THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

Diane:

Coleman wants you to check on seats for them on AF 1 coming out of Portland.

Also Mr. Kissinger wants to know about
breakfast on AF 1 coming out of Anchorage
on the 27th.

Mr. Kissinger wants thank you letters to go to Fred Brisson (he had dinner with him at "21" last Saturday night) and to the Mosbachers (he was up their place last Sunday).

Coleman wants you to make sure HAK's pills are given to someone that is going on the President's trip so that Coleman can get them when they rendezvous in Portland. Also, check with Col. Kennedy re Memcons that are also to be sent with someone so HAK will have them when they rendezvous in Portland.

Dear Henry:

Thought you might like to have the
enclosed for your memory book.

The pictures are a happy reminder
of a delightful if somewhat long evening.

All best wishes.

"CHARGE TO GRADUATES"

by

ERIC A. WALKER

President, The Pennsylvania State University
University Park, Pennsylvania

September 11, 1969

Ladies and Gentlemen of the graduating class and
those who got advanced degrees, Let me extend to
each of you my personal congratulations and those of
the entire University on the degree you have earned
today.

This ceremony marks the completion of an
important phase of your life. It is an occasion in
which all who know you can share in your sense of
pride and accomplishment. But no one has more pride
in your accomplishment than the older generation.
But I am not going to tell that older generation how
bright you are. Nor am I going to say we have made a
mess of things and you—the younger ones—are the
hope of mankind. I would like to reverse that process.
For if you of the graduating class will look over into
the bleachers to your left or right, I will re-introduce
you to representatives of some of the most
remarkable people ever to walk the earth. People you
might want to thank on this graduation day. These
are people you already know—your parents and
grandparents. And, if you will bear with me for five
minutes, I think you will agree that a remarkable
people are indeed. Let me tell you about them.

Not long ago an educator from Northwestern
University by the name of Bergen Evans, a radio
performer known to your parents, got together some
facts about these two generations—your parents and
grandparents. I'd like to share some of these facts
with you.

These—your parents and grandparents—are
the people who within just five
decades—1919-1969—have by their work
increased your life expectancy by approximately 50
percent— who while cutting the working day by a
third, have more than doubled per capita output.

These are the people who have given you a
healthier world than they found. And because of this
you no longer have to fear epidemics of flu, typhus,
diphtheria, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles or mumps
that they knew in their youth. And the dreaded polio
is no longer a medical factor, while TB is almost
unheard of.

Let me remind you that these remarkable people
lived through history's greatest depression. Many of
these people know what it is to be poor, what it is to
be hungry and cold. And because of this, they
determined that it would not happen to you, that
you would have a better life, you would have food to
eat, milk to drink, vitamins to nourish you, a warm
home, better schools and greater opportunities to
succeed than they had.

Because they gave you the best, you are the
tallest, healthiest, brightest, and probably best
looking generation to inhabit the land.

And because they were materialistic, you will
work fewer hours, learn more, have more leisure time,
travel to more distant places, and have more of a
chance to follow your life's ambition.

These are also the people who fought man's
grisliest war. They are the people who defeated the
tyranny of Hitler, and who when it was all over, had
the compassion to spend billions of dollars to help
their former enemies rebuild their homelands. And
these are the people who has the sense to begin the
United Nations.

It was representatives of these two generations,
who through the highest court of the land, fought
racial discrimination at every turn to begin a new era
in civil rights.

They built thousands of better teachers, and at
the same time made higher education a very real
possibility for millions of youngsters—where once it
was only the dream of a wealthy few.

And they made a start—although a late
one—in healing the scars of the earth and in fighting
pollution and the destruction of our natural
environment. They set into motion new laws giving
conservation new meaning, and setting aside land for
you and your children to enjoy for generations to
come.

They also hold the dubious record for paying
taxes—although you will probably exceed them in
this.

While they have done all these things, they have
had some failures. They have not yet found an
alternative for war, nor for racial hatred. Perhaps you,
the members of this graduating class, will perfect the
social mechanisms by which all men may follow their
ambitions without the threat of force—so that the
earth will no longer need police to enforce the laws,
nor armies to prevent some men from trespassing
against others. But they—those generations—made
more progress by the sweat of their brows than in any
previous era, and don't you forget it. And, if your
generation can make as much progress in as many
areas as these two generations have, you should be
able to solve a good many of the world's remaining
ills.

It is my hope, and I know the hope of these two
generations, that you find the answers to many of
these problems that plague mankind.

But it won't be easy. And you won't do it by
negative thoughts, nor by tearing down or belittling.
You may and can do it by hard work, humility, hope,
and faith in mankind. Try it.

Goodby and good luck to all of you,

stern

Kurt Georg Kiesinger: Mit Gewalt zu Neuwahlen?

## Bundespräsident Kiesinger?

CDU-Vorsitzender Kurt Georg Kiesinger will Bundespräsident werden. Im kleinen Kreis nannte er die Heinemann-Nachfolge ein »erstrebenswertes Ziel«. Ebenfalls in einer kleinen Runde äußerte der Ex-Kanzler seine Unzufriedenheit mit der Demokratie. Als ihn im holsteinischen Elmshorn eine CDU-Anhängerin aufforderte, »mit aller Gewalt auf Neuwahlen hinzuzuarbeiten«, bedauerte er: »Na, Gewalt können wir nicht anwenden.« Darauf seine Verehrerin: »Das ist ein Manko der Demokratie.« Kiesinger: »Ja, leider, da haben Sie recht.«

## Golda Meir in Sorge

Israels Premierminister Golda Meir hat ihren Botschafter in Washington, Rabin, dringlich gebeten, ihr einen Besuchstermin bei Präsident Nixon zu vermitteln. Grund:

Fliegt 2800 km in der Stunde: MiG-23

Moskau hat Ägypten mit der MiG-23 beliefert, die der amerikanischen F-4 Phantom, die Israels Piloten fliegen, überlegen ist.

