Dear Henry:

Many thanks for your note and the copy of your
article on The Future of Nato. I have read it and con-
gratulate you on the most interesting and important dis-
cussion on this vital subject.

I have just returned from Viet-Nam and the Far
East, which tends to bear out in my mind some of your
conclusions.

Dear Henry,

Thank you very much indeed for sending me a
copy of "For a New Atlantic Alliance".

As always it was most stimulating and
interesting; but it has convinced me still further
that perhaps we in the UK are not making nearly
enough noise. Your article spent pretty well all
its time describing the problems and ambitions of
of the French and Germans; we are in one hell of
a mess ourselves, showing symptoms of a schizo-
phrenia which as your psychologists will tell you
has a bad prognosis. I suspect that in seeking
to assure our self-respect we shall have to turn
ourselves into Europe's No.1 problem. Perhaps
you might have one or two ideas as to how best we
might do this?

Is there any chance of seeing you at this
year's Polish Pugwash? It looks as though I
shall probably be going. How about you?

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I wanted you to know that we plan to use
your testimony before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in the Fall issue of The
ATLANTIC COMMUNITY Quarterly.

Yours was a very fine analysis and
statement. We wish that we could use it in
its entirety, but space considerations make
this impossible. Therefore, we will have to
content ourselves with the second part --
beginning, "Where Do We Go From Here?"

It hurts us to sacrifice the very
excellent analysis you have in the first
section, but unfortunately, we have no choice.

Sometime when you are in Washington I
hope that we may get together, with some of
our other people here, for lunch. It would
be useful for us to exchange ideas with you.

With best wishes,

T-66
