To Whom It May Concern:

Matthew Robida was an integral part of my research staff in Washington from February 1999 until May 2000. His primary function was to produce written reports on international political and economic developments and to provide country briefings. He also wrote analytical papers that focussed attention on world events he deemed to be of interest to me and my senior staff. Although his particular expertise lay in Latin America, Matt prepared very helpful research on almost any topic or region, from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Middle East. I particularly recall one paper he did on the UK/EMU debate that was most impressive.

On behalf of Kissinger Associates, Matt from time to time attended important conferences, speeches and meetings of local think tanks, after which he provided summaries of information relevant to the firm. The files he maintained of news articles, speeches and academic papers were a very useful resource on many occasions.

Matt left my employ in good standing to accept a position with a larger firm which provided greater opportunity for advancement. He did an excellent job while at Kissinger Associates and would be rehired without hesitation.

Suzanne,

Here is basically what I did for HAK:

* provided information support in order to assist him, Bremer and others with their client relations and other activities, such as trips abroad, meetings with foreign leaders, etc. This support usually took the form of written, 1 to 3 page briefings focusing on the political and economic developments within a specific country. My own personal expertise lies in Latin America—most of the reports for him on this region, including Mercosur, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela, were my best. However, I was able to do work on almost any topic or region from Africa to the Middle/Far East to Europe. And according to Bremer, one particular paper I did on the UK and the EMU debate was especially well received by HAK. I also wrote analytical papers at my discretion that brought attention to international events I thought would be of interest to HAK, Bremer and others.

* attended some conferences, speeches and meetings of the local think tanks and departments on the company's behalf, later providing detailed summaries to Bremer for HAK of what was said, what was interesting, what was relevant to KAI, etc.

* kept files together of news articles, speeches, and academic papers on just about every country or important topic so that when you all in NY would call and ask if I knew of it or how to get it for HAK the said article was available immediately.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

This letter is simply to thank you for everything you have contributed to our wonderful country! I am currently reading, "Years of Renewal," and I appreciate your wit, your wisdom, and most of all, your efforts in making this world a better place for all of us.

As I watch the world events taking place today, I can sense a lack of quality in our leadership in comparison with times past. I don't know what exactly is missing, but I can't look at our current leaders with the same respect as I have those in the past. Our compassion for others and our morality as a nation seem to be on a downward slide. I regret that immensely.

Your efforts in the Mid-East during the 1970's were incredible, and the results were a direct reflection of your presence during that time. I have often wondered how you perceive the current events and crises in the Mid-East today. Your wisdom in dealing with all sides, even when the tension was at its greatest, has always amazed me!

Dr. Kissinger, during your years as Secretary of State, you became such a role model to all of us. You are still that role model today. Thank you so much for your integrity and honesty. You make our world a better place to live!

Best wishes to you always!

There will be a memorial service for Rodman C. Rockefeller at 2:30 pm on 1 June, at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church at 55th.

A Trustee for All Seasons
Rodman C. Rockefeller

24 April 1932 - 14 May 2000

MAY 2 3 2000

Rod Rockefeller had a big impact on my first year as president. As I looked at my calendar last night, I discovered that we were in each other's company almost every week. There was much I had to learn, and he was an enthusiastic and willing teacher. He believed deeply in what the Institute was doing and told me many times that IIE had become his principal philanthropic activity.

We argued a lot. Rod had strong views about the future of educational exchange programs, the role of governmental sponsorship, the relationship between the Fulbright Program and American foreign policy, and how to do fund-raising. He pushed David and me on all fronts; when he could make no headway with one of us, we often found that he managed to call the other in order to try again.

When we needed Rod to make a case for us -- with new donors or to help defend our bid to retain the administration of the Fulbright Scholars Program as part of the competition conducted by USIA -- he was always ready to do so. On one such outing, Rod and David set an IIE record for the longest wait (8 hours, if I recall correctly) in the terminal at Washington National Airport to learn that the shuttle was not going to fly.

