My Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The Board of Directors has asked me to write to you to
ask why a public statement concerning the missing-in-
action has not been made from your office.

We had every reason to believe that a public statement
would be made upon your return from Paris. There has
been no statement issued relative to the progress that
was made at your most recent meeting with Mr. Le Duc Tho.
Likewise, there has been no progress made toward the
accounting of the 1300 missing Americans we represent.

We should like a reply to this request prior to our
Board meeting on July 26. It is necessary that we
understand why no public protest has been made regarding
North Vietnam's failure to comply with the peace agreements
as they pertain to our missing men.

Brussels, June 4, 1973

Dear Henry,

Fritz Stern highly recommended to me your essay on Bismarck - 'The White Revolutionary'. The trouble is that neither of us knows where to find it. Could you possibly give me a reference or, even better, ask your secretary to get me a photo copy and send it to me at the Brussels address above. I am preparing one of our surveys, this time on Germany, and in the journalist's true fashion I am seeking useful historical cribbs.

A second item. Would you like a high level forum in which to get over some more detailed ideas for the Atlantic Charter, or its replacement! I have in mind a number of pages in *The Economist* which I would gladly recommend making available for a verbatim interview - I run the Europe pages which seem to have won a welcome readership among your clients over here. I would gladly come over to Washington at short notice for this.

It might only be worth doing if you took the opportunity to be pressed as far as possible on filling in the detail and/or possible options among which the Europeans might choose. I don't know what your strategy is, however it strikes me that the timing might be good coming a few weeks after the latest series of rather mixed bilateral summits.

Victoria goes to Saigon for six months this Saturday - assuming that they can tolerate her honest form of journalism for that long.

Best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

May I have a word with you?

More precisely, may I have a word *from* you?

My latest text book assignment is to assemble and edit a lexicon of the favorite words of authorities in the fields of arts, letters and sciences. The plan is for each expert to choose a particular favorite word, then to write a few paragraphs explaining the special significance of the word chosen.

The title of the resultant book will be "MY WORD!"
The projected result is to be an entertaining and informative vocabulary builder for anyone who enjoys words, but especially for intermediate and secondary students.

As our youth today tend to depend more and more on counterfeit words of their own dubious coinage, and, in almost epidemic proportions, to lace their conversation with weak portmanteau words and sparring intercalations such as "y'know", "well", and "but -- er", educators become increasingly aware of the need for strengthening the average student vocabulary. It is my conviction that new and vigorous interest in words can be generated if we present them in association with specific memorable uses, and fortify the choices with authoritative sponsorship such as yours would be.

As a guide for form, I am enclosing two specimen segments, one written by the distinguished actor, Walter Brennan, and the other, by the celebrated author, Richard Armour.

My deadline for editing is July 28. May I count on your participation? If you have any questions, please call me collect at (714) 870 0482.

Enclosure

Richard Armour

RICHARD ARMOUR is the author of 44 books as well as thousands of magazine articles and poems. In addition to being one of America's leading humorists, he has the ability to maintain a charming balance between what is waggish and what is serious. A Professor of English at Scripps College in Claremont, California, Dr. Armour is a modern master of light verse and perhaps the most widely published rhymester of our times.

Words, to me, mean more than their dictionary definition and connotation. They are not only long and short but light and heavy, rough and smooth. As a writer, and perhaps more in verse than in prose, I fit words together as a stonemason fits stones.

If I could take but one book with me to a desert island, it would be a dictionary. As it is, I am surrounded by dictionaries: old, new, big, little, American, British, as well as those helping me with foreign languages.

Almost every day I come upon a new word or find something new about an old word. Sometimes I play a little game, flipping the pages of a dictionary back and forth and discovering a word that interests me. Such a word is "slubberdegullion," a mean wretch, a base, slovenly boor. I could hardly wait to use it on the first slubberdegullion I met. I felt safe, should he be larger than I, because I would have time to flee while he was looking it up.

Often I have written articles on, or been stimulated by, a single word. I did this, for instance, in a piece for The Journal of the American Medical Association on the word "medicine" and its variations in usage since the fourteenth century. A large part of an article for Parents' Magazine was on the word "father," which I found cognate with "Jupiter," thereby gaining new status with our children. And I did a piece on "Thurber," which I playfully took to be the comparative of the word "thurb," "thurber," "thurbest," though I pointed out that James Thurber was a superlative writer.

