Dear Baron Van Tuyll:

I wanted to write you just
a note to tell you what a pleasure it
was to meet you at the luncheon. The
setting was charming, and it was an
excellent opportunity for me to learn
about Dutch thinking on foreign policy.
I was much impressed, and gained many
new insights.

With kind regards.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

May I thank you for your
kind words of October 13th.

For me too it was a great
pleasure meeting you and if ever
again luck should take you this
way I hope you won't miss to call
me.

My dear Mr. van Tuyll:

It has been much too long since we have had a chance to meet. I still remember our conversations in The Hague with the greatest warmth; I only wish that your predictions did not have such an unfortunate way of coming true.

I am writing you today to ask your advice about a two-week conference we are planning here between May 26th and June 9th. Our purpose is to invite a number of senior Europeans and Americans to discuss the problems of NATO, especially in the strategic field. We have already explored this with officials in Washington and such people as General Norstad, all of whom would be willing to sit in for periods ranging from a few days to the entire two weeks. I was wondering if you could suggest somebody from the Netherlands.

Of course, I would consider you the ideal participant if you could free yourself for this period of time. We are inviting individuals from equivalent positions in other countries. Should you not be able to attend, perhaps you would like to make a recommendation of either somebody in the Foreign Office or among the military, or perhaps among the serious journalists.

I will look forward to hearing from you, and hope that it may be possible for you to come.

With kind regards and every good wish.
