Dear Henry:

You were magnificent the other day. I think
about all but three of the outsiders who
were there called to say how thoughtful and
pleasant you were. You have a very easy and
comfortable manner.

I halfway suspect that when you float back
to these parts you will be running for
office?

In any event, many, many thanks. We appreciated
it.

Kind regards.

Dear Henry,

I just realize that you may not be in Washington
July 25th and that in such an event I can not come and pay my respects.

However, if you have the time to get a message to
me, when you might be able to see me briefly before my departure for
Europe August 8th, I would appreciate it (212-280-3664 office, direct
line, at Columbia). I would like to call to your attention a number
of persons that can be of interest to you and/or might be helpful
to know at different occasions.

Best wishes on your trip !

P.S. Today I hear of a rather disappointing development in Austria which will certainly interest you. On the last day of Parliament a law was quickly passed (the so-called "Zwischenzeitgesetz") which had failed to obtain approval in the prerequisite "Begutachtungsverfahren", was however passed unanimously in committee, granting those thousands of Austrian bureaucrats who had served under Hitler a retroactive pay and advancement for same, especially, when out of work, due to de-nazification. It will cost the state big sums of money. The Jews who suffered have not yet received a just retribution; freedom fighters and resistance fighters none at all. I am truly ashamed, especially, when one considers, that Vienna may become the spot where our President Nixon meets and confers with a Russian counterpart. What an affront such a law is also to the Americans who liberated Austria !

Dear Henry,

Your nice letter of January 15 has been chasing me back and forth. Please excuse the delay in answering not earlier.

First of all: best wishes for your most difficult task. I am sure though, that you are not only doing it well, but also thriving on it. Only people with a broad view, many overseas experiences and a loyalty to the most basic human rights can begin to appreciate the burden that is now resting also upon your shoulders. I often think of you and since you know me as a religious man, I hope you do not mind, also in my prayers.

Secondly, I have sad news. My oldest son was tragically killed on January 9th. And it was not in the war, either. It is still taking much of our substance to understand it all. His remaining six sisters and brothers are saying he is off to a great voyage; I hope so !

Thirdly, the Ford Foundation has given me a wonderful grant. I have been working and writing on a book on "political ecology". It is good to be off for a year, after twenty years of uninterrupted teaching. We still live at Schloss Eichbüchl in Austria. I still run seminars there and try to perpetuate the spirit of the Diplomatic Academy. My successor at the Academy has, unfortunately, no imagination at all. The place has deteriorated much. We still have many visitors from the East, including the Soviet Union, despite the rape of Czechoslovakia. In fact, recently, some high placed East European diplomats expressed the wish to organize at the castle informative discussion sessions any time I have important Western visitors. I am glad to say that we have started that confidential and informal round of "diplomatische Gespräche". Austria is a good spot for that. Austrians are, however, not too enterprising to promote it.

Finally, I plan to be in Washington July 25th and over the weekend. I'll take the liberty to call on you to pay my respects for a few minutes. If I can't see you---which I fully understand---I'll leave a note. Please feel free to call on me directly or through some aides of yours, if I can be of any help.

Here is wishing you well in the feeling of
friendship

Aide - Memoire

(conversation with a Canadian engaged in the negotiations
with the PRC government. Montreal, Oct.16,1970)

1. Summer 1970 Trip to and through the Peoples Republic of China

Took regular Air France flight from Paris to Shanghai; efficient and uneventful. Plane was booked almost to capacity with Chinese and other diplomats German technicians; Austrian, British, French and Swedish businessmen. Chinese customs were more lenient than in the US, but difficulties in obtaining a visa had obviously already screened travelers. Shanghai airport was as busy as a medium-sized European one; not as busy as US or Canadian one; with almost exclusively domestic flights, however. Flight from Shanghai to Peking was in Russian-built jet; more efficient than Russian flights. At least 20 very solicitous hostesses and stewardesses, all young girls, wore no uniforms. With the exception of pigtails for each of them, they dressed individually. Besides very good food and drinks, they busied themselves teaching clusters of passengers recently revived anti-Japanese war songs. Peking airport appeared comfortably busy, pleasant and very orderly. Visited all sections of China, except Sinkiang and Tibet during the 4 1/2 months stay. The Chinese authorities wanted him to see as much as possible. 2,100 miles were covered by privately chauffered car. Roads near cities are in good conditions. Longdistance travel by car, however, is tedious. There is little road traffic in goods. Planes, trains and boats are major carriers. All means of transport are always filled to capacity. Travel is safe and not uncomfortable. People appear very considerate of each other. The Chinese countryside appears equisitely beautiful. Very little is blighted by industry. Ecological problems are not as evident as in some parts of the West and the Soviet Union.

