Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Almost exactly five years ago, you predicted your authorship of a best seller by the time you reached 60. Congratulations on being well ahead of schedule!

My letter of August 27 offered my continued services of representation to the Company. Now that your financial situation may have changed rather substantially, it may seem advisable to re-examine your objectives and needs for yourself and Mrs. Kissinger.

For example, a new will may be in order, particularly if you plan to go to Europe soon. You may find the services of a Trust Officer most worthwhile. A competent attorney may be in a position to advise you of tax implications on your demise which may have been overlooked. The emphasis of your life insurance holdings may have to be shifted from the creation to the conservation of your estate.

I am in a pretty fair position to draw all these threads together for you without cost (except, of course, for the attorney's services). Would you care to let me know whether I can be of any help to you?

My best wishes, as always.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Since your last lecture at the Institute for Higher
Learning on June 23rd., dealing with American Foreign
Policy in World War II left no time for discussion, I
should like to make a few remarks.

You told us that American Foreign Policy is based on
fine, moral principles which in World War II meant to get
rid of the aggressor nations Germany and Japan, thus
justifying unconditional surrender.

As an example of a bad peace treaty, you mentioned
Versailles, the equilibrium missing, and neither a moral
nor a physical blance of power established.

It is immaterial whether Churchill and Roosevelt
were motivated by public pressure (and you cited that too)
or by their own initiative when they decided in The Atlantic
Charter the aims for which their nations were fighting. I
would like to emphasize a few of the articles of the Charter:

1. No material gains are to be arrived at

2. No territorial changes are to be effected, except those desired by the peoples concerned

3. All peoples have the choice of forming their own kind of government.

But what was the situation which developed already
in 1943, 1944 and came to a climax in 1945 as far as
Russia was concerned? In these years, there could be no
doubt that another aggressor had come up. I mention only
the seizure of the Baltic States, the Czechoslovakian-
Soviet Russia treaty (London, 1943) the suppression of
the London Polish Government and instead of creating a
satellite, the same in Hungary (a new cordon sanitaire)
taking German lands, compensating Poland with other
pieces of German territory, etc.)

Now, there could be no doubt that the Atlantic Charter
had been violated by Russian aggression, the aim to defeat
aggression and to establish a new world order was gone.
Therefore, there existed all moral and political reasons
to explain this situation to the American people.

Why did the U.S.A. not act, tell the Russians peacefully
and if they did not listen, to take arms against them?

We had in 1945 the atomic bomb - but besides, we had
a military establishment of 12,000,000; our army had
suffered little losses; the economic system of the U.S.A.
was working one hundred per cent. There was no other

Sehr geehrter Herr Professor Kissinger,

durch ein Versehen, das ich zu entschuldigen bitte, ist
Ihnen der Bericht, den ich über meine Informationsreise
durch die USA vor einiger Zeit verfasst habe, noch nicht
zugegangen. Ich darf ihn in der Anlage beifügen und mich
noch einmal sehr herzlich für das sehr instruktive Gespräch
bedanken, das ich mit Ihnen geführt habe. Ich würde mich
sehr freuen, wenn sich anlässlich eines Aufenthaltes von
Ihnen in München die Gelegenheit zu einer erneuten Begeg-
nung ergeben würde. Vielleicht interessiert Sie ein schmaler
Band mit zwei Vorträgen, die ich zu deutschen Problemen
gehalten habe.

Mit verbindlichstem Gruß
bin ich Ihr ergebener
