DRAFT LETTER FROM SECRETARY TO GHIRONZI

His Excellency
The Secretary of State for
Foreign and Political Affairs,
Dr. Giancarlo Ghironzi,
San Marino.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I was glad to have had an opportunity,
however brief, to make your acquaintance and to
learn of your activities in the United States.
Assistant Secretary Hartman has informed me of
the more lengthy and very useful discussions which
he had with you. I am happy to learn that you
consider your visit to the States to have been
a success.

Thank you for the thoughtful gift of
coins and stamps which I shall value as a souvenir
of our meeting and your visit.

With best regards,

My dear Mr. Kissinger:

We are most grateful for your encouragement and
support of the National Symphony/WGMS Radiothon.
Our goal this year is $100,000 and with your help,
I know that it will be reached.

The enclosed premium catalogue has been widely
circulated, with over 100,000 having been distri-
buted to our supporters throughout the greater
Washington area.

Please try to join us at Les Champs in the Water-
gate on September 5, 6, and 7. Jerry Lyman and I
are personally grateful to you for your interest
and support.

WALTER LIPPMAN

Died 14 December 1974

All the world praising
Can I understand?
Life's richness - columns,
Oracles left for our time-
Life comforts impoverished-
Yet, you relish the news of the day-
Sun, splashed across your room,
The Christmas plant gay,
Did your eye see?
The incessant drum in your head-
Restless despair.
Death's chill fanning you
I, the stranger wanted to comfort-
What crystalline, cascades of words-
Matter, in that tattered bundle of flesh, and bone?
You will not whine, or rock at your
Mooring - as a boat in a storm --

Doris I. Gibbs

His Excellency Walter Amberg,

February 10th '74

Your Excellency,

I am a British subject who you may well know of, given your
percipience about English Literature (I've written 5 books published by
Secker and Warburg in London as well as by Viking Press in New York, was
one of the nominated Academy Award winner for my screenplay of 'Sunday
Bloody Sunday', I wrote for 7 years as a film critic of the 'Observer' in
London and now spend a good deal of every year as critic emeritus writing
on the New Yorker and writing fiction for them).

My visa status was for a long time E1 and for the last year
has been E1, though there has been endless bureaucratic complications
about getting the visa stamped into my passport because every time I have
been in my Chester Square home in England your visa department have referred
me back to Washington for speed, and every time I come to New York to work
I am too short of time to go to Washington. I have today been in a state of
emergency because there is urgent need for me to come to England and at the
same time leave my small daughter in New York and obviously need to be
certain of getting back to her. I am sure you will understand a parent's
feeling.

All the forms have been approved for many months and my valiant
assistant, after we have spent the whole of Sunday on the telephone to
your staff pleading for local help in New York, is taking the 4.15am
train to Washington to get the visa stamped into my passport. I should
like to thank your staff for their benevolence to us on the Sabbath. Mr.

Dear Henry:

There is a very special new film which will open in Washington soon called MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. It is an Agatha Christie mystery thriller starring many of the greatest performers in the world.

We would like to invite you and your wife to attend the Washington premiere on January 19 at the American Film Institute in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Please also join us afterwards for supper in honor of Sidney Lumet, the director, and Lauren Bacall, one of the stars of the film. It is possible that Rachel Roberts, Sean Connery, Anthony Perkins, and Richard Widmark will also be with us that evening.

The film will be shown at 7 o'clock; the supper will begin at approximately 9:15 in La Bibliothèque which is on the third floor of the American Film Institute in the Kennedy Center. Dress will be informal. Please let Carole Segal at the Institute (833-9300) know if you can join us and she will arrange to have tickets for you.

It promises to be a wonderful evening and, if your schedule permits, we look forward to seeing you then.

Best regards.

Dear Henry and Nancy:

We hope you will join the Trustees and friends of The American Film Institute in a celebration of AFI's 8th anniversary at a screening and candlelight supper at the Kennedy Center on Thursday, May 29th at 7:30 p.m.

This should be a happy occasion, and to insure that it will be, we are going to show one of the brightest and most enjoyable of all the movies ever shown at the AFI Theater -- one of the funniest movies ever made, Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last." Harold Lloyd is a great figure in the history of American film and the survival of this comedy classic symbolizes the importance of AFI's goal of saving great films for posterity and for audiences to enjoy.

As a special added treat we will show a new short film, "Wednesday," starring Jack Lemmon, made by one of AFI's most talented students. We hope Jack Lemmon will be able to be with us.

Charlton Heston, the Chairman of AFI's Board, and the Trustees of the Institute will be in Washington for the 23rd meeting of AFI's Board, and they look forward to seeing you.

We hope you can come. The screening will begin at 7:30, with the supper upstairs in AFI's Bibliothèque following the screening. Kindly R.S.V.P. to Dale Newson (833-9300), and she will arrange tickets.

We hope that you will join us for the premiere of a very
special series at the American Film Institute -- "Blacks
in American Films."

The opening evening on September 16th will offer a unique
opportunity to see a compilation of excerpts from the most
memorable films in which Black-Americans have been involved
throughout the years. From the slave dramas to the musicals,
to today's family stories and melodramas, this film montage
will show the remarkable contributions made by Blacks to
American motion pictures. Included, of course, are the
outstanding performances by such exciting film artists as
Paul Robeson, Sidney Poitier, Cicely Tyson, James Earl Jones,
Lena Horne, and many more.

The film will be shown at 8:30 p.m. in AFI's Kennedy Center Theater; a supper will follow immediately in La Bibliothèque, which is on the third floor of the American Film Institute in the Kennedy Center. Dress will be informal. Please let Dale Newson at the Institute (833-9300) know if you can join us for both the film and the supper.

We expect this to be an extraordinary evening and we look
forward to seeing you.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

On behalf of the West Virginia Historical Drama Association, I would Like to take this opportunity to extend an early invitation to you and your guests to attend the 1974 Opening Night performance of "Hatfields & McCoys" on the evening of June 22 at Cliffside Amphitheatre in Grandview State Park. This evening will also mark the beginning of the fourteenth season of professional outdoor theatre in West Virginia.

"Hatfields & McCoys" tells the true story of the world-famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky. Through this state's dramas the Drama Association attempts to stimulate pride and interest in the history and culture of West Virginia and actually all of Appalachia.

We would be honored to have you with us in southern West Virginia on June 22 for this very special evening. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest possible convenience regarding this event, and I hope that your answer will be "yes." Thank you.
