The Honorable Henry Kissinger
Secretary of State

Washington, D.C. 20520

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I would very much like to thank you for the kind invitation to attend the luncheon at the United States Delegation on Friday, October 8. Not only was it an opportunity to meet with distinguished visitors from Africa, but also, it was an excellent opportunity to hear about the direction of United States' foreign policy in southern Africa.

Your linking of Rhodesia and Namibia to the bringing of justice to South Africa is of considerable importance. Ultimately, the overarching question remains whether the South African problem is open to resolution; if so, it will bring stability to the area and contribute to world peace in general.

I feel that the Rhodesian talks at Geneva have definite possibilities for bringing a resolution to the problem, and that the time is now at hand for thought to be given to some issues that might be encountered in independent Zimbabwe. The re-entry of guerrilla fighters into the civilian sphere might pose some immediate problems and in the long run military appointments for former guerrilla tacticians might open the possibility for a military coup. Ethnic divisions between the Shona and Ndebele might be reduced with the coming of independence, but there are, also, severe dangers there will be an escalation of rivalries on this level and on an intra-ethnic level especially because of the protracted nationalist struggle. Possible reprisals against African collaborators and whites also would complicate the situation.

Within independent Zimbabwe very special problems will arise with regard to rapid urbanization after a settlement. The U.D.I. has caused relative economic stagnation and the injection of new capital and aid will result in urban influx without controls which might create serious dysfunction because of

inadequate housing and facilities. In the immediate post-
independence period, opportunities will exist on the employ-
ment level, but an unemployment problem will undoubtedly
soon arise. Decline in the post-boom period must also be
taken into account.

The role of Zimbabwe in regard to South Africa both
in terms of diplomatic representation; (i.e., establishing
formal relations between the countries) and its stance with
regard to guerrilla incursions into South Africa will be of
key importance. Clearly, a different emphasis would be
placed on the liberation of southern Africa by Nkomo in
comparison with a government by Mugabe. If, however, Nkomo
and Mugabe combine their forces, it would make a substantial
difference in Zimbabwe and with reference to its external
role. If a national government can be formed this would
make for a much greater stability.

The possibility of a one-party state emerging in Zimbabwe,
either for purposes of national solidarity or for unifying
disparate elements, cannot also be discounted. Indeed, the
pattern in other parts of Africa indicates a relatively
quick progression towards this situation. Whether such a
one-party state will follow a model of democratic participation
or merely become a plebiscitary party, of course, depends
on factors such as ideology and, also, to a certain extent,
ethnicity.

The fronts that might be opened up with the coming of
independence to Zimbabwe and Namibia, and increased stability
in Mozambique are important considerations for the future.
Indeed, we cannot discount the possibilities of guerrillas
from Mozambique coupled with urban guerrillas inside South
Africa. Both would create qualitative differences in the
social and political environment of South Africa.

Finally, the United States will be able to play a
valuable role in guidance and aid on a technological level,
development of higher education (especially on the applied
level) and in many other vital sectors in the vital transi-
tional period in Rhodesia especially if a manpower shortage
arises due to rapid large-scale white withdrawal from Rhodesia.

These suggestions are, of course, based on the assumption
that the Geneva talks will lead to a settlement. Should this
not occur obviously prolonged guerrilla activities will lead
to sustained violence and bloodshed in the area. My colleagues
and I fervently hope you will prevent this from happening.

Dear Henry:

The detente which has been discussed so often is a result of your vision and the extension of man's long overdue hope for peace. That we have shared thought is my pride. The extension of the United States feeling and the cognoscere therefrom has suspended the prejudicial base of human judgment but not enough and thus the peace is established in a non-defense base initially. Recent insight of the President as well as yourself as we discussed are to be commended for the vision of balance that can be sought.

The long history of the social progress of man since the foundations of democracy in the age of Descartes to Einstein would teach the equality of all elements of the society in the age of matter. The balance of social order is the implication of the principle of relativity in formation. As the Prince of Wales said in Sidney a few weeks ago monarchy to which he subscribes for better or worse is the continuation process allowing social change.

Recognizing the detente between western social democracy and the
communists we can devote ourselves to the peace which is trade to meet
the agricultural, educational, health, housing, service and product base
needs of mankind. Our concern is with logistical analysis and the cost
of the gross national product of all nations in meeting inflation and in
stable government. As Locke mated in the Second Treatise on Civil
Government government is founded on the need of man for protection
in private property and trade therefrom to meet need equally labourers
and those who own the earth equal. Though long forgotten the basis of
government is peace.

