these 4 Universities have not yet
come.

I am writing to request you to kindly help him
obtain admission in any of these seats of learning. His preference
will be in the following order: M.I.T., Harvard, Princeton,
University of California and University of Pennsylvania. In
addition to these, he will be agreeable to joining any other
reputable Universities such as Duke or George Washington.

I was sorry to receive a circular the other
day from 6 Divinity Avenue to the effect that Harvard International
Seminar has been discontinued pro tem. This is quite understandable
as holding the Harvard Seminars without you would be, to use a
hoary cliché, like staging Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark!

OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS

March 30, 1970

Mr. Osman Ahsan,
Box 3948, Frere Hall P.O.,
Karachi 4, W.Pakistan

Dear Mr. Ahsan:

Your application for admission to the Institute
in September 1970, has been submitted to our Admissions
Committee and I now regret to inform you that your application
has been refused.

M.I.T. receives many more applications than it
has places. It can, therefore, accept only a few of those
best qualified. This refusal of your application does not
necessarily mean that your academic preparation is unsatisfactory,
but that others are thought to have even stronger records.

I trust you will find it possible to make other
satisfactory arrangements for continuing your education.

Dear Fellow of the Academy:

In accordance with the Statutes, the Committee on Membership is sending for your appraisal the following list of nominees for Fellowship and Foreign Honorary Membership. The Committee will meet in March to study the list in the light of your appraisal and to reduce it to a fraction of its present length. The reduced list will then be presented to the Council as the recommendation of the Committee. Since only a fraction of the nominees will be elected, it is urged that this list be kept confidential.

You are urged to rate all nominees whose qualifications are known to you, regardless of Class and Section. The purpose of this rating is not to compare the nominees with one another but to show their standing in their respective fields. Please use the following scale:

1 — Outstanding

2 — Well qualified

3 — Qualified

4 — Unacceptable

Space is provided beside each name for any brief comments you might wish to make on the nominees. There is also a blank sheet at the end of the list on which you may make longer comments; these extended comments are particularly useful to the Committee.

Please sign this appraisal at the top of this page and give the other information requested; if it is not signed it cannot be used. All appraisals are confidential, available only to the Committee on Membership and the Council.

Your appraisal must reach the Academy no later than February 20 in order to be considered. Return it to the Executive Officer of the Academy, 280 Newton Street, Brookline, Massachusetts 02146.

Dear Henry:

Thank you for your note about Elliot Richardson. Sol Linowitz, Logan Wilson and I had a splendid meeting with him and a good opportunity to talk over a number of matters, the future of CU in the State Department being primary among them.

I am writing now to mention one thing about Morroe Berger, the sociologist at Princeton who specializes in the Near East and one of the invitees for the April 12th meeting who has accepted. Morroe is unusual in the degree of access that he seems to have in the UAR and the breadth of his acquaintanceship there.

The point is that Morroe will be attending your April 12th session in Washington just back from three weeks or so in the UAR where he has been one of only three American guests at the millennium celebration of the city of Cairo, invited by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. I suppose it is unusual that Morroe, as an American Jew, should have such full access to, and ready acceptance in, the Arab countries. In any event, he is in other ways a remarkable man. I mention all of this just in case you or one of the members of your staff might want to latch on to him while he is in Washington, considering his very recent experience in one of the key countries we must be concerned about.

Dear Henry:

There is one matter I wanted to ask you about that I deliberately omitted from the letter I wrote yesterday in order not to overload one communication with too many subjects.

This is the question of whether you might be willing to make a brief introduction by telephone for one or two of the trustees and me to meet Under Secretary Elliot Richardson in the near future. In relation to a number of enterprises of interest to us, and because of the concern of major segments of the academic community with the role of the State Department in cultural and educational exchanges, we would greatly value an opportunity to discuss some of these matters with Mr. Richardson.

I would like to find a time when Herman Wells, Vincent Barnett, our board vice-chairman, and I could call on Mr. Richardson at the State Department. If you could introduce us by telephone, we could then follow up for a request for a definite appointment.

Many thanks if you feel you can do this.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

You were kind enough to write (October 3, 1969) and wish me success in my new research project, which I have renamed "Southeast Asia: Some Strategies of Solidarity." My invitation at this Institute is for only four months (I applied in mid-session when there was just some left-over funds), and while I have prepared my research plan and made a good beginning, I can hardly go much further in this brief period which will terminate on February 28. The problem of continuing and completing the project was troubling me when I heard about the SEDAG research grants to be made by the Asia Society out of funds supplied by AID. In the application form references were to be given. I took the liberty of giving your name without seeking your permission first, since the last date for submitting applications was very close. Please forgive me.