Words, thus, are not only my building blocks, but a source of ideas. I suppose, therefore, that my favorite word is "word."

Walter Brennan

WALTER BRENNAN is the first and only actor ever to win three Academy Awards. Also honored with election to Oklahoma's National Cowboy Hall of Fame, and recipient of the coveted George Washington Medal of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, Mr. Brennan is a keen and dedicated student of America's history and heritage.

The entertainment industry strives not for vocabulary, but for an absence of it. The primary objective is to be understood. Dialogue therefore does not usually seek to educate, but, rather, to communicate, and to do so with clarity not cluttered up with intellectual buttons and bows. Some critics regard this as an indictment of the media. In any case, it is a fact of life to the performer.

Of course, what an actor does on his own time is his own business. I like to read. And I have many favorite words, cherished for their delicate nuances and, in some instances, their ancestry. *Caprice*, for example, with its derivation from a goat's head. Or *pumpernickel*, which you may wish to check out with Mr. Webster before using again. But the word most likely to light up my face when I hear it, or read it, is a simple one. I refer to the verb *separate*. And I would like to share with you my reasons for giving it special significance.

I was a third grade student at the old Robinson Street School in Lynn, Massachusetts, and my grade in spelling would have been 100% except for one mistake. I substituted an "e" in place of an "a" in the second syllable of separate. The word came out "seperate".

Inasmuch as this is a frequent error, even among adults, I do not associate my failure with any traumatic experience. What I recall so vividly is what my teacher, Miss Lamont, said when she corrected me. First, she wrote the word correctly on the blackboard. Then, she erased the two letters "p" and "a", and asked me to name them. I did.

"Now, Walter," she asked, "what do those two letters spell, all by themselves?"

"Pa," I replied.

"Exactly," she said. "Now look at the word again, Walter, and try always to remember: if you take away the 'Pa', you *separate* the family."

I never forgot how to spell that word. More important, perhaps, I never forgot that Miss Lamont was teaching all of us two things at once. Besides correcting the spelling error, she was impressing our class with the value of the family as a unit.

Particularly in this day of global thinking, when the family as a cohesive force appears to be lost in the meat-grinder of computer card humanity, I often think of that word and how it came to have a very special meaning to me.

I enjoyed your remarks which I found most interesting. The way you "fielded" the questions showed that you really are a pro. Congratulations!

I hope that the President's new Vietnam policy will bring the results we all hope and pray for. In addition, I hope that the President's visit to the Soviet Union will not be cancelled and will prove to be most fruitful.

Continuing best wishes.

LOS ANGELES -- Twelve nominees for the title of "America's Most Sensuous Man" have been selected by members of the Frasier (the Sensuous Lion) Fan Clubs, it has been announced by Mrs. Marilyn Arcoli, of Los Angeles, president of the nationwide organization.

The winner will be determined by popular vote, Mrs. Arcoli said, with selected newspaper columnists and radio-tv personalities conducting the poll.

awaiting "America's Most Sensuous Man" will be The Golden Frasier, a trophy sculpted in the likeness of Lion Country Safari's famous old (the human equivalent of 85) lion who recently sired 33 cubs in a 16-month span. The winner will be announced in late summer.

Meanwhile, the 12 nominees have been invited to be Frasier's special guests at "a roaring reception" next Thursday afternoon at The 2nd Storey, a restaurant in Marina del Rey, Calif.

"The nominees have been chosen for their sheer sensuality and animal magnetism, regardless of age," said Mrs. Arcoli, who added that Frasier Fan Clubs are blossoming throughout the country.

In alphabetical order, she said, the men chosen for the 1972 tribute are: Bill Ballance, Kirk Douglas, Merv Griffin, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Dean Martin, Ricardo Montalban, Paul Newman, Burt Reynolds, Cesar Romero, Doc Severinson, Rudy Vallee and Flip Wilson.

