DOCUMENT ANALYSIS

Geneva, 31 May 1976

Dear Dr Kissinger,

On the assumption that the press have correctly reported
you as saying you will most likely not be in office next year,
I am writing to invite you to deliver a major plenary speech
in Davos on the afternoon of Friday, February 4th, 1977. This
afternoon would be entitled "Europe and the United States -
Partners or Rivals?" and would include an address from a
prominent European politician.

To indicate the importance we attach to this invitation,
we have given it an "open" budget for expenses and honoraria so
that we can fully meet your requirements in all respects.

As you will know, the European Management Symposium in Davos is a regular annual event attended by 400-500 senior managers from all over Europe and beyond. It regularly attracts a small contingent from the USA, among whom you will know the names of Mark Shepherd of Texas Instruments and Robert MacDonald of Sperry Rand. The latter is also a member of our Advisory Board.

The Symposium is organized by the European Management Forum, a non-profit foundation under the legal supervision of the Swiss Federal Government. It aims to take a high-level, but practical, look at the forces which are shaping the environment faced by top business decision makers. Speakers in previous years from the US included William Eberle, J.K. Galbraith, Igor Ansoff, Herman Kahn, etc. From the European side, speakers have included Roy Jenkins, Peter Walker and Edward Heath from England, and François Mitterrand from France; the President and Commissioners of the EEC Commission in Brussels; heads of international organizations such as Olivier Long of GATT and Janez Stanovnik of the UN Economic Commission for Europe.

./.

Dr H. Kissinger, Washington, DC, USA, 31 March 1976.

2.

As you will gather, the annual Management Symposium in Davos is a first-class, high-quality meeting both from the point of view of the speakers and of the attending businessmen. It has become firmly established as a major European business meeting of the year and is widely covered by the European and international press. With this year's particular orientation towards Europe-US relationships it would provide an excellent platform for you to present your views and to correct some of the misconceptions that are widely held among European businessmen.

For such a large and important event you will understand that we have to begin our promotional efforts very early and I would thus be extremely grateful if you could make an acceptance in principle subject to confirmation in the Autumn.

I hope you find this invitation of interest and that we will have the pleasure of hearing you speak in Davos next year.

# Forum Objectives

[L.C.]

## The strategic value of the Forum

The European Management Forum serves Europe's business decision-makers in assessing and mastering their complex and changing environment.

It provides the antennae needed to keep alert to long-term trends and to monitor short-term fluctuations.

The contact and cooperation fostered among European executives by the European Management Forum are in tune with increasing European integration. They also meet the need for Europe to restructure and strengthen her industry in an increasingly interdependent but competitive world.

## The challenge facing Europe's top managers

Businessmen are facing a world which is becoming ever more complex, fast-changing and interdependent. The need grows stronger for sensitive antennae to alert strategic managers to long-term changes and to help them monitor the short-term fluctuations of the business environment.

European businessmen, in particular, have to operate in a market fragmented by divisions based on language, ideology and culture. Thus, at a time when Europe is facing a need to restructure and revitalize her industry, contact and cooperation

among European executives is essential if practical solutions are to be found.

At the global level, with the trend towards a system of strong but highly interdependent regions, Europe needs to strengthen her industrial fabric and to explore ways in which she can benefit from opportunities in, and competition between, world regions.

## Our mission in meeting this challenge

To provide, through its comprehensive activities, an integrated strategic service for Europe's business decision makers.

To give a high-level and well-informed insight into the national and international forces which are changing their environment. To facilitate, by personal contact and interaction, the exchange of views and experience to help in mastering that environment. To bridge the gap between businessmen and institutional policy makers at national and international level.

## Advisory Board of the European Management Forum

Regular consultation with the following advisory board members helps to ensure the high-quality of Forum activities and their relevance to the needs of Europe's business leaders.

# Forum Organization

## The European Management Forum is:

* A non-profit Foundation

* Independent

* Non-political

* Self-financed

* Of service to strategic, decision-making executives

* International in staff and programmes

* Well-established and internationally recognized

* Comprehensive and integrated in activities

* In continuous contact with governmental, institutional and educational leaders throughout Europe

* A channel for contact, cooperation and interaction among Europe's business leaders

## The characteristics of the Forum

The European Management Forum is completely unsubsidized and is an independent, self-supporting, non-profit foundation under the legal supervision of the Swiss Federal Government.

