Dear Mr. Secretary,

Henry, I know that you are terribly busy, but I am emboldened to
send you one of our specially bound advance galleys of Joseph Lash's
ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL, 1939-1941--The Partnership That Saved the West,
because both the author and I feel that this may be of special interest
to you in the light of some problems common to a man of your responsibil-
ities, despite a passage of better than forty years. Both Joseph Lash
and I would be extremely grateful for your honest comment.

I will, of course, be sending you a copy of the finished book when
it is ready sometime in August of this year. We plan to publish in October.

Dear Mr. Secretary,

I thought you might be interested in some advance comments on John
Stoessinger's book, HENRY KISSINGER: THE ANGUISH OF POWER, which we are pub-
lishing later this month. We have already heard from Hans Morgenthau, Harrison
Salisbury, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Norman Cousins, and Elie Wiesel, and I'm
sending you their comments together with a copy of the book which you may not
have seen.

One of these days I would be fascinated to know your opinion. Mine
is favorable, largely because I have learned to trust John Stoessinger, and I
have a feeling in my bones that he's written honestly--at least, he has pre-
sented his understanding honestly, and I hope that it is also factually
presented.

It has been too long since you and I met for breakfast and discussed
the follow-up on NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FOREIGN POLICY. Our college department
tells me that they already have some understanding with you. You can be sure
that I would be proud to be of whatever service I can be and that in this company
the college and trade departments work very well together.

Enclosures

"This book is the intellectual history of Henry Kissinger--an examination of the formative influences in the development of his thinking; an exploration of his interaction with historical forces and living history; a balance-sheet of his achievements and failures. It is the sort of book that ordinarily might not be written until after a decade or so. Yet John Stoessinger has been able to see the Kissinger phenomenon in historical perspective while giving the book an up-to-the-minute quality."

-- Norman Cousins

"...an admirably informed, illuminating and fair-minded study, the best possible introduction to a complex and fascinating man."

-- Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

"By far the best book written about Henry Kissinger."

-- Hans J. Morgenthau

"An original and illuminating analysis of a complex figure. This book is scholarly yet amazingly accessible. Whoever wants to understand Henry Kissinger, the person, scholar, and statesman will find this book to be the most compelling reading."

-- Elie Wiesel

"The virtue of John Stoessinger's study is that it is written from a double viewpoint--the viewpoint of a man who knew Kissinger *before* he was Kissinger, at a time when both were students together in the same disciplines at Harvard, a man who watched the maturing Kissinger emerge as a scholar and then a diplomat; and also from the viewpoint of a close and informed diplomatic participant and observer, a man whose own career has also taken him close to the sources of power.

"Stoessinger brings to his study, thus, elements which almost no other student of Kissinger is likely to combine. The results are very special: we begin to see Kissinger the man as well as Kissinger the diplomat who drapes over his shoulders the mantle of the great statesmen of the past.

"We need every shred of light which we can find to focus on Kissinger and his policies. Stoessinger makes a major contribution."

-- Harrison E. Salisbury

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

In this picture you look
rather bored. What did you think of
my girl friend?

I've known Marquita since
she was born. Her father was my
pilot when we were involved in the
First Flight Around The World. And
her mother, who had been a top assistant
to General Billy Mitchell, was with me
for a time.

Some day, some day, if you
can squeeze me into your schedule I'd
like to chat with you about the Near
East, an area in which I have been some-
what involved for nearly sixty years.

Oh yes, and I happen to be
one of your enthusiastic supporters.

Very respectfully,

MARQUITA MAYTAG NAMED
AMBASSADOR TO NEPAL

Marquita M. Maytag of Sun Valley soon will be exchanging this mountain community for another home half a world away. On March 8 Marquita was named as United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Nepal. She will succeed Ambassador William I. Cargo, who has been reassigned to the Department of State.

Marquita was born December 4, 1925 in Los Angeles. She is the daughter of Corliss C. Moseley, an aviation pioneer and the founder of Western Airlines. Her mother was Viola Holmes of Chicago.

