SUBJ: Your trip to Pittsburgh

Attached is a memo by Bob Houdek on your trip tomorrow. You will note the take-off time from Andrews is 9:00 AM. Therefore, I have not arranged for a car to pick you up at the house at 8:45 to take you to the White House for breakfast. I have also told Nevin that he should stick with the original plan and meet you in front of your house at 8:20.

John Campbell, who will also be riding up with you, will meet you at Andrews AFB.

In your refrigerator you will find butter, bacon and eggs. On the shelf you will find bread, and instant oatmeal. For a slight fee I will even be glad to come over and cook it for you.

Seriously, I think the easiest thing for you to do -- given the early hour of departure -- is to eat a light breakfast at home. Remember, you will have brunch in Pittsburgh shortly after you arrive.

# TALKING POINTS

## General

- I wish to thank the University for the Honorary Degree which you have bestowed upon me today.

- While not having been cited for achievements in space like my friend Colonel Borman, I have on occasion been accused of "far-out" thinking.

- As a seasoned veteran of three months in government, I have no new thesis to expound - so you need not brace yourselves for any lengthy speech.

* * * * *

Rather than speak to any current foreign policy issue in so short a period (5 minutes) it is suggested that you reflect briefly on some of your writings on the foreign policy process, in light of your past three months' experience, relating your remarks to how students and scholars of international politics can perform their unique function without losing relevance to U. S. foreign policy. The following are suggested themes:

1. The traditional weaknesses of the U. S. Foreign Policy Process

- Policy of administrative consensus

- Excessive pragmatism

- The fragmented ad hoc approach

- The propensity to abstraction and "theology"

2. The lessons of experience

-- Inherent obstacles in the governmental process to creativity,
relevance, and the pursuit of purpose

-- The difference in the role of intellectuals when they are "in"
and when they are "out"

3. The contribution to policy by students and scholars of international politics; how they can be relevant though creative

Dear Sir:

As member of the University of Notre Dame Senior Class Fellow Award Committee, I have the honor and pleasure of informing you that you have been nominated for this year's award. As you may know, the history of this award is as deeply engrained in Notre Dame's tradition as its founder, Father Sorin, who started the program as the Washington Day Exercises. In recent years the activity has been known as the Patriot of the Year Award, an honor which we at Notre Dame are proud to say has been given to such men as President John Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy, Senator Everett Dirksen, and Ambassador Adlai Stevenson.

This year the Senior Class seeks not simply a patriot, but a distinguished American who has contributed to the social, intellectual, or political vitality of this nation and who, at the same time, can contribute to the spontaneous, intellectual give-and-take life at Notre Dame by entering into free and open discussion with its seniors. The Senior Class feels that you are such an individual.

To accomplish these goals, the Fellow is invited to spend three or four days on our campus, living and associating with the Senior Class as much as possible by dining and talking with small groups. The

program is culminated on the last evening with the formal
presentation of the award and an address before the entire
university community, as well as the public.

I regret that at this time I cannot inform you if you
have been selected as the Senior Fellow. In past years the
individual elected by the Class has occasionally been unable
to visit the campus personally. To avoid the resultant
embarrassment to the Class and the University of having to
 invite the second or third choice of the Class, we are
attempting this year to first determine who is interested in
the award. Our scheduling this year is extremely flexible.
Any week between February 7 and May 7 would probably be
satisfactory for us.

Included in the award, of course, is a financial honorarium,
but we do hope that the inducement to accept will be one of
pride at being selected and being able to contribute to
university life here at Notre Dame.

As one of the few men who survived the initial balloting
by the Senior Class last spring, we would appreciate hearing
from you to determine your interest in the award and in
visiting Notre Dame. If you are able to come, your name will
be placed on the final ballot in February. And, if you are
selected as the Senior Fellow, we will immediately inform you
of this honor, the greatest one that the Notre Dame Senior
Class can bestow on any individual. We will also then
extend a definite invitation to you and your wife to come to
Notre Dame.

Washington, D.C.

My dear Henry,

I have been asked to write to you by the
Traveler's Aid Society of Chicago. Each year
the Traveler's Aid Society has given an award
for distinguished public service. This year,
the Society plans to give three awards for
distinguished public service in various fields.
One in the arts, one in the particular problems
of the immigrant communities in America and one
for general public service.

