Herewith all the maps. These stats can be marked and the original artwork
from which they were made can, of course, be corrected. Cartographer points
out that the photostat process doesn't always pick up things like the
latitutde-longitude lines or the fine cross-hatching. Print will.

There are minor corrections that I've marked in the margins in red. Also,
each map has clipped to its location and a suggested caption. I'm
also including a list of maps (which is merely the captions) to be run
in the front matter with page numbers.

Note that on one of the Cambodian maps - probably the first one - Communist
Base Area 611 should show. It's mentioned in chapter XXIII.

I have a duplicate set of stats, so perhaps it will be feasible to get your
corrections over the phone. If not, let me know and we'll pick them up -
and I'll send you my duplicate set for your files, if you like.

Hope they are all essentially all right. I think they look quite nice.

MEMORANDUM

TO: HAK
FROM: Peter

July 30, 1979

The Little Brown publicity people that saw you last week wanted a selection of pictures additional to the ones being used in the book.

The simplest solution is that they look through the "B" pile -- those from the big stack we sent Ned Bradford which Bradford chose not to use. (We sent him about 100, of which only about 60-70, the "A" pile, are being used in the book.)

If you agree, I will tell them to find the "B" pile, which is up there somewhere. As a safeguard, they should send us copies of the ones they want to use -- for your approval.

OFFICE OF
HENRY A. KISSINGER

April 17, 1979

Dear Virginia:

1. Photos: Of the three photos you have asked about, I enclose written evidence of the origin of two, and am pretty sure of the third:

-- Enclosed is a USIS memo of July 9, 1971 confirming that the photo of Dr. Kissinger's arrival in Islamabad is a USIS photo. (This is from a set of pictures turned over to Dr. Kissinger's staff assistant, Hal Saunders, during that trip.)

-- Enclosed also is a USIS memo indicating that the photo with Lon Nol of October 22, 1972 was obtained by USIS from the Khmer (Cambodian) Ministry of Information. Of course, that Cambodian government no longer exists. (For your convenience I have enclosed a smaller print of it which may perhaps reproduce better.)

-- I have nothing similar in writing concerning the photo with Thieu in Saigon, August 17, 1972. However, the photo comes from the same compilation done in February 1974 by USIA which also prompted the Phnom Penh memo. At that time,

USIA in Washington surveyed the USIS posts overseas to collect any photos they had in their files of Dr. Kissinger, who had by that time become Secretary of State. The caption on the back of the Thieu photo was clearly done at the same time as the Phnom Penh memo. Since I am certain the Thieu photo came from the same compilation, this is strong circumstantial evidence that it is also a USIS photo.

-- Unrelated, but perhaps of some help, I am enclosing a negative I found of another photo, one of Dr. Kissinger with Brezhnev, Gromyko, and Dobrynin (possibly September 1972).

2. Maps: I enclose copies of the three maps which could conceivably raise a question of permissions:

-- The first is the map of Sino-Soviet border clashes in 1969 from which I took the information which is on the map I sent you. As you can see, neither the maps nor the entries are comparable. The information they carry is furthermore in the public domain. This map is from Strategic Survey 1969, published in 1970 by the Institute for Strategic Studies in London.

-- The second map is that of the two fronts of the India-Pakistan war of 1971. This is the same map I sent Betsy. It is from Strategic Survey 1971, published in 1972 by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (the same organization, though the word "International" is now included in the name).

-- Third is a map of Jordan from which I borrowed certain information for the map I sent concerning the 1970 Jordanian crisis. I took a US government map of Jordan and added to it two bits of

Dear Mr. Rodman:

Enclosed is a photostat of one map, as prepared by our cartographer from the map copy sent to us, for your and Dr. Kissinger's approval. We would like reactions to its appearance, etc., before the cartographer proceeds with finished art. You will notice little white boxes around some of the figures and words: that is simply something that the photostat picks up from the original (those items being pasted on) but that of course will not show in finished work.

The cartographer followed the copy exactly, including only those place names, rivers, routes, etc., that were underscored in blue. No other details need be included on any of the maps other that those marked in blue? If anything else should be included, do let me know. I must also point out that there will be a label on the Beng River; and of course, I will check over all the maps carefully to make sure that type styles are consistent, all that should be on them is indeed there, and so on.

You may, of course, mark up this stat - and either send it back to me or call me (617-227-0730 extension 425). We all think it looks very nice; I hope you will, too.

May I add that I am looking forward very much to working on this whole project.

SENIOR EDITOR

16 March 1979

Dear Peter:

Here are xerox copies of the pictures we discussed this
morning.

I had passed up the Thieu handshake picture because we
have a fine one of Nixon meeting Thieu at Midway and because
of the arm at left. When that's cropped, as it should be, we're
going to lose Bunker. However, I'm neutral on this one.

I also passed the Soviet Trade Minister photo because it
shows only the back of Henry's head. In the circumstances, though,
we may as well put that meeting in.

The interior picture of Nixon, Haldeman, Ziegler and Henry
in China is not only in color but also somewhat fuzzy. Never-
theless we'll see what happens in black and white.

On second thought, in view of the state of the mails, I think
I'd better send this packet to you via Purolator so you'll be sure
to get it Monday morning.

P.S. I have been assuming that "Official Photographs" on the backs of most of the photographs means no permission required. Is that actually not so?
