Dear Henry,

Many thanks for your letter of 19 April. I have arranged
for the enclosed copies of your book to be forwarded to
the Prime Minister and Mr Callaghan.

May I take this opportunity to wish you well on your visit
to London next month. I know people in London are looking

I hope you will not hesitate to be in touch if there is
anything I can do to help prior to your departure.

Dear Henry:

Thank you for sharing with me your thoughts as recently expressed in your address on Strategy, Trade, and the Atlantic Alliance at the Hague.

Your lecture was rich in food for thought and forthright in suggesting a clear course for dealing with some of the most urgent problems our Western societies face at the present time. I am certain your voice will be heard in our countries, and I know it will weigh in when the NATO Governments will take some crucial decisions in the near future.

With warm personal regards,

Sincerely yours,

My Dear Mr. Kissinger:

NOV 09 1982

I met with President Lopez Portillo a few weeks ago to discuss the many problems that Mexico faces at this time in particular tourism to Mexico. I also met with Dra. Luz Alegria of the Secretaria de Turismo for the purpose of discussing tourism.

After my conversation with President Portillo last week, at which time he asked me to help him in his appeal for solidarity, I made an appeal to the Yom Kipur for thousands of people in the Jewish Community and they responded with great enthusiasm. I also spoke to the Lebanese Community and other ones and I hope that everybody will respond. I am planning a visit to the United States and Canada to help tourism in Mexico and to try to erase the rumors about Mexico. In the name of the World Organization for Peace and Freedom I will mention Mexico as a country of peace and freedom and to stop all the rumors that bring only destruction of peace and freedom.

I would like to ask you to please help tourism because tourism is a great help to peace and freedom because when people visit another country it is not only for business but it is also for greater understanding and where there is understanding there is peace and freedom. Also, when a country is in trouble economically, people shouldn't stay away because of rumors because they hurt the country and it brings misunderstandings. By hurting a country economically you may push away the country in different directions and as Juarez said, respecting the other is peace. And the rumors that Central America has an influence upon Mexico, I feel differently. Mexico has an influence upon Central American Countries that have not accepted Communism and Dictatorship.

Let us join hands with the Government of Mexico to work together for peace and freedom throughout Latin America.

My Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I hope that you are working very hard for peace and freedom nationally and internationally. I would like to express very much my feelings about the war between Israel and Lebanon especially since I just came back from Israel and Lebanon where I carried out a March for peace in the name of our Organization of World Peace and Freedom.

This war that Israel started against Lebanon under the name "The Peace of the Galil" can bring hope for real peace not only between Israel and Lebanon but also between other Arab neighbor states. Unfortunately, there is no doubt that in such a situation as exists in Lebanon, no government can succeed to lead the country because there are so many organizations, political and religious. They don't understand each other or they don't want to understand each other and therefore how can you succeed to organize one body for peaceful government.

I would like to mention at this point that the best war is worst than a bad peace. War is not a solution to the problems that involve the Middle East. It is shocking to see that so many people are killed. In my opinion it is possible to have peace in the Middle East. Israel wants peace, Lebanon wants peace and by coming together face to face peace will come. The whole world is crying about the massacre of the Palestinian camps in Beirut. We are all shocked to hear that so many people, mothers and children were killed so ruthlessly but I don't understand why we are shocked only about this tragedy. Why not be shocked when so many thousands and thousands in Lebanon were killed so ruthlessly by the Palestinians. Is the blood of the Christian people not so important and valuable like the Palestinians' and also when mothers and children were killed in Kiriath Shimona and when the mothers begged the Palestinians to kill them and let alive the children and they killed the children and the mothers also. For that reason I

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

As a college student doing research for a small publication on foreign affairs at the University of Iowa, and particularly on the subject of disarmament, I came across your thesis work on the issue and was immediately struck with the power of both your prose and thought. Such work, particularly in a thesis, is rare; while I have understood your effort in the past its application so early in your career seemed to me almost awesome.

Having studied the disarmament process and familiar with your great influence upon it, as well as your influence in so many aspects of diplomacy we can only begin to judge, and familiar with your work in helping students of diplomatic history, I am asking you to help me in a humble effort. In putting out my small publication on foreign affairs, containing opinions both of the uninitiated and those who make policy, I am disadvantaged. I have no access to those with the kind of insight your thesis demonstrates. I have no access to those with your experience, your knowledge of leadership and your powerful writing. Most of all I have no access to the kind of unique leader, a leader of this century, that you have proven to be.

