Dr. Fritz G. A. Kraemer

Washington, D.C.

Dear Fritz,

Per our telephone conversation, I have prepared a one page resume and an academic background sheet which are attached. Although I haven't made a decision to retire from the Army, I realize that the mathematics of my probability for promotion, with or without a physical disability, are weighted highly toward the unlikely. For this reason I am toying with my options, one of which is as outlined in the career objective of Attachment 1. Coupled with that objective is a high motivation to make an early settlement in an area where a private school, on a day student basis, would be available for my 16 year old son, a sophomore in high school. Additional to this immediate personal consideration is the advantage which would accrue to me during his college years, if I were in the educational field.

In thinking about the above, I sorted out my Ph.D. friends and found that, in the main, they consist of yourself, DeWitt Clinton Armstrong, III, Larry Legere and Henry Kissinger, the latter more of an acquaintance. I felt someone, such as yourself and Kissinger, who had been over the route before, could more objectively advise me than anyone I knew. In the specific of Harvard University, my thoughts were structured around its prestige, size and heavy endowment. This latter point I felt important from the aspect of financial assistance through faculty or administrative employment during my student phase.

There is no urgency to any of this, Fritz, but I would appreciate an objective appraisal. I believe that my field of interest would be toward an inter-disciplinary effort in either international economics or lesser developed area assistance through a pursuit of studies in both business administration and political science. I visualize this type of program as an integration of weapon systems management experience, political-military experience and additional formal education.

Regardless of the result of your consideration, I will always appreciate your having given it some thought.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

Thank you for your very kind letter.

I have thought about your questions and my true purpose, and yesterday I had an opportunity to discuss both with Fritz, in Washington. Fritz reinforced my personal conclusion that actually I don't wish to study for a Ph.D. My age, the number of work years remaining to me, my interest in a more restricted study program and other factors led me to this conclusion.

Because of the above, I am reassessing my options with a view to emphasizing the value and application of my experience as against seeking more education. A precise answer, Doctor, is that at this time my choice of the three alternatives you mentioned is to work in a research foundation. I am going to explore what this means. I find that I am not sufficiently informed on the requirements and re- wards of foundation work as similarly I am uninformed of the advantages and disadvantages of many other activities not related to the military profession. This, therefore, must be my first task.

I would like to feel free to write you as I do become more certain and more practical with regard to my future. Should your contact with foundations or other organizations indicate opportunities for an individual with my background, I would appreciate your consciously remembering my potential. I will refine my background statement and include it in a later letter.

Again, Doctor, thank you very much for your interest and I hope I may, on a continuing basis, feel free to contact you.