In the four years of its existence, the Forum has continuously pioneered new approaches to fostering contact and cooperation among Europe's leading businessmen.

Headquartered in Geneva, the Forum is ideally situated to be a truly European organization and operates triliangually in English, French and German.

Its events have the sponsorship of both UNICE (Union des Industries de la Communauté Européenne) and the EEC Commissioner responsible for Industrial Affairs. Headed by Prof. Klaus Schwab and Dr. John Nicholls, its international staff in Geneva is drawn from six nationalities.

The Forum policy is to be completely self-financed and independent, accepting no subsidies or grants. Thus, its income is dependent on satisfying a true market need which makes it quick, flexible and responsive to the companies it serves. The Forum, while generally serving dynamic management in the international, free-enterprise sector, is non-political and non-ideological.

The activities of the Forum are characterized by the quality of information, at the highest level and at first hand, and by the comprehensiveness of the services offered which give the essential requirements for surveillance of the European business environment.

# What the Forum does

## How the Forum helps top management:

1. Monitors the European business environment

2. Detects and alerts to strategic trends

3. Widens horizons

4. Fosters high-level contact

5. Bridges the gap between business and institutional policy-makers

6. Helps identify and exploit new business opportunities

7. Actively involves its participants in creative programmes

### 1. Monitors the European business environment

The European Management Forum provides top management with a comprehensive mechanism to keep in touch with all aspects of cyclical change in the business environment. Developments in every European country, not just those of the Community, are continuously monitored. Through the Forum services executives can achieve a first-hand, high-level assessment of the economic, political and social climate in the countries of interest to him.

### 2. Detects and alerts to strategic trends

Monitoring cyclical developments is important for success in the short-term but strategic shifts in economic, political or social systems can have more serious implications for long-term health and survival. Through its multiple connections with the academic world, the international institutions (both in Geneva and elsewhere) and its transnational business network, the Forum is well placed to detect and assess strategic trends and to alert those close to it of their significance, strength and direction.

### 3. Widens horizons

The Forum does not confine itself geographically to Europe or intellectually to a narrow concept of the business environment. Every means possible is used to direct the attention of European businessmen to opportunities in other major world regions. Important shifts in the world balance, such as the present evolution of a new international and economic order, are given the necessary attention.

### 4. Fosters high-level contact

Understanding and trust is fundamental to business. The Forum places great emphasis in its activities on maximizing the opportunities for executives to get to know one another and exchange experiences and points of view. This contact helps to overcome the geographical, cultural and linguistic fragmentation of Europe. At the same time, it enables common interests to be identified, potential synergies explored and innovative management techniques discussed and exchanged – to mutual benefit.

### 5. Bridges the gap between business and institutional policy-makers

National governments and the official international institutions are, to an ever-growing extent, making decisions of profound importance for business. The Forum, by bringing those decision-makers together with businessmen, helps to bridge the gap between the two. Communication is essential for

Business for top management

[L]

business to fully understand and respond to policies being formulated and so that it can influence them in constructive directions.

**6. Helps identify and exploit new business opportunities**

New business opportunities can arise not only from changing technology, shifts in consumer needs and penetration of new world markets, etc., but from a better understanding of the potential in present activities and a more extensive exploration of the cooperative possibilities with others. In all these respects, the range of Forum activities helps the participating executives to identify and exploit new opportunities. Several concrete examples have shown the effectiveness of the European network of contacts which the Forum is helping to create.

**7. Actively involves its participants in creative programmes**

The Forum believes that active participation is vital to the effectiveness of meetings for top management and insists that all speakers allot at least sixty percent of their time to questions and discussion. At the annual Davos Symposium, it has pioneered in combining the virtues of a large meeting with the benefits of face-to-face contacts, small group work and the individual selection of activities according to personal tastes and needs. The Symposium was the first, in such a conference, to use the large-screen Eidophor system to bring the speakers into close contact with their audience.

