MEMO FOR HAK

FROM: Rosemary

SUBJECT: NSDD 84 on Protecting National Security, Information - Letters to You

I want to check with you two items you have seen in your daily mail which were sent to me for staffing. Both concern the controversial Reagan Directive (84) on protecting national security information from disclosure, one element of which will in effect crimp the style of former government officials in writing about their experiences.

At Tab A is the (form) letter from Don Edwards and Pat Schroeder asking specific questions about how you proceeded on your memoirs (questions 3 and 4 specifically). They hope you will provide written answers which will be "valuable in the preparation of our report." No telling whom else they have sent this to.

At Tab B is a "Dear Henry" letter from Townsend Hoopes who has been active (and sought your support) in trying to form a front of former government officials to publicly oppose the Reagan directive. It arrived just as you were departing for Acapulco so you couldn't really do anything about his request for your support of a public statement to be issued February 20 (I do not recall reading anything in the papers about such a statement).

My feeling is that you do nothing about either of these letters and just wait. Do you agree?

✓ yes ____ no

Alternatively, do you want me to try drafting something to put you on the offensive with Edwards and Schroeder??

Do you want a "Dear Tim" letter to Hoopes which would merely ask him to keep you informed (while not offering support)? ____

I spoke to Kurt Lamm and gushed about the "miracle" he had achieved -
how happy and grateful HAK was, etc.

There is a small quid pro quo: he wanted HAK to write a letter to Gene Edwards before the July 4 election - he gave me the gist of what the letter should say. I said that he wouldn't be back in time to have HAK sign anything and said we would get his approval of the draft by phone and then either forge his signature or send a telegram. He said fine.

Dear Gene:

Although I am out of the country it has come to my attention that
you are running for reelection as President of the U.S. Soccer
Federation. You have done an outstanding job and I hope you will
be able to continue in that capacity. You have my full support and
best wishes for success.

Dear Henry:

I have had a chance to read the Report of the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America. It strikes me as a good document, although I must admit that I have doubts about our policy toward the whole Central America area. I wish I were convinced that vast infusions of economic aid would help a great deal to stabilize the area. Unfortunately, I am not so convinced, partly because in my experience anything that has to be handled by AID is clumsily done. I fear that the same situation will apply to anything AID handles in Central America.

John Silber has told me that you are still willing to speak here at Boston University. I would, of course, be delighted to have you come. I leave it to you, however, to decide what time might be most convenient to you. I would need about three weeks' advance notice in connection with publicity.

One final point on another matter, I am absolutely appalled at this Administration's inept Middle East policy. All of the work that you and, subsequently, Cy Vance did to make some progress on Middle East peace is, in my judgment, being unravelled by the foolishness of the people now in office. I am a man of enormous tolerance for the foibles of secretaries of state, as you know from personal experience, but your friend, George Shultz, is really unbelievably shortsighted in everything that he has done in the Middle East. Can't you give him a few words of instruction or suggest to him that he ought to go home to Bechtel! We have not had such an ineffective and thoughtless Secretary of State for years.

Helen joins me in sending you and Nancy our warm regards.

APR 18 1983

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Several months ago Bill Simon and Cy Vance wrote you to determine
your opinion on a Constitutional amendment that we are proposing
for a single six-year Presidential term.

There are currently 18 members of the Committee for a Single
Six-Year Presidential Term who have shared the distinction of a
Cabinet role. They are joined by the following sentiment, voiced
so well by Herbert Brownell two years ago at the University Club
in New York:

"I have always felt that our system couldn't operate without
the efforts of the Cabinet members who come into the admini-
stration virtually as volunteers and carry on so much of the
important work...I think there has been nothing more discour-
aging over the years to these volunteers who are essential to
our welfare than to see their carefully laid plans on foreign
policy or domestic policy or whatever subordinated so soon
and so fast to overriding political considerations."

We believe that by relieving the pressures of reelection from both
the President and those who serve closest to him, the single six-year
term would allow necessary and important decisions to be carried out
without being shunted aside for political considerations.

