Dear Bernardo:

Now that I have returned (somewhat reluctantly) to the
States, I'd like to thank you again for making your beautiful
home in Punte del Este available for my stay. It was a
splendid place in which to relax and write, and you are a
gracious and considerate host. In fact, the visit was so
comfortable that I should caution you that I may now keep
La Soñada in mind for future forays to Uruguay -- so be
forewarned!

Thank you also for putting together the lunch on Saturday. I enjoyed being with your guests, and learned a great deal from their observations. I hope you were pleased with the TV interview for "Tiempo Nuevo." You and your panel asked many thoughtful questions.

Do let me know if your travels will bring you to New York.
In the meantime, with all good wishes to you and your lovely

Dear Dr. Savino:

I understand that Philippe Capraro has applied to New York Medical College as a first-year intern in general surgery. I am writing to give my strongest support to his application.

Philippe's parents have been indispensable members of my household for many years, and I have known Philippe since he was a young boy. I have, therefore, been in a position to observe the determination and personal sacrifice with which he has pursued his dream of becoming first a doctor and then a surgeon. There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Philippe will make a superb surgeon, for he has dedication, intelligence and a strong desire to make a contribution to the profession. He is also a fine young man, and I hope he will be able to serve his internship at New York Medical College.

Dear Punch:

The New York Times has a long and honorable record of opposing the war in Vietnam. But as a newspaper of record, it seems to me to have an obligation for elementary fairness.

Your editorial of September 26 fails to meet that test. You said that Nixon based his claim that all prisoners had returned on "shameful" semantic distinctions. But these distinctions were established in the Pentagon by the editorial writer's heros, Laird and Schlesinger. The White House knew no other system and, to my knowledge, *never* interfered in how to classify these cases. As for me, I wrote about the discrepancies in my memoirs twelve years ago - to general yawns.

Your editorial says we forfeited a chance to press Hanoi for the prisoners' return. The only trouble with the statement is that no part of it is even remotely true. We had no evidence at any time that any prisoners were alive; to this day no such evidence has been presented. We knew of some discrepancies - some 80 cases believed to have parachuted and reached the ground, with fifteen of whom some voice contact had been established, and two had been listed by North Vietnamese media as prisoners. They could have died of exposure, been killed before capture by security personnel or been killed afterward under conditions Hanoi did not wish to have known. Neither Schlesinger nor Laird knew any more, though they presented their lack of knowledge more provocatively. It is unfair to describe all these discrepancies as if they had been alive in 1973.

As for lack of pressure by us, I brought these files to Hanoi on February 11 - less than two weeks after receiving the lists. We protested twenty-five times in a six-month period. I asked for a

meeting with Le Duc Tho preceded by technical meetings, starting on April 20. On June 13 a new agreement on POW/MIAs was announced, restating all of Hanoi's obligations. When Hanoi ignored all agreements, I urged a resumption of military obligations. Congress prohibited it. So what exact pressure was forfeited and by whom?

The statement of your editorial that I bridled at the very idea of questions from Senator Kerry is a cheap shot. I bridled at the accusation that not enough was done to force an accounting of the missing. For six months the Committee staff has been questioning associates and me under oath, not about the fate of the prisoners but about derelictions in bringing about their return. It was not I who plunged back into the quagmire; the post-Vietnam generation seems totally incapable of grasping how painful this experience is for someone who did his best to end the war honorably and is now smeared for abandoning servicemen. But who would begrudge the *Times* a good old-fashioned lynching?

Dear Maynard:

Where were your researchers when your article on MIAs was put to bed? It claims I continued to negotiate the agreement despite the alleged incompleteness of the prisoner lists. The fact is we did not receive the lists until *after* the agreement was negotiated and signed. At that point, resuming military operations would have kept the 591 listed prisoners in Vietnam and provoked an outburst and the evidence at that point was much too scanty. We decided to implement the first phase of the agreement involving the return of our prisoners and to deal with the discrepancies afterwards if we would not clear them up in the meantime through diplomacy - a process of six weeks. In the interval, I took the discrepancy cases to Hanoi and sent other requests through diplomatic channels. On April 4 we requested a meeting with Le Duc Tho, which took place for twelve days starting on May 13. You must also remember that no live prisoner was ever sighted; that the Montgomery Committee of 1976 and the Woodcock Committee of 1977 concluded there were none in 1973 - none of which your article mentions.

It was our firm intention to resume military operations to enforce the agreement, as we repeatedly said publicly. My friend Winston was apparently not aware of this because he had left my staff by then. The impression left by his quote is that we decided to abandon the MIAs - for good reasons, that was quite simply not the case.

Secret Betrayal of American POWs in the
Soviet Union."