I have recommended your name to the awards
committee, on which I serve, for the award in
public service and my recommendation has been
accepted.

The Association would like to invite you,
therefore, to visit Chicago on the evening of
April 23 to receive the first major award in
this field.

There would be an occasion for you to make a
public address if this is appropriate and accept-
able to you.

Let me say personally how delighted I am
at this turn of events and I hope that you will
find yourself able to accept.

THE STORY OF THE IMMIGRANTS' SERVICE LEAGUE

1907 was the first year in which European immigration soared over the one million mark as the newcomers crowded Ellis Island and then drifted into the heartland of America. For many of them, Chicago was the destination where they looked forward to being reunited with relatives and friends.

Among them were thousands of unaccompanied unmarried young women who had arrived at Ellis Island with the traditional "slip of paper" which carried the address of the persons who expected them in Chicago. Too often, however, the slip of paper was lost or the address turned out to be the corner saloon frequented by their nationality group—or the address of utter strangers who had never

heard of them. In the year 1909-1910, twenty percent of the girls
expected in Chicago never arrived and were never found!

Immigrants risked other hazards on their journeys to the Middle-
west. Obligated to buy the cheapest railroad ticket available, they
frequently found themselves traveling on hopelessly indirect routes to
Chicago, arriving in the city days later than anticipated. If not met
by anyone (often the case), they were then delivered into the hands
of the draymen whose practice it was to load their luggage, drive a
few blocks and then dump them off after relieving them of their
remaining money.

But once the immigrant had settled here, found lodging and a
12-hour-a-day 6-day-week job, he saved his money frantically to

bring over his wife, his sister, his brothers and finally his parents.
In most instances, he diligently deposited his savings in a private
bank or steamship ticket office operated by a fellow national-only
to discover too late that these agencies were often operated by one
man who "disappeared" overnight with the money to set up shop
in another promising location.

During these early years of the new century the immigrant was
exposed to other perils. Free to practice their phony cures, quack
doctors lured the newly-arrived stranger with advertisements (in
native language newspapers) claiming exaggerated medical skills.
Unbelievable and needless suffering resulted at the hands of these
false practitioners.

(continued)

A PROTECTIVE ORGANIZATION IS FOUNDED

Indeed, the lot of the immigrant was a difficult one, and had it not been for a growing concern among Chicago's enlightened citizens, the abuses would have remained unchecked for a much longer period. But fortunately—and perhaps inevitably—the desire to do something about the bewildering problems faced by these newcomers found its most vocal support at the Hull House supper table. Here, discussions of their plight by Jane Addams and her dedicated companions ultimately led in 1908 to the formation of the League for the Protection of Immigrants (changed to the Immigrants' Protective League in 1911), with Grace Abbott as Director and Judge Julian Mack as President of the Board.

For the next thirteen years Miss Abbott headed a small staff of

devoted workers supported by a Board of representative and leading citizens—a tradition maintained over the years.

She was succeeded by Miss Marian Schibsy who directed the staff until 1925 when Miss Iris L. Wood was appointed staff supervisor, serving the organization for only a brief period until Mrs. Kenneth F. Rich was named Director early in 1926. Upon Mrs. Rich's retirement in 1954, Mrs. Ione DuVal was appointed Director.

Although the first World War stopped the surge of migration from Europe, it did not eliminate the problems of the immigrant. The separations by detention at Ellis Island, the post-war arrivals without the necessary papers which had been confiscated, the deportations—only created a new set of problems.

During the early twenties the heavy influx of immigrants to Chicago continued to keep the League's small staff taxed to caseload

capacity. Then in 1929 and during the depression years that followed, a new and different problem faced the League workers. Some immigrants, fearful of joining the growing ranks of the unemployed and, at the same time, reluctant to go on relief, sought the League's help in returning to the "security of their homeland cottage". Others, distressed in discovering that they were not citizens as they had thought (through parents' or spouse's naturalization or their own army service), hurriedly made out their first papers so they could qualify for WPA jobs.