The view of all those who have served at the Cabinet level are
important to the debate inspired by the proposal. I am writing to
ask that you take time to register your opinion on the enclosed
card. If you are in favor of the proposal, I hope that you will
join our National Organizing Committee. I enclose a list of its
distinguished members as well as an article which appeared last
summer on the issue in the *New York Times Magazine*.

The Honorable W. Willard Wirtz, former Secretary of Labor

Woodrow Wilson, in
arguing against a single
term, wrote that four years
is 'too long for a President
who is not the true
spokesman of the people...
too short for a President
who is doing or attempting a
great work of reform.'

Lyndon Johnson, however,
felt that 'if a fellow knew...
that he had a definite
limitation and the bell's
going to ring at a certain
time he might be able to
tackle some of the problems
he's inclined to postpone.'

"The Twilight of the Presi-
dency" that single-term
proposals are "based on the
belief that a President's au-
thority is somehow separable
from his political leadership.
The reality is quite differ-
ent. A President whose politi-
cal leadership is unchal-
lenged can do just about any-
thing that he wishes. A Presi-
dent whose political leader-
ship has suffered from ero-
sion is virtually helpless."
Separating him from the
pressures of the public, Mr.
Reedy wrote, would only
"tend to make him an ineffec-
tual voice issuing orders and
decrees...."

Clark Clifford once said
that he found "the notion that
a President should be above
politics inconsistent with our
system of government, just
as I find the prospect of a
Presidential dictator to be in-
conceivable under the same
system. ... Politics, in the
final analysis, is an essential
part of democracy. A Presi-
dent above politics is a Presi-
dent remote from the pro-
cesses of government and re-
moved from the thoughts and
aspirations of his people."

Beyond these points against
the single six-year term, I
would raise several other ar-
guments and questions:

* Shouldn't the people have the right to re-elect a President of whom they approve? And doesn't the 22d Amendment merely limit this right rather than abolish it, as the single six-year term would do?

* A President would not himself be on the ballot in any of the biennial elections during his six years in office. Wouldn't this diminish his sense of accountability as well as the public's ability to influence him?

* One-third of the Senate would have to run in Presidential election years; two-thirds never would have to do so. What effect would this have on a President's political support?

* Given a President's extraordinary powers as Commander in Chief of the armed forces, isn't it risky to entrust him with such powers for six full years with no remedy for abuse save the difficult impeachment process?

* Even if a six-year term would be an improvement on four, is it necessary to insist that an incumbent can't be re-elected? France, with its seven-year term, has no such limitation. Mexico does, but it's not apparent that its six-year term provides a more stable government than the United States' system.

* Most supporters of the six-year proposal also favor term limitations on members of Congress — 12 years for members of each house. They're too smart to push for that while the Presidential proposal is pending, but isn't this distant threat likely to deter Congress from acting, lest it invite efforts for its own restriction next?

The National Committee for a Single Six-Year Presidential Term is looking into such problems. The committee works in close cooperation with the Foundation for the Study of Presidential and Congressional Terms, and the two groups share a Washington office. The former columnist Charles L. Bartlett acts as a consultant to the committee; the staff organizes speaking engagements and debates for committee members.

"We have a practical or-
ganization now," according
to Herbert Brownell. "The
things that have to be done in
the way of arousing public
opinion and debate are going
to be done. The talking to
Congressmen, senators and
state legislatures which has
to be done is going to be
done."

But, as Cyrus Vance ac-
knowledges, the Founding
Fathers "set up a wise, slow
way" to change the Constitu-
tion, requiring the approval
of two-thirds of each house of
Congress and of three-fourths
of the states. As backers of
the original equal-rights
amendment and District of
Columbia statehood have re-
cently learned, that makes it
almost impossible to amend
the Constitution without over-
whelming public support.

