Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I want to take this opportunity of extending to you
my sincere congratulations upon having undertaken with great
skill, your two missions to China, which are to lay the ground-
work for a later visit by President Nixon to that country.

Your hard work, dedication and complete loyalty to the
President have been well recognized by many individuals, both
in and out of government.

I have been an ardent admirer, staunch supporter and
active worker in behalf of President Nixon ever since 1960.
It was in May of that year that I had the great privilege of
meeting the President and Mrs. Nixon here in Buffalo at a
luncheon-reception given in their honor at the Lafayette Hotel.

I am taking the liberty of enclosing copies of some
letters, which I received from the President, and needless to
say I felt greatly honored to have been the recipient of same.

I also was born in Germany, in Mellrichstadt (Unterfranken) not far from Schweinfurt. I came to the United States, direct to Buffalo in November 1923, just a short time before the bottom fell out of the economy.

I brought my dear parents here in 1934, they lived to
be 95 years old and it was just wonderful to have had them
with me for all those years.

There appeared recently in "PARADE MAGAZINE" a very
interesting article with photos of your entire family. I know
that you are very devoted to all, especially your dear parents
and I can well imagine how proud they must be of you, their
famous and brilliant son. I wish for them a long, happy and
healthy life.

I have a cousin, Dr. Hans Freudenthal, who is a professor of mathematics in the University of Utrecht (Holland), he visited with us in 1957, we had not seen him in 40 years, he was in this country on a lecture tour. While here in Buffalo he was presented with the key to the city by his Hon. the Mayor at City Hall and I am enclosing an article which appeared in one of the local papers at that time and thought you might be interested in reading same.

The other article appeared in one of our local papers
about a month ago, but dates back to the year 1934, when we
formed the Buffalo Muny Tennis Assn. of which I served as Vice
Pres.

WASHINGTON

June 13, 1960

Dear Mr. Freudenthal:

This is just a note to thank you for writing as you did con-
cerning my visit to Buffalo and to tell you how much I appreciate the
generous comments which you included in my behalf.

It seemed to me that this appearance provided an opportunity
to analyze the events which led to the breakup of the Summit Conference
by Khrushchev and to point up not only the wisdom but the necessity for
the President's firm stand on the measures required to safeguard this
country and the free world from surprise attack. Certainly this resolute
position commands our support and that of world opinion and it is en-
couraging to have your words of approval.

With respect to your question on Civil Defense, I believe
that it may well have a more active and important role to play as a
component of our national security. May I also add my congratulations
on the long service you have given to this vital program.

With every good wish,

Mr. Alfred Freudenthal

RICHARD NIXON

April 28, 1961

Dear Mr. Freudenthal:

It was most thoughtful of you to write as you did following the election, and this is the first opportunity I have had to tell you how very much I appreciated the very constructive comments and suggestions which you made with regard to the part I might play in continuing to further the cause for which we worked during the campaign.

As you can imagine, the task of closing my office after fourteen years in Washington, making a cross-country move and re-entering the practice of law was a rather formidable one, with the result that I have not had the time that I would like to devote to studying the suggestions you and others have made since the election.

However, I am making every effort to arrange my personal affairs so that I can devote a substantial amount of my time to appraising and putting into effect, to the extent that I am able, some of the excellent suggestions that have come to me. I hope very much that you will continue to send me any further comments or recommendations you may have both with regard to my own activities and the issues which confront the nation.

With appreciation for the very generous comments you included in your letter and with every good wish,

Mr. Alfred Freudenthal

KISSINGER, HENRY A.

The White House

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

As has been its practice for the last fifteen years, the International Student Center of New Haven (Conn.) is again planning its annual trip to Washington. Most of the trip's members are foreign students studying at Yale, although the trip is open to any student in the New Haven area. In keeping with the academic interests of the participants, the trip is intended more as a travelling seminar focusing on the daily workings of the American political system than as a sight-seeing tour. Needless to say, most of the participants are primarily interested in the formation and implementation of our foreign policy, and hope to learn more about the mechanics of its operation; as a third-year law student at Yale - and as a former Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal - I share in that interest.

A number of members of the 1972 trip have requested that I inquire about the possibility of meeting with you during our trip to Washington, presently scheduled for March 19 to 24. I realize that your schedule is unusually crowded and that - in the higher Scheme of Things - our group is of less than cosmic significance. Nevertheless, the opportunity to meet with you would be of inestimable value both to the individual students and to the overall success of the trip, and we would therefore deeply appreciate such a meeting. If it is presently impossible we would be pleased to make tentative arrangements with your office, subject to subsequent confirmation.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
