Dear Professor Kissinger:

Thank you very much for your letter of Nov 8.
I understand that you agree with the arrangement
of my return to Germany by air (which may cause
only little extra costs, e. g. for the tranport
of my books). I regret very much, however, that
I should not be able to come to Cambridge before
April 18, 1964. This would give us 15-16 days with
you. I do not know in which way you plan to discuss
the papers, but don't you think that could be done
within such a period? - provided the other participant
could be present at the same time.

Please do understand that for the reasons I wrote
you in my last letter I ask you not to write to
the director of the Center. He has been very ent-
gaged in kommend in the difficult question of my special
period. A second, quite practical reason is my
family, with two children at school here. I could
hardly leave my wife with the job of packing, final
house-care and pack-travelling. On the other hand, it
seems difficult to stay more than two weeks in a
Cambridge hotel or pension with the whole family.
For all these reasons, I should like to propose the
period between April 18 and May 3 (a Sunday).

Also, I would be grateful for some further suggestion
as to the scope and length of my paper and the ap-
proximate date you should have it.

With kind regards - and much regret for causing
you some trouble

Dear Professor Bracher:

Thank you for your letter of October 29th.

As you know, we are very eager to have you join
the group working on Germany. It seems to me, however,
that the time between April 18th and April 25th really is
too short. I therefore wonder whether you would not consider
extending your stay, as you suggested, to May 4th by returning
to Germany by air.

It also seems to me that it would be extremely helpful
if you could free yourself from Stanford a week early, say
April 11th. I can understand your natural reluctance to ask
for another special consideration from the Center for Advanced
Study. Therefore, if you wish, we will be glad to approach
the director of the Center on your behalf.

In order to get the maximum advantage from your stay in
April, it would be extremely important to have at least a rough
draft of your paper before you arrive here so that we can
circulate it to the other participants.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

Your book on France impresses me very much. Thank you so much for sending it and give my compliments to Stanley Hoffmann; his contribution seems particularly interesting and will provoke more helpful discussion on the France-Europe problem we are confronted with. I am very glad to join the group you selected for a similar project on Germany.

As I wrote you in my last letter, the only problem is how we could arrange my stay at Cambridge in April. The fellowship at the Stanford Center is for one year. I have a special arrangement which allows me to return to Germany for the summer term (beginning May, 1964). For this reason, it would be very difficult if not impossible for me to leave Stanford before April 18. My wife and two children are with me, and we have reservations for the boat from New York on April 25/26. We could of course plan to take the airplane which would give us 5 - 6 more days in your Center. The period would then be from April 18 to May 4, approximately. Finally, there is the problem of where to live in Cambridge with the family.

I am sorry I have to bother you with all this. Please let me know what you think about it. And thank you again.