Ich bin der Sohn von Frau Marie Köhler Geb. Schaller in Nürnberg Fürtherstr. 96. Die Schwester meiner Mutter war Frau Sophie Kissinger Geb. Schaller, zuletzt wohnhaft in Fürth. Aus dieser Ehe gingen einige Söhne und eine Tochter namens Thekla hervor. Ich weiß noch daß der Ehemann meiner Tante Sophie Besitzer einer Lederwaren und Spiegelfabrik in Fürth gewesen ist. Sollten Sie dieser Familie Kissinger nicht angehören, so bitte ich Sie diese Anfrage zu entschuldigen. Im gegenteiligen Fall würde ich mich über eine Nachricht von Ihnen sehr freuen, auch betr.

Dear Henry:

I think it grand that you're succeeding Mac and Walt. It augurs
well for President Nixon's Administration that he made such a
thoroughly professional and broad-guage choice for this critical
post. Since one hears that Mr. Nixon (whom I observed in action
during NSC days as Bob Amory's NSC deputy during 1957-60) will
largely make his own foreign policy, your job becomes even more
critical.

As a recent Vietnam veteran -- from the period *after* we had lost
most credibility but *during which* we finally began getting the
payoff from our investment, I have one thought worth passing on.
Many Establishment people in Washington seem to have lost touch
with the situation out in Vietnam. They have so discounted the
possibility (the likelihood if we play our cards right) of
achieving a favorable settlement -- either negotiated or *de facto* --
that they no longer show much interest in the unanimous judgment
of our senior Saigon team that we are well on the way to breaking
the enemy's will and ability to win. But as some of us saw out
there, and as Enthoven's DOD whiz kids have demonstrated statisti-
cally, the enemy broke his own back militarily by his three 1968
desperation offensives.

Our greatest military problem in Vietnam has been to find and fix
the enemy so that our superior weight and fire power can be
brought to bear. Fortunately, Giap solved the problem for us by
attacking cities in 1968. As one who spent 2½ painful years
making Vietnamese bricks without straw, I think it demonstrable
that even pacification too is now making substantial headway --
mainly because we finally created a program worthy of the name
which is enabling us to exploit the opportunities created in the
countryside by the enemy's "big unit" losses. In sum, whatever
one may think of our past performance in Vietnam -- or of whether
we should even be there, we are achieving what we set out to do.
This may no longer be the main determinant of our future policy,
but it should be taken into account.

Special Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs

Washington, D. C.

Dear Henry:

Let me break my vow not to be one of those old boys who shower the new team with gratuitous advice. Vietnam is too important.

Instead of the Washington community indulging itself in yet more evaluations and critiques, why not light the torch under those few programs which might make a critical difference in the time we have left?

One of these is Phoenix, which is limping badly from all I hear. Yet no program is more vital as we shift toward a political phase. When inventing Phoenix, I tried to focus on all key aspects--not just identifying and locating the VCI and picking them up but also adequate detention facilities, enough courts to try them, fingerprinting and mug shots to act as deterrents, and prisons to put away the guilty.

But there's all the difference in the world between program and performance--not least in Vietnam. Moving Vietnamese mountains takes unremitting pressure from the top--one reason why I kept personally pushing Phoenix, selling it to the GVN, goading province chiefs and advisors, constantly probing for weak points and trying to shore them up. One of the weakest was GVN management. They still haven't put really good people into running Phoenix as well as it deserves.

Ergo, if Washington wants to get Phoenix moving, it should keep harrying Saigon. Urge Bunker to chivvy Thieu and Khiem, require monthly program reports, write a personal Kissinger to Colby letter, see what more the Agency can offer (don't let Phoenix become over-militarized), propose an action program, and bombard Saigon with pointed questions--how is the detention program to build more prisons doing, how many more courts are there, why isn't the National ID Card program moving faster, why don't the provinces send back fingerprint cards to the immense central facility we built in Saigon, why don't Thieu and Khiem put a top-notch man in charge of Phoenix (perhaps move over General Phong from the RD Ministry; Phoenix

