Dear Dr. Kissinger:

An editorial in The New York Times of January 16, 1977 entitled "The Era of Kissinger" has been duplicated and mailed with a copy of the enclosed letter to the President and Rosalynn Carter and certain political leaders across the country as well as editorial writers of The New York Times and the New York Post.

My wife and I think you have done a wonderful job in your immensely difficult assignment as Secretary of State. The editorial in the Times, also enclosed, says as much.

We have had correspondence in connection with my book "TODAY -- the WORLD. . . ", a short compact work on the matter of nuclear proliferation, which will be published the end of February, and you will be receiving a complimentary copy.

Good luck to you and best wishes,

and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.

Dear President and Mrs. Carter:

TOWARD NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL REHABILITATION

Very recently, Mrs. Carter, I read the article in the *New York Times* about your interest in our national mental health. This was very encouraging, since this problem concerned you as the First Lady of the United States after Mr. Carter's inauguration.

For a number of years, as with many other thinking people, I have also been concerned about our national mental wellbeing. With the election of Jimmy Carter, as President, and your interest as his wife in our national mental wellbeing, an extraordinary opportunity is presented to take steps now Toward National and International Rehabilitation.

Proposals follow. Obviously, these can only be effected by the active and responsible direction and endorsement of the incoming President and his wife, yourself.

Fresh outlooks, fresh initiatives and definitions with thorough re-examinations are urgently needed in this transitional time in which the world faces an uncertain future, the uncertainty clouded by the imminent threat of nuclear war.

This threat has thrown us off our balance. A healthy and sane national attitude has been thrown into confusion. Before nuclear warfare emerged as a dreadful possibility, even probability, no one would have charged us as being mentally unbalanced. The highest officers of our government have been infected, executives of our Department of State and its representatives, our Ambassadors, statesmen and domestic politicians have all been susceptible to and influenced by this imbalance of mind. In all our history we have never dreamed of using a tool as capable of destroying all of us everywhere as the tool of nuclear warfare. If a political difference arises that we cannot tolerate, worldwide extinction is threatened. Is that not insane? To use a familiar term, is it not crazy?

January 27, 1977

A sweep-up and clean-up from top to bottom is what is needed, which means, President and Mrs. Carter, some reorganization of the structure of our government.

I submit that we need either a completely reorganized Department of State or else a new Department of Domestic and International Relations. This new Department could be called a Department of Peace and regardless of its name would function as such. Every country has always had a Department of War. The term "war" must be dropped from our lexicon. By conventional definition war is any condition of conflict or hostility between nations, states or parties. Its language is military. Today its threat is nuclear. The technological advances of the past generation have brought us into direct conflict with ourselves, the inevitable result of the discovery of the impossibly dreadful power of nuclear energy.

Indeed, if the word "war" must be dropped from our lexicon, then every other quality of the right to be: - morality, ethics, politics, economics, codes of right and wrong, decency, religious and philosophical definitions, - every cultural signpost we inherited with the turn of the century and accepted as the rules and guides to live by, now, must be closely reexamined. The fresh initiatives and outlooks previously mentioned now become desperately necessary.

The published papers of the U.S. Army Control and Disarmament Agency (an Agency of the Department of State), as a matter of opinion, if not of policy, support this view:

> "We live in an age which is characterized by *vast* and *growing* potentialities for destruction. Arms control offers a means of lessening the dangers that face us, But if arms control is not to prove an illusory enterprise, the agreements we make must be capable of adequate *verification*.

> This is not to say that *verification* should be expected to satisfy all doubts or remove every uncertainty. There is no easy way to guarantee peace and security in an uncertain world. The dangers of a continued competition in (nuclear) armaments make it imperative to explore the alternatives of agreed restraints; but they should not lead us to imagine that such an alternative can be realized without effort and without risk. New and more comprehensive control agreements are likely to pose greater challenges to our *verification*.

capabilities. But these are challenges we should be prepared
to accept. If the uncertainties of the future are real, the
opportunities for arms control are also real. We cannot
afford to neglect them." (underlining mine)

This is where our policy regarding nuclear warfare stands today, and this position is untenable and unacceptable. It simply increases our confusions; we wind up where we began. As a matter of policy, the present fruitless efforts our government is making in this printed report, arrives at a full circle when the critical elements of _verification_ are pushed to their reasonable limits.