Perhaps the single six-year
term, if finally instituted,
would prove so effective a re-
form that the Presidency
would at last be more nearly
dominated by measures than
by men, by abstract judg-
ment of the public interest
rather than by the clash and
reconciliation of interests.
And perhaps that would be a
good thing. Political history,
however, encourages neither
proposition.

But even if the current
drive fails, this ancient issue
is unlikely to go away. The
human animal is too persistent
in its search for a system
or a mechanism that will
somehow overcome its own
vazaries and fallibilities. And
Americans, particularly, are
too strong in their belief that
somehow, someday, they will
—or at least should — be able
to purge their Government of
politics. We want to be res-
cued from ourselves.

"Maybe," said Bill Simon
the day the National Commit-
tee for a Single Six-Year
Presidential Term was an-
nounced, "we'll get some
statesmen instead of the
standard brand of politician
who is just seeking one thing,
his own re-election."

Or maybe, as Harry
Truman said, "A statesman
is a politician who's been
dead 10 or 15 years." A lot of
people think Mr. Truman
himself proves the point.

TURKISH EMBASSY

WASHINGTON D.C.

April 25, 1984

May I extend a cordial invitation to you to be my
guest at a black-tie banquet on the evening of May 19
at 8:00 p.m. in the Washington Hilton International
Ballroom Center. The banquet is occasioned by the
Assembly of Turkish American Associations' (ATAA)
annual plenary meeting at which representatives from
ATAA's 39 member-organizations around the country will
be gathered for a four-day session.

One of the highlights of this gala banquet will be
an exquisite exhibition of fashions by internationally
renowned Turkish designer Mme. Zuhal Yorgancioğlu.
Inspiration for Mme. Yorgancioğlu's contemporary designs
comes from the garments and costumes worn by the Ottoman
Sultans and the women of their palaces.

The opportunity to extend this invitation to you
is a special privilege for me because it reflects the
pride and esteem in which the people of Turkey hold
the Turkish Americans for their manifold achievements
and for their contributions to the United States - the
country of their citizenship and Turkey's close NATO
ally.

For the Turkish American community, the Assembly
of Turkish American Associations has become an important
unifying factor. ATAA promotes traditional ties and
deeper understanding between the peoples of the United
States and Turkey, and contributes to the furtherance
of Turkish American relations, especially by fostering
more accurate perceptions of past and contemporary
Turkish realities.

I hope you will join us at what will truly be an
enjoyable evening. Your presence will help reinforce
the recognition and encouragement which the efforts of
these American citizens richly deserve.

Please be so kind as to R.S.V.P. to Ms. Ayşe'n
Başaran at 387-3200.

RE: Letter from Eleta

Here are my suggestions for a reply. First, my preference:

"Dear Dr. Eleta:

Thank you for your letter of December 27, which arrived on January 20. It is superficial and naive.

Second, the one Dr. Kissinger should send:

"Dear Dr. Eleta:

Thank you for your letter of December 27, 1983. It addresses the central issues in the inquiry of the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America and I am grateful for it. As you are aware by now, the Commission has submitted its report to the President. I am pleased to enclose a copy of it with my highest esteem.

Senator Brady and I would both profit from your comments. It represents a sincere effort of a group of distinguished and dedicated Americans to say something useful

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

My conversation with our good and mutual friend Nick Brady, encompassed some broad thinking, aside from the more concrete and immediate matters contained in my first Memo to you.

By the way, thank you ever so much for your thoughtful answer. I still believe that there would not be any great advantage in regaining Nicaragua, if, in the process, we were to lose El Salvador.

I much hope for you not to interpret as abusive my communicating with you, again, this time to provoke thinking concerning a great deal more transcendent, thought far more elusive, field of inquiry.

Although the content of the attached paper is well-known to every interested observer of our contemporary society, I mean to utilize Central America and the Caribbean as a testing area for the application of some of the thoughts which I summarily expressed there in and which could creatively and effectively be combined with President Reagan's "Caribbean Basin Initiative".

