KISSINGER, HENRY A.
KISSINGER, HENRY F.
TO CARTOONS [15]

Oberammergau, 4 December 1972

Dear Henry,

This is the time of the year when greetings and wishes circulate
and when one might even consider to impose on your valuable time.

I don't have to tell you of the great interest with which we follow
not only your great national and international role which will be
part of our national history, but also the rise of Henry, a man we
knew so well.

Enclosed is a copy of an appealing German cartoon. Your extensive
collecting service may have shown it to you already. In later years,
in retrospect, you might be interested in a selection of significant
cartoons depicting your career. They might find a place in a bio-
graphy interpreted in a later vane.

Has the card mailed to you at the occasion of a pleasant evening at
the von Wachter home, when George Springer was the guest of honor,
reached you? We recalled the good old days when we all were so much
younger. George was crossing Europe, on his way home after a three
months' stay on some Pacific islands. Here he met his daughter and
his girl friend. They all had a wonderful time. George was apparent-
ly unaware that he had caught a tropical liver ailment. He passed
away in a NY hospital without ever reaching Albuquerque again.
I know that you maintained fairly close contact and you might be
informed of this tragedy. Still considering that George was
divorced, there might not have been a channel to let you know.
It certainly was a shock to all of us who have known his delight-
fully scintillating and warmhearted personality.

Dear Henry; as a man who circles the globe as though it were but a
ping pong ball - not a political referencel - your way might lead
you again to the Arabella House in Munich; then, why don't you give
me a call. Come and breathe the still fairly unpoluted air of
Oberammergaul

All the best to you. Good luck and, most of all; good health!

Happy New Year wishes you

IRTE!

Dear Henry,

I do not know how good your London press-cutting service is
nowadays but in case you have missed the enclosed cartoon in today's
London Times, I thought you should definitely see it!

We are all keeping our fingers crossed for your Paris negotiations
and I hope that in the New Year we will finally contrive to get together.
Meanwhile best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Yours ever,
Romee Fiosso.

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
Assistant to President of United States
for National Security Affairs
The White House
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:

It gives me great pleasure to send you, together with
my warmest wishes, my New Year greeting card (which
you are a part of, as you can hopefully identify) before
it appears in the press.

Through my political cartoon column, syndicated by
United Feature Syndicate to over 140 American newspapers,
you are a natural and favorable subject for my readers
and me, and I hope that I will have the opportunity one
day to invite you for a sitting so that I can serve my
readers from coast to coast in a more up-to-date and
careful rendering of your image.

February 2, 1973

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

One of your many admirers here in Tel Aviv is Zeev Farkas, Israel's top political cartoonist, and he dropped by the house the other night with a large reproduction of one of his recent cartoons which he asked me to send on to you.

Since he often takes the titles of popular U. S. television series in Israel for his cartoon captions he decided that "The Persuader" would be most appropriate in this case. The cast of characters around the globe can be readily identified.

Zeev hopes that this little touch of humor will be welcome during this very hectic period.

Warm regards.

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

What's taking so long?

They expected no major closings but predictably, a number of small depots in the supply effort Vietnam war would cut the budget ax.

brief news conference held at nearby Anh Force Base on his return to the North Atlantic. Organization meeting takes place.

at any cutbacks in military base structure weaken this confidence or its ability to the NATO rather, he described effort "to cut out the waste" and to "provide most defense with dollars."

the NATO meetings, he was heartened by a new sense of realization by the allies of the approach to security

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

GREETINGS go to you from out in Arizona !

We hope that our few lines of affection and
friendship find you well and happy - its been our intentions
to write for such a long time.

Oh no, you don't recall us, for Joyce and I
have never met you back in Cambridge, in Washington, D.C., or
here in Arizona, but we somehow feel that we know you well.
As an educator, statesman, and diplomat, you have won the love
and respect of Americans everywhere, and right fully so. We
also are indebted to you for your months of hard work just
completed in February on behalf of PEACE in the world.
Undoubtedly there are many everywhere who share our enthusiasm.

One of the best cartoonists in the country
lives in Arizona - his name is Reg Manning. Joyce saved these
two interesting cartoons from the Arizona Republic, and asks
me to send them to you for your album. That I am happy to do,
and we hope that you enjoy them.

Would you please sign a White House card for
us when your busy schedule permits, Dr. Kissinger ? We know
that you are at the White House often, and we also feel that
our President is fortunate in having you there.

IF and when your travels bring you out to
Arizona, Joyce and I will happily extend a hand of WELCOME,
and we look forward to that pleasure !
