Forgive me for intruding on your much-deserved privacy during
this holiday season. My only claims to fame worthy of your
consideration are: I have been a newspaperman for over 30
years; I am a fellow Ivy Leaguer (BA-U.ofP.).

Will you look at (five minutes of your time) a manuscript
I have written about you? Description is enclosed.

I have two reasons for asking: I want to publish it and
if you like it, I might be able to find a publisher--I
haven't tried yet; and, after all my labor, I honestly and
sincerely would want to know your opinion of it.

I am writing to ask your permission to mail the manuscript
to you because it will cost over $20 for a copy and I don't
want it to fall into anyone else's hands.

I believe you will enjoy looking at it; you will recall many
fond memories. Your father, I am certain, would like it and
perhaps even treasure it.

Please, will you allow me to send it to you? With greatest
personal regards,

Dear Henry Kissinger:

In April, I left my position at the State Department to return to private industry. My seven and a half years as Assistant Chief of Protocol have been the most fascinating of my life. During that time, further developments in communication and transportation have continued to make our world seem smaller; hopefully, they have contributed to bringing the community of nations closer together. However, machines and devices are only the tools with which we are able to work; the real accomplishments in promoting international understanding have been those of men such as you.

It has been a source of great personal satisfaction to be able to participate in our affairs of state, and the opportunity of meeting and working with you has made the experience even more memorable. I wish you great success in completing the important tasks with which you are now dealing, and I hope to be able to meet with you again from time to time in the future.

Rosemarie joins me in wishing you and Nancy all the best.

Dear Henry:

Many Americans were directly involved in Vietnam, but some, like you and I, had particular roles, either from length of service there or special responsibilities. Because of that, I venture to write you to suggest that we join in an extra effort on behalf of the Vietnamese we knew and tried to help there.

Many have already been active in this work, either by sponsoring Vietnamese resettling in this country, speaking up for them in local circles, or reaching out to include them in programs designed for all citizens. But as the initial stages of resettlement pass, the opportunities for such direct activities diminish and attention turns to larger political decisions which could have great effect on our former friends and associates. I write to suggest that we who had particular ties to Vietnam join to assure that our voice of friendship is heard as these decisions are faced.

Much has been done. Approximately 140,000 Vietnamese from the 1975 evacuation have been received and in great part resettled, thanks to government payments and many private acts of sympathy. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare still maintains an office at which these Vietnamese can seek assistance in case of need, especially to relocate in the United States to more promising sites than they found on their first arrival. Vietnamese in the United States now receive full immigrant status with the prospect of citizenship rather than the parolee status which allowed them in but left their status indefinite. The United States has also opened its doors for 15,000 additional refugees including 7000 "boat people" who braved the rigors of a hostile sea to escape the new Vietnam. American assistance has been provided through international channels to the many thousands of Vietnamese who have been stuck in the camps in Thailand into which they landed until they could be moved onwards. Lastly, American assistance has also been given to the

-2-

[LC]

refugees from Cambodia and Laos, especially in trying to better the conditions in the camps they inhabit in Thailand while they await a better solution and help them resettle in that area, or in such other countries as can be induced to accept them.

But plainly more needs to be done -- in strictly humanitarian terms:

a. The families who are separated must be rejoined, and in practical terms this means that those who did not escape in 1975 must be permitted to leave and be helped in the process of resettlement in the United States when they do.

b. The continuing flow of boat escapees should be helped to come to the United States and resettle; this number already exceeds the 15,000 authorized, but the individuals have the same claim on our sympathy as the earlier escapees.

c. A comprehensive resettlement package that aims at increasing self-sufficiency should be funded, including mental health projects for those needing them. Opportunities for the increased involvement of Indochinese organizations, agencies and individuals in their own resettlement should continue to be encouraged.

d. Assistance in resettlement of Lao and Cambodians in Thailand or in other countries should continue through the United Nations, with a generous contribution from the United States.

