Dear Henry:

The University of Colorado is conducting its Thirtieth Annual Conference on World Affairs on the campus in Boulder during the week of April 3-9, 1977. I am enclosing a copy of last year's program to remind you of the nature of the affair. It hasn't changed too much since you were here in 1961.

I am writing you at this time in the hopes that you might like to put this on your calendar in case you find the Conference might be useful at this time.

With best personal regards and hopes that we will see
you in Boulder in April, I am

Dear Charlie:

I wanted to tell you how pleased I was to
see your name on this year's promotion list.
The list was a short one, and your advancement
is therefore doubly significant.

I said last June that we intend to continue
putting our ablest officers where their talents
can best be used without regard to age or rank.
Thus, it is gratifying to see that outstanding
performance is rewarded by promotion as well as
by assignment to responsible positions.

My warmest congratulations to you and my
best wishes for the future.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Congratulations on your brilliant speech and briefing to the Houston Civic Organizations luncheon. I know those attending the meeting came away impressed, as I am, with the invaluable work you are doing for our country. I sincerely hope you will receive the support you need to carry on this work.

The purposes and spirit of democratic government depend on the dissemination of vital information. Entrusting such information to regional civic and governmental leaders furthers our collective purpose and commitment, and will serve to sustain the national confidence. I feel certain the confidence you inspired in Houston will be transmitted by those present to the entire state. If from time to time you can meet with similar groups around the country, you will certainly achieve domestic consensus on foreign policy.

Please know I would consider it an honor if you should ever call on me for any service you may require in Texas. With every good wish, I remain

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Dear Friend:

Thank you for communicating your views with me about President Nixon. Several thousand other constituents have also been in touch with me. Some urge me to join in the clamor to impeach the President; others that I support the President.

Many, like you, have written me out of a sense of deep personal concern, and spontaneously. I have also been on the receiving end of the letter-writing campaigns sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union and the AFL-CIO.

In reading all of these letters, postcards, telegrams, and petitions, I have come to feel the inexcusable Watergate affair has caused many fine Americans to forget our traditional concept of justice. I, for one, still believe *any* person must be presumed innocent until proven guilty. On the basis of the present unsubstantiated allegations, I will not, and could not, support those advocating the impeachment of President Nixon.

I think you will be interested in the analysis of 890 letters, telegrams, and postcards demanding impeachment of President Nixon *immediately*, which came in during a two-week period. All of those persons writing me claimed to have voted for me in 1972. The majority stated they had voted for me in the June primary as well as general election. They said if I didn't vote to impeach the President they'd vote for someone else in 1974.

We decided to go beyond the name signed to the communication. We checked these 890 names with the records of the Orange County Registrar of Voters. The tabulation was as follows:

442 were Democrats; 123 were Republicans; 60 were independents; 9 were miscellaneous minor parties; and 256 *were not registered to vote*!

The significant statistic, to me, was not the registration by party but the fact that ALMOST 28 PERCENT of those demanding President Nixon's scalp were not sufficiently interested in our political process to exercise their voting franchise - if, indeed, they were *actual* persons.

THIS STATIONERY PRINTED ON PAPER MADE WITH RECYCLED FIBERS

- 2 -

If removal from office were just a way of expressing disapproval of his handling of Watergate, and if President Nixon were the only sufferer, then Mr. Nixon's political enemies may feel they have a case for his removal.

The President's enemies - and he does have more than his fair share - have been extremely vocal, even at the height of his political success and standings in the polls. Now, because of Watergate, the political anger against him raises on many fronts.

If Mr. Nixon were a Prime Minister in a parliamentary form of government, he might have been long gone by now. Under that system, political anger alone is sufficient. No crimes or misdemeanors need to be alleged. It's sufficient that the people, or their representatives, no longer "like" the Prime Minister, or his policies, or the way he governs.

Fortunately, ours is not that kind of government. Ours was designed with admirable wisdom so that the President of the moment would not be at the mercy of momentary political anger. Unlike the Prime Minister our Presidents are elected directly by the people. Our method of removal was made deliberately cumbersome by our founders to restrain both public haste and the impetuosity of adversary legislators.

We have never had a President resign his office. Nor has one ever been superseded for disability in office. Only once have we tried impeachment. That was in the case of Andrew Johnson. There, too, at the last moment the Nation rejected removal. Even as it was, the Johnson impeachment trial added to the bitterness and division of the country for more than 25 years. The removal of a President is no trivial matter. It should not turn on the greed for power by his political enemies. Nor should it be sought out of anger over the acts of some of his subordinates. It is a step to be taken soberly and advisedly - if, indeed, it is taken at all.

We have been deluged in Washington with the daily fare of "news" and comment, of rumors and allegations, of a President cornered and desperate who must resign, now or later, to save the Nation the ordeal of his removal by impeachment.

Is this real? No, it is not. Many of us have learned - and know - the reality. That reality is known to Congressman Carl Albert, the Democratic leader and Speaker of the House. He stands in direct line for the Presidency. He spoke his views to his home-state newspaper just the other day.

Henry Alfred Kissinger
Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

This letter is to ask your support and help in nominating
John Hannah and Sayed Morei for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Foundation has told me that nominations can be
made by former awardees.

My rationale for suggesting these two is because of their
efforts with the World Food Conference, the follow-on
activities of the World Food Council, and especially the
successful establishment of the International Fund for
Agricultural Development.

Surely their leadership in helping to solve the World Food
Problem is a step toward peace.

I would be happy to contact other former recipients if you
think that it would help.