["The Honorable Henry Kissinger", "14 November 1969", "L-21710", "is much more important)? Even send out a special team to recommend quick fixes. I've been accused of a lot of things, but I don't recall anyone saying I didn't know how to get MACV and the GVN to perform.", "Only one caution--relatively prompt results are so much of the essence that we can't afford the loss of precious time required for any radical overhauls. Bob Thompson and other critics are dead right that we should have done more to set up a big Malaya-style Special Branch operation back in the late Fifties or early Sixties. But it takes years to develop real professionalism along these lines--and even by mid-1967 when we got Phoenix started there wasn't enough lead time. There's even less now.", "One curse of the U.S. effort in Vietnam has been that the people who knew best what needed to be done were rarely very good at getting things done--however imperfectly. What we need most now are some practical ways to get marginally better performance--fast. It might just turn the trick.", "RWK:bg", "In addition to the Washington talk, there are a number of other problems that need to be addressed. The main one is the lack of a clear and well-defined end to the war. I tried to focus on all of these, and to see if there are any conflicts or inconsistencies, especially in the Vietnam资料, but I could find nothing that would prevent the end at present, and I don't think there is any good reason to change that.", "But there's all the difference in the world to air forces not least in Vietnam, having to deal with the problems of the war from the top, one reason why I had to focus on all of these, and to the GVN, getting the right policies and laws in place, and to the VC, getting rid of the bad guys, and to the North, getting rid of the bad guys, and to the South, getting rid of the bad guys, and to the South, getting rid of the bad guys, and to the North, getting rid of the bad guys, and to the North, getting rid of the bad guys, and to the South, getting rid of the

An Herrn

President Richard Nixon, Washington D.C. White House.

Sehr geehrter Herrn Kissinger:

Dr. Desiderio Kerossy, São Paulo, Rua Grajaú, 401 Sumare, Brasil.

Ich mochte erstaten von Ihnen eine Entschuldigung zu bitten, mit diesen Brief an Ihnen wenden zu dürfen, aber ich denke, dass alle gutwillige Menschen müssen diesen grossen internacionale Aktion, welche Sie in Auftrag von Richard Nixon, President von U.S.A. und jetzt zusammen mit dem President in China durchgeführt haben.

Mit Ihren unschätzbare Mitarbeit wurde so eine große Erfolg erreicht, dass die ganze Welt mitnimmt, ausser der Sowjetunion.

In diese Augenblick ist dass undergebniss noch nicht bekannt, aber soll es auch sehr bescheiden sein, verliert nichts von seinem weltweite Bedeutung. Es ist auch einmalig in der Weltgeschichte, dass ein President von Ihren Land eine derartige Unternahmung in weltweiten Sicht, so eine Diplomatie durchgeführt hat.

In der ersten Zeit, wie mann Ihre Staatsaparat kennt, wird bei der Kongress eventuell Schwirigkeiten gegeben werden, und so bin ich auf die Idee gekommen, meine Distanz Ihnen und durch Sie an dem President Richard Nixon auch angeboten werde.

Es ist sehr zutreffend dieses Sprichwoort, wenn schnell hilft, hilft doppelt. Deswegen mochte ich meine für unterentwickelte Länder ausgearbeitete landwirtschaftliche Arbeitsystem und auch meine Nekrungen in dem Landwirtschaft und Tierzucht durch Sie Herrn Kissigen an dem President Richard Nixon zu anbieten, damit ihm ein Mittel geben zu können, China eine schnelle Hilfe leisten zu können, mit seine schnelle Entwicklung und hohe Production, fast ohne bedeutende Ausgaben.

Diese neue Zuchtungsmethode wurde von mir für unterentwickelte Länder ausgearbeitet, mit der Ziel eine schnelle Entwicklung hervorrufen zu können und mit sehr hoher Produktion und Extrem luertivität, entsprechend unseren neuen Zeiten und so den so geflüchteten Hunger in Jahre 2000 vermeiden zu können.

Diese neue landwirtschaftliche Plan in Ende des voriges Jahres Durch Herrn Director Clark E. Holtscher der Internacionale Forest Service in dem Department of Agriculture in Washington an der Research Service geschiekt wurde, wegen Übersetzung auf englisch. Ausserdem wurde in mitte Februar eine Bitte an der Herrn President Nixon durch seine Financierung Unternahmung "Usaid" in Begleitung von der memorandär, Tabelle und Bitte brief (Briet) wegen Finazierung dasselbe Plan in Brasilien.

Diese Bitte wurde durch den hiesigen amerikanischen Gesandschaft in Rio de Janeiro geschiekt und sollte schon in Washington an der "USAID" angekommen sein.

Nachdem ich bisher keine englische Übersetzung habe ich meine bei dieser 2 offentliche Stellen diese Bittschriften, Memorandum sehr leicht erreichbar sein.

