Dear Mr. Governing Mayor:

I want to thank you, and, through you, the people
of Berlin, for the warm reception given Mrs. Kissinger
and me.

My wife and I will long remember the beauty
of Schloss Charlottenburg and our luncheon there
with you and Mrs. Schuetz. And the world-renowned
KPM porcelain plates are truly magnificent. I am
most grateful.

Most important of all, however, I take with me
the feeling that the people of Berlin are resolved to
keep their freedom. Rest assured my government
and I will do all that we can to support your resolve.

Henry A. Kissinger

The Honorable Klaus Schuetz
Governing Mayor of Berlin,

Dear Henry,

For whatever it may be worth, I would
like to express a word of appreciation for your
efforts during the recent past.

I know that at the time
of the December bombings of North Vietnam I
wrote you a decidedly negative note and I by
no means meant the views expressed in that
note. The policy still seems to me to have been
wrong on both intellectual and moral grounds. Nor
do I always agree with everything you do or
say at present (given the nature of the issues here
is total agreement possible?). Nevertheless it seems
to me that you have struggled valiantly and
perceptively with a host of awful dilemmas.

To mention a few matters - I
deeply appreciate the skill and patience which
you have displayed till now in the Middle East.
The international economic cooperation proposal
recently presented to the U.N seems to me most
staleman-like and I hope that you persist on
this matter. Again, while one part of me responds
most warmly to Moynihan's position at the U.N.
I can also perceive the pressures which may make

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the collection of works, including your own, written on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the founding of Straubing. There are many lessons which the American people, who are now celebrating their first 200 years of existence as a nation, can learn from cities and communities like Straubing.

I enjoyed my visit to the Bayrischer Wald in June very much, and the story of Straubing will remain for me an outstanding example of the rich and interesting history of that picturesque region.

Mr. State Secretary, please allow me to send you greetings from your parents from Abano Terme in Italy, where I had the pleasure to see and talk to your highly respected parents almost daily for one week.

The condition of your highly honorable dear parents is excellent and your kind father has a phenomenal personality.

My Dear Mr. Secretary and Mrs. Kissinger

I dare hope that you will not think me too forward for
addressing you this token of my admiration and deep
respect.

Since it is common knowledge that you enjoy an occasional
game of chess, I take the liberty of enclosing, herewith,
this book on the Opening Moves.

You might find it practical since we designed it as to
enable the reader to study the openings without a board
or a set (not always available in a plane or in quarters -
abroad).

Allow me to reiterate the expression of my admiration and with
my very best wishes, I remain