# The range of European Management

## An integrated concept

The European Management Forum believes that the pace of change in the world today has given rise to two fundamental needs, beyond the conventional concepts of traditional management education, both of which can best be satisfied by some form of interaction and cooperation between European firms:

1. The need for rapid and accurate assessment of trends in the business, political and social environments;

2. The need for quick and practical new approaches and management techniques to adapt to changing conditions.

In other words, the major strategic problem for chief executives is the development of management practices to assess and to cope with changing environmental conditions.

Participation in the general events of the European Management Forum provides the basic surveillance and early warning system for the social, economic and political forces affecting the business environment, both locally and globally. Participation with fellow Club members, in the Club Rendez-Vous, etc., provides the continuity necessary for in-depth interaction and cross-fertilization with European colleagues.

The focus of the Forum's efforts, as outlined here, is on providing comprehensive service linking Europe's business decision-makers to each other and to their changing environment.

## European Management Symposium

An annual nine-day event in Davos, Switzerland, for 300-400 senior executives from all over Europe and beyond. In plenary sessions, seminars, colloquia, etc., participants have an opportunity to study and assess the important forces influencing their business environment and to keep abreast of the latest development in management practice and techniques needed to react to and benefit from changing circumstances.

## European Round Tables

Intensive, country-related, two-day events held in European capitals and limited to about 80 top executives. The faculty, drawn from the policymakers of governments, national institutions, trade unions, etc., gives an insight into the economic, political and social climate of the country visited. Normally, ten per year covering the EEC, the major European countries annually and others from time to time as the situation demands.

## European Briefing Meetings

One-day topic-related meetings at the Forum Headquarters in Geneva, to explore, in depth, currently topical subjects with recognized international experts. Occasionally, as the need arises.

## European Club Rendez-Vous

On an ad hoc basis, members of the European Club for Business Cooperation are invited by a fellow member to attend a Rendez-Vous meeting in his company headquarters. These one-day meetings are devoted to discussion of a topic of mutual concern or to the study of relevant business experience of the host member. Pioneer experience in some area of business or management is often the subject.

At these Club Rendez-Vous, members become acquainted with one another and develop a mutual trust which may serve to create continuous workshops for the exchange of experience.

## EMF-Synopsis

A monthly survey of business-relevant publications which are produced by the world-wide network of such organizations as the UN, EEC, GATT, ILO, OECD, etc. These are summarized or described and the original documents made quickly available by photocopy. From time to time, interpretative and synthesising articles are included.

LC

## European Transcontinental Meetings

The European Transcontinental meetings bring together several hundred European executives with businessmen, financiers, governmental and institutional leaders, etc. from major world regions. In a world which is becoming more interdependent, but also more regionalized and competitive, it is important for European business leaders to fully explore the trade and investment potential of other world regions. These European Transcontinental meetings, being introduced in 1976 with the First European Arab Symposium, are non-political events with the emphasis on practical business cooperation.

## Background documents and summary reports

For the annual Symposium and each of the Round Tables a background report and summary report is produced. These provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the European business environment.

## Participation: European and International

Participation in all Forum events is limited to the top strategic decision-making levels of management. These activities bring together executives from all types of companies and every country of Western Europe. Multinational giants rub shoulders with internationally-minded family firms and dynamic medium-sized companies expanding beyond their frontiers. At a given event, no more than 20% come from one particular country.

While focusing on Europe, participation is not restricted to European companies only. Executives from over thirty countries regularly attend our meetings. These enrich the proceedings while gaining a first-class perspective on European business thought and activity.

# Individual and Corporate Association

## Continuous relationship with the Forum

The European Management Forum offers an integrated range of services being widely used by Europe's business leaders. The high degree of repeated attendance indicates that a real need is being effectively met.

A continuous relationship with the Forum can be established individually, through the European Club for Business Cooperation, or corporately through the Associate Company programme.

## Associate Companies come from a wide range of industrial branches including:

Agriculture

Machine building

Banking

Office equipment

Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals

Packaging

Construction

Paper

Electrical and Electronics

Petroleum and Gas

Industrial goods

Publishing

Insurance

Rubber and Plastics

Textiles

Of the top twenty most profitable companies in Europe, in the VISION November 1975 list, five are Associate Companies of the Forum.

Although the European Management Forum is not a membership organization, there are two ways in which an on-going relationship can be established.