By the middle thirties and continuing throughout the years of World War II, additional problems were brought about by relatives of immigrants who were lost in the upheaval and had to be traced through international agencies. Emergency legislation for displaced persons made it possible for Americans to sponsor friends and

relatives, but the job of how to help them became the responsibility of organizations like the League.

In recent years, immigrants for the most part, came to join relatives or friends who had made out affidavits of support for them, and the dangers of serious exploitation or getting lost were minimal. But as laws and administrative rulings become more complex, they may work unintended hardships on individuals and their families. It is the job of the League to try to help these individuals, to interpret the facts to the immigration authorities and to make special problems known to legislators who can secure individual and overall legislative corrections.

## REFORMS STIMULATED BY LEAGUE

Many reforms can be traced directly to the efforts of the Immi-

(continued)

grants' Service League (so renamed in 1958) over its five decades
of service to the Community.

(1) The League worked for Federal supervision of and aid to the immigrants from the time they left Ellis Island in interstate traffic to the point of destination. It argued that since the "head tax", variously $2 to $10, actually gave the government a profit of 2 million dollars a year over expenses, the government could afford to spend funds for in-travel protection. The League finally convinced the authorities to subsidize travel but not to the degree it had hoped.

(2) The League worked for and won State control over employment agencies which charged exorbitant fees for jobs often never produced.

(3) The League pressed for State legislation to control the banks

and savings depositories where innocent immigrants had placed
their family savings.

(4) Within the city, the League worked with Lucy Flower of the Chicago Board of Education to establish what has since become the Americanization Division—bringing English and citizenship instruction to the schools, churches, club rooms, and settlement houses—and now even to the industries where newcomers are employed.

(5) For over 40 years, the League has worked actively to arouse public sentiment against the unfair provisions of the so-called National Origins Bill of 1924—first by legislating for enlarged quotas and providing the pooling of unused quotas; then by agitating for the removal of restrictive provisions on permitting certain close relatives to come non-quota; and in recent years,

by campaigning for support of the new immigration law based not on a man's race but on the skills needed to fill gaps in our economy.

## TODAY'S IMMIGRANTS FACE THE SAME BASIC PROBLEMS

In spite of some reforms, immigrants of today must still learn a new language, become self-supporting, adjust to strange customs in a strange country and learn how to become citizens.

Learning a new language is demanding enough. But who explains credit borrowing and buying? Who teaches the immigrant how to use the Chicago transportation system? Who explains the deductions from his pay check? Or how to become a citizen? Or how to go about

bringing relatives to America?

Who helps the refugee without papers? Who counsels a newcomer admitted under the wrong category? What about the stranded student faced with deportation because his money has run out? What about the visitors (nurses, teachers, engineers) who are invited to stay if their status is changed to that of permanent residents?

Each year over 5000 immigrants—newly-arriving in Chicago, seek the help of the League in one way or another. To the limit of its ability and available funds, the League endeavors to guide these people through a maze of technicalities in achieving citizenship; in reuniting families; in locating loved ones abroad; in finding homes, employment and education.

Today the League is so well known that such organizations as

(continued)

Church World Service, International Social Service and the Red Cross refer cases to the League and freely use the League's facility and help. In a joint effort to solve individual problems the League also works closely with the Chicago Board of Education, the Legal Aid Bureau, many of the local public and private welfare organizations, foreign consulates and the U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Less than half of the League's support comes from the Community Fund of Chicago. The rest, from friends. You can help immigrants to Chicago share your heritage of freedom and opportunity by a gift that will enable the League to carry on the work started by Jane Addams. Any amount you give will be gratefully received ... and, of course, is tax deductible.

## President's Message

You have touched the lives of 113,162 people in need of help -- right here in Chicago. These were the troubled travelers, the disadvantaged newcomers, the en-route military personnel who were helped by the Travelers Aid Society- Immigrants' Service League during the past year.

Travelers Aid Society- Immigrants' Service League is celebrating its first full year of merger, and it seems appropriate to share our "Happy Anniversary" with you. It is obvious to me that this was an altogether sound merger -- of two vital organizations representing over a century of combined dedication to the community -- anticipating many years of even more productive service in the future.

