Dear Mr. Kissinger:

The AMVETS National Honors and Awards Committee, at its meeting held during our 27th National Annual Convention just concluded in Los Angeles, unanimously voted its 1971 Silver Helmet Peace Award to you. We enclose a copy of last year's program for your information.

Previous recipients of this award have been General Lucius Clay, Presidents Richard M. Nixon, Dwight Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy.

The Silver Helmet, a replica of the World War II G. I. Helmet, will be presented at a special awards dinner to be held in Washington on Saturday, March 25, 1972. We hope it will be possible for you to be present to receive this award.

We are very anxious to finalize the plans for this meeting and would appreciate hearing from you as quickly as possible. If we may be of assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to call upon us.

The Honorable Henry Kissinger

REH:mal

THE 27TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CONVENTION OF AMVETS
ASSEMBLED IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA ON AUGUST 14, 1971
DID UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVE THAT ITS
PEACE AWARD
BE PRESENTED TO
DR. HENRY KISSINGER

Whose diverse talents, energy and intellect have helped spur the nation in
its pursuit of peace.

Sometimes referred to as the "Vince Lombardi of the National Security
Commission policy", he makes his aides perform things once thought to be
impossible, thus bringing a new neatness and depth to the formulation of
U. S. Foreign policy.

Books on history and politics have always been a kind of background
tapestry to the life of this brilliant, German born Harvard educator.

The secrecy and detailed planning executed by Dr. Kissinger in estab-
lishing the contacts and arranging the details of the China visit by Presi-
dent Nixon and the Paris Peace Mission talks are monuments to his efficiency.

In his dedicated efforts to arrest national decay and revitalize the
spirit of the American people, Kissinger has served the President by con-
ceiving, executing and explaining foreign policy for Mr. Nixon in what
may be the clearest, most concise and most accurate action reports on world
affairs that any President has ever received, thus putting into practice Mr.
Kissinger's own cardinal rule for diplomatic planning---have an objective
in mind before taking action and always be aware of possible consequences.

Dear Rabbi Pattashnick:

Just a short note to thank you for your invitation to me to the 55th Anniversary dinner. I was honored to be nominated for your National Leadership Award.

Unfortunately, as my secretary has indicated to yours, my ordinarily heavy schedule is extraordinarily so at present and shows no signs of improving in the near future. I regret therefore that I am unable to make any additional commitments and will not be able to join you.

I appreciate your thinking of me.