A SEDAG grant, which makes extensive field work in Southeast Asia possible, will solve my problem. Without such assistance the book I envisage cannot be written and my work so far will go to waste. The Asia Society will probably make a reference to you. I shall be very grateful for your recommendation. I hesitate to ask for more, but a word from you to AID will make a grant certain. Applications will be screened by both AID and SEDAG. I have thought of sending you a copy of my research plan, but you cannot possibly have time to go over that material.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Our mutual friend William F. Buckley is going up for membership in the Century, proposed by John Dos Passos and seconded by me. As you know, ten additional letters are needed, from members to the Committee on Admissions, sufficiently heart-warming to bestir these gentlemen to action, and it occurred to Dos and me that a letter from you, on the subject of the general clubability of Bill Buckley, would shine out like a good deed in a naughty world.

If you have the slightest reservation in this matter please let me know (self-addressed envelope enclosed) and we can easily get someone else to make up the needed tenth. Except that no substitute name would carry, with the Committee, the weight of yours.

Dear Ithiel:

Many thanks for your note and memo on the
subject of Ambassador Bunker's successor.
I am interested in your suggestions and am
keeping them well in mind. Incidentally, I
have no reason to believe that any change
in Ambassador is imminent.

I am sorry about all of the cancelled appoint-
ments. My schedule frequently is overwhelm-
ing. I will have David Young call you when
there is time for us to get together.

MEMO

TO: Professor Henry Kissinger

FROM: Ithiel de Sola Pool

RE: Bunker's Successor

Bunker's successor should have two distinctive characteristics:

1. Intimate prior knowledge of Viet Nam;

2. Commitment to a political/pacification approach rather than either a military or diplomatic one.

1. A Viet Nam Expert

The Ambassador to Viet Nam is less a diplomat than the strategic director of a complex campaign that must get results fast. The Ambassador should be thoroughly understanding of Viet Nam and its complexities before he ever gets out there. It would be a mistake to appoint a public figure or brilliant generalist. A mistake continuously made by the Johnson Administration was to rely on top-level generalists for Viet Nam decisions. Prior successes in domestic politics, conventional strategy, business, or European affairs were of little help in picking strategies for a peasant conflict in a Buddhist country. We would not pick a man without business experience to run General Motors, or a civilian for COMVS MACV, or a man without knowledge of American politics for President of the United States. The crucial decisions to be made in Viet Nam require a personal feel for what that country is about. Without that (as we have proven) we can spend billions of dollars to no effect.

The number one requirement is that the man be a real Viet Nam expert.

2. Commitment to Pacification

Among Viet Nam experts the primary consideration now should be: can the man make the GVN really move on pacification and reform.

Professor Henry Kissinger

March 10, 1970

2.

The appointment itself should signal to the GVN, to all American personnel, and to critical American moderates and mass media that the Government of the United States is serious about reform in Viet Nam and serious about reducing violence and securing a political solution. Therefore, the President should put a man in charge of the whole effort who will clearly put pacification first.

### 3. Suggestions

Attached is a list of men qualified for the job. Of these, William Colby perhaps best meets these criteria. I do not know Colby well. I cannot evaluate how far he has such other requirements as toughness in keeping MACV and the GVN in line. But to put Colby in charge of the whole show would certainly give pacification the position it should now have as the dominant activity.

IdSP:del

LIST OF MEN WHO WOULD BE EMINENTLY QUALIFIED AS BUNKER'S
SUCCESSOR AND THE SPECIFIC ASSETS AND DRAWBACK EACH HAS.

1. Gen. Creighton Abrams
   Qualified but would convey a military image.

2. William Bundy
   Supremely judicious and wise but does not appreciate the
   word politics of pacification.

3. William Colby
   Supremely qualified. Knows Viet Nam. Would symbolize priority
   for pacification approach. Popular. Perhaps too mild in
   manner; might not bring enough leverage to bear on GVN.

4. James P. Grant
   Would do very well indeed, but perhaps his enthusiasm as a
   salesman would ultimately annoy the press and U.S. liberals.

5. Philip Habib
   Brilliantly knowledgeable on Saigon politics, but too Saigon
   centered; not sensitive enough to what is involved in pacifying
   a peasant country.

6. Samuel Huntington
   Eminently qualified. While an unknown "Chairman of Harvard
   Government Department" carries some clout and his writings
   would signal a new political approach.

