Dear Mr. Friedrich:

This is probably the last letter I shall write to
you in Europe. I have gone over almost the entire sociological
section. I cannot say I was very pleased with it--the facts
were all there, but the English was uneven and the organization
chaotic. I have done my best to put into shape for you to work
on. I have rewritten several pages, tightened up the English
into so far as possible, consolidated several of the tables, and
otherwise cut out duplications. It is, however, still far from
a final product.

My suggestion is that you go over the present version
with my corrections and then make any other changes which you
deem appropriate. I will then go over this revised version
once more and put it into final shape. (My comments do not
apply to the section written by Mavrinac).

I look forward to seeing you when you return to the
States. Kind regards.

Dear Henry:

Just a line to thank you for your letter. You know, of course, that I am hoping to be back the end of the week. The plane is scheduled to arrive Friday morning, in Boston. I expect to get immediately at the MS. When will I see you? Perhaps you can let me have a word to the office.

What a time to live through here. Now it's Pou-
jade, Poujade, Poujade! And in turn Dulles, Dulles,
les! I look forward to seeing you again.

As ever,

Dear Mr. Friedrich:

Welcome back to Cambridge. I am enclosing the revised version of Mendeshausen's chapters. I did not make any editorial corrections on them because Mendeshausen included most of my suggestions into his draft. It is a little long, but George Springer, with whom I had a talk last week, told me that we should not feel ourselves bound by the length suggested in his outline. When you go over the manuscript, it might be best to begin with the Economics section because Mendeshausen can be reached in Bennington only until February 15.

I shall be in Cambridge on February 2, arriving about 9:30 and leaving about 9 p. m. Perhaps you would tell my office what time you would like to see me. I shall be up again on February 7 for a meeting of the Advisory Board of *Confluence*.

I look forward to seeing you soon. Best regards.

Dear Henry:

It was nice to have your note.
I too enjoyed seeing you again.

You did not, however, include
your chapter on Foreign Policy but
the one on the Historical Setting which
I have just completed editing and about
which I would like to talk with you
sometime.

If your secretary can find the one
on Foreign Policy I should be glad to have
it. In the meantime a copy has turned
up in the office so it is not absolutely
necessary.

Dear Henry:

I can't find the copy of my
letter to you concerning Stammer's
memorandum and my proposed cuts, as
well as my comments on his memorandum.
Could you dig it out for me and send
it on to Littauer?

To... Dr. Henry Kissinger

Dear Henry:

Thanks for your reprint which I perused
with very great interest - a fine summation of
some of the key points of your thesis.

I am having a pretty dreadful time with
the "sociological" part of the SZ study. I am very
sorry now to have gone along with Parsons on Kavo-
lis. I have had to undo a lot of what he had done-
all this insertion of jargon which you too criti-
cized, - and at the same time do what he did not
do, namely cut down and summarize these much too
lengthy pieces of his and others. I am sorry that
my letter on Stammer evidently never reached you.
I have been doing this over completely, with the
help of Croan who is also revising the foreign
policy piece, under my general direction.

Could you write me what more particularly
you had in mind on the Wilson. I know you told me
but I have forgotten it. At the moment, I am do-
ing the Reason of State lectures for Brown, in
addition to all the rest.

I expect to be in New York Saturday and
part of Sunday, lecturing to a Church conference
in the morning. I'd like to catch a glimpse of you
if possible.

Sincerely,

November 6, 1956

Dear Mr. Friedrich:

It was good, as always, to hear from you and I
appreciate your kind comments about my article. I am
afraid that I do not get up to Cambridge very often these
days but I am very hopeful indeed that you will call me
the next time you come to New York.

You may be surprised by this letterhead and
I would like to tell you more about it but I am afraid
it is too pedantic a story. Suffice it to say that it is
both less impressive and less permanent than it may
appear and that I'm doing this between the gap in
finishing the book for the Council and assuming my
duties in Chicago.

With kind regards,

Mr. Carl Friedrich

Thank you very much for
asking me to join you for dinner with

Unfortunately, I have an engagement
for that evening. As for the seminar,
that too is out because I have my own
seminar at that hour. Best wishes for
a good meeting.

