Dear Henry,

Before Christmas my driver tried in vain several times to deliver a letter with my best wishes for the New Year and with something for the holidays at your home. To my deep regret I heard about his failure only after the holidays and I hurry to express my best wishes for 1970 to you at least now and I may ask you to accept the attached liquid greetings from my country for minutes of relaxation from your heavy burden.

The contact with you was one of the most encouraging elements during my first year here in Washington and I look forward hopefully to continue it in 1970.

The Honorable
Henry A. Kissinger
Assistant to the President
The White House
Washington, D.C.

GERMAN EMBASSY
WASHINGTON, D. C.

January 24, 1973.

Let me congratulate you on your extraordinary achievement of bringing about a ceasefire in Vietnam which may well grow into a lasting peace settlement. In watching your press conference on TV today I could not help thinking, as I have often felt before, of the incredible strain and the many frustrations that were your share during the years of negotiations with so tough a counterpart, especially during those anguishing weeks where success seemed so near and yet threatened to evade you. You may be as sure of the sympathy and the admiration of every diplomat that ever had to deal with tough negotiators as you can be of mine.

The Honorable
Henry A. Kissinger,
Special Assistant to the President,
The White House,
Washington, D.C.

MEMORANDUM FOR DR. HENRY KISSINGER

FROM: RICHARD A. MOORE

George Putnam, a television and radio commentator who commands a large audience in Southern California, has been giving strong support to the President's policy in Vietnam, particularly in recent weeks (although he did not favor the China initiative).

He has sent me the enclosed reprint of Admiral Joy's book with the request that I forward it to you.

I have advised him that I have done so, but if you think a separate acknowledgment from your office is appropriate, his address is George Putnam, Television Station KTLA, 6800 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California 90028.