MEMORANDUM TO: His Excellency, Dr. Henry Kissinger

FROM: Fernando Eleta A.

RE: CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC DILEMMA

1. Instant world communications have accutely incremented the negative effects of the often called: "Revolution of Ri-sing Expectations".

2. The "Transistor Revolution" has compounded the effect of the intrusive transmission of images and messages from the indus-trialized nations with their reception by the peoples of the developing world.

3. The logical and anticipated result has been the generation of a state of frustration in the developing countries which has progressively become chronic and collective.

4. Such a progressive state of frustration on the part of the "have nots" of the world, seems to be the preeminent cause of the global crisis in which we live, expressing itself in anarchic acts of violence, terrorism and war.

5. If the phenomenon of instant world communications has caused the alarming distress of the world's needy, the anarchy exist-ing within the capitalistic system at the international level, compounds the problem even more dangerously.

6. The mechanisms of development within a free and anarchic capi-talistic economy at the international level will, by definit-ion, broaden the ever widening abyss between the rich nations and the poor nations.

7. The dramatic increment in the rate of national indebtedness as evidenced in this Continent by countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, not to mention the problem of lesser economies such as those of Chile, Peru and Venezuela, and every one of the smaller nations of Central America and the Caribbean Basin, clearly confirms the pronostication contained in my formal address before the United Nations General Assembly on Septem-ber, 1965. (Relevant quotation may be found in the enclosed document). The message may be compressed, thus: 'Developing nations are incapable of liquidating their debts while, simul-taneously, financing their economic and social growth'.

8. The possibility of defaulting, in cascade fashion, by the principal debtor nations of this Continent and abroad, caused the near collapse of the international banking system, command-ing vigorous action on the part of the International Monetary Fund to avoid it. The underlying economic disease has thus been temporarily checked, but in no manner cured, so that we may expect a more virulent problem when the true ailment sur-faces again within the next five years.

.....

Cont...2

9. And so, it is becoming unavoidable and undeferrable to convey, at least to our leaders, the true nature of the disease and that its only cure seems to be the establishment of a new Global Economic Order, resting, basically on the redistribut-ion of wealth at the international level, compatible with the welfare of the world's population, without creating undue constraints to the principal means of production.

10. Obsolete and anachronistic as the modern Nation-State may be, internal forces from within each nation will render most unlikely, if not impossible, short or medium-term solutions based on a global vision of our apparently sectorialized problems.

11. It is here where the 'Caribbean Basin Initiative' comes in, with the possibility and potential of causing a first step to be taken in the ultimate process of worldwide economic re-adjustment. I believe that it has become increasingly evi-dent to all of you, observers of the Central America scenario, that insufficient resources, limited geographical and demo-graphical dimensions, unbalanced distribution of wealth and of dignity, are some of the principal causes for the mass in-surrection that typifies the Central American predicament.

12. Cautious as I may be of the potential fabrication of two levels of dignity: that of the philanthropist and the object of his charity, I do not believe that, as far as the Central American crisis is concerned, there is enough time to dwell on such considerations, but, rather, to act within the imm-diacy that the problem demands in providing the necessary re-sources, accompanied by the appropriate technological backing to these countries as they become beneficiaries of the CBI so as to cause a new socio-economic structure to develop within a framework of justice and freedom.

13. Not only would we be helping the cause of a healthy and secure underbelly of the U.S., but it may well teach both, givers and beneficiaries to accept the dawn of a new era in which man may finally accept the limitations of our planet and the consequent need for global solutions.

14. Descending from the philosophical to the pragmatic, let me simply end by suggesting that whatever resources can be obtained for the satisfaction of the above stated needs, they should be channeled, whenever and wherever possible, through established and recognized institutions of the Private Sector in each country, and not through the unstable, bureaucratic and inefficient Government Agencies, as has largely been the practice, thus far.

UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION OF PART OF THE ADDRESS DELIVERED BY
HIS EXCELLENCY FERNANDO ELETA ALMARAN, SECRETARY OF STATE
OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
THE UNITED NATIONS ON SEPTEMBER 29th, 1965.

