Dear Henry:

Just a word of congratulations and thanks for the splendid performance you gave your Philadelphia audience last week. As I think back over those who have held such posts as Secretary of State or a White House position similar to yours during the last decade or two, I frankly cannot imagine anyone who would have been so informative, candid, and generally interesting. It is terribly reassuring for some of us out among the great American public!

It was a great evening for me personally, because not only did it provide an opportunity to say hello to you again after a number of years, but also to find that one of our most important Trustees, and one of my strong favorites, Bev Murphy, was introducing you.

My role here in Philadelphia seems to be that of trying to turn this old and distinguished Academy around more sharply toward the urgent tasks it must be undertaking on an even broader front in the realm of conservation and environmental protection during the decades ahead. Although different from what I have done in the past, it is an immensely challenging assignment. And when one has people like Bev Murphy to work with, it even becomes possible!

Dear Henry:

We had a brief contact when you spoke in Philadelphia about a year ago and thereafter you expressed the hope that we might stay in touch. Rather than doing that, I have simply been sitting in the background among your many fellow countrymen, full of admiration and enthusiasm for the moves vis-a-vis China, the Soviet Union, and the Vietnam war in which you have had the leadership over the last year.

On reading one of the culminations of your efforts in Peking -- the opening of the diplomatic office there under Ambassador Bruce -- I decided to be bold enough to write the enclosed letter to John Holdridge, who is going over as one of Mr. Bruce's two China-Expert Deputies. Having had the earlier contact with John Holdridge, as mentioned in the letter, and realizing that he has been working with you in recent times, I thought you might not mind if I shared with you what I had written him. I do not intend to ask you to do anything about this because I realize it is a very remote chance in any case, and if there were a possibility I am sure Mr. Holdridge would indicate the moves that could be made. Meanwhile, more power to you -- but where do you go from the top of the mountain you have now scaled several times?

Dear Mr. Holdridge:

I was interested and pleased to read in the press of Ambassador Bruce's appointment to Peking and that you will be going with him as one of two chief deputies. This is another historic occasion -- the actual beginning of a diplomatic mission in China -- that a number of us used to talk about fifteen years ago when I was with the Carnegie Corporation, concerned even then with the opening up of cultural and educational relationships with mainland China.

You may recall that we met several times in Hong Kong in 1962 and 1963 when I was there, on behalf of Education and World Affairs in New York, carrying out the conversations that led to the establishment of the Universities Service Center, and you were the principal official we dealt with in the United States Consulate General. We indeed had difficult times with the first director in those early years, but I do believe the Center went on, under Preston Schoyer and his successors, to perform a highly useful role. I have not been very directly in touch with the enterprise since coming to Philadelphia two years ago, about the time the management of the Center was shifted to Fred Burkhart at the American Council of Learned Societies, but I gather it will continue at least for a while.

I am writing to make a rather off-beat inquiry, one which I hope is not presumptuous of me on the basis of a brief acquaintance some years ago. Our daughter is graduating from Princeton this spring and has now been studying Chinese for the equivalent of about five

years. She is in the history department and is doing her senior thesis on Dr. Han Suyin, actually a critique on Dr. Han's role as an interpretive bridge between China and the West. (Nancy in fact pursued Dr. Han per- sistently enough to get a three-hour interview with her in New York recently!) Although not in the East Asian Studies department at Princeton, Nancy has, of course, become thoroughly fascinated with this whole field of interest and in fact hopes to go on to law school where she wants to combine the study of international law with Chinese comparative law.

Against this background and on reading of your appointment, I began to wonder whether the staffing of the new office in Peking might conceivably, at a very junior level of course, provide any opportunity for someone like Nancy. I had nothing more glorious in mind than the role of a typist, clark or stenographer and was partly stimulated to make this inquiry by remembering that a similar series of unplanned circumstances led to my own entry into the ranks of the Foreign Service when I went to Nicaragua right out of college in 1941.

I realize that this may all be completely out of the question but, having developed myself, such a considerable interest in this field and having had a good deal of vicarious exposure to it -- through working over the years with some of the leading academic types on China like Doak Barnett, Alex Eckstein, and the late John Lindbeck -- I hoped you would not mind my writing.