7. Herman Kahn
   Would use leverage (and how) for right things but carries
   an "unthinkable" image.

8. Robert Komer
   Knows exactly what is needed but too tied to LBJ and too
   abrasive.

9. Edward Lansdale
   Would stress pacification but too tied to one faction of
   Northern officers.

10. George Lodge
    A good man with a good name and substantial understanding of
    Viet Nam but some question about his toughness.

11. William Porter
    Would stress pacification but he is perhaps too bitter.

12. Robert Shaplen
    Why not go outside the establishment to get the most knowledge-
    able tough-minded newsman who knows where all the skeltons in
    Saigon are buried. It might take him a few months to learn
    bureaucratic style.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Chicago Council on Foreign Relations is seeking a new Executive Director. The Council is a non-partisan, non-profit educational organization dedicated to increasing knowledge and understanding of international affairs. With a membership of over 19,000, it is the largest, as well as the oldest, organization of its kind in the United States.

The Council is governed by a Board of Directors, made up of 54 leading Chicago area citizens active in government, business, academic and professional life. The Board annually elects from its members a President and other officers who have more specific responsibilities for its operations. The Board also delegates duties to a number of committees, the most important of which are the Executive Committee, Program Committee, Long-Range Planning Committee, and Young Adults Committee. Working directly under the President and the officers is a staff of 14, headed by the Executive Director. The Executive Director's principal assistants are an Assistant Director and an Educational Director.

The Council sponsors more than 200 programs a year which reach a cumulative audience of over 50,000. These include Headliner Luncheons, Evening Lecture-Seminars, one to three-day conferences, panel discussions, and a monthly television program.

Among recent speakers from government, business and university life have been Dean Rusk, Charles Bohlen, David Rockefeller, Willy Brandt, and Henry Kissinger. Each year the Council also sponsors 15 to 20 charter flights and tours on which some 2,000 members travel to all parts of the world.

Because the Search Committee is seeking an individual who has had considerable train-
ing and experience in foreign relations, the salary of the next Executive Director will be not less
than $25,000 per annum and may be substantially more depending upon the qualifications which
are brought to the position.

The present Executive Director will retire June 30, 1969, and it is hoped that his suc-
cessor will begin as soon thereafter as possible. The Executive Director will have two basic duties:
(1) To conceive, plan and execute new programs and techniques of world affairs education not
yet tried by the Council; and (2) to administer all Council programs, old and new.

The Council is seeking a strong leader who will actively enhance the effectiveness,
image, and relevance of the Council and its objectives. Although no candidate can be expected
to perform in an exemplary fashion in every situation, the following capabilities are desired:

1. A knowledge of foreign affairs which commands respect and recognition.

2. Imagination, originality and initiative in creating and implementing new ideas for Council activities.

3. Writing and editing ability. The Council presently publishes each month "Notes on World Events," an 8 to 12 page newsletter which contains announcements of coming Council events, reports on past events and excerpts from speeches and essays on foreign affairs. While "Notes" has, under the present Executive Director, become a highly regarded publication, the Long-Range Planning Committee has recommended further substantial changes expected to improve its lay-out and content. The Executive Director, either personally or in a supervisory capacity, should carry out these changes. In addition, the Council has long desired to expand its publishing activities in any of several ways such as the preparation and editing of books based on speeches at conferences sponsored by the Council.

4. Executive ability to delegate responsibility and supervise his immediate staff in the management of the Council's wide variety of activities.

5. Sufficient practical experience with "money matters" to assume the responsibility for the financial commitments of an organization with, thanks in large part to the present Executive Director, an annual operating budget of approximately $200,000 and a cash flow of about $1.5 million. While accounting experience is not required, ability to prepare and adhere to an annual budget or the budget for an individual program and to understand a quarterly operating statement as prepared by the Council's accountant is essential.

6. Speaking ability. The Executive Director should be able to speak effectively before groups of all sorts and sizes so as to command their interest.

7. Ability to work effectively under the President and other officers and work smoothly with many other people including Board members, Council committees, guest speakers, leaders of other cooperating organizations and citizens of the community at large.

## Description of Position Sought

Most of my career has been in the area of the performing arts. Specifically, I have appeared in both dramatic and vocal roles. While my interest in performing *per se* is strong, I would now like to refocus my career and become involved in the work of film production. I am primarily interested in researching and would like to concentrate in this area.

My interest in research stems from my recent job-experience with Governor Rockefeller and my studies with Lee Strasberg. I believe that my experience on the stage will increase my value as a researcher.
