Dear Miss Emerson:

I have received your letter of July
25th concerning the unpublished paper by
David Rosenblatt. Unfortunately, I cannot
remember ever having such a paper, or indeed,
having met Mr. Rosenblatt.

I hope my delay in answering has
not inconvenienced you.

MEMORANDUM

FROM Robert L. Fischelis

To Henry Kissenger

This letter just came in this
morning, and I thought you would be
interested in reading it.

I would be very happy to get to
the bottom of all this, but I suppose
it will have to wait until Muhlhauser
returns. If there is anything else
I can do in the matter, please let me
know.

When you are through with the
letter, you can send it back to me
at Phillips Brooks House

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

The Operations Research Office is contractually bound by provisions of the Industrial Security Manual for Safeguarding Classified Information dated 3 May 1955. Paragraph 41 thereof deals with the use of consultants and requires either the execution of the Department of Defense Security Agreement, DD Form 441, with the resultant conduct of a Facility Security Clearance Survey at the premises of a consultant or the execution of a certificate that the services to be rendered by a consultant will be performed at, and no classified material will be removed from the facility of the contractor.

Inasmuch as work performed by ORO consultants is usually done at our cleared facilities, a military installation, or some other cleared facility, the execution of the DD Form 441 and resultant survey would involve a great deal of unnecessary work and annoyances. Therefore, it is requested that you execute four copies of the attached "Certificate in Lieu of DD Form 441", and return all copies at your earliest convenience in the enclosed envelope. After execution by ORO, a copy will be sent to you for retention.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

The arrangement for you to bill your services to OCB through
ORO is one for administrative convenience only since you are a
consultant to ORO. In employing this method, ORO is limited to
the terms of its contract with you dated 13 December 1951, which
provides for a $35.00 per diem. The Operations Coordinating
Board was aware of our contract with you at the time it was
decided to have you invoice ORO.

Therefore, we return herewith your invoice dated 21 December
1955, covering consulting services for 18 days during the period
25 August through 4 November 1955.

For your convenience an invoice using the contractual rate
has been prepared and is enclosed. If this is in order, it would
be appreciated if you would sign the original and two copies,
retaining one for your files, and return the others to this office
at your earliest convenience.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Even though we expressed our thanks to you informally
on 21 April 1953 for your lecture on "Soviet Strategy" to the
Officers' Advanced Course, I want to take this opportunity to
thank you for the time and effort you expended.

Your presentation on "Soviet Strategy" was extremely
interesting not only because of its timeliness, but also because
it opened new avenues of approach to the foremost problem of
our day. Your analysis of Soviet ideology and its import on
Soviet conduct was especially valuable. The questions which
were presented to you by the audience were very well handled
and greatly added to the informativeness of your original
presentation. I feel sure that your interpretation of this topic
will prove of considerable value to these officers in their
future assignments.

I sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity of
hearing you speak again in the future.

Dear Les:

I was delighted to receive your letter of October 10th although somewhat nostalgic that you should have the amenities of Heidelberg while I am confined to the somewhat deadening atmosphere of Cambridge. I found your description of living across the river a little bit confusing since I wasn't quite sure from which side you were taking your bearings but as far as I know either side of the river in Heidelberg is extremely tolerable. I can imagine that there are many extremely interesting projects to be done in Europe. I just hope we have imagination enough to do them prior to an emergency for a change. I agree with you that the Shortley shift may be an advantage although I am not sure that Johnson's flying visit helped matters very much.

I am still CRO'ing, at least in principle, although I have cut down my activities considerably. Legate has changed Chairmen three times within the last three months with the result that they are about as far along as they were two years ago when they started. I feel a great need for some more tough-minded thinking, not just this playing with empty phrases, which has lately gone on. I shall talk to Pettee about it the next time I do down.

I wonder what has happened to Betty's Alumnae Bulletin. Is she editing it from Heidelberg now? If not, I suspect that in some respects life has become a little empty.

The less said about the intellectual life at Harvard the better. Orthodoxy is still the road to advancement and lack of backbone doesn't hurt either. As far as the campaign is concerned, I think that this has been one of the most frustrating periods for all people concerned about America's welfare. You know my feelings about American foreign policy. Nobody could be more eager to have a house-cleaning in both our foreign and intelligence agencies as I am. More importantly, I feel a great need for the creation of

some standards so that this cynical and superficial government by committees will cease. On the other hand, the conduct of Eisenhower's campaign does not inspire me with the feeling that he is the man who can set standards and that he really understands what kind of house-cleaning is necessary. I agree with you that his foreign policy statement in California left almost nothing to desire. On the other hand, his foreign policy statement in Illinois left everything to be desired. For all these reasons this election is posing a tremendous quandary — at least, for me. Although I am very strongly leaning towards Stevenson, it is again without any real enthusiasm.

I would be very interested to get proposals from you about what we might discuss in CONFLUENCE and also, I would appreciate it if you would send me the names of the people whom you say are interested.

Please give my very best to Betty and do let's stay in touch.

Sincerely,

Vitoonp I am very greatly pleased with Stevensam, if it is again without reason this election is being a tremendous discussion — at least, I am sure, I am sure, that everything to be desired. But still there is California left almost nothing to do. On the other hand, his committee meeting is necessary. I agree with you that it is the least helpful statement can of anything and that it is really unnecessary what kind of position does not involve me with the feeling that he is the man who committees will cease. On the other hand, the conduct of Stevensam's some standards so that this administrative and sub行政性 Government is

Dear Henry:

This is a letter to ask if you will act as an ORO consultant
for a total of four days during the next three months, as a part of
the Post Publication Review Board of ORO.

I would like to have you review and rate during this time
ORO-T-370, which attempts to evaluate a long-range R&D program for
the Army, and ORO-R-17 "The Defense of the U.S. Against Thermonuclear
Attack - A Digest".

I would appreciate it if you could let me know if this is
possible.

February 12, 1958

Dear Ellis:

Of course I shall be delighted to join your Post Publication Review Board on ORO-T-370 and ORO-R-17. It would be helpful to know as far ahead of time as possible what days you are planning to meet. Right now April looks like a bad month for me; March and May are a lot better. At any rate, you can count on me.

I have been reading your interview with U. S. News & World Report. Needless to say, I agree with your general position, thought I thought you were a little harsh on the Special Studies.

With warm regards,

Dear Henry:

Thank you very much for accepting a review of T-370 and the Digest of R-17. T-370 (195 pages) is available now for review and the R-17 Digest (180 pages) will be available about 1 May.

The evaluation steps are to read the document, which is best done here at ORO, then fill out a rating form. This form is broken down into six subheadings much the same as a "Fitness Report". The important element of the card is, however, a general rating on a numerical basis from one to four. On the back of the form the reviewer writes a summary of his reactions to the document.

I appreciate your help in review of the documents and would
like to discuss them with you after your review.
