Dear Miss Blanchard,

Just a note to let you know that Mr. Kissinger's
manuscript arrived safely and I'll bring it to Dean
Rostow's attention when he returns to the office.

Mr. Rostow inquired about it yesterday, and I
had just taken Mr. Kissinger's letter out of the file
to get your name and telephone extension when the mail
was brought in.

Dear George:

I have been trying several times to call you but it
appears that you are away for a well-deserved vacation.

I am writing this letter to ask you a very great favor.
I have been putting my thoughts on U.S.-European relations
into a book. In my absence in Europe, Joan is re-typing the
manuscript and I plan to turn to revision full speed when
I get back. (I have a publisher's deadline of November 1st.)

I know it is a terrible imposition but I wonder whether
I could possible ask you to read as much of the manuscript
as you possibly can to make whatever comments your time per-
mits. Your comments have been more helpful to me than those
of almost anybody else and it would be a great comfort to know
that I could have the benefit of your advice. If you find that
you can read only part of it, I would recommend Chapters III,
V and IV in that order. I would be extremely grateful.

Let me take this opportunity also to tell you how much I
have valued our association. You may sometimes have felt that
I had an odd way of showing it but the last two years have been
very difficult ones for me on a number of grounds.

I will fully understand if you decide that you are too
busy to read the manuscript.

I hope very much that we will stay in touch.

With warm regards.

Henry V. Knausler

Dear Henry,

I can hardly apologize for my delay in reading
your manuscript. The fault is great, but the causes,
alas, were well beyond my control.

I find it admirable, and I cheer. The book
should do a great deal of good, both in dissipating
the present unhealthy atmosphere, and in opening the
way for action. The time is highly propitious!

There are many minor points I would query. But
they will have to wait.

Meanwhile, I can't tell you how sorry I am to
have failed you, and how much I regret not having been
able to help.

Dear Henry,

Now I have had the opportunity to read twice, and with
so much profit and enjoyment, Chapter IV, and my copy is on
its way back to you.

This is such concentrated exposition and information that
I have very few comments indeed, except for occasional expres-
sions of particular pleasure at specific points. The only other
comments (and these very picayune) I can list in a short para-
graph:

P. IV-II-13: "Tracking surface ships within the radius of the range of their missiles should not prove altogether impossible". This is another "condensed" sentence, the meaning of which I think I understand, but it may be a bit obscure to some readers. Expand a bit?

P. IV-II-14, bottom of page: Secretary McNamara?

P. IV-III-5: Only want to comment that the reasoning on
this page seems to me extraordinarily important and good!

P. IV-III-20: "Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Alain Enthoven rejected the notion that even the smallest nuclear weapon was in a distinguishable category". Meaning: "Even the smallest nuclear weapon was nuclear"? This sentence could be clarified, I think.

It's been a privilege to read this chapter, as all the others!

With every best wish,

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger,

Dear Henry,

Of course I shall take care of your friend
Mrs. Thomas F. Darge. We'll see what we can find
that will be of interest to her.

I was very pleased when I went to the meeting
of our Atlantic Committee in New York the other day,
to be asked to read your manuscript officially.
I explained to Chuck and the others that I had
completely failed to read it unofficially and had
missed the lectures themselves, so that I was in an
excellent position to provide a detached view!

Yours cordially,

Dear Henry,

I have just returned from a flying trip to New Zealand
to find your welcome letter awaiting me, and with it a com-
plete copy of manuscript as it has gone to the printer. I am
more than grateful for it, and I shall be reading it once again
in the new form with the deepest interest. Then I shall await
its appearance eagerly - but by that time I shall probably not
read it in its bound form!

With thanks again, and every best wish,

Dr. Henry A. Kissinger,