Although there is no essential distinction between the technology of a nuclear explosive device for weapons purposes, and one for peaceful uses, we have sent these treaties of 1974 and 1976, both signed in Washington and Moscow, to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification. The essential ambiguity which must be adequately _verifiable_ is sent to our Senate for concurrence.

It is submitted that such an ambiguity is not only difficult, but practically impossible of _verification_ and, further, that if the word "war" should be dropped from our lexicon, the term "nuclear war" should also be banned.

The reorganization of the Department of State would require a complete turnaround in the policy of the use of nuclear energy in war time. The new government agency or the reorganized Department of State, actively involved with the United Nations and with International jurists, would re-develop its structure within the framework of the new world order. As you probably are aware, its organization, goals, responsibilities and its membership are already in various stages of planning by those who love the whole of mankind and know how to work for its enduring good.

What is wrong, dear President and Mrs. Carter, with initiating a major
change in international policy of this kind when we have the genius
and the tools with which to accomplish it?

After Watergate, the time is now right for such an _ideological-nuclear bomb_ of government reorganization as briefly sketched. There has been a lot of intelligent talk about a new world order. Rehabilitation of our own world here in the United States can be a first step in creating it.

We are heavy with power. What country getting rid of the present myopia as now confuses our vision, is better equipped to undertake such action and SUCCEED?

In 1967, you will recall that the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), published a 700-page catalogue of Federal Assistance Programs, "to assist the American people in furthering their social and economic progress." It covered human needs and skills, sociological and environmental problems and the full range of mental and welfare services then available in a thorough-going and comprehensive presentation. This was developed by Sargent Shriver and started at the time by Congress and the Bureau of the Budget. I would ask Sargent Shriver to redo the program of 1967 now as a domestic program of the Federal Government for public study and sound and revise it for sane effective use.

But since 1967, we had Vietnam; we had Mylai; Kent State; Attica and Watergate. We've had criminal violence exploding everywhere, especially today; we've had cuts in the funding of social welfare, medicare and relief for the aged. Military accounting drew a balance on Vietnam and presumably turned a cease-fire into the end of that war, but the reckoning is far from over and our sociological accountancy is deeply in the red. Since Vietnam, Cambodia has gotten the same treatment from us that Vietnam experienced. The news photo of the naked child running in the road screaming with pain, napalmed by an American plane, her burning clothes torn off behind her, is etched in our minds.

In 1977, the personal and social securities we live by are shaken up or torn down in a world of disintegrating moralities. The computer has taken us to the moon and back, but left us in the muddy confusions of deceits one after another. We are caught in the quicksands of lying muddied by our many attempts to escape. In 1977 we are technological giants with dirty hands and minds, President and Mrs. Carter, it is to weep if we could...

Our soldiers have repeatedly risked and lost their lives fighting the battles of the America they love. A retired United States Army Colonel, in a letter to the *New York Times*, asked what was happening to America? He was filled with despair when this country conducted the most savage bombing in world history on a small Asian nation at Christmas time. This retired Army Colonel is now in Australia. His letter can be found in the *New York Times* of February 27, 1973

Adlai Stevenson also wrote: "...we travel together, passengers on a *fragile* spaceship - preserved from annihilation only by the *work*, *care* and *love* we give our fragile craft..." (underlining mine)

Since 1967 the unsound and the disturbed infiltrate our government and there is much feeble-mindedness of wit in high places, twisting us off our course at Mylai, in Vietnam and at Watergate, and today in the *proliferation of deadly nuclear weaponry*.

We remind ourselves that man has genius. He invented the computer and with that - instant communication reflecting God-like power. Lapses of time vanish. Space shrinks. Apparently, man can hold universes in his hands as God does with sparrows. His powers at times seem infinite... Must he continue to put them to ugly and grubby use?

The political leaders in America are all our own choice. Who placed them upstairs? Haven't they demonstrated their inadequacies long enough? These other leaders in labor, religion and education who ally themselves with the party repairmen, knowing less than they; shouldn't we send them all to mental institutions until they are well again? Or simply send them back to school? What do we need these pilots and captains for, when they don't know how to keep us out of repeated turbulences that sooner or later can wreck our ship?