What I am asking is that you write a short piece of any length--on any topic related to foreign affairs, leadership, past event, reflection on the world outlook--that you could possibly provide. My publication is non-profit, aimed at the widest distribution among students and faculty at the University of Iowa; it is sponsored by the Department of Honors and its director Professor Marshall. My gain from your contribution would be only the enlightenment of a vast number of students and a wider interest in the process of foreign affairs, something you surely agree is very crucial.

If you could agree to such a piece I would print it in entirely in any form you feel would be most effective. I know of your great understanding of foreign affairs; I also know of what greater access students could have to that understanding and how much it could mean to them. You have so much to contribute to that effort.

If you could let me know as soon as possible, or whenever your thought allows, I would greatly appreciate it. Until then I hope your contribution by example to peace can serve, and will serve, as a singular lesson for us all.

William P. Clark

for National Security Affairs

Dear Mr. Clark:

I heard recently that you may be making some personnel
changes at the National Security Council in order to
strengthen it so it can more fully carry out its func-
tions in serving the President, as it has in the past.
I served on the NSC staff on detail from the State
Department for nearly three years (1970-72) under
Dr. Kissinger, and found it an exciting and satisfying
assignment. I would be very much interested in re-
joining the staff if an appropriate slot were available.
I visited Dr. Kissinger in Boston after his recent
operation, and he said he planned to be talking with
you and would mention my interest.

My primary area of interest is Latin America, but there
are a number of other areas in which I could work as
well. I am enclosing a brief resume. I am scheduled
to leave Madrid this summer and would be available in
September.

Dear Henry:

Since your departure, you continue to figure in the Spanish press, which foresees a busy future for you. Today there are several stories in the wake of your meeting with Secretary Shultz suggesting that you may be appointed as a Special Negotiator on the Middle East. Last week a number of papers carried stories to the effect that you engaged in private meetings with a number of people during your stay here designed to secure the 1986 World Cup for the United States. I am enclosing a rough translation of one of these articles, which gives the flavor of the others. It all seems rather far-fetched to me, but that never discourages the Spanish press.

In my earlier letter, I indicated how much I would like working for you again. It would be great fun to help organize a World Cup if, in fact, you are moving in this direction, and my experience negotiating with Latins might be useful to you in a role as Executive Secretary of an organizing committee or some such.

THE UNITED STATES, THE CANDIDATE

While Joao Havelange keeps his word to defend the candidacy of Colombia to organize the 1986 World Cup, the FIFA, of which he is the President as they well know, is moving heaven and earth to force the Colombians to decline definitively before December. That will be when the highest council of football will make its final decision on the subject.

Colombia is not in condition to organize the 1986 World Cup. The principal problem is not to attract 24 countries or to prepare ten or more sites, but in the total lack of telecommunications infrastructure. This cannot be improvised in four years, and much less if the Government is not prepared to face the enormous economic cost that this implies in such a short time.

Therefore, other aspirants are putting forth their bids for the 1986 World Cup, including Brazil, Mexico and the United States. In reality, there is only one and that is the country of Henry Kissinger. The FIFA is tending to favor the USA because Mexican and Brazilian bids are likely to come to grief. On the eve of the final game of the recent World Cup, there was a dinner in Madrid between Havelange, Neuberger, Kissinger, and two representatives of the Coca-Cola Company of the U.S. What was the object? It is easy to imagine; to organize a World Cup in 1986 between the northern states of the U.S. and Canada. There is money and business enough, and very little to spend.

Dear Henry:

It was splendid seeing you once again in Madrid, and I hope
you enjoyed both Spain and the football. If there are any
loose ends from your trip that need looking after, have
Susan McFarland get in touch with me. I will be glad to
clean them up.

I very much appreciate your willingness to speak to Secretary Shultz on my behalf when you see him. I have nothing against the Panama job as such, but it offers little in the way of a shot at higher level responsibilities. I would be happy with a good DCM job overseas, or perhaps something on the Seventh Floor of the Department if Mr. Shultz has not completed his staff. (The DCM job in Panama is opening up and would be preferable to the Counselor's position.)

I was also quite sincere when I said that working for you
was the most exciting and satisfying period in my career,
and I would jump at the chance of doing so again. I also
think I might have a good deal to offer you should you
formalize your consulting business. I have 25 years of
experience in Latin Europe and Latin America, speak most of
the languages, and I do not believe I have any peer as a
political and risk analyst in this sphere. Having worked
for you before, I know what you expect in terms of judgment,
discretion, and excellence of product, and I believe I could
function well as your emissary at all necessary levels. I
also have some thoughts on how an international consulting
business should work. Let me know if you are interested.

Even if I can't work for you, I am nonetheless interested
