My Dear Henry:

You don't need any more people telling you what
you yourself have proclaimed for years -- that you are
the unique national, forgive me, global asset.

As I watched the extraordinary international media
focus on you, I must acknowledge that for a brief moment
I wondered whether I was experiencing your Nixonian
or is it Colsonian training in manufacturing "photo
opportunities". Presumably, however, there are limits.
Besides, you know and I know that my principal orienta-
tion is one of envy, particularly since I don't recall
anyone being seriously injured by the onrush of T.V.
cameras at the time of my surgical episode a few years
ago.

Your press conference was vintage Kissinger. The
only thing left for you to do is to reveal the results
of whatever hardness tests were done on your heart.
God, does Haig have a lot to learn from you -- on sub-
stance to be sure, but equally on style. So, as I
told you the other day, do take care of yourself.

The funny thing about all this is: You really
are a unique asset. I would simply suggest you choose
somewhat less dramatic ways of reminding all of us

P.S. The attached may amuse you on the subject of our
last telephone call.

Dear Henry:

For some time now I have been intending to
write you to send our best wishes. We were
very pleased to learn recently from Leonard
and Nickie Firestone that you had been
recovering in Palm Springs. I cannot think
of a more delightful area in which to
recuperate. Given the general climate of
our temporary residence in Brussels, you can
well appreciate the weather leaves one
mindful of what they are missing in that
magnificent desert oasis.

We have been reading with great interest the
excerpts of your new book in the recent issues
of Time and look forward to our consumption
of the entire work.

Carol joins in sending you and Nancy our very
best wishes.