The newly-appointed ambassador credits commentator and author Lowell Thomas for first sparking her interest in the tiny Himalayan country when she was a very young child. Thomas was a great friend of her parents even before Marquita was born and he has had a "found influence" on her life.

Marquita first visited the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu in 1960. She was so entranced with the place that she made it one of her life goals to return. In 1970, Thomas invited her to go along with a party of journalists and photographers who were traveling to Kathmandu to record the wedding of Crown Prince Birhendra of Nepal. Photographer Dick Durrance and his wife Miggs were also part of that group. Thomas had visited Nepal many times and he and Durrance had photographed the coronation of Birhendra's father, Mahindra.

It was during that visit that Marquita had an opportunity to meet the former Dalai Lhama of Tibet who was living in exile in western India. This was particularly gratifying for her because she had been interested in Oriental philosophy and religion for many years.

Later that same year, Marquita, the Durrances and Lowell Thomas were passengers on the inaugural flight of Alaska Airlines from Anchorage to Siberia. It was the first time an American airliner had been allowed to land on Russian soil. The passengers then transferred to a Russian plane and went on to visit Moscow, Leningrad and a number of

other Russian cities. The nine and a half hour return flight, which occurred in mid-June, was made memorable by the opportunity to see both the moon (to the north) and the sun (to the south) at the same time. "We went right through the middle," said Marquita.

In 1975, Marquita returned once again to Kathmandu when she was appointed to the presidential delegation attending the coronation of Birhendra whose father had died two years previously. Dignitaries from 93 countries, many wearing their native dress, attended the month-long ceremonies. Marquita remained in Nepal after the coronation and spent two weeks trekking with a Sherpa guide to Thyangboche Monastery located at 13,400 feet, only 15 miles from Mt. Everest.

Marquita's involvement in Republican Party politics began at the grass roots level in Denver in 1962. She was active in the presidential campaign of Senator Barry Goldwater in 1964. She subsequently moved to Florida and was part of a

group of dynamic young Republicans who were instrumental in revitalizing the party in that state. She continued to work in congressional and senatorial campaigns throughout the years.

In 1966, Marquita moved to California where she worked for the election of Ronald Reagan as governor. She was a member of the Republican State Central Committee and was asked to be the National Committee Woman from California. But she felt that her six children were too young at that time for her to be away from home for any great length of time. "My vocation was Mother and my avocation was politics," she said. Marquita did, however, accept the position of Deputy for Protocol for the State of California and from 1970-73 she was the only woman member of the board of directors of the American Conservative Union.

It was about this time that Marquita decided to "drop out of politics a little way and take a look at life and where I wanted to go." All

but one of the children were grown and she wanted to put her energies to work in some rewarding and fulfilling way. She had traveled extensively and the diplomatic field of government attracted her. Because of her lifelong interest in Nepal and its people, she decided to actively seek a diplomatic post in that country. She enlisted the help of Senator Goldwater and Senator Cliff Hansen of Wyoming. Along with former presidential assistant Bill Timmons, they were instrumental in helping her get the appointment.

Marquita sees the Nepalese people as "at peace with themselves and generally unspoiled by materialism and other influences the so-called civilized world has brought about in their country." She says they have "courage, a sense of humor, and a certain order in their lives even though they are illiterate and essentially poverty-stricken by our standards. They are an enchanting and happy people."

Marquita says the two basic and rapidly accelerating problems of the Nepalese are over population and the striping of trees from the hill-sides for fuel, causing erosion of the soil which washes down into the rivers. She also is concerned about the health of the Sherpas who were a very healthy people until the influx of Europeans brought diseases to which the Sherpa people had no resistance. She compares the situation to that which existed on this continent when the Europeans began arriving and settling among the native Americans.

As United States Ambassador to Nepal, Marquita will help to administer the U.S. programs such as AID, USIA and the Peace Corps. She will also entertain visiting digitaries and will represent her country at various Nepalese royal functions.