Most of you know who we are and what we do, but perhaps you may not be familiar with all our activities. Briefly, we step in when needed... to help the military man on emergency leave, desperately trying to get home...the runaway youth...the elderly...the bewildered newcomer... the immigrant seeking adjustment and understanding. We help them find their way in travel and daily living. Since trouble is not a clock-

watcher, we are located where troubled people can find us, and we are "in business". 24 hours a day, seven days a week! (lo)

Ours has been defined as a crisis-oriented service...one capable of giving instant help. Even when the complexity of a problem prevents immediate, complete solution, we provide instant protection...not only for the individual, but also for the community. Our "on the spot" intervention many times prevents a suicide, stops a runaway, or saves a life by obtaining immediate medical attention.

Although railway passenger service has been declining in recent years, there are more problem travelers than ever before. Much of our case load still arises in the railway stations; however, reduced fares have made air travel available to non-affluent travelers. As a result, many more distressed people "in flight" come to our attention at O'Hare. Last, but by no means least, is our office at the Greyhound Bus Terminal. Greyhound has developed a most effective advertisement "Leave the driving to us"... but many of the confused souls we help leave everything else to Travelers Aid.

Service to immigrants, a major aspect of our challenge, involves preparing newcomers for citizenship, counsel in times of emotional stress and family trial, cultural adjustment...helping them to adapt to our ways and our resources. All these are in our area of daily service. Our legal staff assists in immigration and naturalization problems when necessary. By our own citizenship, we help them become good citizens.

The great number of people served and the wide scope of their needs place Chicago TAS-ISL as the largest such service in the world.

Gratifying as this first year has been, it can hardly be considered a point for complacency. The problems facing our community are pressing, trying...and they do not readily yield to yesterday's solutions. They require enlightened, penetrating evaluation, truly innovative planning and courageous action if we are to respond adequately to the challenge. Responsibility for meeting these pressing needs does not lie just with staff member...it belongs to everyone, you and me, corporations and individuals alike. Only your continued support will enable us to do the job. We need your help, we solicit it, and we appreciate it.

And, so do the 113,162 people -- of many varied and diverse backgrounds and differing needs -- whose lives you touched. A piece of the cake truly belongs to you!

Sincerely,

John I. Jones
President

Service Report

Since their inception in the early 1900's, Travelers Aid Society and Immigrants' Service League have come a long way. TAS, in conjunction with the YWCA, began fundamentally as a protective service in the railroad stations to safeguard young women traveling alone. ISL, the inspiration of Jane Addams, established the first protective service to prevent the exploitation of immigrants coming into the city.

We have been officially merged for just one year, but through the years our services have expanded and our professional social work and legal skills have increased. Now as a single social agency we deal in every type of mobility.. the in-migrant searching for a better way of life, the immigrant seeking to be reunited with his family.

The primary function and philosophy of TAS-ISL have not changed with the years, but the emphasis and quality of our services have changed with the changing times. In earlier years, the work of both agencies reflected the mass movements and great social changes in our country. Now our mutual case load reflects the constant advancement in social service knowledge and legal skills. The agency is now seeing Biafrans, Czechs, Jamaicans, Haitians and many Latin Americans. This requires a widened knowledge and language skills from our staff.

Our most demanding and time consuming cases are protective services to the elderly and the child nobody wants. Our social workers have noticed a decided increase in wandering, un-easy youth and the alienated over-65. This vital social service to the metropolitan area seeks to prevent crises in the lives of people that otherwise might be propelled into the so-called "tax burden."

Migration is as old as mankind, and America is a nation of immigrants. Today TAS-ISL is needed more than ever to serve a mobile population in a changing, troubled world.

Mrs. Betty Gordon, Executive Director

Mrs. Ione A. DuVal, Director of Immigrants' Services

An average of 15,000 immigrants arrive in Illinois annually from all over the world and 11,000 of them come to the Chicago area. They want political and religious freedom, economic security . . . and new opportunities for their children.

The Immigrants' Service League helps newcomers make a new life . . . in a new world. By supporting Travelers Aid society, thoughtful Chicagoans bid them welcome and help them toward their goal of becoming good citizens and good neighbors.

