Dear Secretary Kissinger:

Thank you for your October 11th note. I don't plan to write again, but I did want you to know I'm going on the USSR payroll.

I have had a marvelous experience with the new Bureau of East-West Trade which Secretary Peterson set up to help effect our new policies vis-a-vis the socialist countries. But, as sometimes happens, I have been presented with an opportunity which I could not resist: senior vice-president of the new Joint US-USSR Trade and Economic Council which was set up pursuant to the protocol signed by Secretary Shultz and Foreign Trade Minister Patolichev. Don Kendall is Chairman and Harold Scott is President.

As chief of operations, I will set up the office in New York before moving to Moscow next year to do the same there. Susan has never been happier as legislative aid to Senator Hart, but she's a good sport and is looking forward to living in the Soviet Union for a couple of years.

I cannot say how very much I have admired and supported your policies these last few years. I do hope subsequent events make it possible for us to develop still more normal and regularized relations with the Soviets and others. As you know, I was almost the lawyer in the SALT talks and so finally I will have the opportunity to make my Russian fluent and get to know their way of operating firsthand.

Come see us in Moscow!

KISSINGER, HENRY

Dear Mr. Cook:

Just a short note to thank you for the care and attention you showed us yesterday. We have never had so smooth and enjoyable a visit to Disneyland and we believe that this especially pleasant visit we owe to you. Your thoroughness and attention to every detail were greatly appreciated and we enjoyed meeting you and having you with us. Thank you again.

Dear Bob:

Thank you for your letter of May 14, and I believe congratulations are in order. You did a great job while at Mitchell, Hutchins, and I'm very sure that Wertheim & Co., Inc. will greatly benefit from your talents. I send my best wishes to you in this respect.

I note you will be in Washington from May 30 to June 1 and would like to get together with me. Regretfully, I shall be out of town during that time period which, of course, prevents my being able to see you. I certainly would have enjoyed it if it were possible. Perhaps the next time you are here we can get together. Lets look forward to it.

Dear Henry:

As you can see from the letterhead, I have departed the "womb" at Mitchell, Hutchins (too many Democrats!) to come over to Wertheim & Co., Inc. where I am running the institutional sales department, as I did at M-H.

It was a wonderful experience for me and through all the bear and bull markets in the six years I was there, my fondest and most stimulating memories are of the trips we took together in that first one-and-a-half years.

At any rate, I know you're terribly busy as always but would love to come by for a few minutes and tell you about my new firm, what we're doing and all, and chat about our plans for the future.

I plan to be in Washington from Wednesday, May 30th through Friday, June 1st. I'm fairly tied up Thursday but if you're in town and can take a few minutes at any time during that period, I sure would like to get together with you.

Hope you're well.