I seek your renewed conversation and an appointment. The false needs of
mankind are an inflationary source and an immoral encouragement of
government. I seek to translate this philosophy of ethical value, peace
in trade and commitment to the authorization delegated to my assignment
to provide its ego gratification. Such is motivation in the human side of
enterprise in the Christian society in detente or otherwise.

I have also written to Senator Kennedy requesting his support for such an
opportunity. I hope to restate the modern American value in full dignity
in government service and in shared thought extended in each decision.
Deepest regards old friend for the contribution you have brought America
in two administrations of greater note than the modern moment records.

Dear Miss Gratz:

I gave your letter of March 27 my careful consideration and my reaction still remains the same: my relationship with Ann and Henry Kissinger is a private and very personal matter, which I don't wish to share with the readers of the New York Post.

One of your seventeen questions I am willing to answer: #17. Yes, I have always liked Henry, and I certainly still do.

Sorry, I feel very firmly about not answering any of your other questions.

And who officiated?

14. We think Henry had a sexist approach to marriage. Did Ann feel inadequate in any way?

15. Ann in recent years has shown interest in the feminist movement and also in Ethical Culture. How active has she been in these areas?

16. Can you tell us anything about Saul Cohen? Are Ann's children receiving a Jewish religious education? Will David have a bar mitzvah?

17. Has Henry turned his back on his orthodox heritage? On his old friends?
Do you like him?

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

You have probably already forgotten the
Osborns and Hong Kong but we haven't forgotten
you and to us your visit here was really some-
thing special. We loved getting to know you
a little bit and I'm sure you could tell that
I adored your sense of humor.....I'm still
chuckling!

I meant to send you the enclosed picture
of us long ago. Don't you think it's cute?
Dick Kennedy took it. Please tell him I said
thanks. I've made an enlargement of it to hang
out on our porch with all our other VIP pic-
tures. If I send it to you will you autograph
it for me? I would be so grateful. Do you
remember that I did not get your autograph in
our sign book when you were up here?

Yes

here. We saw Al off to Peiking and the Bruces
will be our houseguests from May 7 thru 14.
We hope we can be of help to them. We're green
with envy for all those going to Peiking...natch!
Our three years here will be up in July so we'll
be up for reassignment soon. Wherever we go we
hope you will come see us again - and stay much
longer next time. Maybe by that time David will
have finished the wood sculpture he is doing of
you. I believe we showed you that wonderful
piece of wood that had such great strength and
was to become the great and granite Dr. Henry
Kissinger. I've not yet made a painting of you
but I have ideas and they are pretty far out
like most of my paintings.

Bye for now. We've thought of you so often.
I'm sure if David were here (he's at Joe Sisco's
Near East Chiefs of Mission Conf. in Tehran) he
would join me in warmest regards. Is it true
that you will now concentrate on the Near East?
Now that situation really is "screwed-up" as
you would say and sure could use you.

Please let me know if I may send you the
enlargement.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

About 18 years ago I came from the town of Leutershausen, Germany to America. For the first time in these 18 years I have returned to Germany to visit with relatives who are now living in Erlangen (near Fürth). During this visit I obtained a newspaper clipping from my grandmother which describes the visit of your parents to Leutershausen some time ago this year I believe.

I want to give this clipping to your parents through you as a
memory of their trip to Leutershausen.

Unfortunately time did not permit me to see Leutershausen on this past visit but nevertheless seeing Germany after so many years was a wonderful experience.

We produced it as a promotion piece for our company, not as an item for sale. We thought the pictures were very good and I hope you agree.

If there is anyone you'd like additional books sent to please let me know or we can get them to you if you'd like.

I'd appreciate very much to have a signed photograph of you if it would be possible.

Dear Mrs. Oyarzun:

My wife Nancy and I were enchanted by the
special performance, "A lo largo de Chile,"
which was presented at the Municipal Theater
during our stay in Santiago. Since our visit
to Chile was confined to Santiago, we con-
sidered it particularly thoughtful of Mr. Carlos
Hevia, Director of the Municipal Theater, to
organize for the OAS visitors a program of
music, color, and dance from all parts of your
country. In this way we were able to enjoy
a sampling of folklore from the various pro-
vinces of Chile, which we found fascinating.
And the musicians and dancers themselves are
to be congratulated for their first-rate
performances.

We hope to be able to return to Chile
some day to enjoy in a more leisurely way
your country's rich culture and generous
hospitality.

The Honorable
Maria Eugenia Oyarzun,
Mayor of Santiago,
Santiago, Chile.