Beyond these direct humanitarian steps, the broader question of United States relations with the new Vietnam must be faced. The Congress has voted to withhold any funds for that country but the Administration has taken several steps toward a new policy. An outline of a future approach which we who served there might take could be:

1. No hostility, but no fawning by the United States, with steps toward recognition and eventual normalization matching Vietnamese actions toward better relationships with the United States and compassionate treatment of our former Vietnamese allies.

2. Contribution to humanitarian relief projects through international and charitable organizations, with firm provisions that the assistance go to those Vietnamese physically injured and maimed during the war.

-3-

[L/C]

3. Urging the release from Vietnam of family members of those already outside Vietnam, and gradual extension to others closely associated with the United States during the war (unless internationally witnessed judicial proceedings decide their continued detention).

4. Clear recognition that human rights concerns remain an important test for future American friendship with the new Vietnam, especially for those in "reeducation" and similar centers for supporters of the former Government and its non-Communist opponents.

5. Measured by progress on the above, initiation of programs of assistance to help rebuild the physical damages of the war in Vietnam, beginning through international agencies and programs.

While not all of us would necessarily agree on every last item on this list, I submit it as an outline of an approach which would be helpful to our Vietnamese friends but dignified for the United States. The immediate question arises, however, as to what you -- and I -- can do to contribute to this fairly obvious program. And that is the purpose of this letter, as I believe that together we can help through our personal actions, in the following ways:

a. Keeping ourselves informed of the situation of our exiled Vietnamese friends, those still in Vietnam, and the policies and programs of the various governments affecting them.

b. Offering hands of help to individual Vietnamese known to us or in our communities, and encouraging our neighbors to do the same, extending the early sponsorship of arrivals to that extra push to help them through difficulties which may arise later.

c. Exchanging information and ideas for further action among those of us committed to help, and those we can enlist in support of the cause.

d. Speaking and writing publicly to urge continued consideration of our Vietnamese friends as the object of our concern.

e. Employing whatever influence we might be able to have on elected and appointed government officials to move along the program outlined above, and to appropriate the necessary funds to translate policies into specific programs.

But how do we do this? I suggest a phased approach: --

a. As a first step I believe we need a center through

-4-

[LC]

which to communicate and indeed rally. We do
not need an "organization" nor do we need to
assemble funds with which to accomplish this.
Major General Charles Timmes, whom you will
doubtless remember from his service from July
1961 to July 1964 as Deputy and then Chief of
MAAG and from July 1967 to April 29, 1975 widely
circulating through South Vietnam reporting for
the Embassy the views of his host of Vietnamese
friends, has agreed to help in this function
without pay or expenses for either of us.

b. Those of us associating in this endeavor could
contribute our thoughts as to what should be done
in practical terms, and Charlie and I will under-
take to compile and organize these thoughts for
circulation, together with what factual material
we can obtain relevant to the subject from this
Washington vantage point and from material con-
tributed from elsewhere. We would endeavor to
focus on timely topics and problems so as to
permit all of us to be informed and to act in our
own circles and communities.

c. As information grows, there might be situations
appropriate for soliciting financial contributions.
Here again we will ensure that any such contribu-
tions go to the purpose described, with only such
administrative costs as are clearly described at
the outset. This is no "fund raising" scheme.

d. Lastly, and this is a somewhat delicate subject,
I would propose that participation in this effort
be limited to Americans closely associated with our
Vietnam experience. Our Vietnamese friends have
already established a variety of organizations,
with naturally differing views. We would propose
only the most friendly relations with them, would
identify their separate positions and interests
and inform interested Americans of them but would
not endorse or criticize them. In this way I
would hope that our effort could be supportive
of all of our Vietnamese friends of former days
and show no preferences among them.

Having read this message, if you agree with it, are merely
interested by it or have some additional or differing thoughts
to offer, may I ask you to do the following: --

a. Reply with your comments and your suggestions for what you or others could do to assist.

b. Reproduce the letter and circulate it to friends or contacts who were connected with Vietnam who might be interested in joining the effort, with

Dr. Henry Kissinger

Washington, D.C. 20000

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am much in hopes that you will grant me the opportunity to talk with you briefly during my trip to Washington in November (9,10,11,12). I am researching a book on H.R. Haldeman.

