Dr. Henry Kissinger
Secretary of State
Washington, D.C.

Dear Dr. Henry:

Kathy and I just want to drop you a line and tell you
what a great job we and so many others think that you did for
our Country while serving as Secretary of State.

The one thing that I will never like about politics
is that we seemingly have to many politicians, that unless
things are going their way, for their party and unless they are
in the middle of things just have to oppose projects a good
man is pushing and accomplishing. To so many of us laymen
this just does not serve the best interests of our Country.

You sure had a lot of nit-pickers working on you but you
came out with a high batting average both in the projects which
you accomplished and in the minds of so many many American
people that want our country to prosper and stay at peace.

Now you can move on to other fields with a sense of knowing
that you done a terrific job for the Country as Secretary of State.

When you get around to writing a book on your works we
sure do want to obtain one.

Here is wishing you and your family our best.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

The purpose of this letter is to commend you on the outstand-
ing work you have done for this Nation during your tenure as Secre-
tary of State. Your unceasing efforts on behalf of world peace
constitute a great contribution to the betterment of our world.
Insofar as my parents are German Jews, it makes me feel even more
proud to realize that a person like yourself, of that same extraction,
has done so much in the pursuit of peace for the United States.

With every good wish, I am,

Washington, D.C.

Dear Dr. Kissenger,

This may be one of the last communications that
you will receive in your official capacity as Secretary of
State, but one of the many saying thanks for a job well done.

As a Political Scientist with an interest in the
field, I have followed your statements and decisions in the
past eight years with admiration. I also felt proud that I
had the pleasure to meet with you after one of your lectures
with PHD students at the City University ten years ago.

You will be missed by many and will remain in
history as one of our greatest Secretaries of State. I am
sure that your advice will be sought by the wise men of our
country.

May the Almighty continue to guide you and give
you many more years of happiness and health and the proper
respect that you deserve. Thanks again for what you have done
for the country and its citizens. Best wishes.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Just a brief note to express my thanks and appreciation for your many years of effort and energy on behalf of the American people to bring peace through the world. I realize that the newspapers at times have treated you unjustly and unfairly but I am absolutely certain that history will accord to you the title of one of the "most outstanding Secretary of State the United States has ever known."

I would hope that in whatever new position you choose you continue to be active
in your efforts to stimulate minds in the direction of peaceful negotiation.

Dear Dr. Kessinger:

This is to tell you that many of us think that
you have done a most excellent job in your tenure
in the Office as Secretary of State for our
nation and throughout the world.

To use a quote:" a Wise man is often without
Honor in his Own Country." which is the way it has
semed so many times but our confidence in your
ability to conquer each item as it came up and we
are pleased to have you working for us in the
State Department.

We know that you will enjoy your retirement, in-
asmuch as you will have no need to "catch a flight"
to other foreign places.

Secretary of State,

Honorable Henry Kissinger
Secretary of State
State Department
Washington, D.C.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

Probably one of the most unfortunate aspects of
the recent election is the fact that you will no longer
be responsible for this country's foreign policy. I
have admired your views and activities for many years
since I first read your book on nuclear weapons and
foreign policy.

I am sure I speak for the vast majority of
Americans in congratulating you on the many contributions
you have made to the welfare of this nation.

I would consider it a particular privilege to
secure an autographed picture of yourself if such is
available.