And the hundreds of thousands of the rest of us who follow along thoughtlessly, are we not also at fault? When small bits of corruption take place, we ignore them... We ignore it when a candidate for public office makes deals with supporters of dubious worth, and if the price is right, like a library or a school facility with a church's blessing, the dubiety of the supporter's record is forgotten and his marriage to the candidate is applauded. The hundreds of thousands of the rest of us go along with these innumerable instances of moral delinquency as they occur until they infest the social fabric inexbericably. A little criminality goes a long way, and who cares....? You do.

*This is an appeal and a challenge.* Great changes are in order and needed now, with men and women of bold minds and vision, incorruptible integrities and firm wills to execute them. This new reorganized Department of State, with an international imprimatur and sterling leadership, would show us how to get out of the troubles we've gotten into, in Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, and in the whole world by way of nuclear warfare.

In 1977, with the accession of you, Jimmy Carter to the Presidency, it is a responsibility of your office, which I pray you will accept, to seek out the men of stature, integrity and ability qualified to organize and direct this new Department which is proposed. They are the men now at work in universities, laboratories, and multi-national corporations in chemicals, communications, transportation, electronics, astrophysics and advanced studies in human behavior. We have these talents of infinite resource.

Nothing is this letter, of course, is to be construed as denying or limiting our will or power to effectively defend our new domestic and international policies by conventional means whenever this may be determined as a fully justified course of action.

Copies of this letter are being sent to Messrs. Henry A. Kissinger and Cyrus Vance, others to the editorial chiefs of the *New York Times* and the *New York Post*, with whom I have had previous correspondence.

Also, copies will go to the members of the Executive Board of the Federation of Parent Organizations for the New York State Mental Institutions, a nonprofit organization with which I am associated dedicated to the mentally disabled in New York State institutions.

The Era of Kissinger

Henry Kissinger has not been President of the United States for the past eight years; it only seemed that way much of the time. From the White House and then from the sumptuous top of the Department of State, this immigrant professor projected a mind of wit, style and power that commanded the attention of the world. Richard Nixon, who launched, led and finally leaned on him, has been destroyed. Gerald Ford, who could not do without him, has been defeated. And so the remarkable, tormented years that end this week must also be seen as the end of the era of Kissinger.

He has been celebrated as everything from brilliant peacemaker to manipulator of Presidents. He has been denounced as everything from hard-line Cold Warrior to appealing compromiser. He has been accused of arrogance and vanity—and servility and insecurity. Only he among recent American leaders could have said, in the decade of Vietnam and Watergate, that "the illegal we do immediately, the unconstitutional takes a little longer"; and then have it said of him that he was (1) stylishly joking; (2) viciously attacking colleagues; (3) wittily groveling for redemption. He was all these things, alternately the most admired and the most resented leader of his time.

There is no way yet to add up the accounts. For the moment, among the many analyses of his statecraft that have been attempted, we prefer that of our colleague, Leslie H. Gelb, in The Times Magazine last fall. "From the present vantage point," he wrote, "Kissinger seems a flawed strategist but a brilliant tactician, capable of changing and recouping when all appears lost."

He was able to get both the Soviet and the American bureaucracies to begin to master the intricacies of strategic weapons so that their limitation and eventual reduction could be bargained over. He was able to bring Israelis and Arabs to a recognition of their own strategic deadlock and into at least the early phases of negotiation. Belatedly, and only when disaster threatened, he was able to overturn American policy toward black Africa, to repair the neglected relations with allies and to focus American attention on the economic grievances of an embittered third world.

Because he believed in a diplomacy of contending interests, he was willing to leave American policy blind to the human rights and needs of other peoples, willing to "tilt" to any expedient side, willing to meddle extensively in the politics of other states and willing to elude the restraints on executive power in his own society. He was not inherently a democrat, and he was rebelling against the prior vision of making the world safe for democracy. Yet he showed love and gratitude to this country and wished to make the world safe for it. We can only hope that he was wrong in his gloomier speculations about the

capacities of democratic nations to persevere in their own defense.