### 1. The European Club for Business Cooperation

Membership is open to senior executives of both public and private corporations. The annual membership fee varies from SFr. 300.- to SFr. 1500.-, depending on the size of their organization.

The Club represents an informal network of internationally-minded executives and provides a framework in which they can exchange ideas, experiences and points of view in a climate of trust and mutual confidence.

Club Rendez-vous are regularly arranged in which host members invite their fellows for a day's discussion on a topic of their choice. This may involve the sharing of some experience or expertise by the host or may be devoted to a topic of general concern to those attending.

### 2. Associate Companies

Firms which make regular use of the Forum's services are invited to become Associates of the EMF.

Associate Companies receive unlimited membership in the European Club for Business Cooperation, a subscription to EMF-SYNOPSIS and all other reports produced by the Forum. In addition, their annual fee of SFr. 6000.- gives them the right to unlimited participation in all Forum general events at half the usual charge and with reduced cancellation penalties.

In this way, Associates achieve integration into a European-wide network of modern and internationally-minded companies and, at the same time, support the Foundation in its efforts to serve the needs and interests of European industry.

The continuity of contact made possible by becoming an Associate Company is the basis for the climate of mutual trust which is so important for a real exchange of opinions and experiences.

["[L]", "A comprehensive, inte-\ngrated, widely-used service", "The steadily growing number of Associate Companies and the large number of executives and companies who regularly participate in our activities is an encouraging sign that the comprehensive and integrated services of the European Management Forum are meeting a real need among European business leaders.", "Our tailor-made activities are aimed at providing the essential environmental surveillance needs of the strategic decision-making levels of management. They also facilitate idea-exchange and cooperation among European executives and help bridge the gap between them and institutional decision-makers, both national and international.", "Many companies have discovered advantages in the regular participation of their top executives in Forum activities.

I have long been an admirer of your brilliance, diplomacy and many contributions to world peace. After reading in the newspaper of your plan to donate your share of the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize to a scholarship fund for children of American servicemen killed or missing in Indochina I realize that you are also one of the finest Americans ever to serve our country. You are a true gentleman.

PROSPECTUS

We think it of great significance to the peace of the
world that the summit meeting between the United States
and Peoples Republic of China was held at Peking in
February 1972. It was an impressive event to see the
scene of a congratulatory banquet given in the honour
of President Nixon through the medium of television via
the space relay from Peking with the congenial sound of
music. When we heard President Nixon make a speech on
that occasion to the effect that a legacy of peace should
be left to the future generation, the thought flashed
across our minds that it is our duty to hand down the
invaluable experience of the horrors of atomic bomb by
Japanese people to posterity as a legacy of peace and
we are inclined to feel that we should cooperate and
thereby we have decided to organize this society.

We shall try hard to set the sufferers' minds at rest by
analyzing the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki from
various angles and will promise peoples of the world to
make possible our efforts to check the recurrence of
nuclear war so long as one lives and furthermore to
establish an absolute theory of "Hiroshima Studies" for
the total abolition of nuclear weapons in accordance to
the earnest wishes of the sufferers.

We will exchange views positively for seeking wisdom
among people all over the world for the establishment
of permanent peace on our beautiful globe. It is our
sincere wish to perpetuate the wisdoms of people regarding
peace and the experiences of the sufferers to serve the
next generation.

Dear Henry:

As we approach the new fiscal year, I believe we can look back on many solid accomplishments. To ensure continued progress, I am again asking each department and agency head to press toward meeting the goals for fiscal year 1974 and to determine new objectives for fiscal year 1975.

I understand that you and your staff are already developing consolidated objectives for fiscal years 1974 and 1975 which will be available for my review by early June. Although focusing on specific results in the area of foreign policy is difficult, I am confident that this approach will allow all of us to manage our activities more effectively.

Managing toward specific goals is a rather new concept for many people within the Federal Government, but I think it can be a highly effective tool for improving our services to the American people.

With warmest personal regards,

Dear Mr. Prime Minister:

I would like to thank you and your
Government for your kind hospitality to the

party afterwards. The open and frank exchange
of views among the NATO partners again under-
lined the strength of common democratic
ideals our Alliance is dedicated to defend.

