Doctor Henry Kissinger

Washington, D.C.

Dear Doctor Kissinger,

You undoubtedly receive a great many letters from a great many
persons and, as we have never met, you must be puzzled at my
writing such a long note to you.

I want to ask you two questions: the first one, 'Are you a man
of great station and influence?', doesn't require an answer. If
you still are reading I am going to put the second question: if
you don't, then please skip the enclosures, the rest of this,
carry over to my signature, and burn it all without replying. I
hate letter-writing as much as I can and so, probably, do you. I
trust the Post sufficiently to know this must have reached your
office intact.

My real wish in writing is to ask your help in my securing
admission to Harvard College.

However, I believe an introduction is in order first: I, like
my father, am Bulgarian by birth. My mother is Polish. After
years of persecution in our native land we were fortunate to
escape and find refuge in this country. We settled here in late
1958. Until recently my father was employed by Radio Free Europe.
Unfortunately, with the scaling down of the operation last year,
he had to leave. My mother is senior technician in the electro-
cardiology department of Misericordia Hospital in the Bronx. On
the fourth of June, while Mr. Edward Finch Cox was taking his
Harvard Law finals, (as someday I hope to do) I received my
diploma from Trinity School in New York City (as he did in 1964).

From the enclosures you can see that I have the support of
His Majesty Simeon II and, recently, of the Bulgarian National
Front, the only organization representing the Bulgarian minority
in the United States, in my application to Harvard. Both His
Majesty and they share the hope that I will attend Harvard. I
suspect the reason my application was originally refused was
because of an accompanying need for substantial financial aid.
The failure of the subsequent attempt to gain admission following
the Front's kind offer was, I believe, the very great reluctance
of any institution to rescind a decision, even in a single instance.

This all has left me in a curious dilemma: as the offer of
scholarship is specifically for use at Harvard (this cannot be
changed) and as I lack sufficient funds to go elsewhere (I have
been admitted to several other prominent universities, though
with insufficient aid), unless Harvard can be moved to reverse
its decision, it is very very doubtful, indeed impossible, that
I will be able to attend college this coming year, if at all.

It is for this reason that I seek your help, Doctor Kissinger.
To counteract my lack of alumni reference, I invoked His Majesty
Simeon II's recommendation. To eliminate the need for financial
aid, I found the necessary funds. Now, somehow, Harvard must
admit me. In this, Doctor Kissinger, you are my last, my only
hope. Not only is this so because of your political stature, but
moreover, because of your eminence as one of Harvard's most
successful graduates. It is the policy of the Bulgarian king that
young men of Bulgarian birth receive training in this country's
oldest and most prestigious college for the purpose of maintaining
well-educated cadres in the event that someday Bulgaria will be
freed and the king will return. I hope you will help me now as
you have helped others in the past.

If you wish to meet me personally I should be most happy to
come to Washington whenever you say and see you at your convenience.

With many apologies, I am

Dear Doctor Kissinger:

Mr. Zoltan Tomory who has applied for position of Director of the Budget for the Health Sciences Center Campus of The University of Oklahoma has given your name as reference while he was in the employ of the Harvard University Center for International Affairs as Executive Officer. I would appreciate it if you would be willing to respond to the qualifications, personality, technical abilities and performance for the aforedescribed position.

The University of Oklahoma is a multi-campus institution -- Norman, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City. The academic units of the Health Sciences Center Campus consists of the University Library, The College of Medicine, Graduate College of Medicine, College of Nursing, Graduate College of Nursing, College of Allied Health and Health Professions, a new College of Dentistry and a planned Graduate College of Dentistry. The Health Sciences Center Campus needs an individual who is both dedicated and highly knowledgeable in systems and systems analysis along with a knowledge of computer. I joined The University of Oklahoma last October as the Associate Vice President for this campus and we are not locked into old methods.

Any comments you would care to make in behalf of this candidate will be appreciated and I am quite cognizant of your extraordinarily busy schedule.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Enclosed is a copy of the 1970 Rockefeller Public Service Award announcement. Additional copies are available on request.

As you know, we depend primarily for nominations on the agencies' routine machinery for recognizing distinction among their career officials. However, we also welcome nominations of career officials from any knowledgeable persons, whether or not they are in the same agency as their nominee, and even if the nominee's agency is itself not nominating him.

I urge you to read the somewhat revised descriptions of the five broad fields into which we have divided all government activity (see pp. 2-3). I hope that doing so will bring deserving individuals to your mind.

If you personally, or your agency wishes to renominate someone, the Committee will also welcome that help. A letter renominating someone need not be detailed, but merely long enough to bring the nominee's career up to date. Only by seeking a constant flow of sound nominations can the program maintain the distinction of its selections as reflected in the roster of previous recipients (see pp. 6-8).

For the Committee, I thank you for your cooperation. Please note the 30 April deadline.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Some years back, while I was still at Harvard, you were good enough to
recommend me for one or two openings for researchers in the National
Security area. Since then, I have been teaching Twentieth Century
American Diplomatic History at West Point, while on active duty with the
Army. I will be leaving the service this June and have been planning to
return to teaching but would also like to inquire into the possibility of
working for the government in a related field.