Mr. Kissinger's is the kind of mind that will find no insult in the judgment that in the largest sense he failed. "Statesmanship," he once wrote in a history of 19th-century diplomacy, "involves not only a problem of conception but also of implementation, an appreciation of the attainable as much as a vision of the desirable. The description of the efforts of Castlereagh and Metternich to harmonize the just with the possible and the international with the domestic legitimization was their story as statesmen. Their failure to achieve permanence for that which they held most dear was their story as men."

The story of Kissinger as statesman turns on an image of a world at the brink of nuclear disaster, with "no alternative to peace." Only a global order among the nations, a balance of power more enduring than any before, he felt, could assure survival. The United States and the Soviet Union were central in this vision because only they could invest their power and restrain their ambitions in ways that would create equilibrium elsewhere. And they could demonstrate by their conduct toward that goal that motives of morality and expediency can be combined.

Mr. Kissinger's foremost objective was to persuade, bribe, threaten and force the Soviet Union into such a compact until huge vested interests of commerce and culture inside both superpowers would make the web permanent. That is why the opening to China became more than a matter of recognizing a great people or reopening embassies. It was to him a major lever of influence over Russian thought and behavior. That is why the withdrawal from Vietnam had to be so slow, grudging and, in the end, brutal. The preservation of American "credibility" and American tolerance for power diplomacy was crucial to the image. That is why, even with Congress in open rebellion, he hurled himself into the quixotic project to punish and resist Soviet meddling in remote Angola. The balance would not hold if it was not vital for Russians to observe it and Americans to defend it. Individually, Mr. Kissinger's policies can be shown to have produced only modest advantage and often great disadvantage and grief. But he was working from a larger script.

This, at any rate, was the essential Kissinger behind the day-to-day cunning and maneuvering, the secrecy and the deception, the contempt for bureaucracy and even law. We can wish for less flamboyant personalities and less tempestuous styles of government, but if we really wish to reject Kissinger we must reject his vision and frame an alternative. Otherwise, in success or failure, we shall be living in his shadow for a very long time.

Dear Mr. Gellendré,

Thank you very much for your letter of 4 September 1976.

I wish to congratulate you on the publication, in book form, of your dramatic commentary on nuclear armaments and international peace.

At the same time, I regret to have to advise you that, as a matter of principle, the Secretary-General cannot lend his official endorsement to publications on programmes which are undertaken outside the formal framework of the United Nations. I am certain that you will appreciate the need for this rule, in view both of the Secretary-General's unique official position and of the many requests for personal endorsements which he receives.

However, I can also assure you of the Secretary-General's continuing great concern about the lack of progress in disarmament. In this context, you may be interested in reading the enclosed booklet which contains the most recent statement of the Secretary-General's views on a number of urgent international issues.

Please be assured that your support of the United Nations is much appreciated.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your great efforts toward
international tranquility. I especially admire your ability to stick by
your guns in face of terrific opposition, even from some of your fellow
Republican Party leaders.

As a registered Democrat, loyal to my party, I still vote for persons
without regard to party. I worked hard for Jimmy Carter and just wrote
him a letter urging him to retain you, a Republican, in his administration.

During W. W. II, in the U. S. Army Air Force (8th), I was chief Russian interpreter; prepared emergency Russian phrases, spelled in English and worn by our pilots with their "dog tags". In Berlin I taught Russian to General Eisenhower's staff, also daily lessons at the University of Berlin. Now I am teaching Russian in Sarasota County.

Our country and all the world will benefit, no matter what national office
you would hold. It is my hope that Mr. Carter will offer you a worthy

Dear Sir:

We all treasure our freedom of speech. Does it cover verbal pleas for a Nazi (Hitler type) regime here in the United States as well as the rest of the world?

Enclosed please find a press reporting of the statement made on C. B. S. Television Channel 13, Tampa, Florida, by Matt Koehl, Chief of the American Nazi Party, as well as a Xerox copy of the letter to the Venice newspaper, The Gondolier, published 2-25-74, from Richard P. Saunders, Unit leader, National Socialist White Peoples Party, St. Petersburg. Both statements advocate the establishment of a Nazi regime in our wonderful free country; and ask that all "White Protestant 100% Americans" send donations to the party headquarters and also join the party to aid in the establishment of the Nazi-type government. It is my understanding that it is not a crime to talk, but that talk may be punishable when it is accompanied by a verbal threat.