"Based on these considerations, the Delegation of Panama invites the Governments of the Member States of the United Nations Organization to consider the advisability and feasibility of creating a system of economic cooperation, a system of compulsory interdependence, based on the establishment of a contribution that progressively imposes a tax on the national income of each and everyone of the Member States. The funds thus obtained would be rationally invested according to the most urgent needs of the developing countries, in order to supplement the domestic efforts and savings that the same may carry out in their eagerness to achieve a more accelerated rhythm of economic growth. The United Nations would be entrusted with the creation of the necessary bodies, or adaptation of existing ones, to accomplish the tasks of collecting, supervising and distributing the funds thus obtained.

My Delegation considers that the proposal we are submitting deserves serious study and consideration, inasmuch as the limited domestic savings and, consequently, the increasing rate of external indebtedness shown by the developing countries demand now, as an undeferrable measure, the effective solution of the primary issue concerning the financing of development.

The Delegation of Panama does not pretend that the suggested formula be a panacea for the evils afflicting the developing world. However, we do believe that it would contribute towards the creation of an international community in which men may live within a framework of justice, with greater dignity, with material prosperity and with real possibilities for expanding its spiritual energies. The adoption of said formula for the redistribution of income at an international level would imply the generation and promotion of a feeling of identification and participation on the part of the developing countries with that international order which is now keeping them out of the accelerated progress of the industrialized countries."

As Dr. Kissinger is currently out of town, he has asked me to write on his behalf regarding your letter of August 13th.

He very much appreciates your invitation to attend the symposium next April on Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Arab Territories. Unfortunately, however, he already has a series of commitments out of the country during that same period and will therefore not be able to attend.

Dr. Kissinger regrets having to miss what will certainly be an interesting and informative symposium and sends his best wishes.

That aside, I do hope to see you sometime soon.

Dear Henry:

The purpose of this letter is to invite you to speak at and participate in a symposium on the future of the North Pacific in world affairs to be held in Sapporo, Japan July 26-27, 1985. The symposium will be sponsored jointly by the Governor of Hokkaido and The Fletcher School. The Governor is a dynamic and respected young Japanese politician who is often mentioned as a possible future Prime Minister. It is possible that both Prime Minister Nakasone and Foreign Minister Abe will attend the symposium. The participants will number about 400, including representatives from the U.S., Canada, Japan, South Korea, the P.R.C., and possibly the Soviet Union.

The Fletcher School has long had close ties with Japan. We have had more Japanese graduates than from any country other than the United States. Several senior Japanese diplomats, other high government officials and corporate officers are among our alumni. We have a number of joint academic exchanges and projects. More recently we have established a program in North Pacific studies, covering the region from San Diego to Shanghai and centering on the relationships in that region of the U.S., the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, China and Korea. The Sapporo symposium will be the first major event sponsored by the new program.

What we want from you is a major address which would put the situation in the North Pacific region in a global perspective. How do the relationships and policies of the North Pacific powers bear on the overall international outlook: strategic, economic and political?

We can offer you an honorarium of $10,000, first-class roundtrip travel for two between New York or Washington and Sapporo, and all local expenses.

I believe, Henry, that this is a worthwhile project, one which holds promise for significant strengthening of our ties with Japan. I hope you can do it.

Dear Suzanne:

Your thoughtful note of February 14th was very much appreciated. With Dr. K's schedule I don't expect prompt response to correspondence, and particularly, if it's of personal nature. But I was hoping to hear from him before I leave for the Orient on March 1st. However, he's not due back in Washington until early in March I learn.

Should he have any thoughts concerning the matter of an Honorary Consul General position, as we've discussed, and wish me to visit anyone in the far east on this, I can be reached as follows:

Mrs. England and I will be in Singapore March 4th to 10th. We'll be at the Shangri-La Hotel. In Hong Kong March 10th-16th at The Mandarin. Then to Macau and Hotel Lisboa for a couple of days before a brief trip to mainland China. Back in Hong Kong on March 21st at the Peninsula Hotel. We fly home to San Francisco on March 29th.