I am writing you in the hope that you will pass this letter, along with
the accompanying *Vita* to your personnel officer. To the rather general
*Vita* I would want to add only two other entries. The first is that in
the National Security field, my primary area of interest is North Atlantic
(which I have taught in seminar). The second observation is that you might
approach my former Department Chairman, General George A. Lincoln, for
recommendations as well as Colonel Amos A. Jordan (Professor and Head of
the Department of Social Sciences, West Point) and Dean Ernest R. May
(Harvard), my former graduate advisor. Letters of recommendation are also
on file at the Harvard Appointment Office.

Though it might be at a lower level, the possibility of participating in, as
well as describing, the foreign policy process is intriguing. I look forward
to hearing from your office.

Creative Public Service

What constitutes the essential qualities of greatness in the public service? I believe the essential qualities we seek—and acclaim—are threefold. The first is courage—the mark of a man who, quite simply, is fearless in measuring and meeting the challenge of his office. He has integrity of intellect and spirit. His sense of security rests, not upon the coveted approbation of others, but upon his own awareness of doing his best—for its own sake. His sense of what is right is more sharp and keen than his sense of what is expedient. His counsel is candid: it consists of what he believes, not what he believes someone wishes to hear. He cares more for the advancement of an idea—or principle—than the advancement of himself.

Beside this faculty of courage stands a second basic quality—sensitivity. This tempers and mellows the kind of raw courage that could, by itself, be insular or arrogant. It denotes a capacity to listen as well as to talk. It signifies a readiness to learn as well as to instruct. It shuns sheer vanity of opinion. It gives respect to the opinion of others as open and honest as the respect one wishes for one's own beliefs or decisions. It means, in short, humility. And this is a virtue singularly appropriate to a democracy, in which no one man—and no one way of doing things—is presumed to be utterly, exclusively right.

Third and finally, there is—vision. This vision demands—and combines—the intelligence to discern the far horizons in one's life and work, and the resolve to strive toward them. Such discernment and such resolve must rest upon a clear awareness of past, present, and future. For the past a sense of history is wanted—to know the source and meaning of the basic values of national life. For the present, a sense of perspective is wanted—to detect every challenge to these values, as well as their relevance to the issues and problems of the day. And for the future, a sense of mission is needed—a realistic dedication, so that the work of each day helps to assure the preservation of these values for generations to come. Only by so full a vision as this—and by so firm a dedication—is the heritage of a whole people guarded and enriched.

Courage, sensitivity, vision: these, I believe, are the qualities that make for greatness in men who serve the people. . . .

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER 3rd, December 1962.

The Rockefeller Public Service Awards will be given annually to men and women whose careers in the Federal Government have been marked by sustained excellence in service to the Nation. Normally five awards will be given each year; one each in five broad fields of government activity:

**Administration:** Activities, at home or abroad, involved in the policy leadership, planning, or management of one or more complex programs or organizations; or staff work or support services of extraordinary quality provided to one or more program administrators or to one or more organizations.

**Foreign Affairs or International Operations:** Activities, at home or abroad, involving this country's international affairs whether in planning, policy formulation, or program management and execution. Such activities are *not* limited to traditional diplomacy, but may relate to international security affairs; or to international cultural or educational affairs; or to developmental affairs such as economic aid or technical assistance; or to international communications and understanding; or to any combination of the varied aspects of the relations of the United States and its people with the nations and peoples of the world or any part of the world.

**The General Welfare or National Resources:** Activities involved in policy leadership, planning, development, or management of programs concerned with strengthening the Nation's human resources or its natural resources, or of safeguarding or bettering the conditions of life for the American people. These activities, often in the general area of the social sciences, may relate to the total level of economic and social well-being of the Nation or to such important components of it as the education, health, housing, work, recreation, transportation, or safety of persons. Or they might relate, in the areas of the social or physical sciences, to the proper use or replenishment of the Nation's natural resources or to the protection or improvement of man's physical environment.

2

[LC]

**Law, Legislation, or Regulation:** Activities in the executive or legislative branches or in the independent regulatory agencies involved in the development, interpretation, application, or enforcement of legislation, rules, or regulations.

**Science, Technology, or Engineering:** Activities involved in the Government's use of, or aid to, science, technology or engineering. Such activities may be those involved in distinguished research and development, but they may also include policy leadership, planning, coordinating or managing programs in these areas by persons who are not themselves scientists or engineers. Science, as implied in this field, includes the biological, medical or physical sciences. Technology and engineering, as implied in this field, include any aspect of the application of science in or to public affairs, or the use of the practical or industrial arts by government.

## Purpose

The purpose of the program is to strengthen the public service by bringing special recognition annually to a small number of truly distinguished civilians in the Federal Government, and to improve the public image of government service as a career worthy of the best efforts of our most capable citizens. It is hoped that this recognition will inspire those so honored further to strengthen the public service by passing on to others some of the fruits of their career experience, and to carry on in their own careers with renewed dedication and enthusiasm.