I feel that these verbal threats do contribute an effort to overthrow the present United States Government when accompanied by solicitation for membership in the Nazi Party and for donations so that the party may have the manpower and finances to fulfill here what Hitler was able to accomplish in Germany. And turning back that accomplishment in the Second World War cost us and the rest of the free world death, destruction and pain which, even today, endure and cannot be measured.

A lot of people say that they are not scared.... I am scared and I am no hero, but neither am I a quitter; and I do not consider the swastika incidents which I have recently experienced to be purely anti-Semitic. I will continue to fight not only as a Jew or a Veteran but as an American wanting to preserve our country and our American way of life for Americans of any creed, color or ethnic background.

Please advise if I am wrong in the above assumptions and if it does constitute even a veiled threat to overthrow, what can we do before it is too late. I am anxiously awaiting your reply.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I have read with interest that as you are closing out your long and
distinguished career as Secretary of State, you will be writing your
memoirs.

You may recall that you visited Jamaica in December 1975. My family owns a home in Jamaica not too far from the Plantation where you stayed. I thought you might be interested in the enclosed article which appeared in the Main Line Times of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the January issue of 1976, describing your visit to a local restaurant, and some of the events which preceded your visit. Since you have been quoted in this article, and I know you will be looking for some light spots to punctuate your memoirs, I thought you would want to keep this newspaper article with your papers.

On a personal note, I am sorry to see the government of the United States lose a man as talented as you, who has devoted his time and energy so tirelessly to keeping the United States strong and raising the prestige of this Country in the eyes of the World.

Yours sincerely,

THE HONORABLE HENRY KISSINGER
SECRETARY OF STATE

DEAR MR. SECRETARY:

JUST A NOTE TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR THE
FINE LEADERSHIP YOU ARE GIVING OUR NATION AND
WORLD. YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT ASSET TO OUR COUNTRY.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

It is with sorrow and regret that the change of administrations
leads to the loss of one who has contributed so immeasurably to
recent U. S. foreign policy. Historians shall make reference to
you in the millenniums to come as one of the Great.

As a past member of the U. S. Military responsible for a segment
of your transportation requirements, I can recall several humorous
incidents of your total disregard of the present. For instance,
one very foggy and rain swept evening on a scheduled flight from
San Clemente to Los Angeles by helicopter, your comment to quote,
"I'm glad we're flying because its so terrible to be driving".
Of course I couldn't possibly recreate the accent but always
thought on that particular occasion that I would rather be driving
than flying. And there were many such flights I was privileged to
fly you by Army helicopter from one point or the other.

It would seem that from such a pinnacle as Secretary of State,
anything would be lesser in degree but titles do not depict all.
For what you have been, and for what you have done, titles are
meaningless. You have transcended the petty political boundaries
and are a man of our times.

Without appearing sorrowful, which I am, or apprehensive, which I
am, may I thank you for a superlative performance in behalf of all
Americans. Many of us will miss you but know fully that the past
is only a partent of the greatness the future holds for yourself
and our country.

To continued success, I remain,

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I have wanted to write you for many years. While you were Secretary of State, I feared that you would be too busy to reply to me. Now you are no longer Secretary of State, but you are about to embark upon your memoirs. Nevertheless, I hope you will have time to read and reply to my letter.

Dr. Kissinger, I feel that I am an ardent defender of yours. I was saddened in 1976 when the Reagan Republicans began to attack you and your foreign policy. I thereupon wrote a letter (labelled A) to the Carter Campaign. My letter was evidently effective, judging by the reply (B). Because of the letter, I was invited to president Carter's inauguration.

I was also disappointed in the attitude, toward you, of the American Jewish community--of which I am a member. In March 1975 I sent a two page message to American Jewish leaders (C). The message was never acknowledged.