The book is intended neither as a defense of Haldeman nor as an exposé. My aim is to produce an objective portrayal, or certainly the most accurate human characterization possible of this man who was uniquely influential in the history of the modern presidency and who remains in the public mentality a mass of living contradictions.

I recently spent two days at Lompoc Federal Prison in California interviewing both Mr. and Mrs. Haldeman. During that time Mr. Haldeman specifically stated that he would like for me to talk with you about my project. (His statement surprised me.) Prior to that I had assumed you might not even consider talking with me for fear of quotation and because you might feel that I was treading upon the credibility of Dr. Henry Kissinger to sell my book. Since talking with Mr. Haldeman, however, I have decided to seek your permission for an interview. As far as your being quoted is concerned, I can say that I will abide strictly by any requirements or limitations you would wish to impose. I am an honorable woman, and I will do what I say. I am not interested in sensation or quotable quotes; I am interested in scholarship and the accuracy of the historical record. Obviously, from my single encounter at Lompoc, I cannot truly know and understand the former chief of staff. Thus it is imperative that I be able to gather the reflections, comments, anecdotes, interpretations of individuals who knew and worked with Mr. Haldeman in various capacities. Unquestionably, your perspective would be of inestimable value to my study.

I come to my study naturally as a result of background and training: I was graduated from the Principia College in the class ahead of Bud Krogh. (I met you during the Public Affairs Conference in the spring of 1958, or '59? when you were on campus)

with Dr. Elliott, which you probably do not remember.) It is
an important part of my thesis that Mr. Haldeman's religious
background had specific political implications for Watergate.
Few individuals have the necessary combination of academic
training, secular background, and access to the Watergate
principals to attempt such a study. I believe I am one of
the few. Thus, as an historian (not a journalist - currently
teaching historical research method in the Indiana University
School of Journalism), as a Christian Scientist, and as a
student of political behavior, I am impelled to delve deeper
into the mind and motivation of H.R. Haldeman.

I would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to talk
with you about your recollections of Mr. Haldeman and do hope
you will give my request every consideration.

AN OPEN LETTER TO DR. KISSINGER ON THE MATTER OF HIS PROPOSED APPOINTMENT
TO THE COLUMBIA FACULTY

Dr. Kissinger,

We feel it incumbent upon us to explain the attached resolution that was passed by the graduate students in the Political Science Department of Columbia University opposing your appointment to a Chair in International Relations. That such a resolution was adopted by those who would be most affected by your appointment is indeed an extraordinary event; but it has been provoked by extraordinary and exceptional circumstances. The entire matter of your appointment has been permeated with irregularities and raises issues that are very important to the university and society at large. The role of the university is to serve society by its critical independent judgment. We would be the first to admit that the university has fallen short in the fulfillment of this role, but that does not mean we forsake it; rather, it means we struggle to realize it. In examining the first two paragraphs of our resolution you will find the two central objections to your proposed appointment.

You have not yet set foot on campus and yet you have already had a negative impact upon the University. Negotiations were carried on in secret; the President of the University, not the Department Chairman, negotiated with you; at no point were established procedures for ascertaining the needs of the department, for the proposal and review of candidates and for final advice on candidates observed. Instead we find an operation all too well suited to the Nixon administration: machinations behind the scenes in an effort to avoid public debate on the issues, constant denials that anything is going on, only to be presented by a *fait accompli*. Your appointment, unlike any other, moved

Open Letter to Kissinger--2

into the public light and out of the shadows of rumor only after an offer
to you had been made. We were merely notified that the appointment was in
your hands. We demand in the strongest possible terms that you decline. An
appointment offered and accepted in violation of established procedures only
betrays contempt for the democratic concessions that exist at Columbia.

