Dear Dan:

I have written to the following people in London. Their addresses and phone numbers, where I have them, are on the attached sheet, and some of them may leave a message for you at the American Embassy.

Sir Michael Cary is the permanent head of the Admiralty. He is the son of Joyce Cary and one of the most charming and intelligent people I know. Michael Palliser is the McGeorge Bundy of Harold Wilson. John Thomson is presently head of the policy planning staff in the foreign office. Wayland Young (Lord Kennet) holds some position in the Ministry of Housing. He is one of my best friends, very witty, utterly perverse, and very left wing. He knows everybody if he chooses to exert himself, which he probably won't. Anne Piper is a somewhat hare-brained novelist, but one of my very favorite people--extremely sweet and kind and quite attractive. I have decided not to write to David Astor since he really does not communicate very well and is painfully shy. John Wright was formerly a high civil servant in the Ministry of Defence, now in Commonwealth Relations--probably intelligence. Have a good trip.

Best regards,

Henry V. Klaasenber

Dear Walt:

I am writing on behalf of Dan Davidson, who is now working as Special
Assistant to Bill Bundy. I have seen a lot of his work and have been
tremendously impressed with him. I am sure that Bill Bundy will also
speak for him. Davidson would like to change his job because he finds
that he has acquired as much experience in his present position as he
is likely to get. I am bringing him to your attention in case there
should be a vacancy on your staff. I know that the new Assistant
Secretary of Defense, ISA, is also considering him.

I am enclosing a curriculum vitae that Davidson gave me some months
ago.

Davidson does not know of this letter so there will be no difficulty in
ignoring it.

Warm regards and every good wish.

Dear Henry:

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help
my mother to get an interesting legal job in New
York City.

She is currently an attorney with the Housing
Development Administration of the city of New York.
Her job involves negotiating with landlords, tenants,
bank officials, insurance underwriters and mortgage
holders. When there are many violations against a
specific building and the rental of that building
provides insufficient income to cover necessary
repairs, she tries to arrange a mortgage moratorium
which will enable the landlord to accumulate enough
capital to pay for the necessary repairs.

She is a conscientious worker and is extremely
well thought of by her superiors and by the public.
However, she feels that her thirty odd years of legal
experience are underutilized and she is bored.

She is currently earning between $10,000 and
$12,000 and would hope to earn that much or slightly
more in any new job.

to Bundy re Dan Davidson. If you approve
it as written, please let my secretary
know so she can send it along.

LITTAUER CENTER
CAMBRIDGE 02138

October 15, 1968

Dear Mac:

Needless to say I was much moved by your deeply thoughtful speech. It was timely and insightful and should do good. But that's not what I'm writing about.

Henry Kissinger and I have decided that we should do all we can to dig up a study-and-travel grant for Daniel Davidson, which would give him a year of turn-around after next February. We have Dan under consideration for an Institute fellowship, but we have so few of these and competition will be so keen -- and the need to experiment with variegated types is so important -- that I can't promise to finance him locally.

Therefore, Henry and I have decided that I should put the issue to you on a standby basis.

Dan Davidson is currently Averell's Special Assistant and a member of the Delegation. He came into government from Cravath, Swaine and Moore on your brother Bill's invitation and served as Bill's Special Assistant for a couple of years. Dan was my student at Columbia College and has turned to me as "poppa" ever since. So I had a strong hand in prying him out of the law firm for Bill's sake. This is part of the reason why I feel impelled to beat the bushes for him now.

But there's more to it than that. Henry, whose excursions into diplomacy over the last two years will be familiar to you, regards Dan as an absolutely first-rate fellow and thinks he's been invaluable in his present capacity. He thinks, therefore, that this is a man of exceptional merit who should be given time to breathe, assuming he leaves the government with Averell.

This Dan tells me definitely he means to do. He wants to do some writing in the form of a good Law Review article or two, thus furbishing up his options for a Law School appointment if that's what he chooses to do next. He also wants to immerse himself in the academic literature on international relations in government operations, since he's been in the midst of diplomacy without having previously explored historical and other sorts of commentary. He wants to do his exploring in Henry's neighborhood and mine.

After a year in Cambridge, Dan assumes he would either dive into the right Washington law firm or maybe a Law School, or conceivably back to the government if the cast of characters were such as to make it promising -- a most uncertain matter at this juncture.

He has the qualifications for an Institute Fellowship, except that there's nothing experimental about him or his proposed use of time. Besides, he's a junior edition of Joe Califano, into whom we're prepared to put half our available funds for the spring. The balance we would like to use for a more speculative type of the sort we haven't had before, e.g., Sam Brown, or John Gilligan, if he loses, or both.

So I can't encourage Davidson about our local sources of funds. Yet Henry
and I both feel he's an exceptional fellow who ought to be given the opportunity.

Therefore, may I ask you to put him on your list of contingent liabilities,
to get your own line on him from Bill and Averell, and if you find, as I think you
will, that they share Henry's appraisal, could you then "stand by" to cover David-
son if we cannot?

I hate to bother you with matters so individual as this, but I'm working
on the premise that there's no escape from trafficking in single bodies when one
tries to do right at these levels.

I hope to see you soon on larger subjects. Last week I had a marvelous
talk with Bob McNamara about plans for new graduate programs in the School and
as soon as I can grab a day I'll come down to brace you and Dave on how our thoughts
are evolving.

Meanwhile, very warm regards to Mary, also to you.

Dear Dick:

I am belatedly enclosing five copies of my resume. There was some delay in getting a copy of the previous edition from my office in Washington. I removed your name from the new version because I thought that under some circumstances it might appear inappropriate. Another fact I left out but about which you might be asked is my current salary, which is $26,800.

Henry tells me that you've contacted Mac Bundy on my behalf and the Governor indicated that you've "displayed an interest" in my post January 20 whereabouts and that he very much approves. I am extremely grateful for what you are doing for me. It was wonderful to speak to you on the phone. The prospect of Cambridge fills Susan and me with joy--a period for calm study and thought, a civilized schedule or at least one which I can control and being near the Neustadts. It is hard for us to imagine anything more pleasant. The last few sentences seem to gush a bit but that is how we feel.

I will phone you in about a week.

Our best to all the Neustadts.
