Mr. Kissinger,

We in America are quick at writing letters of protest, but reluctant in writing letters of praise. I believe that when history is written about our present times, you will be listed on the front page. During Nixon's term, he made many conflicting statements which I didn't like. During his first campaign he said "If a president promises to end the war during his campaign but fails, he shouldn't have a chance to run again." During his campaign he said "When I run for president, I run my own campaign but when Watergate came along, he said "Perhaps I should have spent less time in the Whitehouse, and ran my own campaign" in his second term. When you talked, you made so much sense, I often wondered what you thought of him, so much so that I was tempted to write and ask, but when the newsman easedropped on your conversation, I found out. Nixon's efforts to keep peace in foreign lands was made possible by our Secretary of State.

I was hoping that Jimmy Carter would keep you on in the very valuable position in which you served, but there are a lot of good men in Washington. The Vietnam can be a very good lesson to all of us. We must be alert and on our toes. The world has grown smaller, it's problems more complex, and the rich using the poor and black as is Africa is being tested. The poor in our country are educated. We are finding out that the mineral wealth used to sustain us, belongs to all of us. It was not put here to be handed down to son and grandson in the Chase Manhattan or a secret Swiss bank account while the poor go hungry. In America we have little worlds sectioned off in different areas. Bob Kennedy said it is suicide for two separate societies to live side by side. Being born and raised in poverty, I would like to see some one who knows what a hungry belly feels like in an important position in Washington, but poor people know there is no use to try.

I could go on and on but the purpose of this letter was to wish you and Nancy well in what ever you might undertake, and I know that our country will profit from whatever it may be.