Dear Henry:

You were going to write me after you got to Munich, if not before, what day might be feasible for you for a visit to Heidelberg. Since I have not heard I am a bit afraid that you did not get there. If you did, I hope to see you when I speak at the Institut next Thursdaz, June 30. I am not sure though that, either for you or for us, it will be feasible to work out a talk at this late date. I hope though that you will at least pay us a visit on the way home.

Dear Henry:

I recently had a letter from an outfit calling
itself "The Institute for Defense Analyses" asking eleven
quite difficult questions. Since I never heard of this
Institute, nor of the man writing the letter, Vincent,
I am turning to you in the hope that you can tell me whether
this Institute is an important one to whose inquiry it would
be worth giving the time and attention which such a reply
would require.

I am sorry that the summer passed without my
ever seeing you. Being in Cambridge twice a week for lec-
tures and seminars I thought I would surely run into you
but I never did. In the meantime things have happened,
which as you can imagine, have made me acutely unhappy.
I was not surprised by the action of the DDR and the SU
but I was surprised about our failure to respond with the
necessary firmness. I know I am in the minority but I feel
that we failed to live up to the commitment which we made
when we accepted a clear breach of treaty obligations by
the Soviet Union without more than paper protest. I would
very much like to discuss these issues with you before
going abroad again on September 16 to attend the IPSA meeting
in Paris.

Dear Henry:

Since our get together last night did not provide an opportunity for talking to you about my suggestions, I would like to take this occasion to say that I have a number of ideas which I would like to place before you in response to your note of January 18. More particularly would I mention two younger Germans, one Dr. Schierwater, the other Dr. Neunreither. The latter is the fellow who is Secretary for two of the Assembly's Committees. Schierwater did a fine study on the Assembly. But there are a number of other suggestions and plans, including those connected with my activities as Rapporteur General for IPSA on the general subject; Federalism, National and International. Since unfortunately I cannot be with you on February 26, as you know, I hope that we may find an opportunity after my return.

August 5, 1963

Dear Carl:

You asked me to confirm the arrangements worked out with Henry and me at lunch on July 18 regarding Center support for a Study by you on European integration.

The Study would have the focus outlined in your memo and developed in our talk. Essentially, it would examine how the growing contacts in business, labor, universities, family ties, and possibly communes or some other form of contact are affecting attitudes within the European Community and a sense of the Community among its citizens.

Out understanding is that you will undertake the production of a volume (or possibly two) with the help of about five younger associates whom you will recruit in Europe. You, however, will take final responsibility for supervising their work and for the final Study. The expectation is that it would require about two years for completion.

For the expenses of the Study, the Center will undertake to provide $15,000 which will be increased if absolutely necessary to a maximum of $20,000 over the two year period for compensation of the research associates, travel, and all other expenses. For their research, the five associates would receive up to $2,500 apiece as you may work out with them. This sum will be payable either on the completion of their work or at intervals on partial completion. Since the financing of the Study will have to be provided from the unrestricted funds of the Center, the Center does not now expect to provide any compensation for your services. If special financing should become available, we hope to arrange for freeing you from the teaching responsibility for one-half year at the end to assist you in completing the Study.

Dear Professor Friedrich:

Many thanks for your call. As I said, the topic "Theory of Totalitarian Dictatorship" will be very pertinent to the participants' current concerns.

We will expect you in Room 511, Lamont Library at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, August 4. We will count on your staying for lunch with a selected group of seminar members, but if you are too pressed to include this in your schedule, it will not be too late to let me know when you come Tuesday morning.

Enclosed is a list of the participants. I look forward to seeing you.

Dear Henry:

I was told by a staff member of the Munich Institute on Strategic Studies (if that is the title) that you were definitely planning to come over for a meeting Jan. 25-28. It so happens that I have a lecture in Munich the evening of Jan. 28. Any chance of our seeing each other? Would you stop on the way? Could you arrange for me to sit in on the concluding meeting at the conference? I have not yet been at the Institute, but know a good deal about it. The conference attendance is evidently in the hands of Wiesner who is also expected to come. I am not sure I can manage, but if he and you wanted me too, I'd make a determined effort. I'll be staying at one of the big hotels in Munich, probably the Bayerische Hof. Drop me a line, will you?
