Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Lloyd Shearer's article seemed to be an excellence
one. Many hundreds of thousands of Americans will read and
enjoy it, no doubt. But the final sentence made "someone
walk on my grave". I saw a terrible uprising of all the
Jew-haters of America, a screaming, inflamed, mass hysteria,
and its intimations.
brought on by this article./ So many have lost their loved
ones in this Viet Nam thing, and we have all lost respect,
admiration, fortunes, and decency because of it. And now
a great part will be laid at your door, thanks to Mr. Shearer.

Am I unduly apprehensive? Do I exagerrate the danger?
Am I too afraid of anti-semitism? Maybe so. But I write to
ask you to remember it too, and how it was in Germany where
you lost so much and so many. I am ten years older than
you are, and remember much better the horror of it!!

Why do I write? Only to say two things: first, thank
you for trying hard to do the right thing. I know you do;
and second, to beg you to either resolve the Viet Nam dilemma
at once, or step down and let someone who is not Jewish bear
the brunt of the American anti-Semite's hatred.

Thanks for reading this. I am sincerely grateful,

Dear Henry:

Now that you have survived the worst in sophomoric humor from
our Gridiron press corps, let me move in with a junior-level
barrage.

The natives are really restless about access to some members of
your staff, for cross-checks on stuff they get from lower echelons
at State, for insight on third-country situations (Moscow-Peking) and
for general guidance in the day-to-day appraisal of events.

One of my fellows, with bitter jest, remarked today that Halperin,
Sonnenfeldt and Snyder were seeing a group of Williams College kids
Firday at a time when, assertedly, they are too busy to see the press!

As you know, I think the gripes have some merit, and the terror you
have so brilliantly instilled in your staff -- while effective -- is
jarring the otherwise grand impression of an open Administration.
Heaven knows, we appreciate the time you have given our people
but we really do hesitate to call on you except in extremis and that
leaves us in need.

Can't you let our men try some tentative dealings with your men?

Tobi and I are keeping alert for a relaxing evening to which we might
lure you. Meanwhile, all the best.

Mr. Henry Kissinger

Dear Henry:

Here is a Memcom type of summary of our conversation, limited to points of fact, procedure and estimate. We do not, of course, intend to quote you by name or in any other way and there is no claim that this is a verbatim record.

As we write up our material over the next few days, we expect we will find many holes, a few of which we might seek assistance on. At the moment, we see one big neglect in our questioning: the query that you indicated was sent to Abrams in *early April* for a general estimate of things that might be done, their likely cost, and so on. Was that query sent by the President, by WASAG, by some other group? What prompted it? Did the answers thereto, and the estimates worked out by the military in response, become the basis for operational planning later in the month?

Many thanks. If you wish to discuss this with either Rick Smith or me, please call. If any errors or misconceptions appear or if you wish to amend it in any way, we'll be glad to drop by or receive a memo or anything else you suggest.

Again our thanks for that generous hunk of time.

Dear Henry:

This is to let you know how pleased Binnie and I
were to join you and Liv for lunch last Friday.

Because the two girls are both of foreign extraction,
it was naturally a great thrill for them to see the
Oval Room, as well as the Cabinet Room and the other
sections of the White House.

Your gracious courtesy in taking us to lunch at Sans
Souci was another highlight of our trip to Washington,
and my wife is still talking about it.

I would like to remind you that a print of 40 CARATS is available for you whenever you wish to screen it. I am advising our representative in Washington that your office may call, and I will arrange for you to get the print.

Once again, thank you for your many courtesies, and
we do hope we can reciprocate on one of your trips to
Los Angeles.

With kindest personal regards.
