Jeder Bürger kann

fr. BONN, 5. Dezember. Der Bundes-
g hat am Mittwoch mit großer Mehr-
it eine Verfassungsänderung beschlos-
sen, die den Rechtsvorschriften

erhielt wurde, die Vermeidung einer Aufwertung der D-Mark und einer Abwertung des Franc, ist in Wirklichkeit noch weniger als eine halbe Maßnahme. Eine neuerliche Bestätigung dafür liebert das jetzt vom Sachverständigenrat vorgelegte Gutachten, das eindeutig für eine Aufwertung der D-Mark plädiert.

Schon jetzt muß der Verstockteste
erkennen, daß die „maskierte Aufwert-
tung“ (so Professor Giersch, einer der
Sachverständigen), wie sie mit den
steuerlichen Maßnahmen vollzogen wor-
den ist, weit mehr Nachteile als Vor-
teile bringt, weil es sich dabei um einen
völlig einseitigen Eingriff handelt. Nur
der Außenhandel wird von diesen
steuerlichen Bestimmungen betroffen,
nicht aber der in der jetzigen Speku-
lationsphase besonders wichtige Kapi-
talverkehr. Um aber auch in diesem Be-
reich die Schotten abzudichten, hat man
in Bonn unter Berufung auf das Außen-
wirtschaftsgesetz nun auch noch eine
Genehmigungspflicht für Einlaß begeh-
rendes Auslandsgeld angeordnet. Die
einmal in Gang gesetzte Lawine des
Dirigismus beginnt also zu rollen, nicht
nur bei uns, auch im Ausland.

zu bewegen. Von den rund zehn Milliar-
den Mark »spekulativer Gelder, die bis
zum Bußtag der Deutschen Bundesbank
zuflossen, sind bisher, also in anderthalb
Wochen, nur 2,5 Milliarden Mark (netto)
wieder abgezogen worden. Das Miß-
trauen ist also noch längst nicht besei-
tigt.

Falsche Preise — und Wechselkurse
sind nichts anderes als Preise für Devi-
sen — können nicht einfach mit staat-
lichen Zwangsmaßnahmen zu richtigen
Preisen gemacht werden. Über kurz
oder lang werden sich die Kräfte des
Marktes durchsetzen. Wechselkurse, die
nicht mehr den tatsächlichen internatio-
nalen Wertvorstellungen entsprechen,
müssen korrigiert werden, wenn die
Weltwirtschaft nicht in Devisenkontrol-
len, Einfuhrkontingente und sonstige
dirigistische Eingriffe zurückfallen soll.
Wäre die Bundesregierung den Vor-
schlägen des Sachverständigenrates ge-
folgt, hätte sie die D-Mark richtig auf-
gewertet, anstatt ihre Zuflucht in einer
maskierten Aufwertung zu suchen, für
uns und das gesamte internationale
Währungsklima und auch für das poli-
tische Klima wäre es besser gewesen.

You were absolutely superb in the explanation
of the Treaty terms.

You folks must have had the patience of
Job to continue for four long years to
negotiate a peace when the odds were so much
against it.

It is wonderful to know that a Treaty will
be signed on Saturday, military operations will
stop, and our Prisoners of War will be brought

Now is the time for positive thinking on

Colonel S. V. Wilson
Special Assistant to Commanding General
US Army JFK Center for Special Warfare
Fort Bragg, North Carolina 28307

Dear Colonel Wilson:

As my Special Assistant, there are a number of questions, problems, and
ill, or undefined areas which I should like you to study.

The one problem which most concerns me is the role and mission of Special
Forces in the present and near future time frame (the next decade). This
boils down to two questions. First, is what the Special Forces doing now
(in Viet Nam or planned to do in our contingency plans) realistically ful-
filling the needs of the United States and the United States Army? Second,
where do Special Forces go from here?