Understand, I don't expect priority treatment, but only mention it since we could alter our plans to go elsewhere, if advisable. Only Henry would know on that one, I guess.

You might mention that Isaac Stern and I have been in contact by phone and letters and we will get together in San Francisco on March 30th. If his schedule permits Isaac may visit the Grove in July. Also, I'd like to know about Zuben Mehta. (And how have you been?)

Dear Henry:

You may be interested in the enclosed and the
position of San Francisco among those nations who
have diplomatic representation here.

You know, of course, that San Francisco has a very
high concentration of asiatic nationals within its
population. Also that in recent years there has been
a great influx of money and investment, buildings,
banks, etc., from the orient. And trade has increased,
too, as would be expected because of San Francisco's
geographic position with the far east.

Please note how few far east countries are represented
here, even with an honorary consul general. I am still
very interested in this and will be in Singapore, Hong
Kong and elsewhere in asia all of March and could
arrange my schedule to see whomever you may suggest.
I don't want to bother you with this but I know of no
other person in the world who could be helpful. As
we discussed at the Grove last summer, I am interested
in serving as an honorary consul general, without
compensation for any country you may think interested.

# CONSUL: Promoting French culture

From Page 14

long been active in arranging an exchange of students and faculty at French and American universities, including UC-Berkeley and Stanford, a current emphasis is in the field of science.

Robert Magnaval, scientific attaché at the consulate, is developing an exchange program for graduate-level science students. He said the French feel that graduate schools in the United States offer the "best quality" education in science.

"You have everything up-to-date. We are convinced we could bring some very good American scientists to France, even if they don't speak French. They could learn French through science."

The consulate also has a cultural attaché, Maryse Berniau, who works closely with the local French schools, universities and artistic community. "I meet a lot of wonderful people who are such Francophiles, they make my job easy," she said.

One of her interests is in promoting the study of the French language, and Berniau is gratified that more college students in California take up French than any other language. On the secondary level, French ranks behind Spanish. Berniau has ar-

ranged seminars for local high school teachers to show them new methods of teaching French, and the French government awards scholarships for them to study in

France. Documentaries about France are available to schools, through the consulate.

"We've organized some retrospects of French classics at the Pacific Film Archive," said Berniau. The consulate has hosted receptions for Yves Montand, Francois Truffaut, Jeanne Moreau and in connection with French art exhibitions at local museums.

"One of the interesting parts of this job is the diversity. You are never bored," said Errera. Like many diplomats, he doesn't know how long he will stay in San Francisco. But his wife, 14-year-old son, Philippe, and 12-year-old daughter, Emmanuelle (spelled, said Errera, "like the movie") are used to moving every few years.

"I like very much to move. I wouldn't like to spend all my life in one place. But for the children, it is hard," said Virginie Errera, who is as involved in the social life at the consulate as her husband.

Being a diplomat means "every two or three years beginning again a new life," said Errera, "but in a city like San Francisco the adjustment has been very easy."

Errera: 'You are never bored'

Last night's announcement came at a time when most opinion polls show the public strongly approves of Reagan's performance in office.

For example, a Gallup Poll released yesterday showed that 54 percent of those polled approved of the way Reagan was handling his presidential duties, and 37 percent disapproved.

Reagan is expected to do little campaigning between now and the Republican National Convention in Dallas in August, according to White House aides.

Using a little of the White House strategy available to the incumbent, Reagan told the national television audience last night that "this historic room belongs to you."

"We are here to see that government continues to serve you — not the other way around," Reagan said, adding that he was "grateful and proud of what together we have accomplished."

Reagan, Vice President Bush and their wives met with 400 leading supporters at the White House a few hours before the speech. About 1000

Reagan has an experienced, well-financed campaign team that has been working since October 17 from plush offices that cover two stories of a new office building on Capitol Hill.

