Dear Dr. Kissinger:

As an American and a lifelong Democrat, I want you to know
that all your efforts in your duties as Secretary of State are
appreciated. There is no question that you have given of your-
self far more than one could expect in striving for global peace
and understanding.

Frankly, I wish you could remain in office, however, that
is not possible under the circumstances, but I hope your successor
follows the splendid manner of your tenure.

Thank you for your service during the past several years, in-
cluding those prior to being named Secretary of State.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Please accept my appreciation for serving our
nation so well in time of distress.

It is my opinion that you have been the greatest
Secretary of State that I can recall. For anyone to be
able to even get the Jews and Arabs talking to each other,
in itself, is quite an accomplishment.

Your statesmanship has been outstanding and my
congratulations and good wishes for the future.

State Department
Washington, D.C.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I decided that I couldn't delay writing to you any longer. No matter how this election is resolved, or whether or not you remain in your position for another term, I just want you to know that I think you have done a fine job as Secretary of State.

I have been an admirer of yours while you have been in the office of Secretary of State. You've done more for our country than the people will ever realize. It must have been terribly difficult to try to go on and do a good job while receiving so much criticism, much of it unjustified. You are to be congratulated for performing so well under adversity. And as for your critics, I don't think they understand the complexities of the job enough to merit all the attention they're getting.

I am eighteen, so I have reached the age when it will be the responsibility of me and of my contemporaries to take over the Foreign policy from where you leave it. I think you should know that you have made our task much easier. I am confident that the problems we will face in the future of our country can be resolved peacefully because of the groundwork you have laid and the example you have set, and judging by the results, one well worth emulating. Thank you again.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God."

Dear Mr. Secretary:

My wife and I want to take this opportunity
to thank you for your splendid services to our
country as Secretary of State.

In our opinion you are a politician who is
also a Statesman - a combination that has been
too rarely found on the American scene.

We regret sincerely that you will not be
functioning as a Cabinet Officer, but we hope
that you will continue to use your influence
in whatever ways possible to continue the good
work you have done so far for our country.
America needs you.

Thank you again, Mr. Secretary. We wish you
all good fortune in the years to come.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

We hate to see you go!

I have just listened to your speech to the National Press Club (January 10, 1977). It will remain a great document.

I would be most appreciative if you would send me a copy of that speech.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

I glow every time I read, see or hear how
Washington and the nation, now that you are
leaving office, reminds itself what an out-
standing job you have done as Secretary of
State.

I can only wish you good health and express
the hope that regardless where you serve,
you will lend your talents and speak out on
the issues which affect peace for the world.

My "glow" comes from the fact I have had to
argue with people who should know better over
your sense of devotion to your religious heri-
tage and concern for Israel's future.

Best wishes.

The Honorable Henry Kissinger