I also include, as a funny-serious piece, my ad (D) for a Fictitious Vacation 1976, in which I urge a joint travel authority in the Middle East between the Arabs and the Israelis. The purpose is to foster tourism for the benefit of everyone, including the palestinians.

Perhaps you have already guessed that my admiration for you has deep roots. Like you, I came from Nazi Germany as a Jewish refugee. My father in speaking English sounds much like you. I have said that you are the only prominent American who speaks English without an accent. Moreover my cousin, Miss Erna Casper, is in the same Bnai Brith Lodge in New York City as your parents.

I would be highly honored if you replied to my letter. I would also like to meet you, at your convenience.

Gentlemen:

I am for the Carter-Mondale ticket.

I would like to express myself off an important matter.

I hope it is not the intention of the Carter-Mondale campaign to subject Dr. Kissinger to political attack. The Reagan people already did, from the Right. In my view, nothing is to be gained by attacking him from the Democratic left or center.

Realistically, it is hard to imagine, had Hubert Humphrey won in 1968 or George McGovern won in 1972, that a Democratic Secretary of State would have done a much better job.

Rather, I suggest that Mr. Carter's approach be along the following lines:

"Dr. Kissinger is a loyal and dedicated American, whose diplomatic talents and skills, under difficult circumstances, saved millions of lives in Vietnam, in the Middle East, and elsewhere. When I am your president, I will request Dr. Kissinger that he be available to me as a valued advisor on Foreign Affairs."

Let's Not Repeat 'Give Us Barabbas!'

A Holy Week Message to American Jewish Leaders

On this day after Easter, the American Jewish community is still observing the passover week. In addition, on the political side, the Jewish American community is primarily concerned about two political international matters:

1. Soviet Jewry.

2. Israel.

In both of these matters, the posture of organized American Jewish groups has been contrary to the executive portion of the government of the United States, as represented by the State Department and its Jewish Secretary, Henry Kissinger. I refer to my earlier pieces, copies of which are attached, 'Let My People Stay,' an ad in the New York Times, and 'To Leaders of the American Jewish Community,' mailed to a limited number of known American Jewish leaders.

I regard Henry Kissinger as the 'Jewish political Messiah,' much as Christians today recognize Jesus Christ as the spiritual Messiah of 1945 years ago. You know, only too well, the unfortunate consequences, for future Jews, of the purported action of the Sanhedrin in turning Jesus Christ over to Pontius Pilate for crucifixion.
St. John 18:40, of the King James version of the New Testament, reports that the Hebrews were offered the return of Jesus, according to the prevailing custom that a prisoner will be released to them at the passover. But the Jewish crowd, according to the Gospel, which Christians regard as sacred as Orthodox Jews regard the Five Books of Moses, yelled in union, 'Give us Barabbas.' Barabbas was a robber.
In other words, the Jews preferred a robber to Jesus.

My friends, there is no Sanhedrin today, fortunately. But you are the American counterpart of that body. Your followers are castigating Henry Kissinger, as I write this on March 31, 1975, for his official positions on Israel and on the Soviet Union. I have heard your followers spout their venom against their own Henry Kissinger, the first Jewish Secretary of State. Like their ancestors, if we are to believe the Gospel, these Jews are unknowingly delivering Henry Kissinger to President Gerald Ford for 'political crucifixion.' They are yelling, 'Give us Melvin Laird' for Secretary of State.

It is not too late to avoid this unfortunate result, if you, the leaders of the American Jewish community, act quickly and decisively.

Needless to say, I am available, at no fee, for consultation.

Mazel Tov!

The Honorable Henry Kissinger
Secretary of State, USA

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

On your first reading of the above fictitious travel agency ad, you will obviously regard it as satire. On your second reading, I hope you will regard it as a serious, viable, long range proposal for a commercial alliance in the Middle East. Such an alliance would benefit both Arabs and Israelis and would promote lasting peace.

Readers' comments to this concept are invited. Write:

The above version of the ad appeared after editing. The paragraph, "The---
Americans." originally read as follows:

This ad is sponsored by the Middle East Port and Travel Authority, a cooperative agency of the governments of Arab countries and Israel. Funds for this travel authority are raised through bonds purchased by American oil companies, by Arab petrodollars, and by Jewish Americans.