I was also most appreciative to have
had the opportunity to fully and informally
exchange views with you. Norway's strategic
northern flank position and its importance
as a dynamic, prosperous democracy sharing
a border with the Soviet Union places great
and unique responsibility on your shoulders.
Our talks have confirmed to me the closeness
of the ties between our countries and the
resolute manner in which Norway carries out
this responsibility. At the same time I
am confident that your Government recognizes
the importance America attaches to continued
excellent relations with Norway and the
steadfast defense commitments that bind these
two nations together.

His Excellency
Odvar Nordli,
Prime Minister of Norway,
Oslo.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kissinger:

Distinguished national leaders and leading citizens of the District of Columbia are being invited to participate in the formal rededication of a restored historical landmark in the nation's capital - the original Adas Israel Synagogue.

Ceremonies will be held on June 22, 1975 at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon at 3rd and G Streets, N. W., Washington, D. C.

The original dedication by President U. S. Grant on June 9, 1876 officially opened the first building in Washington specifically erected as a synagogue. Now restored it was only the second synagogue in the United States designated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

The building, a prototype of early 19th Century Church Architecture, will house Washington's only Jewish museum containing records of the beginnings of Judaism in our city, artifacts and other rare items.

A personal invitation will be mailed to you shortly to attend as a guest of the Society. We would appreciate your early response so that upon your acceptance appropriate arrangements can be made to receive you with proper dignity and acknowledgment of your presence.

This historical event, occuring nearly 100 years after the original dedication, is one in which the entire community can be proud. We are looking forward to the privilege of having you as an honored guest.

15 HYDE PARK GARDENS LONDON W2

29 April 1974

His Excellency Dr Henry A Kissinger
Secretary of State
Department of State
Washington DC

It has just been called to my attention that in the May issue of "Esquire" there is an article on Chile which makes reference to an alleged statement made by you to me in 1970 concerning the attitude of the United States toward the incoming Allende government. This has distressed me considerably because it gives the impression that I have quoted some supposed statement made by you. I am writing you this personal letter to tell you that this is not the case and possibly to give you some explanation of what is behind all this.

For some time I have been engaged in a running battle with a British journalist, Christopher Roper, concerning the internal political and economic trends in various Latin American countries, particularly Brazil. Mr Roper ran a weekly newsletter called "Latin America" here in London and is Latin American correspondent for the Manchester Guardian. In both capacities he wrote a stream of articles condemning the Brazilian government as a dictatorial, fascist regime whose economic policies were making the rich richer and the poor poorer. I had a very strong exchange of letters with him on this topic and sent copies of this exchange to many friends in Brazil. In addition, I spoke to a number of my friends here in London to object to the continued financial support coming from the private sector for his newsletter "Latin America", which was doing all it could to destroy the private sector in that area. Needless to say all of this did not endear me to Mr Roper.

His first sally was to publish an article some months ago, with no by-line, in a second rate British pop magazine called "Time Out", singling me out by name and private address as a strong supporter of the present Chilean government. In that article he made a reference to my friendship with you and stated that I had told acquaintances that you had advised me in 1970 concerning the United States' attitude toward Allende. Roper knew that I had been in Argentina and Chile in the summer of 1970 and also knew that I had seen you in Washington, but he did not know what was discussed, and certainly what he reports as being discussed is not the fact. Once published in "Time Out", Roper then published a more discreet reference to the same matter in the Manchester Guardian and now "Esquire" is quoting "Time Out". This technique of publishing a lie in one paper and then quoting it in another, more respected publication, is, of course, a technique that is well known to all of us.

I have no qualms whatever in being singled out as someone who thinks that the Allende regime was disastrous for Chile and that the action of Chileans in September 1973 to rid themselves of that regime was warranted. I do regret however that my efforts to fight what I consider to be the good fight in Latin America has resulted in the left putting into my mouth, lies concerning your own personal views. I am very proud to have known you over more than 15 years and to have had many occasions over those years to exchange views concerning world affairs. I hope that no assurances to you are required, but sadly these days reassurance on such matters is good to get and I want you to know that I would never to anything directly or indirectly that would cause you any embarrassment or would breach the confidentiality of our chats.

I doubt that Roper's machinations will amount to much, but I did want you to know what is behind them and that there is no basis in fact for the statements he is making or causing others to make.
