HASEGAWA, SAJI

Dear Dr. Kissinger

The Jiji Press has decided to assign one of the foremost Japanese experts in American affairs on a research mission to the United States in late spring this year. Therefore, I would like to request your kind consideration and assistance.

Mr. Goro Fujise, a radio and TV news commentator of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), who is my intimate friend, has accepted this assignment. He is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in early May and spend about six weeks touring various cities.

During his tour he will also meet with several leading figures of various fields and discuss the present and future political, economic and social problems of the U.S. as well as on the future U.S.-Japan relations, particularly on economic relations, and on the role the U.S. and Japan will play in the Pacific/Asian region in the 1970's.

In this respect, I would deeply appreciate it if you could spare your valuable time and kindly receive him on an appropriate date to be decided later.

His first hand information and findings on the latest developments taking place in the U.S. will be used in our news magazine "Sekai Shuho" (World Weekly). The reports will be published in a book form later.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you on
behalf of all the Department of State and White House
interns. We already realize how fast the day goes,
and your taking the time from your busy schedule to
speak to us was greatly appreciated.

Your ability to present the national issues
succinctly, and then to sharpen the options open to
the United States as possible paths of foreign policy
made the discussion eminently worthwhile and the hour-
long session speed by.

If it were at all possible to meet at a later
date (up through September 10), I am sure the interns
would be very eager to continue this valuable dialogue.

Personally, I want to thank you for accepting my
invitation to speak to the interns - it was the
highlight of our stay here in Washington.

AH, good, Joe Hayden, graphologist extraordinaire, has analyzed my handwriting. This all began when Mr. Hayden, who runs the National Center for Research in Handwriting here, offered to do a free analysis for me. Ever quick to take up a free offer, I sent him a sample.

At the same time, I had a bit of fun with Mr. Hayden, explaining in my letter that I've been typing so long I've all but forgotten how to write. I, therefore, varied my styles — straight up and down, slanted backward, slanted forward, big loops, little loops, etc. And I suggested that nobody who knows his handwriting is going to be analyzed writes naturally.

One becomes too conscious of what it looks like. You don't slant backward, that means you're an introvert: big and bold means you're a braggart, etc. Not that I know what these things mean, but I guess and I think I know, if that's clear. Anyway, I now have not one, but several "Speed Letters" from Mr. Hayden.

The first says that my mind is lightning fast. (True.) I possess an expressive personality, I maintain a flexible outlook on life, and I avoid monotonous affairs (All quite correct, altho at the moment I can't recall having had a monotonous affair, but let it go.)

I rate a high score for literary ability because my letter "g" looks like a figure 8. Gad. You suppose Shakespeare's g's looked like eights, too? Because of the way I cross my t's. Mr. Hayden says that I choose words carefully and set realistic goals for myself. (That's a relief; I was always afraid that my idea of being elected dictator was unrealistic.)

He says the way I dot my "I's" indicates a sense of humor and that I'm quite generous. (He doesn't know the Scots, I'll tell you that.) Otherwise, he says, "to be with you is to be with ACTION!. Dear, me.

In the next "Speed Letter" Mr. Hayden said that he has analyzed Vice-President Spiro Agnew's handwriting and that "ho is dynamite!" However, Mr. Agnew's handwriting is not like mine, which is a point to ponder. I guess. Mr. Hayden adds that my handwriting also shows that I write rapidly and am alert. (Little does he know that I wrote that entire letter holding the pencil in one of my nostrils.)

Mr. Hayden's final "Speed Letter" encloses a "Rating Sheet," on which he asks me to rate his efficiency and whether I was pleased with his work. His efficiency ratings give a choice of from 100 to 40 per cent. Since his analysis showed me to be a fascinating, dynamic person I rate his work at 100 per cent. And I am pleased.

Mr. Kissinger also asked me to send to you

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

On May 7th through 9th, Meridian House International, in collaboration with its affiliate The Hospitality and Information Service for Diplomatic Residents and Their Families, will hold its first Diplomatic Seminars, intended to help the Diplomatic Corps, especially recently arrived officers, better understand the workings of the U.S. Government in the foreign policy area. Enclosed is the draft program and the list of participants.

On Thursday, May 10th, from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m., the group will be at the White House for a discussion of the role of the National Security Council in the making of foreign policy. Mrs. Jeanne W. Davis, Staff Secretary to the National Security Council, has kindly presented to lead the discussion. The group will be meeting in the Executive Briefing Room. It would lend much to the occasion, and would be greatly appreciated by the participants, if you could find the time to stop in for a moment during the session and extend greetings to the group.

The response to our invitation leads us to believe that the seminars may respond to a felt need among our foreign colleagues in Washington. Thus a gesture of interest on your part would have a major impact.

I look forward to your favorable reply.