For these reasons, though the persons thus honored are at or near the pinnacles of their careers, it is anticipated that they will not be considering imminent retirement.

In recognition of outstanding individual accomplishments and to further public awareness of the degree to which excellence exists in the civilian career services of the Federal Government, an award of $10,000 will be given in each of the five broad fields of government activity.

3

[LC]

## Eligibility

Nominations for the awards shall be made from among civilian men and women in the employ of the Federal Government, either in the executive or legislative branch, who have performed truly outstanding service to the Nation. The Committee particularly invites nominations of persons who, because of the nature of their work or the geographic location of their posts would not readily come to public attention.

Normally candidates shall have been in the employ of the Federal Government for a minimum of 15 years and shall not be over 60 years old. These awards are designed to honor "career service." Federal employees serving by Presidential appointment in non-career positions are eligible for the award only if it is apparent from their records that they achieved their present posts through demonstrated distinction and extended service in career positions.

## Nominating Procedure

Any past or present employee of the Federal Government may nominate a candidate other than himself, a member of his family, or one of his superiors for a Rockefeller Public Service Award simply by writing the Committee on Selection. The Committee also invites nominations from persons not previously or presently employed by the Federal Government but who, because of their work or interests, are well informed about some phase of public service.

Nominating letters must contain a full and factual explanation and justification for the nomination. They must emphasize the nominee's past accomplishments and his future potential. The nominator should indicate the "field" he considers most appropriate for his nominee, for example because it is the current area of his work, or because his greatest contributions seem to have been made in that field, etc. It should be noted, however, that a nominee's activities need not have been confined entirely to one of these fields throughout his career service.

4

These letters should also include the names of four other persons who know the candidate and/or his work intimately, and who are both competent and willing to support his candidacy upon inquiry by the Committee. The nominee need not know that he has been nominated until the Committee communicates with him. If the nominator so desires, the nominee will not be informed of the identity of the person nominating him.

All nominators should know that the Committee on Selection reserves the right to consult, with respect to particular nominations, with leaders in the Government (including the nominee's agency head) to obtain their opinions and other pertinent evidence.

## Administration

The program is made possible through personal contributions to Princeton by Mr. John D. Rockefeller 3rd, an alumnus and, for thirty years, Charter Trustee of the University. It is administered as a national trust by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University.

A Committee on Selection, made up of prominent citizens, will review nominations and will recommend to the Trustees of the University the nominee it considers best qualified in each "field." The final awards will be made by the Trustees of the University.

Nominations for the 1970 awards should reach Princeton anytime prior to April 30, 1970. It is anticipated that an announcement of the awards will be made in the autumn of 1970.

Communications should be addressed to:

Dear Henry:

I have proposed, and Thomas Hamilton of the New York Times has seconded my proposal, that Seymour Topping, Assistant Managing Editor of the New York Times, be considered and admitted to membership in the Century Association. It is a great pleasure and honor for me to propose him. According to the practices of the Century, as you know, it is customary to ask friends of the candidate to send in supporting letters. I would greatly appreciate it, and I know that Seymour Topping would, too, if you could write to the admissions committee your support and endorsement for his becoming a member.

As both Tom Hamilton and I said in our letters, Seymour Topping would add a great deal to the Century's good fellowship and exchange in the art of good conversation. Perhaps to fill in some of the details of his career, I am enclosing a biographical sketch.

Thanking you very much in advance, although I know you are terribly busy and pressed. With best wishes,

Encl.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF SEYMOUR TOPPING, ASSISTANT MANAGING
EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES

When Mr. Topping joined The Times in 1959, he had had 13 years' experience as a foreign correspondent. Following his service as an infantry captain in the Pacific in World War II, he went to Peking in 1946 for the International News Service.

He covered civil wars in Manchuria and North China and, as Associated Press correspondent in 1948 and 1949, reported the fall of Nanking to the Communists.

In 1950 and 1951, Mr. Topping headed the Associated Press war staff in Indochina. He went to London in 1952 to cover diplomatic news in London and on the Continent. In 1956, he was transferred to Berlin. He was chief of the A.P. bureau there when he resigned to join The Times.

Mr. Topping served briefly on The Times' metropolitan staff, then became Chief Moscow Correspondent in the spring of 1960. Three years later, The Times assigned him to Hong Kong. As chief correspondent in the Far East, he covered many countries, including Vietnam.

On September 19, 1966, Mr. Topping was appointed Foreign Editor of The New York Times. On September 1, 1969, he was appointed Assistant Managing Editor.

Mr. Topping was born in New York on December 11, 1921. Upon graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in 1943, he immediately entered the Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Ga.

He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Sigma Delta Chi. In 1968, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.

Mr. Topping is married to the former Miss Audrey Elaine Ronning, whose father, Chester A. Ronning, served as Canadian Ambassador to Norway and India and who, in 1966, made two diplomatic peace missions to Hanoi on behalf of his government. Mrs. Topping is a sculptress. The Toppings have five daughters.