Die durchführung dieses Planes in China Realtung fast keine Ausgaben bedeutet, nämlich dort alle materielle sachen Statseigentum sind.

So ist es nicht anderes notig wie dorthin Sachverständiger zu schließen, in folgenden variationen:

1. Ich werde hier in brasilien der amerikanische Fachmanner mit dieser Plan in einzelheiten Bekant machen und trenieren.

2. Ich werde mit meiner assisten in Ihrem Land fahren und dort die Fachmanner trenieren.

3. Ich werde mit meiner assistent mit Begleitung von amerikanischen fachmännern nach China fahren und dort an Ort und Stelle diese Plan mit collaboration von China, verwirklichen und die ehrnesixxten agronomen einführen. und eventuell an der Universität Kanton Vorstellungen zu halten, Deutsch, Pottuguese und Ungarische sprache mit tolmetscher.

In Südstaten von China sind geignet sehr gut für diesen Neuen Plan, wie Kuan-si, Kuanling, Hunan Kinh-si und Fukien.

Ich hoffe dass ich mit meinem Angebot Ihren Land und Herrn President Nixon und die Welternahrung und damit der Wöltfriede gediint habe, grusst Sie herelich, Ihr ergener.

Mr. Richard P. Campbell

Washington, D. C. 20500

Dear Mr. Campbell:

As I recalled to you today, Dr. Kissinger agreed this past autumn to receive the five-man Soviet delegation due here last October and now coming to the United States February 18. The delegation was and is to be led by Boris Stukalin, Chairman of the State Committee of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers on Publishing, Printers and Book Trade.

Mr. Stukalin is probably the most powerful publisher in the world. He controls all book production, a great many printing plants, some paper suppliers and the distribution system for literature of all types.

The October visit, cancelled at the last moment ostensibly because of a heart attack suffered by Mr. Stukalin (but in reality caused by the belated discovery that another Soviet expert was at that time discussing copyright with U. S. officials as part of the overall trade arrangements between our two countries) has now been rescheduled, and the Washington leg of the visit is planned for February 22nd and 23rd, a Thursday and Friday. The Department of State and the Library of Congress will each offer a lunch for the five-man delegation (list attached) according to present plans.

I do not believe that Dr. Kissinger needs any special explanation as to why a quarter of an hour spent with these gentlemen would be very worthwhile for all those interested in both advancing U. S.-Soviet relations and enhancing American interests. Therefore, I shall simply repeat our hope that Dr. Kissinger will find a slot in his schedule for our visitors; as a former associate of Dr. Kissinger's I know how flexible any appointment will be and I am prepared to adjust the schedule of our Soviet visitors to accommodate him.

As I came to this country (from Prague, Czechoslovakia) at your kind invitation to attend the International Seminar at Harvard University in 1968, I feel obliged to inform you about my activities and future plans. After the end of the Seminar I lectured in the Boston aerea at different Universities in philosophy. Thus, I taught at Boston University, Tufts, Brandeis University and Harvard ( at JFK School of Politics). During this year 1969-70 I have been invited to teach at Boston College.

The political development in Czechoslovakia after the Russian occupation made it impossible for me and for my wife to return back to Prague. We decided to apply to the American Authorities for the permission to stay in this country permanently. I have been in close contact with Prof. Ben Brown who really helped me and my wife very much.

I should like to express my thanks to you for your invitation to USA that enabled me to come here.

I am following with great interest your activities and I wish you much success in your work.

Mr. Henry Kissinger
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs
White House
Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

This letter is a request for an interview on behalf of The Nihon Keizai Shimbun, which we believe is one of the largest and most influential daily newspapers in Japan. One of our subsidiaries is Channel 12 Tokyo, a nationwide T.V. Station. We are planning to do a special program on U.S.-Japan relations and would very much like to have your opinions on the situation at this time. Mr. Yasuo Takeyama, a Member of the Board of Directors and Chief-In-Charge of our Editorial Staff, is coming to the United States in order to gather material for this most important Special. Mr. Takeyama is considered to be one of the top journalist in Japan today.

Mr. Takeyama will be in Washington September 8th, 9th, 13th and 14th. We certainly hope, especially with the situation as it is, that you will take time out of your busy schedule to see Mr. Takeyama in order to give our Japanese audience the U.S. view of the present situation.

Kindest regards.