More important to us than the abrogation of departmental procedures are
the reasons behind their circumvention: the attempt to avoid discussion of
your conduct as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State. We believe
that individuals are responsible for their actions--in and out of government.
That is the only method for keeping government accountable. We believe that
your actions make you unfit to hold a teaching post. We have no use for the
"knowledge" you have to impart: how to prolong a brutal war that cost hundreds
of thousands of lives, how to undermine and topple democratically elected gov-
ernments, how to lie and manipulate the media, how to prop up corrupt, racist
and oppressive regimes, how to tap the phones of colleagues and newsmen. The
wisdom we seek is how to combat these.

The aforementioned actions--crimes is not to strong a word--were perpe-
trated in the name of and justified in the interests of the American people.
To honor you with a Chair at Columbia would be tantamount to condoning further
your actions and that we will not do.

You could not have come to Columbia in 1969 or 1970. President McGill
obviously thinks the climate has changed--to one of tolerance for murderous
behavior or perhaps to one of forgetfulness. 1977 is not 1969, but we have
not forgotten Vietnam, Chile, the lies and repression. We refuse to acquiesce
in your attempt to use Columbia as you used the American people--as a shroud
to legitimize your conduct.

We are called upon to judge you in two senses, then: as students improp-

RESOLUTION

THE PUBLIC LAW AND GOVERNMENT SOCIETY,

RESOLVED THAT

WHEREAS Dr. Henry Kissinger's proposed appointment to the faculty has been characterized by irregularities in the application of the procedures which have been agreed within the Department of Political Science regarding student participation in recruitment searches;

WHEREAS Dr. Kissinger's career as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and Secretary of State between the years 1969 and 1977 was characterized by numerous illegal and unethical acts incompatible with the purposes of the University and with the conduct expected of officers of instruction, including active complicity in the subversion of the civil liberties of his fellow citizens and collaboration in the murder of innocent civilians in Indochina, Chile, and other parts of the world;

AND WHEREAS the proposed appointment reflects the Department's appalling lack of general policy in not establishing and maintaining effective criteria for appointment to tenured positions and thereby compromises the integrity of the Department;

Dear Henry:

Some of the students at Columbia asked me to convey the enclosed to you. I believe their report to be true that only a very small minority have been involved in the publicized opposition to your coming, and that the overwhelming attitude of the students and faculty would be warmly welcoming.

Hope all is well with you. My telephone at the Department is 632-8704. I am here generally Thursdays through Saturdays. After the end of the term, I will be down five days a week.

Best to Nancy and yourself.

Dr Henry Kissinger.
Washington, D.C.

Dear Dr Kissinger,

I would like to present to you a list of
petitioners strongly supporting your appointment to a tenured
professorship at Columbia University. The petition contains
the names of students from the graduate schools in which you
would be teaching, namely the graduate department of political
science and the School of International Affairs. There are
several points of significance in this petition:

(i) It contains the names of 145 students in the School of International Affairs, a clear majority of the current enrolment.

(ii) It contains the names of 52 graduate students in the department of political science, approximately 40% of those still taking courses in the department.

(iii) It contains between two and three times as many signatures as have been received by the opponents of your appointment in these schools.

Given the fact that a large number of students refused
to sign either the petition for your appointment, or the
petition against your appointment, I have concluded that only
a small minority of the students in the two departments
actually oppose you coming here.

Furthermore, I know of at least two graduate political
science students among the opposition who have said that,
should you come, you will be treated with politeness. On the
basis of my own experience of the discussions on campus, I
believe that this is correct, generally speaking. I could not
conceive of more than half a dozen students in the graduate
department who would dare to be openly rude. Most of the
more extremist students are undergraduates, and have nothing
to do with political science or SIA. In addition, those
students who have been at Columbia since the 1960's believe
that the atmosphere is now far more sedate, and unreceptive

[L.C]

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED GRADUATE STUDENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, WISH TO EXPRESS OUR SUPPORT FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF DR. HENRY KISSINGER TO A NEW FACULTY POSITION AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

DR. KISSINGER'S PREVIOUS RECORD AS A PROFESSOR OF GOVERNMENT AT HARVARD, AND AS THE AUTHOR OF SEVERAL MAJOR BOOKS ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, MAKE HIM EMINENTLY QUALIFIED TO TEACH HERE. FURTHERMORE THE KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE HE HAS ACQUIRED AS SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD MAKE HIM A UNIQUE AND ESPECIALLY WORTHWHILE ASSET TO ANY ACADEMIC COMMUNITY.