Marquita will be quite at home in Kathmandu. She loves the high mountain country and that is what first brought her to the Sun Valley area. And she probably won't lack for news from home either; it seems that Sun Valleyites are always passing through Kathmandu and running into each at the Yellow Pagoda on their way to those fabulous treks into the high Himalayas. They will probably make the Ambassador's Residence (Marquita's new "mountain home") a regular stop on the way.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

Your dinner last night for a few of us from the business
community was most interesting and enjoyable. We
appreciated your candor and your willingness to hear our
views and respond to our questions.

In my judgment, the rooms on the eighth floor are very
attractive and done with great taste. The collection of
American antiques attracts my special attention every time
I am there.

Your job is particularly difficult at the present time, and
I hope that you will let us do anything we can to be of
assistance. I shall look forward to being with you again
on the occasion of the next dinner, which you mentioned last
evening.

Dear Mr. Thomas:

I would like to thank you and your
colleagues for your consideration in meeting
with me during my visit to Los Angeles. It
was a pleasure to have the opportunity to
discuss foreign policy issues with such an
interested and interesting group.

It was evident to me in both Los Angeles
and San Francisco that the people of California
hold some well thought out points of view
about foreign policy issues and I have carried
these thoughts back with me to Washington.
Again thank you for a very enjoyable session.

Best regards,

Dear Henry:

As I told Bob McCloskey on the phone last night, I have long wanted to find
a way to have you meet quietly and informally with the Nieman Fellows -- but
have hesitated to impose on your formidable schedule.

Now that I find myself invited to the Boston World Affairs Council luncheon
in your honor on March 11th, I am inspired to hope that you might be persuaded
to spend a little time with our Fellows during your Boston visit. Our schedule
is entirely flexible, and our ground-rules for such meetings are, by time-
honored tradition, "off-the-record."

We could, for instance, join you for breakfast, mid-morning coffee, a mid- or
late-afternoon "beer-and-cheese" seminar, or a dinner that evening (the 11th);
or alternatively, something on the 10th or 12th, if you plan to linger at all.
We could meet at any place convenient for you -- on either side of the Charles.
We don't ask for speeches; just a conversation.

I should stress that our Fellows are a wondrously disparate, intelligent, low-
key, and non-polemical mix of serious sabbatical students -- 19 in total, 14 from
the U.S., and 5 from abroad (including our first ever from Eastern Europe, a
Hungarian TV journalist -- our gesture toward detente!). I enclose a complete
list. Incidentally, we usually include Nieman spouses in all events; but that
rule is waivable.

Our Nieman visitors in recent months have included Bill Colby, Bill Buckley,
Noam Chomsky, and Senator Mathias; so we are very catholic! Since both Bob

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

What a pleasant surprise to see you yesterday after
a four-year hiatus. You looked very well, and my
thoughts inevitably went back to the days when you
wore tweeds at Langdell Hall.

Warm congratulations on your recent achievements
in southern Africa. We all fervently hope that
the other actors in that part of the world are able
and willing to build on the promising foundation
you have laid.

I appreciated your comments yesterday in the corri-
dor at State, and I look forward to seeing you again --
hopefully, in the near future.

My best personal regards.

Dear Gaston:

Please accept my sincere thanks for your
hospitality on May 25. As always, I found our conver-
sations extremely interesting, and I greatly enjoyed
seeing Madame Thorn again. I am only sorry that
Nancy was not along.

We are, needless to say, delighted with the
handsome decanter and glasses, for we are both
particularly fond of heavy, modern crystal of good
design. They will be a treat to use, and we appre-
ciate your thoughtfulness.

As you know, I place a very high value on our
association and friendship. Meeting with you fre-
quently in various parts of the world has been both
pleasant and profitable. This time it was a particular
pleasure to spend some time with you in Luxembourg
and meet your colleagues and friends at the luncheon
at the Chateau de Senningen. I left with a better
understanding of your country and a much enhanced
appreciation of your accomplishments.

His Excellency
Gaston Thorn,
Prime Minister of Luxembourg.
