The Hon. Henry Kissinger
Secretary of State
Department of State
Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

The House of Representatives, by House Resolution 803, 93rd Congress, directed the Committee on the Judiciary to investigate fully and completely whether sufficient grounds exist for the impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon.

The Committee anticipates that in the course of discharging this responsibility it will be necessary for the members of the staff of the Committee, as well as Members of the Committee itself, to have access to documents and information within the custody or control of the Department of State which have been classified as national security information or material. Therefore, without expressing any view as to whether in the present circumstances these clearances are legally required, the Committee does request your cooperation in obtaining top secret security clearances for the members of our staff listed on the attachment.

The Committee wishes to conclude the present inquiry as promptly as the requirement of thoroughness will permit. Thus, we would appreciate your expediting any clearance investigations as may be

The Hon. Henry Kissinger

appropriate with respect to the individuals named, and we also
ask that you arrange interim clearances for each of them pending
completion of the investigations. We would likewise be grateful
for any assistance that you might render us in obtaining clearances
for them regarding matters, such as intelligence activities, which
may not be covered by the clearances herein requested.

In order further to expedite completion of all necessary clearance
procedures, please be advised that the Committee is also request-
ing the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency
to grant appropriate security clearances to the same individuals.

# SHE PAINTS THE 'GREATS'

## Gets $5,000
For Portrait

By SHARLENE SCHOP

"The most revealing feature of a person is his or her mouth. I try to paint the essence of a person, not just a photographic copy."

That is how Mrs. Margaret McDonald Phillips, of 35-55 78th st., Jackson Heights, a professional portraitist, explains her success.

A painter since the age of 3, Mrs. Phillips has exhibited paintings all over the world.

Her portrait of Prince Andrew of Great Britain's Royal Family hangs in Balmoral Castle in England. The United Nations commissioned her to paint Mme. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, former president of the General Assembly. That portrait hung in the living room of her brother, the late Prime Minister Nehru of India.

"He wrote to tell me how much he liked it," Mrs. Phillips said proudly.

She charges $3,000 a portrait, and $5,000 for a full-length painting. She limits herself to two paintings a year. "So there won't be too many around," she said.

When the King of Saudi Arabia brought his daughter here a few years ago, he commissioned Mrs. Phillips to do a portrait of her.

"While I was painting the Princess, two men with real daggers stood on both sides of her during the whole time. They weren't the kind of daggers they use in the movies either."

Petite and dark with intense eyes and an easy-going manner, Mrs. Phillips is recognized by "Who's Who of American Women," London's Royal So-

MARGARET PHILLIPS

ciety of Arts and the East-hampton Guild.

One of her most famous portraits of Jacqueline Cochrane, the American Aviatrix, was voted "most outstanding picture of 1955."

At the mention of Miss Cochrane's name, she launched into a discourse on the illustrious career of her subject, the first woman to break the sound barrier.

"I never use more than five sittings for any portrait, but I really get to know the person because I talk to them the whole time I'm painting," she said.

Her portraits of women are painted "for beauty and decorative quality, unless they have excelled in a certain career. But, a portrait of a man should reflect character and strength."

Another of her well-known works is a religious painting, "The Ascension." She worked on it eight hours a day for five months.

"It was something I felt. It just came to me."

"I wouldn't sell it to just anyone," she confided. However she finally sold it to Francis Cardinal Spellman and it now hangs above the Muns' alter in Good Council College, White Plains.

Mrs. Phillips prides herself in being a "traditionalist." But, the pressure on artists to swing

## Calls Herself
'Traditionalist'

to modern paintings' disturbs her.

"The large number of amateurs who are being exhibited confuse the public. Anyone can learn to paint, that's craftsmanship. The artist sees something in an unusual way and communicates that to the public."

"Anyone with $2,000 can have an exhibit. In many galleries, this is merely a real estate transaction," she said.

To preserve the tradition of academic art, she founded the "fifty American artists," a society where members are selected solely on the basis of their works. No amateur or hobby painters are considered.