The day before Rod went into the hospital for his surgery, he was having lunch at IIE and helping to welcome a new trustee from Japan. As you can imagine, we all very much wanted him back.

As part of our relationship, we exchanged many drafts of the IIE vision statement and other texts we were both trying to write about the role that education plays in shaping the world and America's place in it. My plan was to have Rod open a convocation this coming fall to launch the drive to augment the Fulbright Legacy Fund. It would have been the perfect occasion for Rod to make his (and our) case to a wider audience. He no doubt would have begun his remarks with thoughts outlined below. He labeled them "draft." They are better than that. Rod always spoke with passion, insight, and in whole sentences. I will miss him greatly.

*The modern world is based on knowledge and progress, and society will more and more depend on education, training and the daily use of knowledge.*

*Knowledge is global in nature and its dissemination is increasingly global, as most dramatically illustrated by the explosive growth of the Internet. National boundaries are increasingly irrelevant in the spreading or use of knowledge and its products.*

*Culture, on the other hand, is very much influenced by experience, which is often national in scope and cultural assumptions will continue to play a major role in the delivery, the acceptance and the effective utilization of knowledge. The successful crossing of cultural borders in the dissemination of knowledge has proven to be an effective means of gaining that knowledge for many people.*

*The experience of the United States, in successfully promoting cross-border educational exchange, has been to demonstrate that there is broad appeal among educated potential leaders for both U.S. education and U.S. cultural values. These in turn have helped prepare cultural, political and economic leadership wherever the exchange has been effective. It is the hope of many that these values, disseminated to many parts of the world, can continue to have a beneficial impact in the 21st century.*

*In the forthcoming century -*

Education, in the broadest definition of the term, will be of even greater necessity for the
prosperity of society, and educated leaders will be even more essential to the peaceful
conduct of human affairs;

The demand for and the dissemination of education will be more truly global as travel,
communication and modern technology cross national and cultural borders more
completely.

IIE, as the premier private promoter of training, leadership development and educational
exchange will broaden its efforts on a global basis. It will work with governments,
corporations and private donors to substantially expand existing services and to create
new programs to meet growing demand. More and more, it will serve as a leading
convener of those who will build the educational institutions of the world.

Via con Dios, Rod.

"Time wasn't ripe for Mideast summit"

United Press International

Washington, July 31, 2000

[Peter W. Rodman, a former White House and State Department official, is Director of National Security Programs at The Nixon Center in Washington.]

WASHINGTON, July 31 -- As the dust settles from the July Camp David summit which brought together President Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and Palestinian Authority President Yasir Arafat, one has a definite sense of *déjà vu*.

Camp David is coming more and more to resemble the aborted U.S.-Soviet summit at Reykjavik, Iceland between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in October 1986. While Reykjavik dealt with strategic arms control and Camp David with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the two gatherings had much in common: They were both ill-conceived, ill-prepared, high-stakes diplomatic gambles that dramatically failed of their objectives and left negotiations in a state of turmoil.

It is hard to fathom what was in American officials' minds when they convened the Camp David meeting. Did they really imagine that the enormously difficult issues of a final settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict were ready to be resolved in one week? The two sides' positions on the toughest issues were -- and remain, after Camp David-- totally irreconcilable.

On the status of Jerusalem, for example, an issue of extraordinary historical, political, and emotional sensitivity for both Jews and Muslims (as well as Christians),

NIXON CENTER

003

both sides seem irrevocably committed to having sovereignty over the Old City and Holy
Places. If there is some way to fudge this (say, by divorcing formal legal sovereignty
from administrative control), the two sides are very far from agreeing on it. Did Mr.
Clinton think one side or the other was faking for the past 50 years?