DR. KISSINGER'S APPOINTMENT IN NO WAY CONSTITUTES APPROVAL OF EVERY POLITICAL ACTION HE HAS TAKEN. MANY OF US HAVE DISAGREED WITH MANY OF THE POLICIES HE PURSUED WHILE IN OFFICE. BUT TO REJECT DR. KISSINGER'S ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS ON THE GROUNDS OF A PURELY POLITICAL JUDGEMENT WOULD BE TO ENGAGE IN A CRUDE FORM OF MCCARTHYISM. AS SUCH IT WOULD GRAVELY VIOLATE THE PRINCIPLES OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

FURTHERMORE, REJECTION OF DR. KISSINGER ON A POLITICAL BASIS WOULD CREATE A PRECEDENT ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR COLUMBIA, SINCE SEVERAL OF OUR LOST DISTINGUISHED FACULTY ARE CURRENTLY SERVING IN TOP POSITIONS IN THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION.

WE URGE BOTH PRESIDENT MCGILL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE DR. KISSINGER'S APPOINTMENT

GRAND-DUCHÉ DE LUXEMBOURG

LE PRÉSIDENT DU GOUVERNEMENT

Luxembourg, March 29th 1977

Professor
Henry Kissinger
c/o Georgetown University
Washington D.C. 20001

The urge to write "dear Professor" was almost irresistible before I realized how marginal the titles we may bear momentarily in our lives of continued hectic activity really are compared to the friendship and trust which we have built up over the years.

May I first of all draw on that friendship in order to apologize for being so terribly late in replying to the kind message which you sent me on leaving the office of Secretary of State of the United States. I not only fully share the sentiments you expressed, but also remain convinced that we will have many occasions in maybe unexpected capacities, to continue to work together for the kind of ideals and policies which we share.

As a token of that friendship, I am holding for you a letter by someone not entirely unknown to you and which may serve to show the little worries of Great

- 2 -

Men or alternatively that really Great Men do not hesitate to find time for matters that to outsiders may appear trivial, but which are of some importance to the recipients - thus with you (United States) and Luxembourg. Would you please let me know whether I should ask our Ambassador in Washington to deliver it, or whether you prefer to pick it up yourself next time you come to Europe.

I hear that you will shortly be coming over to visit old places and friends. Would it be adding too much to your no doubt considerable worries of time and schedule to suggest that you stop over, with Nancy of course, for a few relaxed moments with Liliane and me in Luxembourg - or maybe in Spain. You would be very welcome indeed.

With this letter I enclose one from a very dear friend of mine, Professor Otto Molden, who as President of the "Europäisches Forum Alpbach" is writing to invite you to attend, together with General Moshe Dayan, myself and possibly Prime Minister Karamanlis, this year's political symposium at Alpbach. The theme will be "Strategies of international conflict-control" and the date, Saturday September 1st. Dr. Bruno Kreisky, the Austrian Chancellor will be chairing the discussions there. I do hope that you will be able to find time to come.

KENT G. COLWELL
OLD GLEN ROAD
MORRISTOWN, N. J. 07960

August 23, 1977

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
c/o Council on Foreign Relations
38 East 68th Street
New York, New York 10021

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I am writing you as a fellow member of the Council on Foreign Relations to ask your advice. The President of the Princeton Class of 1917 wants to raise $25/50,000 as a Class Memorial, and use the money in the cause of peace.

My classmate has in mind helping to defuse budding international conflicts before attitudes become rigid. He is thinking of one or more treatises, or addresses by authorities on the subject; or by pointing out to foundations or other substantial funding sources the strength of public opinion in various directions in the area, to enable them to consider ways and means of influencing it.

The principle or income or both of the memorial fund would be available. In view of enormous efforts to preserve peace, I would be grateful to hear whether you see any spot where such an amount could be applied to good purpose.