The Reagan-Bush organization is headed by Ed Rollins, a veteran of past Republican presidential campaigns who left as head of the White House political office to open the campaign operation.

Reagan already has raised more than $4.2 million for his re-election, has more than 100 workers on his campaign staff and has campaign organizations in place in all 50 states.

"If the election were this Tuesday, we'd win," said Reagan-Bush '84 communications director Jim Lake. "I'm confident of that."

White House chief of staff James Baker, appearing yesterday on TV's "Meet the Press," was somewhat more cautious.

"I think he's in reasonably good shape to run for re-election," Baker said. "But I would have to say we're not sanguine about things in general. We're expecting a very close,

and by efforts by the Democratic Party to register to vote millions of Americans who are disenchanted with Reagan's policies, than about Democratic efforts to portray Reagan's cuts in federal spending on domestic programs as unfair to the poor and middle class.

"Fairness is not an issue when more people are at work and inflation is down. Fairness is not an issue when the level of prosperity is rising rapidly," Lake said.

"The greatest risk is the whole international scene where the president is less able to predict what will happen and has less control over the acts of others," he said.

Lake said the Reagan campaign plans to spend $4 million of its own money and about $4 million from Republican state organizations in an effort to register 2 million to 3 million new voters who are likely to vote Republican. The campaign plans to spend $21 million between now and the Republican convention in Dallas. Half of that would come from the U.S. Treasury in the form of matching campaign funds, if Reagan accepts the funds.

Dear Henry:

When I heard and saw a fleet of police cars roaring
down Third Street toward the airport last Monday I said
to myself (jokingly) "There goes Henry on his way to
the airport." Later, when I heard and read the news
about the stupidity of the programmed and misguided mob
that demonstrated here I knew it was no joke. You do
have a strong and respectful constituancy here, but they
are the silent majority. I'm afraid little can be done
about the kooks of our time, many of whom San Francisco
seems to attract in greater numbers than tourists.

Isaac Stern and I had a nice long relaxed lunch and visit
when he was here a couple of weeks ago. With his Carnegie
Hall responsibilities, his colossal fund raising project
and the new scholarship program, plus his concert work,
I doubt Isaac can seriously consider Bohemian Club
membership, at least not just now. I did invite him to
the Grove this summer, but mid-summer is his relax, rest
and think time after a long and exhausting schedule which
takes him all over the world, as you know. So I doubt he
will make it. I hope he can and, if membership interests him
later, I'm sure he'll tell you or me. Meanwhile I won't
press it any more.

Henry, I'm still interested in Zubin Mehta as a special
guest at the Grove in July. Please let me hear from you
on this within the next couple of weeks, if possible,
since I must be in contact with the Board early in May.

Meanwhile...

Warmest regards

# How Radicals Disrupted S.F. Protest

By Katy Butler
and Edward Iwata

The demonstration against Henry Kissinger on Monday, planned as a peaceful event by its organizers, was led into a violent confrontation with police by members of two small militant groups who joined the protest uninited, demonstrators and police sources said yesterday.

The confrontation worried planners for the Democratic National Convention, who fear similar disruptions in July, despite the best intentions of most demonstrators to reject violent tactics.

A top official in the Democratic National Convention organization said security precautions already were "going to be tight ... now they're going to really screw it down."

"The (Kissinger) demonstration gave police a bird's-eye view of potential activity for the convention," said another knowledgeable source who asked not to be named.

Demonstrators and police said that members of the volatile Revolutionary Communist Party and the ultra-left Prairie Fire Organizing Committee, a Weather Underground-allied group, moved Monday's demonstration toward violence.

Leftists and law enforcement officials said both groups are known for showing up at rallies organized by others and trying to "hijack" the rally and lead it in a violent direction.

"A group like that can start something that is cancerous that can spread through a crowd and create a mob situation," said San Francisco Police Inspector John Hennessy.