2. Impressions of Life and Culture in the PRC

Fluency in the Chinese language helped facilitate contacts. There seems to exist a general suspicion of foreigners and practically no curiosity to meet one. Conversations were usually very formal and very official. At no time was there a thaw in that behavior. However, it was observed that throngs of people were always quick to exploit a humorous side of an encounter for laughter. On the non-serious side of contact level there was much genuine cameraderie observable. It was impossible during these months, with guide or without guide, to discover any serious signs or challenges to the new post-cultural revolution Culture. People in various walks of life seem to be completely immersed in finding happiness through dedicated work. Some rumors of suicides do reach the visitor's ears. There was no tension in youth in evidence. Most faces in the crowds belong to young people. Usually, faces were expressionless. The atmosphere was not oppressive, but orderly and purposeful. Mao's little red book is really being read, waved, quoted. Building modern China seems infused with a consensual religious fervor. Small children are well-dressed, seem happy and are being coralled both in cities and larger places in the countryside. Visits to villages showed, however, much evidence of the old-life patterns, except the presence of masses of students engaged in agriculture, teaching, manufacturing, modernizing etc. Funerals, for example, still take place, but the community says prayers in turn, rather than a monk. Village peasants seem glad to give students around. They in turn consider work for and with the people a prerequisite for further study. Food is plentiful and of satisfactory quality. The main distributor is still the marketplace and small shopkeepers. Canned goods play an important role. Restaurants in big cities offer again exquisite dishes. Teahouses are frequented everywhere, although the pace of life has quickened. There is no evidence that Western chain-stores and mass-distribution centers are as yet being copied. The Chinese small merchant is still very important. Moreover, the is still a pronounced selfsufficiency. People still produce a great deal for them - selves. A wide-spread frugality in consumer goods has not yet caused a rethinking of the productive and distribution system. China produces, however, its own bicycles, typewriters, quality textiles, pharmaceutical stuff, to mention only a few examples. There is a great pride in China's own

automobile industry. Modes have similar lines as some German cars, especially the Mercedes, and are, according to foreign residents, of much better quality than Russian cars. Seemingly, because of the inexhaustible supply of labor, the "reconstruction" and "modernization" after the cultural revolution is making giant strides. Cultural life is truly as Chinese illustrated magazines depict it: mass-spontaneity, mass-participation, mass-enthusiasm. Yet, these masses appear different than in Tokyo or Calcutta. Everything seems permeated by a purposefulness and pride. The young seem to be the bearers of it and seem to be pulling the masses along.

## 3. Aftermath of the Cultural Revolution

It is most noticeable in the new approach to education. Years of schooling have been shortened. Every youngster is required to enter several years of manual labor after the 12th year of schooling. Essentially this means an exodus of millions to the Chinese countryside, away from their families, into new communal relationships. This move relieves crowded living quarters in the cities and helps keep youths busy with work. Apparently, Chinese teenagers, so far, gain thus self-validation experiences. Only after having proven oneself for a number of years, can a youngster proceed to higher education. During the cultural revolution many economic, social and political activities had been in abeyance. The apparent result—no more of a shop that was closed for "modernization" than for "repairs." Millions of newly "awakened" simple people are now fully engaged in catching-up. The cultural revolution seemed to have mobilized many more energies, hitherto slumbering, than crippled the country. It also stimulated social inventions. In view of previous widespread criticism of "bureaucracies," "aparatus," "operators" and the like, the cultural revolution stimulated popular participation and curtailed the historic traditional powers of an educated elite operating through an insensitive bureaucracy, also under Communism. The unity and order in the country seem to be maintained by the military which thus "permits" this mobilization and participation of involved masses. The generation gap seems closing, because of family debating sessions. There are no signs of any religious life. Its liquidation was one of the major concomitants of the cultural revolution. China remains ambivalent. It seems to prefer domestic engagement to either support for revolutions around the globe and/or entering the international organization world. The latter appears more a strategy for pragmatic ends, the former appears to fulfill a real pride in their own revolution. Surely, much of the world is still seen through the glasses of that indigenous experience. Raison d'être has not yet been established.