In 1953, her fellow artists elected her permanent President of the Society.

Mrs. Phillips enjoys telling her favorite story of her more than 30 years as an artist.

Several years ago, she was commissioned to do a portrait of a white persian cat as a Christmas present for its owner's husband.

"I had never painted pets before, but I decided to give it a try, despite the fact that the cat weighed 30 pounds."

A passer by noticed the picture as it hung in a Manhattan gallery and arranged for reproduction rights. Some 50,000 copies of the print have been sold in the United States, England, France, Belgium and Africa and the cat is now one of the world's most viewed felines.

At present, Mrs. Phillips is working on "The Emotions of Mankind," a set of eight huge murals depicting the basic emotions of man.

"I've been working on it for three years I figure I have to least seven more to go."

Washington, D.C. 20520

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Will you please send an 8 x 10 photograph inscribed to "Ed Henry, a good citizen who is helping the image of the United States in Central America" or similar wording.

These are the facts and reason for the request. Ed Henry is a close personal friend who was a partner of my nephew, Jeff Shaw, who was killed in an automobile accident near Guadalajara last week. Ed and Jeff were engaged in the development of an agricultural project in Quepos, Costa Rica. After their graduation from college five years ago, they started purchasing land and clearing it for the planting of tropical fruits and vegetables.

Their schedule of working 15 hours a day, seven days a week for five straight years demonstrated to the local residents that the "Ugly American" concept did not apply to these two fine young men who paid better wages to the native employees and who showed them how to convert a jungle undergrowth into productive terrain so they could raise their own food. They were a two-man Peace Corps and became very popular among the Costa Ricans from high government officials to peasant farmers.

I shall appreciate it if you would address the photograph to Ed in care of his parents who will forward it to him:

Mr. Edward Henry
c/o Dr. & Mrs. William Henry

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

As I wrote you last September, the Commission has
arranged with the Lexington Books Division of D. C. Heath
and Company to publish our background studies and reports of
the panels.

I am delighted to let you know that our first book is
now in print. HOW OTHERS SEE US by Lloyd A. Free is the
first of fourteen volumes to be published under the series
title, Critical Choices for Americans. The remaining
thirteen volumes are scheduled for publication throughout
this calendar year.

Each volume in the series will be mailed to you direct
upon publication by the publisher. I would appreciate it if
you would let me know if you do not receive the Lloyd Free
volume after an appropriate interval.

I know you share my enthusiasm and satisfaction that
the Commission's activities are concluding with such an
ambitious publishing program. The work of over one hundred
twenty distinguished people is represented in the volumes.
I believe the series will be a significant contribution to
the thoughtful and forward-looking decisions we need to make
as a nation. These volumes would not have been possible
without your dedication and support of the Commission's
work. It is a contribution in which we can all take great
pride.

My Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I am writing in the hope that you will permit us to include your name among the Honorary Sponsors of the 66th Anniversary Celebration of the Family Service Association of America, to be held at the opening night performance of the Stuttgart Ballet at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York on June 14, 1977.

Since its founding in 1911, the Family Service Association has been our nation's spokesman for family life. It is the only national volunteer organization devoted entirely to the improvement of services for families. Its philosophy is based on the belief that only within the framework of stable family life can the character and productivity of our country be shaped for the better. These are the goals and objectives of the Family Service Association of America.

As you will note from the enclosed, the Family Service Association of America is the national accrediting and standard setting federation of more than 300 inter-racial and interdenominational, non-profit family agencies directly serving more than two million people annually. Several million more people are reached through its national programs of education and information. Its pioneering services have helped to improve the quality of family life, alleviate the pain of family stress and enable families to help themselves.

We are proud of the 66 year old history of the FSAA and because your public life has been devoted to strengthening family life we earnestly hope that we may list your name as an Honorary Sponsor of our 66th Anniversary Celebration. Your acceptance implies no obligation except to add your name to those distinguished men and women who have already agreed to join in this salute to the Family Service Association of America.

With deepest appreciation, I am