According to retired army Col. Philip Corso, who wrote a top-secret report on the incident for President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953, the Soviets' probable motive was espionage: the POWs would be interrogated about the details of their lives, and these life histories would then be supplied to Soviet spies for use as cover stories. Corso says he told Eisenhower the POWs should be given up for dead. "Is this your recommendation, Colonel?" Eisenhower said. "What can I recommend?" Corso replied. "Based on what I know of Soviet policy, these boys will never come back alive." Eisenhower,

Corso says, shook his head and agreed. "The fear of general war [with the Soviet Union and China] tied our hands," Corso says. "We never said anything to the families. We didn't know what to say."

Malcolm Toon, a former U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union who now heads the U.S. investigative team in Moscow, said last week, "There is no question in our minds" that large numbers of U.S. POWs from Korea were shipped to the Soviet Union. Toon said Yeltsin's government was eager to cooperate, but that the search for information about these POWs was being frustrated by resistance from elements of the former KGB and the GRU, Russian

military intelligence. The Americans "were interrogated, imprisoned, maybe killed," Toon said. "We're trying to pin this down now." Meanwhile, he said, "the question about the same thing happening during the Vietnam War is much more murky—there's very little evidence of that." So far, he said, "I have seen nothing that would indicate there is a live American POW here." But the search for POWs will continue, very possibly for years—while Americans, and particularly the families of the missing, can only wonder whether the whole truth has yet been told.

Kissinger: Betrayal of the Apostles?

MARTIN SIMON-SABA

'A tough time for Henry': Testifying to the Senate committee

The buzz quickly went out on the nationwide network of Henry Kissinger's former acolytes: "Stay tuned." Winston Lord, one of Kissinger's longtime former aides, had just testified before a Senate panel on the fate of Vietnam-era POWs, and he left the impression that some Americans probably were abandoned in the withdrawal from Vietnam in 1973. Lord made it clear that he wasn't criticizing Kissinger for continuing the withdrawal anyway. Still, the Kissinger hands watched in morbid fascination, waiting for their mentor to go ballistic. He did. Testifying before Sen. John Kerry's committee the next day, he denounced the implication (not made by Lord) that he knowingly left POWs behind as a "flat-out lie."

"I was angry at Kerry, not at Winston," Kissinger told NEWSWEEK. "Winston is my friend." Still, there are growing signs—and even more cocktail-party talk—of a cooling between Kissinger and some of his adopted family of former advisers. As national-security adviser and secretary of state, Kissinger nurtured a remarkable succession of protégés who went on to become leading foreign-policy figures in both parties and every administration since then. They include Bush's NSC adviser Brent Scowcroft, Acting Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger and top Clinton

adviser Anthony Lake. Lord, for one, split with Kissinger on China after Tiananmen Square.

Now, the publication of Walter Isaacson's new biography, "Kissinger," has added to the tension. The book portrays Kissinger as a masterful and farsighted diplomat, but also as a manipulative, deceitful and paranoid bureaucratic infighter. Isaacson, a top Time magazine editor, clearly got many of his anecdotes from Kissinger protégés. New York Times columnist Leslie Gelb, who studied under Kissinger at Harvard and says his first foray at book-writing was sabotaged by Kissinger, has an explanation. "I've never known a man so ad-

mired and distrusted at the same time," Gelb says. "Over time, the admiration has waned, and people are left with their Kissinger scars. When Walter scratched the scabs, they started to bleed."

A close associate says Kissinger believes that many of the most damning stories in the book come from some former NSC aides who split with him bitterly over the Vietnam War and charges of wiretapping. Kissinger has stayed close to most of his other aides, though. But most of this group talked to Isaacson, too, and apparently couldn't help telling some of the stories of ego and deceptiveness that they had only swapped privately among themselves for years.

(The former girlfriend of one aide recalls, "We could be in the most romantic setting, and suddenly he'd want to talk about what Kissinger did in 1970.") Now many of these friends are telling Kissinger, Isaacson didn't use any of the positive things I told him." It's "a tough time for Henry," says one friend. "He feels betrayed."

Angry call: Kissinger has refrained from discussing the book publicly. But friends have heard an earful. "He is insane over this book," says one former associate. William Hyland, the recently retired editor of the prestigious Foreign Affairs journal and a longtime Kissinger friend, published a brief review praising the Isaacson book for its "balanced objectivity." After an angry phone call to Hyland, Kissinger made his feelings public: he did not attend the journal's 70th-birthday gala—which was also being held to honor Hyland's retirement—even though he had been scheduled as the kickoff speaker. (Kissinger cited a scheduling conflict.)