## Mauer-Plakette

Die SED wird zum 10. Jahrestag des Mauerbaus (13. August) Gedenkmünzen herausgeben. Sie läßt zur Zeit 1,5 Millionen Medaillen für den »sozialistischen Schutzwall« prägen.

## Gute Idee

Aachen will zu Pfingsten 3200 Parkplätze in der Innenstadt über Computer registrieren und mit Leuchttafeln verbinden, die dem Autofahrer einen garantiert freien Parkplatz anzeigen.

## Noch eine gute Idee

Die DDR will an den Eisenbahnstrecken zwischen dem Bundesgebiet und Westberlin und in den Interzonenzügen ihre Propaganda-Plakate demontieren. Stellvertretender DDR-Verkehrsminister Menzel: »Die Einrichtungen der Reichsbahn sollen unseren ausländischen Freunden Freude bereiten.«

## Müder Kühn

In den Reihen der SPD-Landtagsfraktion in Düsseldorf häufen sich Klagen über die nachlassende Führungsinitiative des nordrhein-westfälischen Ministerpräsidenten Heinz Kühn, der im Kabinett die Zügel schleifen lasse, zu Alleingängen und einsamen Beschlüsse neige. Die unzufriedenen Genossen baten Bundeskanzler Brandt, Kühn in einem Gespräch unter vier Augen zur Aktivität zu ermahnen.

## Neger-Partei

Farbiger US-Präsident: Jesse Jackson

Der farbige amerikanische Konkreßabgeordnete Jesse Jackson will die 25 Millionen US-Neger in einer Partei zusammenfassen und 1972 einen farbigen Präsidentschaftskandidenaten präsentieren.

## Hot pants im Gepäck

Kanadas Premierminister Trudeau will sich trotz vieler Warnungen bei seinem Moskau-Besuch im Mai für die Auswanderung sowjetischer Juden einsetzen. Seine Frau Margaret gestand einem Rundfunkreporter, daß auch sie die Russen schockieren werde: Sie will ihren Mann in »Hot pants« begleiten.

## Selbsttor

Die niederländische Regierung befürchtet für die Parlamentswahl am 28. April eine Katastrophe: Die Wahlpflicht ist abgeschafft, ge-

wählt wird an einem Mittwoch, die Arbeitnehmer bekommen nicht frei, Briefwahl gibt es nicht,

Wer wählt, wenn Real Madrid spielt?

und zu alldem überträgt ab 19 Uhr das Fernsehen die Europa-Cup-Fußballspiele Ajax Amsterdam – Atletico Madrid und PSV Eindhoven – Real Madrid.

## Italienische Art

Italien wurde vom europäischen Gerichtshof jetzt schon zum elftenmal wegen Erhebung verbotener Zölle verurteilt. Atiero Spinelli, italienisches Mitglied der EWG-Kommission in Brüssel, erklärte das Rekord-Vorstrafenregister: »Das liegt leider in der Art unseres Volkes – wir haben weniger Disziplin.«

## Das jüngste Gerücht

Der republikanische Präsident Nixon soll seinen außenpolitischen Berater Henry Kissinger gebeten haben, einen Flirt mit dem 33jährigen Fernsehstar Marlo Thomas zu beenden. Die Schauspielerin, die dem Junggesellen Kissinger »ernste Absichten« zuschreibt, ist eingeschriebene Demokratin und spendete kürzlich demonstrativ 1000 Dollar für einen Anti-Vietnamkrieg-Fonds.

Dear Henry:

You were the most perfect host,
gave the most perfect party and we were
the perfect honorees. Now all we have to
wait for is that other successful farewell
party. As alumni, I hope we'll be included.
When will it be?

Seriously, many, many thanks.
Pat and I were deeply moved and highly
appreciative. Your warm comments were
even further evidence of a friendship we
prize highly.

Come help me sail my boat in the
pool.

We shall look forward to seeing you
when you get back from California.

All best wishes in which Mrs. K

Mr. Kissinger:

Mrs. Mosbacher called regarding a wedding gift she had discussed with you for Tricia. She said that you had told her the gift she described, which she knows Tricia wants -- a Royal Copenhagen cake plate costing $165.00 -- sounded like what you wanted to give. She called so that I could check with you to reconfirm that you would like for her to purchase it for you in New York and bring it to Washington.

I have not purchased anything for Tricia as yet -- was going to do so this afternoon. But now knowing what she might like would have been a handicap.

If you approve I will call Mrs. Mosbacher back and tell her that you would like to give the cake plate and will make out a check for you to reimburse her.

Approve /K Disapprove

Dear Henry,

Mrs. Elisabeth Draper, the decorator who has done Blair House for me and contributed some thoughts for your office, has asked me if it would be possible for the magazine INTERIOR DESIGN to photograph your office at the same time as they are going to be doing the twelve rooms she has completed at the President's Guest House. This publication is for the decorating trade, is owned by the Whitney publications and do a very nice job -- the only thing is your desk will have to be tidied up! If your Julie could advise the office by telephone, it would be appreciated.

Also, please let us know on what week end in September you can grace our humble home in White Plains.

Back to work!

Mrs. Emil Mosbacher, Jr.

Henry A. Kissinger