## 4. Politics

There is a great deal of confidential information that could not be discussed. Some of it was discussed, but can not be divulged. Nonetheless, some of the most significant insights into events in the PRC can be gleaned from the political observations, conversations and negotiations. Chairman Mao looks keener and healthier than ever (there exists no rumor that it might not be him). While he does not stop "hero worship" of himself, he, quite different from dictators, does not encourage it or participate in it either. He has surrounded himself with very well-informed people (many read the New York Times!), competent in the leading of masses and in administrative specialties. He acts much like the chairman of a board. Doubtlessly, Chou is his most devoted and best "chief of staff". Mao is said to have handled the cultural revolution with intuition. Chou handled it with sheer hard work and tact, rather than with tactics, usually sleeping no more than four hours. The cultural revolution is said not only to have broadened the base of political power and political succession, but also to have matured it. This leadership is better informed about events in Europe than in the USA, though. The younger ones know more about the developing countries than curiously about Canada and the US. China's political sophistication is beamed on Paris, London, Eastern Europe. The most frequent question asked was how to avail oneself of Eurodollars. Trade with Europe seems preferable over exchanges with Hongkong and Japan. The current trade theory is a theory of political economy, namely, to purchase prototypes of products or entire factories and not to open an exchange of goods bi- or multilaterally. One is in search of a useful "prototype" of a Diesel locomotive, at present, for example. The most welcome partners and also, next to the English speaking colony (often self-exiled), most numerous foreign group is the German speaking one composed

Dear Ernst:

Many thanks for your letter of July 28.
Your words of encouragement and sup-
port are very welcome, as is your as-
sistance.

You have been having some interesting
contacts lately. I am most interested to
hear about them and hope that you will
keep me informed.

I am glad to hear what you are doing now.
Your work at the castle sounds fascinat-
ing and challenging and I am sure you are
enjoying it.

Washington, D.C.

Dear Henry,

First of all congratulations on your successful mission to the People's Republic of China. I was not only thrilled at the news, but also impressed by the magnanimous and statesman like attitude of our President in this entire matter. I am happy to have been able to play a small role in all of this. You recall that at my last visit to the White House I had come to obtain some suggestions as to names. The Chinese wanted to invite some Americans. I answered then, as on previous occasions in Paris that the foremost priority lies in inviting you. I hope that thereby a situation of mutual trust has begun to develop.

Last week the Chinese here invited me for lunch and this afternoon for tea. They are "up to something". The conversations were very cordial and they showed themselves well informed about details on my contacts in Paris. They raised again the question of a delegation of Americans. At the moment it seems that the target date is the October festivity. I thought I quickly mention this to you.

Last week also I saw the Soviet ambassador and tomorrow evening Johanna and I are invited for supper. There is deep concern about US policy. It is my personal opinion that every effort must be made to assure the Russians that US policy vis-a-vis China is not aimed against the Soviet Union, but simply purports to help build a more stable world peace. I have tried to emphasize that reading your writings would persuade them that you think in "European" categories of diplomacy and that an odd-numbered set of players on the international scene is a greater guarantor of peace than any even numbered one. If I understand the President's pronouncements correctly, he is genuinely interested in an understanding with both, PRC and USSR. In this connection, as you know, I have been asked several times, to help organize a seminar on "European Security". I'll keep you informed on this as well.