Most of the acolytes still believe history will judge Kissinger a great figure. "This isn't anything for Henry to be upset about," said one. "This is just a long-overdue correction to his Superman image." But for Kissinger, who has nurtured that image both in and out of power for a quarter century, it's a correction he could have done without.

HENRY A. KISSINGER

Dear Maynard:

The statement you suggested should have been made, that "the Administration decided to continue the withdrawal", still would have been wrong.

Stopping withdrawals was never a realistic option. We received the list in two installments: January 27 for Vietnam, February 1 for Laos. We, therefore, were not certain of discrepancies, if any, before then. We were going to Hanoi on February 10. We could not know whether the discrepancies reflected chaotic conditions, deaths, accounting failures or bad faith. We, therefore, decided to take them up in Hanoi. There was no basis whatever for not implementing the agreement.

The first tranche of prisoners as well as withdrawals occurred while we were in Hanoi. Le Duc Tho and Pham Van Dong promised they would look into the issue. That took beyond the second and third withdrawal and prisoner release.

On March 14 I recommended resumption of military operations to Nixon. He decided to wait for the last tranche of prisoners, about 180 of them, due out on March 28. By then our residual force was down to 8300, with no combat capability. That is the only period to which your statement has a vague applicability, but only in the sense that Nixon decided to get back 180 prisoners in five days for 8000 non-combat personnel.

After March 28, Nixon approved resumption of

Dear Henry:

Many thanks for your article in New York Post on May 12 "Right in our own backyard". As always with your articles I deeply appreciate it.

You don't exactly say it, but I think it's in the text. It was a pity that the agreement with Mexico to be included in the free trade zone of United States and Canada could not be realized before the forthcoming presidential election. It must be political tactics behind it, but I don't understand.

When writing to you, let me say that I think it would be terribly important to do something like a Marshall Plan for the former Soviet countries. It is certainly a valuable support that the G 7-countries have given, when they recently announced for various needs 24 billion US dollars. But that is not enough. I think that all the OECD countries should make a common effort to share the burden - with the responsibility we have for humanitarian reasons, for peace in the world and for environmental development.

As a matter of fact, if this takes place, private corporations in the OECD countries would find a situation in several of those countries to invest inside their respective responsibilities. I am optimistic enough to believe, that it would not take too many years before the stimulance to the economy in the OECD countries would surpass the cost for the primary effort. But who would take the lead to do something like that?

Re: <u>Phillipe Pierre Blatter</u>

Dear Mr. Christakos:

I understand that Phillipe Blatter, a Swiss citizen, has applied to the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University. I would like to offer some insight into his background.

Although I do not know Phillipe, I have been acquainted with his uncle and godfather, Joseph S. (Sepp) Blatter, for many years. Sepp is the General Secretary of FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) in Zurich, the governing body for international soccer competition and for the quadrennial World Cup games, the largest single sporting event in the world. As you know, in virtually every country but the United States, soccer generates a passion comparable only to that here for the World Series or the Superbowl. I have enormous admiration and respect for Sepp, who directs this immense organization with consumate skill, great diplomacy and unassailable integrity.

Sepp has always taken an active interest in the education and development of his nephew and godson. It has been his hope that Phillipe would prepare himself for a leadership role in international business by attending a top-ranked American

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Phillipe Blatter is the nephew/godson of Joseph S. (Sepp) Blatter, the General Secretary of FIFA, and the single most important person to us as we organize the World Cup in 1994.

Phillipe Blatter has applied for admission to the Northwestern Graduate School of Business and the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. The decision day is close upon us and, apparently, his application needs a boost. I know that they would be very impressed and, hopefully, influenced by a letter from you. If it's possible for you to do that and to do it as soon as possible, it would be deeply appreciated.

Needless to say, if there are any people, other than those in the Admissions Office, who are influential at either school, contacting them would be greatly appreciated, as well.

Best regards.

Dear Henry,

I am writing to ask if you would consider being the keynote speaker at the Center's 35th Anniversary Conference in London, on January 26, 1993. You were a key figure in the Center's founding and, although you have with good reason kept your distance from Harvard in some of the intervening years, your participation in this event would be very significant to us. There is certainly no other person of your stature who has ties to the early history of the Center.

The London conference will focus on US-European relations, a topic which has anchored us through these many years. It will be a one day event, with seven or eight speakers, and we expect it will get a fair amount of publicity in London.

The audience will be European government and business people, and we hope that it will contribute financially to a small endowment drive we are embarking upon. The Hewlett Foundation has given us a 3-to-1 challenge grant, and the proceeds of this conference will be contributed to that fund. Over the years the Center's endowment has been badly eroded and we are working slowly to strengthen it.

In any event, I would be very honored if you would consider joining us on this occasion. I look forward to hearing from you.