Inherent in the answers to those questions are a multitude of other con-
siderations and problems. Part of your effort should be to identify and
assess those other major considerations which bear on the basic problems --
considerations which could be explored in detail by others. We need bold
and imaginative ideas, be they ones stemming from historically proven concepts
of the past or new approaches dictated by the uniquenesses of future conflict
environments. (i.e., wars of national liberation will continue, but the
U.S. will, in all probability, not commit major ground forces as it has in
Viet Nam.) I am particularly interested in ways to achieve, maintain,
and heighten Army-wide acceptance of Special Forces; ways to perpetuate
the finer qualities we have had and now possess; ways to establish the place
of Special Forces in our United States military philosophy; and ways to
attract officers and men of quality to Special Forces.

Closely connected with this problem is the role, mission and functions of
the so-called OSO officer. How closely allied to the SF officer is the
OSO staff officer? How do they tie in? Where do their roles and functions
converge so that, conceivably, at some point and in some place they might
very well be one and the same man? In pursuit of this, I ask you to monitor

Colonel S. V. Wilson
Special Assistant to CG

18 November 1968

and influence the OSO curriculum development at SWS. It was to assist you in exerting such an influence that I selected you ultimately to become Commandant of the OSO School.

I should like your efforts to result in recommendations for overall improvements in the Special Warfare program, with particular emphasis on the Special Forces, themselves. You are in no way limited to studying and analyzing Special Forces and the OSO man and concept. Rather, these are take off points which admittedly need careful, mature, and detailed study, but which may suggest other areas for exploration and development. I encourage you to delve into these other areas and, while obviously you cannot, by yourself, develop complete staff studies in these areas, you can, at least, isolate the areas for study by my or higher level staffs.

You are encouraged to call upon such officers and men as you consider important to the task. You recognize the wealth of talent and experience we have at Fort Bragg. I know you will exercise the necessary judgment, considering that all persons called upon will be engaged in their regular duties.

While you are directly responsible to me as my Special Assistant, both the DCO and the AC will assist you, as necessary, in the conduct of your studies and may, from time to time, suggest problems or areas for your consideration.

This broadly outlines your responsibilities and your relationships with the Center and School. You have a broad charter in which to critique, to analyze, to think, and to suggest other studies in the field of Special Forces, OSO, and psychological warfare. Upon my return from TDY during the first week of December, I should like for you to discuss with me in some detail your progress, modus operandi, plan of attack, and the form you think the results of your studies should take. I have in mind that you will develop "think" papers for me to pass to higher headquarters, to CSW, to CDC and to SWS in the areas outlined above, papers which will recommend new courses of action or further study of certain problem areas you have isolated. I also ask you to monitor very closely the development of the OSO curriculum.

Dear Henry,

The evening news has just announced your new
appointment by President elect Mr. Nixon. I am delighted
to hear this and want to push this brief note of congratulations
and best wishes for this new assignment off to you.

It must not only be personally very gratifying to
have such a chance in Washington after years of worry and
a feeling of impotence, but also be a real challenge for
public reasons. What can be done? Will the end to an erratic
United States policy in Europe, for example, be in the offing
now? As I glance over to my bookshelf, I see your books and
some reprints of your articles and testimonies. I recall,
how I was happy to have you as a guest at the Diplomatic
Academy. Well, I can wish you only the best, both for yourself
and for the United States of America!

It might interest you that I am presently
on a kind of sebbatical leave. After working for seven years
without a break--not even summer vacations--one needs a
period of reflection, ordering and scholarly production.
I am doing all three things with the generous help of a
Ford Foundation grant. Most likely, I shall be in the States
in January. I suppose you will be very busy. But, if I can
be of any help to you, please let me know. I shall be both
in Boston and Washington.

With best wishes,

Dear Henry!

Thanks for the Telegram.

Belatedly, I wish you a very happy Birthday -- I recall it is the 27th of May.

For all, let me congratulate you on your great success, first in Peking and now in Moscow. It is impossible to foresee which positive directions world history now will take. We actually stand at a turning point, which you and the President, with much courage and world vision, have helped to bring us to. All of us thank you.

Since I must come to the US on the 8th and 9th of June, I suggest that we meet, in order to discuss the subject about which you wrote.