Also last week the highest ranking Cambodian official in Europe has approached me, before his departure for Peking and seeing Sihanouk again, to facilitate a meeting between him and you, if you happen to be in Europe. He would like to do it at Eichbühl. He assured me that "they" are not "communists" and want an understanding with the US. More on that, as soon, as I hear from him again.

You'll be glad to know that after my departure from UNESCO and my full-time return to the Center, I was able (as ex-director) to obtain a very interesting consultancy to Maurice Strong, helping prepare for the UN-Environment Conference in Stockholm. My responsibility is the analysis and coordination of the so-called "country studies", that is gathering all available information on national legislation and administration of environmental protection. You can imagine how fascinating this truly trans-national enterprise is. The UN has loaned me several young trainees for staff. We are eight at the moment, having a small "UN" at the castle in the mountains.

Have a good summer ! Cordially yours,

Dear Henry,

I did WHO Kissinger, Henry

Thank you for yours of August 5th. There are several matters of interest which I would like to pass on confidentially.

First of all, friends in Peking have sent signals that an imminent invitation may be expected. I wish I could see you before such a trip...

Secondly, since I have signed a contract with the UN as consultant, I have just been asked to attend some sessions in New York and must be there beginning September 12th. I hope to be able to come to Washington and see you again.

Thirdly, the following are some excerpts from a letter which will interest you. My contact has also suggested that he meet with you here at Eichbüchl.

"Cher ami, ... La question du Cambodge est différente de celle du Vietnam et du Laos. Au Vietnam, les patriotes groupés au sein du FRONT NATIONAL DE L'LIBERATION ont dûte pendent de longues années pour avoir l'appui de la population. Appuyé maintenant par la grande majorité de la population et bénéficiant ainsi de la légitimité, les amis et patriotes vietnamiens ont formé le Gouvernement Révolutionnaire Provisoire de la République du Vietnam du Sud (GRPRVS). Au Cambodge, la légitimité est avec Samdech NORODOM SIHANOUK, Chef légal de l'Etat du Cambodge, dont la destitution par la clique des traitres LON NOL-SIRIK MATAKSON NGOC THANH est anti-constitutionnelle. Le régime actuel des usurpateurs du pouvoir constitutionnel de Phnom-Penh est illegal et illegitime et ne bénéfice pas de l'appui du peuple cambodgien. A l'heure actuelle, ... le Gouvernement Royal d'Union Nationale du Cambodge a libéré et contrôlé effectivement plus de 7/10 du territoire national et plus de quatre millions d'habitants sur sept millions. ... nous avons la sympathie et le soutien de la grande majorité de la population. ... cette clique fasciste et anti-populaire ne peut survivre que grâce à l'aide de l'administration NIXON. ... elle peut tout au plus prolonger... son agonie... L'avenir des relations entre nos deux pays sera sauvée si le Président Nixon mette fin immédiatement à cette aide accordée aux traitres. J'espère que le Président NIXON et son Conseiller le Docteur KISSINGER établirait la politique des USA en fonction de l'avenir.

Je précise que le FUNK ne traitera jamais avec les traitres usupateurs du pouvoir constitutionnel: il n'est pas question pour nous de parler avec eux. Nous négligeons ces traitres de Phnom-Penh. Notre futur partenaire pourrait être à la riguer le Président NIXON ou son représentant. Nous sommes disposés à aider le Président NIXON à se désengager du Cambodge s'il mette un term à l'agression contre notre

Dear Henry,

The Third Session of the Preparatory Committee for the above UN Con-
ference is coming to an end. Before I return to Austria, I'll be spending a few
days, beginning tomorrow, away from the UN, visiting in the US, also Washington
(probably October 1 and 8). If time permits, I'll call you briefly.