# A Major Social Welfare Force in Chicagoland

There are many ways by which you can contribute to this important work that is so highly valued by the welfare groups devoted to keeping Chicago strong, vital and attractive. Most of those who help in this work make regular annual contributions in cash or checks. But there are other ways also. These include:

## Volunteering

More volunteers are needed to assist the social work staff in helping travelers, new-comers and immigrants. If interested, please call Volunteer Department, State 2-0950.

## Special Memorial Contributions

Travelers Aid Society is happy to receive special contributions in honor of birthdays, anniversaries, or as memorials for a friend. The gift will be applied to our General Fund, or as specified. Acknowledgements are made to the donor and to the family or person so honored.

## Gifts of Life Insurance

Life insurance provides an attractive means of making charitable gifts during life. In making your irrevocable transfer to Travelers Aid Society of Metropolitan Chicago, you will enjoy a deduction for the cash surrender value and also for each premium paid after the transfer. By this ongoing service contribution you perpetuate a force that adds still further to the total of human achievement.

## Gifts of Securities

If you are considering the sale of securities which have appreciated in value, a gift of these securities to Travelers Aid Society will save you the capital gains tax and still qualify you for a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities at the time of the gift.

## Gifts Coupled with Life Insurance

If you intend to leave property to Travelers Aid Society by will, immediate tax benefits can be obtained by anticipating that bequest and making a gift currently of cash or securities. Tax savings are possible even if you retain the income from such funds for life. Consult your attorney in making such a gift. May we suggest that you ask your attorney to include the following in your will:

> "I give and bequeath to TRAVELERS AID SOCIETY OF METROPOLITAN CHICAGO, a corporation organized not for profit under the Laws of the State of Illinois, for its corporate purpose the sum of _________ dollars."

## Volunteer Service Record

Award pins were again presented this year to volunteers who have served twenty years. Travelers Aid is one of the few agencies in the community to have volunteers of such long standing and we salute these dedicated people. Receiving their twenty-year pins at the Annual Tea were: Miss Eleanor Brandt, Mrs. Arthur Jens, Mrs. Louis Moore, Miss Marie Mortell, Mrs. Samuel Robertson, and Miss Sophie Stolk.

Fifteen year pins were presented to: Mrs. Sam Branson, Mrs. Rolla Burke, Mrs. Edith Chovis, Mrs. Donald H. Cravener, Mrs. Victor Haring,

Miss Elizabeth Pearl, Mrs. Kenneth Soderblom, and Mrs. Richard Vandekieft.

For ten years of volunteer service pins were awarded to: Mrs. Corinthia Hodge, Mrs. Marie J. Kelsey, Miss Katherine M. McAuley, Mrs. J. C. Rossetter, Mrs. Herman Schwab, Mrs. Richard Shure, Mrs. Clemmie Sosa, and Mrs. Frank Tobin.

We are indeed indebted to our volunteer team ...they perform an invaluable range of services for the agency.

MEMORANDUM FOR BOB HALDEMAN

FROM: Henry A. Kissinger
SUBJECT: Invitations from the Chicago Traveler's Aid Society and the Chicago Committee

I have received an invitation from the Traveler's Aid Society of Chicago to come to Chicago on April 23 and accept their Public Service Award which is given each year to a naturalized citizen for outstanding public service (backup material at Tab A). The Society is composed of many prominent members of the Chicago community and they expect 400 - 500 guests to attend the dinner at which the award will be presented.

The Chicago Committee has also asked me to come to Chicago to talk at one of their afternoon discussion meetings (backup material at Tab B).

The Traveler's Aid invitation has tentatively been accepted but I want to check it with you to see if you agree. If you recommend that I do it, it could easily be combined with an afternoon talk to the Chicago Committee.

Do you recommend that I accept:

Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
Special Assistant to the President

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

We are so delighted that you are going to be
with us at our Eleventh Annual Awards Dinner
to be held at 7:00 P.M. on Tuesday, April 23,
1970, at the Drake Hotel. The social hour
begins at 6:00.

We expect from four to five hundred guests
who will consist, as in former years, of
civic and social leaders of Chicago.