I do wish you great success in your important work in Peking.

WWM:s

P. S. I hope you will not mind my telling Henry Kissinger about this contact, considering his prominent part in the new chapter of United States-China relations. I used to know Henry well when he was at Harvard and I was what I suppose you might call his "account executive" at Carnegie when the corporation was supporting his research.

Dear Henry:

The other day, just as you were flying over the Pacific, your office called and asked for six re-prints of the picture that I took of Nancy.

Now, today, you are winging your way back over the Atlantic, having traveled around the world, and I am just in a position to send you the six enlargements which I am enclosing. I do trust they are satisfactory, and if you require any additional ones or different sizes don't hesitate to be in touch.

Like all other Americans I certainly trust that your trip was a successful one. Many of us have our hopes riding on you.

As you know, Jane and I had planned to come down to Washington on December 3rd to spend the weekend with Pat and Bus. You indicated that we might possibly be able to get together for dinner on Friday night.

Someone in that "House" where you work has suggested to Bus that he go over to the Azores so it means that our weekend has been cancelled. We will not be coming down as a result.

I am sorry that we will miss this opportunity to have dinner with you but look forward to seeing you again in the very near future.

With all good wishes to you, and thank you for your thoughtful-

Not too long ago, Your Honor, I wrote to You and asked You for a photograph which I received. It was after You returned from the Chinese Peoples' Republic. I want to thank You very much for the photograph which I immediately inserted in my album.

I know You may call me a 'pain in the neck', Your Honor, but could I ask for a small autograph to attach to the bottom of Your photograph and more or less make it complete? Please do me this favor, Your Honor. Thank You.

Happy Birthday, again, to You and Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

Attached is a letter from Senator Mathias dated December 18, requesting a short meeting with you to discuss his resolution.

His name was put on the request list and your response on December 29 was to check with Harlow. This was done and Harlow strongly recommended that you see Mathias.

I contacted Ken Belieu to set up the meeting. Monday the 19th was chosen because Mathias leaves for Europe on the 20th and returns on the 30th, the day the hearings begin.

Dear Mr Kissinger,

Twice each month the New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences sponsors the Television Correspondents Breakfast Series. These meetings, held at the Harvard Club of New York City, are designed to give News Correspondents, Producers, Reporters, and Writers the unique opportunity to meet at an informal, off-the-record session with the Newsmakers of the world.

Participating newsmen would include Bill Beutel (ABC), Walter Cronkite (CBS), John Chancellor (NBC), Tim Knight (PBS), and ten producers and writers of the major news and documentary programmes. We know that if you were to join us, there would be a most prestigious and knowledgeable group anxious to meet with you.

Future guests include: Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Ambassador Huang Hua of China, T. Vincent Learson (Chrm. IBM), among others.

We look forward to your acceptance, and assure you that we will be completely at your disposal.

In the meantime, I am,

Matthew Mattiello, Chairman,

Dear Dick,

RE: <u>Our telephone conversation of this afternoon</u>

As I pointed out in our original invitation to Dr Kissinger, twice each month members of The Correspondents Breakfast Series meet at The Harvard Club of New York City. These breakfasts are designed to give News Correspondents, Reporters, Writers, and Producers the unique opportunity to meet with the News- makers of the world. It will be a pleasure welcoming Dr Kissinger to one of these private, eight o'clock breakfasts at his convenience.

In regard to dates -- it would be advisable to remember that it is difficult "rounding up" members a few days before and after conventions. The Republican Convention is August 21st through the 24th, as you well know. Also, Mayor Lindsay is due to join us on August 10th. And, in addition, we should try always to exclude Fridays. Therefore, may I suggest the 28th through the 31st of August as good dates. But, please consider this only as a suggestion and feel free to name any other date when Dr Kissinger would care to join us.

The participating newsmen will include:

1. Walter Cronkite      Ancorman      CBS      CBS

2. Burton Benjamin      Exec. Producer  CBS      CBS

3. Lucille Rich         Correspondent  WCBS     WCBS