The major point, however, I can mention in this letter and thus
not impose on your precious time. Several days ago a friend who had just come from
Peking brought me news and greetings from two of my acquaintances there. Both
stressed in their note a "desire" on the part of many in key positions to have our
President visit "earlier" than Spring. It is thought that Spring is late in view
of current world tensions. They also expressed grave concern about the seeming
contradictions in US policy vis-a-vis the PRC. I know of your sincerity and of
your influence in that direction and will again reiterate that. The names may
interest you: Kuo Mo-jo (Deputy Chairman of the People's Congress and the Pre-
sident of the Academy of Arts and Sciences; incidentally, a good poet) and
Wang Kuo-Chuan (Ambassador to Poland and involved in eight years of US-China
talks at Warsaw).

Needless to say, the work of senior consultant to the Secretariat (Maurice Strong) of the UN Conference, with base in Austria at my Center, is very satisfying. Hope all is well with you.

With warm personal regards,

Dear Ernst:

My many trips outside of the country have
made it impossible to reply to your letter of
July 7.

It is totally out of the question for me to accept
any money from any individual for whatever
purpose. Indeed, even the proposal that I should
consider it is impossible. I must therefore
ask you to stop writing me about this matter.
I want to make it absolutely clear that you are
in no sense authorized to discuss these issues
and that I can only find such a proposal highly
objectionable.

Lieber Henry !

Als ich soeben aus USA, Paris, Genf und Stuttgart nach Hause kam, fand ich Deinen Brief vom 27. Juni vor. Am 28. Juni hatte ich von der UN/New York aus angerufen und am 29. Juni nochmals in Washington selbst. Leider sagte mir beide male Miss Drearus (Sp ?), daß es sehr schwierig sein würde für Dich mich zu empfangen---was ich vollauf verstehe.

Dassie ja nicht informiert schien, darf ich kurz nochmals wiederholen und Dich bitten, falls Du Interesse hast mich telegraphisch zu verständigen. Am 6. Juli war der letzte "pre-trial" Tag für die Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens betreffend Prof. Hans Deutsch. Dr. Augstein, sein Advokat, berichtet mir, daß der Prof. zu im Oktober mit fliegenden Fahnen gewonnen werden wird und der BRD ein Vielfaches von einem Vergleich kosten wird. Aus verschiedensten Gründen habe ich immer einen Vergleich angestrebt. Bis 15. Juli des Jahres hat mir Prof. Deutsch auch die alleinige Chance eingeräumt einen solchen zustande zu bringen. Er hat sich sogar erwärmen laßen das Geld in diverse Stif tungszwecke zu stecken, da er es selbst ja nicht benötigt. U.a. hätte er meine Stiftung beschenken wollen. Da ich aber in der Weltgeschichte keine Rolle spielen, sondern eher als Bauer hier lebe, dachte ich, würde ich Dir das Geld zukommen laßen. Du hast eine einmalige Chanze in der Zeitgeschichte und sollst dafür auch die unabhängigen Mittel haben. Ich dachte dabei an eine Million Dollar. Ich muß mich täuschen, wenn Brandt usw nicht einem Argument Deinerseits, nämlich einen Vergleich anzustreben, sich verschlißen würde. Die vielen Details, die sich um diese Geschichte ranken, hätte ich Dir persönlich gerne auseinandergesetzt.

Nach dem 15. Juli übergibt Prof. Deutsch jenen Versuch einem israelischen Staatsmann, der großen Einfluß in der BRD hat. Die SPIEGEL Nummer ist bis nach dem oben erwähnten letzten "hearing" verschoben worden. Ich sende Dir dann eine Kopie, sobald der Artikel erscheint. Augstein selber will ihn schreiben und hat dafür all das Material angefordert.

Es tut mir leid, wenn ich Dich mit dieser ganzen Affaire belästigt haben sollte.

Im Juli haben wir Seminare hier. Im August besteht eine leise Möglichkeit, daß ich kurz wieder nach USA muß. Im Herbst soll ich wieder nach China (Du hast doch meine Karte aus Peking erhalten ?). Zur UN Generalversammlung bin ich wieder in New York. Vielleicht ergibt sich einmal ein Wiedersehen. Hätte ich von Deinem köstlichen Abend mit Lord K. in Salzburg geahnt, wäre ich sicherlich dazu gestoßen.