Dear Sam:

Many thanks for your letter of September
24 notifying me, as I have requested, of
your plans to be in Washington. I appreci-
ate your advance warning, and wish that I
were going to be able to see you.

As you can imagine, my usually heavy
schedule is unusually so at the moment,
and will be, I imagine, for the next sever-
al weeks. I have been forced, therefore, not
to make appointments with people I would
really like to see.

Please continue to stay in touch and give
me another chance the next time you are
planning to be in Washington.

Dear Henry:

Just a note to say that, as I mentioned to Miss Betts yesterday, I'll be in Washington on Friday, October 15, for a meeting of the Board of the Overseas Development Council. That will run through 3:00 p.m., after which I'd be delighted to drop in on you for a half-hour, if it fits your schedule. Of course, I realize that last minute changes often have to be made in your schedule. My meeting will be in Suite 501, 1717 Massachusetts Avenue (Tel. 234-8701), in the event that you set a date now and then have to change it on that day.

My principal topic for discussion is the enclosed proposal for a series of high-level "Foreign Policy Dialogues", to be held from time to time in Washington. And I'll be interested in your informal views on Asia and also on Germany. I'll be spending a week in Berlin and Bonn in mid-November, as a guest of the German government.

Hoping to see you on the 15th, I am

Dear Henry:

Thanks for your letter of August 10. I hope you got in some
fishing in California, not just walking towards the beach (we
saw you in a television news report accompanying the President
and Ken Rush - who was on our Board until the President tapped
him for Germany).

My next trip to Washington will be in the latter part of
September, and again I can schedule it on any of several days,
if you'll have a little time on one. How do September 20, 21,
22, or 27, 28, 29 look to you? Any of those would be fine for
me. I know your schedule is heavy and to an extent unpredictable,
but if you see a possibility on one of those days, let
me know and I'll plan the rest of my trip around it.

FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION

PROPOSAL FOR A SERIES OF FOREIGN POLICY DIALOGUES

**PURPOSE:** To keep top foreign policy officials closely in touch with the thinking of non-governmental experts in their fields of responsibility, and to keep non-governmental experts apprised of significant policy decisions and the reasoning behind them; and at the same time to bring key influentials and interested non-experts in on both bodies of thinking.

**METHOD:** FPA would arrange a series of one-day seminar meetings for groups composed like the following (example is Far East, but similar groups would be arranged for other areas and for functional problems):

1. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, and 2 or 3 associates; plus one or two comparable officials each from White House staff, AID, and Department of Defense and perhaps Commerce and Treasury (up to 10 in all).

2. Leading experts critical of Administration policy in Asia (up to 5).

3. Leading experts generally sympathetic to Administration policy in Asia (up to 5).

4. Influential private individuals interested in and knowledgeable about Asia, (up to 10).

Total: From 20 to 30 participants

Before each meeting, participants would be provided with a summary statement of current U.S. policy in the area, a list of pertinent and significant recent articles and books, several short critiques of current policy (by experts scheduled to participate), and a listing of current issues for discussion (the agenda for the meeting).

At the meeting itself, which would be off-the-record, no prepared statements would be read but questions would first be asked to clarify government policy, and then attention would be given to the principal alternatives and criticisms proposed by the experts and other non-governmental participants. No attempt would be made to reach any consensus, however.

-2-

## RESULTS SOUGHT

1. Full knowledge by government officials of current policy thinking outside government.

2. Full knowledge by non-government experts of current official policy and the rationale therefore (including relation to other areas and policies).

3. Some accommodation of views on both sides -- or at least clarification of reasons for differences.

4. Deeper knowledge and understanding by other participants of official policies, policy alternatives, and factors bearing on them.

## RATIONALE:

Despite formal speeches, publications, conferences and occasional personal contact, there is far too little communication-in-depth between policy officials, on the one hand, and private individuals (expert and non-expert) on the other. Work pressures on all important people, plus official concern about making public statements, combine to reduce the contacts officials have with the private sector. What is needed is for an organization to step in and take the leadership in organizing (and do the detailed staff work for) off-the-record seminar-type meetings, where all participants can "let down their hair" and explore fully what official policies are and why, what considerations argue for changing them, what are the barriers to desirable change, etc.

Government thinking and action would undoubtedly benefit from the input of informed, concerned private judgements and from greater familiarity with scholarly research and analysis. Scholars would in turn, benefit from fuller exposure to official thinking than takes place in public. And "influentials" outside government and scholarly fields would benefit from knowing both fields better and could in consequence play a more effective role in the development of a sophisticated general public opinion.

## WHY FPA?

FPA has a long history of independent analysis and presentation of foreign policy; takes no position on policy issues; has well-established reputation for objectivity, balance; has no commitment to particular experts (having no faculty or research staff). Thus FPA can provide neutral, independent, yet highly-regarded sponsorship; and can assemble a wide range of experts and others with the over-riding objective of producing the most effective operation possible.
