Dear Sir Robert:

I am writing to confirm my
recent telegram; that I will be pleased
to lecture to the Imperial Defence College
on Monday morning, June 20th. I would
be grateful if you could let me know as
soon as possible the approximate schedule
for that morning, as I would like to make
some appointments before departing for
Munich that afternoon. I will look forward
to hearing from you and to visiting the
College again.

With kind regards.

I am delighted to hear that you are able to come and talk to us
on "The Nuclear Deterrent and Limited War" on Monday, 20th June at 10.30am

We are making a study of the Philosophy of the Deterrent in July and
our speakers include the following:-

8th July "The Policy of the Deterrent"

Denis Healey, M.P.

14th July "Arms Control in Connection with the
Deterrent"

Alastair Buchan

15th July "Future Trends in Warfare"

Gen. Sir John Cowley.

and on 13th July a Nuclear Deterrent "Brains Trust" with a panel of
three experts - R. Goold-Adams, J. Fromm and Professor Blackett. The
period ends with a general discussion on the whole subject when student
syndicates will give their views on certain aspects of Nuclear
Deterrence.

Our normal practice is to have a lecture lasting about three-
quarters of an hour, followed after a short break for coffee by a
period of questions and discussion for about an hour.

I hope you will be able to stay on to luncheon afterwards, but you
could get away at 12.45 (or even earlier) if you have another engagement.

My dear Sir Robert:

It was with great regret that I had to wire you about my inability to visit with the Imperial Defence College. Some urgent business connected with the political situation in this country made it impossible for me to leave for Europe as planned.

I am now scheduled to leave on June 29th for London. If a tentative arrangement were possible, I could suggest either July 1st or July 4th to you. On the other hand, it is quite possible that I may have to cancel again. I do not know whether such a tentative arrangement would be agreeable to you and I could fully understand it if you felt it best to defer my visit until such situation were more certain. If you should wish me to come, however, I will make every effort to do so on one of the two dates I have mentioned. I would be very grateful if you could send me a telegram with your reply.

With kind regards and, again, my apologies for this
change in plans.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Alastair Buchan tells me that you will be over here in September for the annual conference of the Institute for Strategic Studies and I am wondering whether you could possibly find time to come and address the College. Last year's North American tour greatly appreciated their morning with you and I should very much like the whole of this year's Course to hear you if possible.

Our first study period in the Autumn Term is "Defence Philosophy" and the title which we have in mind for your talk is "United States Strategic Thinking". We hope that this is sufficiently broad for you to feel free to develop the subject as you wish.

Our procedure is very much the same as when you were here some years ago - a talk lasting about three-quarters of an hour followed after a short break by a discussion period of about an hour. There are 72 students this year including 24 from twelve overseas Commonwealth countries and 5 from the United States. They are of Brigadier or roughly equivalent rank in the Armed Services and Counsellor or comparable grades in the Civil Service. Their average age is about 45.

Our Autumn Term starts on 24th September and I should like to suggest the following day, 25th September, at 10.30 a.m. for your talk. I do hope that you will be able to come then but if that date is not convenient to you, I will gladly try to find another which suits you better.