As you will see from the invitation, no
particular speaker has been invited, but the
program will consist of presentations of the
awards to outstanding naturalized citizens
and their responses. There will also be the
announcement of the new expansion of service
which is being dedicated to Mrs. Daggett Harvey.

Will you let us know what time you plan to
arrive so that we can arrange to meet you at
the airport?

We are looking forward to your participation
in this important evening.

Dear Bill:

Many thanks for all you have done for me in
regard to the Chicago Travelers Aid Society
and its honoring me with the Distinguished
Public Service Award. I am truly touched
by this kind gesture.

It is with great regret that I find I will not be
able to come to Chicago on April 23 for the
Award Ceremony. My schedule keeps me run-
ning at abreast-taking pace and I have found
that I simply must cut down. As I said in a
letter to Mrs. Edelman and Mrs. Dick, I
feel that under these circumstances it would
not be proper for me to accept the award.

I appreciate your kindness.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

At the beginning of each year, imitating "TIME," I preach a sermon with the same title. On Friday evening, January 8, 1971, I shall preach on the subject: "JEWISH MAN OF THE YEAR, 1970. In past years, among others, I have chosen Albert Einstein, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Mayor Briscoe of Dublin, Mendes-France, The Israeli Soldier, Herbert Lehman and others. This year I would like to choose you.

As you know, you are rather a man of mystery to American Jews. Mostly, we admire the high position you have in the administration, and generally we are proud of you. Having been in Israel several times since you have held your high position, I can tell you that there are many Israelis who positively admire you. Most American Jews, however, do not know what to think of you. I am among those who hold you in high respect.

The only reason, however, for my writing you this letter is to learn whether you consider yourself "Jewish," so that I may preach about you. I am not using this term in any theological, nationalistic, ritualistic or philosophical meaning. Are you, by your own definition, "Jewish?" If so, please let me know as soon as possible, so that I may have the pleasure, on January 8, before my modest congregation, of preaching about you as "JEWISH MAN OF THE YEAR 1970." If you request, I will not reveal the contents of your reply.

Looking forward to an early answer, and with great respect, I remain,

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

In connection with the Awards Dinner here next April 15, we would appreciate having from you a short biography and a glossy photograph for press purposes.

We have reserved a suite for you and Mrs. Kissinger, as our guests, at the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel and, in due time, we would appreciate knowing your flight arrival and departure schedule in order to arrange chauffeur service for you.

The awards dinner is black tie and begins with a VIP reception at 5:15 to exchange introductions and to permit advance TV news filming. This is followed by a general reception of 800 members and guests. At all times, a member of the dinner committee will be your escort.

At the award ceremony, following dinner, you are asked to reply in any manner you deem fitting after Father Carron makes the presentation. No speeches are required from our awardees.

Upon conclusion of the affair, around 10 o'clock, we assemble in the Presidential Suite of the Sheraton-Cadillac for night caps with Father Carron and other guests.

We are looking forward with great pleasure to having you and Mrs. Kissinger with us next April 15.

Dear President Carron:

Thank you for your letter informing me that I have been nominated to receive the annual award of the University of Detroit President's Cabinet. I am truly honored by this gesture.

As I am sure you can understand it is difficult for me to make firm commitments for several months in advance, but I shall certainly plan to attend your dinner on April 15 and hope that the situation will not arise which would force me to change these plans.

Please stay in touch with my office regarding specific arrangements for the evening. I look forward to joining you on April 15.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I have the great honor to inform you that the University of Detroit President's Cabinet has nominated you to receive its annual award honoring distinguished members of our society who, through creative leadership and extraordinary accomplishment, are contributing to the highest ideals of the American way of life.

The President's Cabinet is a group of Detroit's business and industrial leaders interested in the advancement of our University. Every year the President's Award Dinner is an exciting, interesting occasion not only for our University but for the City of Detroit. Civic leaders from all areas of our community have been present for this dinner during which the awards are bestowed.

In the past years we were pleased to honor Ralph Bunche, Max Fisher, Ogden Nash, James Roche, Walter Reuther, Whitney Young, Nicholas Katzenbach, Colonel James McDivitt, and many other outstanding citizens.

I am convinced that you truly merit the admiration of our Cabinet and this University and am sure that your attendance