Till that time, I will be with Maurice Strong as "senior consultant" in Stockholm. In a few days the conference on the protection of the environment. Allow me to call you from here. On the evening of June 7 I have a lecture to give in Nurnberg. On the morning of the 8th, I fly from Frankfurt to N.Y.

It would be a great opportunity for me to speak with you briefly.*

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

thank you very much for your letter January 8th, which
only arrived yesterday. Surely I will contact Peter
Ehrlichman. He was not in Beutelsbach today, but I
suppose he will call me back next week to make an
arrangement. I have been in Beutelsbach sometimes with
the Standford students. This is really a very good
institution and I hope I can do something for Peter.

I just returned from a two month trip to South- and
East Africa, where I have seen also some of the American
diplomats. I am writing these days about the very complex
and puzzling situation within this part of the world.

I am also just considering my next trip to Washington.
It is, of course, to early for fixing an appointment.
Nevertheless, could you please let me know, if there is\ already in your note-book some obligation out of town in
the last week of March. I am considering to come to the
States some date between 24th and 30th of March.

I saw a notice in the press about your decision concerning

overcome for you.

HOW TO END THE VIETNAM WAR

Raymond L. Wise
400 88th Street
Surfside, Florida 33154

The surest way to end the war in Vietnam is to end all war.

The first step is to convene a meeting of all 137 nations as a World Order Commission to find a global answer to the global problem of abolishing war.

President John F. Kennedy said "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."

Impossible to end war? Twenty years ago it was impossible to walk on the moon! We need only the desire and co-operation to achieve the desire.

All 137 nations express an official desire to end all war. The trouble is no one is doing anything about it. We must create the lacking co-operation - we, the people!

"World War III has been deferred so far by a "balance of terror." No nuclear war can be won.

But what an immoral way to try to keep order: by threatening the "enemy" to burn alive 100 million of its men, women and children!

The methods of ending war suggested up to now are all impractical. The United Nations cannot end war because the 10 nations with 98%

of the military power in the world will not surrender it to be
at the disposition of the majority of nations.

Similarly the leaders of the 10 powerful nations will not
surrender their power to a world government.

And finally, they will not give it up through universal total
disarmament.

The only way we will have world order is when the 10 nations
with 98% of the power agree to settle their differences by orderly
means and agree to compel every other nation to settle their disputes
in the same manner.

It will happen ultimately - why not now?

It will happen, because there is no longer any profit in war
for any nation, and because there is far more profit in maintaining
an orderly world than in waging war.

There are 2½ billion people living on $100. a year. If, by
co-operation, possible only in a world in order, this is raised to
only $500. a year, a new trillion dollar market is created for world
trade.

Both capitalism and communism would profit.

To get a World Order Commission convened, we must take a

leaf out of the book of big business and lobby for it.

If there are 10 men of real influence and position in the
137 nations, there are 1370 men to influence by lobbying.

We must hire and train men as lobbyists to persuade the
1370 leaders to convene a World Order Commission.

The money needed could be raised by the joint efforts of
the seven large television chains. It could also be obtained in
dozens of other ways.

Difficult, perhaps, but possible.

The benefits to every nation of a world in order are
incalculable. To name a few: reduction in armament cost; more funds
for domestic needs; increase of trade; development of the use of the
atom in industry; joint use of the riches in the oceans; and count-
less more.

Sovereignty can be used for good as well as for evil.

People of the world, unite in a demand for a World Order
Commission to abolish war!

January 24, 1973

Dr. Henry Kissinger
The White House
Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Just a note from a lowly bureaucrat to express, as one individual,
profound appreciation for your part in achieving the cease-fire
announced last night by President Nixon. If my feelings are any
indication, you are the recipient of the appreciation of a relieved
and grateful people.

One can only imagine the degree of adroitness, historical perspective,
sensitivity to those with whom you negotiated, faith, and sheer
perserverance and work that must have combined to make this cease-fire
possible.

While such an event could well stand as the crowning achievement in
any man's life, one can only hope you will go forward to accomplish-
ments of even broader dimensions in the councils of the world.

With every good wish.
