Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am the son of international soccer star Joe Gaetjens who scored the goal that shook the world in the World Cup 1950 while playing for the United States National Soccer Team in Brazil. My father returned to his land of Haiti and in 1963 was arrested by the "tonton macoutes" and was never seen again. I was only five years old.

In 1971, with the death of Francois Duvalier an international effort was launched to find his whereabouts. The Joe Gaetjens Foundation was created with the help of Clive Toye, Gordon Bradley and Walter Bahr and a benefit was held at the Yankee Stadium in honor of my father. Patricia Roberts Harris took the case to the Organization of American States who adopted a resolution on its thirtieth session condoning the events of my father's arrest and calling it to the attention of the Government of Haiti. The new Government of Jean Claude Duvalier never provided a death certificate but responded, via U.S. Ambassador Knox, that Joe Gaetjens was dead. The United States Department of State could not be compromised any further because of the political activities of Joe's brothers and the Foundation was later dissolved.

Now, with the departure of Jean Claude and the Duvaliers from Haiti, I returned twenty-three years later to investigate the whereabouts of my father. I interviewed his best friends and family members in an effort to shine some light on his mysterious disappearance. I even talked with the man connected with his murder. Needless to say I did not find trace of my father but instead I saw an impoverished country in desperate need of help and perhaps a chance for a new beginning.

For that purpose, my mother, my brothers and I have created The Joe Gaetjens International Foundation Inc. with the following goals.

1. To promote a positive image of Haiti
   Internationally through all media;

2. To promote excellency in sports Internationally;

3. To assist in improving health and education in Haiti;

4. To promote all types of Haitian artists and entertainers internationally.

Already Pele, Warner Brothers and Joseph Papp have expressed interest and The National Soccer Hall of Fame is working with the Foundation to develop a tribute to my father and the U.S. National Soccer Team. It is in the areas of sports promotion, specifically soccer, that we need your support.

Dr. Henry Kissinger

The Joe Gaetjens International Foundation Inc. proposes a soccer tournament with FIFA member countries in the Caribbean including The United States, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Granada, Surinam, Trinidad & Tobago and Netherland Antilles as a tribute to the memory of the Haitian/American hero Joe Gaetjens and in the spirit of unity for a troubled Caribbean.

It is certain that a tournament of such nature will improve diplomatic relations between the nations of the Caribbean and the United States but to execute it successfully someone of your calibre must be involved. I am convinced, that with the aid of your highly respected name and experience, this event will prove to be extremely successful and effectual.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am sending you more information about the Foundation and about the proposed Soccer Tournament as requested. It is scheduled to take place June 29, 1988 (The anniversary of 1950 World Cup game between the U.S. & England) and July 8, 1988 (The anniversary of the arrest of Joe Gaetjens). Enclosed is a draft presented by Clive Toye who is a member of the Board of Directors of The Foundation. Also enclosed is a brief summary of other projects the Foundation is involved in and for which Pele has expressed repeated interest.

As you must know elections are scheduled to take place sometime soon in Haiti. Let us hope that the results bring democracy and stability which are much needed in the island. It is with that hope that _The Joe Gaetjens International Foundation_ wants to present _The Joe Gaetjens Caribbean Cup_ to the government of Haiti. Such Tournament should stand as a symbol of American support for a country starting anew. However, in order to obtain the impact desired it deserves to be presented by someone like you whose charismatic presence will add a new dimension to Soccer as well as provide reassurance of stability for Haiti and unity for the divided nations of the Caribbean. The proceeds of such event will go to benefit health and education in Haiti.

The Foundation also would like to invite you to lecture on the political situation in the Caribbean and on the status of Soccer in the United States in fundraisings to take place sometime before the afore-mentioned Tournament. Your advice, knowledge and unique approach to diplomatic issues will be of tremendous help towards the rehabilitation of a nation. Please let me know what your fees would be.

Together we can help Soccer achieve new heights in this country as we help a nation get back on its feet!

Encls.

Committee on Admissions
The University Club
One West 54th Street
New York, New York

Dear Sirs:

This letter is in support of the proposed candidacy of Mr. Joseph E. Geoghan for membership in The University Club.

I have known Mr. Geoghan both personally and professionally for the better part of three years. Joe, who is a superb lawyer who has represented Union Carbide with great skill and imagination, is a loyal friend, an interesting conversationalist, and a man of persistent good humor. In a word, he would be a worthy addition to The University Club; I urge that the Committee on Admissions admit him to membership.

To: Betty

HAK would like two copies of the book

After the Quantum which was reviewed on Sunday in
the NYTimes. He thinks the author is Michel Kalber or
something like that.

One of the copies is for him and the other should
be sent by messenger to Anne Getty with the
following note. HAK should sign the note tomorrow
morning -- assuming he does not return this afternoon.
If he does he could sign the note then. He does
not expect us to get the books today -- but hopefully
tomorrow after the weather lets up.

Dear Anne:

This is what you and I have been talking about. I am
not sure I understand it. If you do will you give me a
call. Hope to see you soon.

warm regards

I don't think we have an address for Anne Getty
but I am not sure. If not - perhaps Oscar's office
will have it.
