Dear Henry:

The purpose of this note is to tell you that I have obtained a copy of
a tape recording of the Weintal Prize ceremony, and have just finished
listening to it.

It requires a suspension of disbelief to be appreciated fully. I
achieved this quickly after you used my favorite quote from my favorite
barkeep, Mr. Deeley. When the tape concluded, I was reminded of LBJ's
remark after an elaborate and quite flatulent introduction. "If my
father were here, he'd appreciate it," he said. "And if my mother were
here, she'd believe it."

Flippancies aside, I was and remain most appreciative. I wanted you to
know that.

Now that you've added Kilimanjaro to the Great Wall and the Alaskan Pipe
Line -- and attended your share of Ardeshir Zahedi's parties -- can you
really claim to be a man unfulfilled? And finally, if I may be so impertinent, is it true that if he's elected, Reagan intends to make you ambassador to the Bermuda Triangle?

Thanks again.

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
The Secretary of State
2201 C Street, N. W.
Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Thinking about the pace you have been keeping so tired me that I took a week's vacation following The Business Council meeting at Hot Springs. Only now am I back at my desk after a week of rest and relaxation at The Augusta National. Certainly the first action at hand is to express my most sincere thanks to you and Mrs. Kissinger for helping to make our May session a very memorable meeting indeed.

I know that Reg Jones has already told you how much we all appreciate your willingness to keep this commitment when all sense of right and reason might have dictated, in your case, a deserved rest and relaxation in some suitable place. Very obviously, our great Secretary of State considers that personal sacrifice "goes with the territory" -- to use a little business jargon which, when applied to you, becomes global in reach. Among many, many others, I share. George Shultz's opinion that the nation is extremely fortunate in having you as its Secretary of State.

Again, the members of The Business Council and their wives thank you for making us the beneficiaries of your stamina, your intellect, and your dedication.

Sincerely,

Edmund W. Littlefield

My dear Mr. Secretary:

As shown in the attached I have written to Carlyle Maw thanking him for his part in resolving the dispute between the Republic of Peru and Marcona Mining Company over the expropriation of Marcona's assets in Peru.

My job would remain undone if I did not also express to you the deep appreciation that my colleagues and I feel for the effective support received from the Department of State in negotiating settlement of this dispute. Without the policies and the people that you put in place and your steadfast support of the principle involved the settlement achieved would not have been possible.

The protection of property rights of American citizens abroad is important to international trade and the free flow of international investment. Whether in the private or the public sector you have demonstrated a capacity for leadership in the field of foreign affairs that has and is serving well the interests of the United States and all its citizens. For

September 30, 1976

The Honorable Carlyle E. Maw
Under Secretary of State
Department of State
2201 C Street, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20520

Dear Mr. Maw:

I write to express to you the deep appreciation felt by me and my associates for the effective and diligent manner in which you negotiated a settlement with the Republic of Peru on behalf of Marcona Mining Company.

This was a task not easy to accomplish and particularly so in the economic and political circumstances that prevailed. With diligence, deftness, determination and negotiating skill you brought the matter to a conclusion acceptable to both parties to the dispute.

For what you have done on our behalf you have earned our deep admiration and our heartfelt thanks.

Dear Mr. Secretary,

As the agent of Professor Oskar Kokoschka, I have made
arrangements through the good offices of Ambassador Catto,
to have delivered to you the "Jerusalem Faces" suite of
lithographs by this master.

Inside the package containing the lithographs you will find
a light blue envelope with a letter from Professor Kokoschka
to you. This package will be arriving by airfreight.

I thought you would like to have as well this artist's auto-
biography, which has just been published in English in
London. The German edition was a bestseller in the German
speaking countries. I would be very honoured if you would
accept this as a small token of my great esteem for you.