According to a reconstruction of the demonstration based on interviews with demonstrators, police and other witnesses, Monday's rally began as a small peaceful picketing on Mason Street, next to the San Francisco Hilton Hotel.

It was organized primarily by members of the Livermore Action Group, who are required to take eight hours of non-violent training, and members of the Coalition in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, and others opposing U.S. policy in Central America.

Representatives of both groups said yesterday that members of the Revolutionary Communist Party and Prairie Fire then joined the demonstration, selling their newspapers, chanting their own slogans and waving small red flags attached

to thick dowels.

As the crowd grew, it spilled into Mason Street, and police used horses to force people back onto the sidewalk. Some demonstrators said that both Prairie Fire and Revolutionary Communist Party members were among those who threw rocks and paint, poked horses with wooden rods and pipes, tossed marbles under their hooves, and led the crowd back into Mason Street, blocking traffic.

One organizer for the Livermore Action Group said that people he recognized as supporters and members of Prairie Fire "were some of the more active people there, the ones who originally led us into the streets. That part was all right with me, but I didn't like them using their banners and sticks to go after the police."

Demonstrators and other witnesses said that some protesters could not avoid the blows of night-sticks because they were trapped in the large, slowly moving crowd. When they tried to duck in doorways, they were pursued by police and hit with batons, witnesses said.

Although they continued to charge that police overreacted, El Salvador coalition members disassociated themselves from the rock-throwing that occurred and said that Prairie Fire and the Revolutionary Communist Party were not part of the coalition that planned the event.

Said Mike Zielinski of the coalition, "One of our principles is peaceful, non-violent action. The Revolutionary Communist Party is not part of our coalition and in no way was involved with the planning of the demonstration. But it's a free country, people come to actions. They hear about things through word of mouth.

"We in no way endorse the kind of action that took place Monday, the bottle throwing and rock throwing that may have happened. But rather than deal with the few individuals responsible, police chose to indiscriminately attack the entire crowd."

Jim Gonzales, Mayor Dianne Feinstein's community liaison, said in support of the organizers of the demonstration, "CISPES has never been involved in a violent demonstration before. They're a perfectly peaceful group. But sometimes a demonstration attracts fringe groups that basically are looking for a confrontation with the police to create an appearance of injustice."

Inspector Hennessy said the organizers of the peaceful demonstration could have headed off the violence if they had been willing to identify the uninvited protest groups.

"All it would have taken is somebody from Livermore Action Group saying, 'Listen, those people are not with us.' Factions that are not with the host group can be identified and segregated by being given their own area. If there is a problem, we can immediately identify it without having innocent people involved."

Mayor Feinstein said yesterday that she was not worried about the Police Department's ability to handle demonstrations during the Democratic convention, despite a rash of complaints of police brutality in near-riots that followed the 1982 Super Bowl.

Police have received extensive and continuing crowd control training since then, she said, and now are trained to work in small groups under supervision, she said.

Last night before the San Francisco Police Commission, Deputy Police Chief George Eimil applauded the police response to the demonstration.

"I think that what is significant is that we moved 1000 people off the street with minimal injuries to either side.... I think that any fear of open warfare between the police and these groups is greatly exaggerated," Eimil said.

Dear Henry:

During one of our brief River Road encounters at the Grove in July you mentioned that you would contact Zubin Mehta about attending the 1985 Midsummer Encampment. Have you had a chance to do this yet?

I'm sorry I missed seeing you on my visits to your camp this year. Among other things I hoped to ask you about the matter of my being an Honorary Consul for any one of a number of countries not represented in San Francisco. I've enjoyed a reasonably wide association with the various consulates here, mostly on a social basis, and it has caused me to wonder if I could not make a personal contribution in this area. Without compensation, of course.

You commented favorably on this when we first spoke of it about a year ago, but then you became extremely busy with the Central America commission. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this or if you might help steer me to a mutual agreeable situation with the proper country.

I would appreciate hearing from you on both these items. Meanwhile...

Warmest regards