Similarly, the Palestinian refugees' claim to a 'right of return' to Palestine goes to the heart of Israel's legitimacy, because it is premised on a kind of Israeli original sin going back to when the nation was born in 1948. And recognition of this "right of return" would call into question Israel's survival as a Jewish state if the refugees flooded back in without limit. On this issue, too, there are ideas for compromise floating around (such as acknowledging the Palestinians' grievance in some sense but putting limits on their actual return); again, the only problem is that the two sides are very far away from agreeing.

And then there are the important remaining disagreements on other issues like
final borders, water rights, security provisions, and the terms of Palestinian sovereignty.

Even before Camp David, it was clear all these issues weren't ready for final
agreement. Even now, they look like they will need a lot of time to ripen.

Richard Nixon used to say that summit meetings had to be very well prepared. He didn't mean just thick briefing books, but political preparation: When the prestige of the American President and of other countries' top leaders is so heavily and dramatically committed, the price of failure is huge. Therefore it is unwise to call a summit unless there is a prior understanding on the likely outcomes or if there is good reason to think the remaining differences are bridgeable. No responsible President gambles that his personal charm or persuasiveness alone will be enough to solve impossible problems.

Clinton's reach far exceeded his grasp. Last September 13, urged on by American diplomats, Barak and Arafat set a deadline of one year for a final peace agreement. This deadline was so unrealistic as to be absurd. Clinton was reported to be eager to finish the negotiation this year as part of his "legacy."

NIXON CENTER

If so, this is an extremely poor reason to speed up the diplomacy so artificially. Of course, if a final peace could be achieved, the political benefits to Al Gore and Mrs. Clinton could not be a million miles from his mind; this motive is even less worthy of respect.

The United States does not turn into a pumpkin next January 20. There have been several changes of administration since the modern Arab-Israeli diplomacy began in the early 1970s, including changes of party. Yet U.S. Mideast policy has been a notable demonstration of bipartisan continuity. The assumption that it absolutely must be finished now is an insult to Vice President Gore, in fact, almost as much as to Governor Bush.

The aftermath of the Camp David failure is fraught with danger. Prime Minister Barak seems to have taken Israeli negotiating flexibility far beyond the Israeli national consensus, and he came home to a political uproar. Passionate opposition is building to his apparent abandonment of settlements and of control over the Jordan Valley and to his willingness to consider Palestinian control in parts of Jerusalem.

Arafat, meanwhile, is adamantly resisting concessions and doing little to get his people used to the idea that compromise will be necessary. The impasse could easily deteriorate into renewed violence before the diplomatic pieces can be put back together. Raising the stakes to the summit level prematurely will have contributed to this.

There is, to be sure, a more hopeful scenario. Several months after Reykjavik, after the dust settled, U.S-Soviet arms control talks got back on track. To a great extent they picked up from where Reykjavik left off and it turned out that the hothouse discussions at Reykjavik had actually advanced matters. This might turn out to be Camp David's ultimate significance as well. We shall see. In any case, we are in for a very rough period of weeks and perhaps months before we get there.

Dear Mr. Minister:

Now that I am home, I would like to thank you once again
for our meeting while I was in Buenos Aires. You were most
gracious and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to spend
time with you.

It was good of you to share your perspective on both the
politics and the economics of Argentina. I thoroughly enjoyed our
discussion and do hope we will have a chance to continue our
exchange again soon.

Please let me know when you have plans to come to New
York, as I would look forward to our getting together. Meanwhile,
I send you my warmest good wishes.

Dear Dr. Henry Kissinger

The Royal Swedish Academy of Music hereby has the great honor to invite Dr. Henry Kissinger to the Award Ceremony of the Polar Music Prize May 15th 2000 in Stockholm. The High Patron of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, HIS MAJESTY THE KING CARL XVI GUSTAF, look forward to the attendance of Dr. Kissinger and his participation in presenting the Prize to Maestro Isaac Stern.

The Polar Music Prize 2000 is awarded to Maestro Isaac Stern and Bob Dylan at a ceremony in the concert venue Berwald Hall in Stockholm. The prizes are handed over by His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf.

The Polar Music Prize is a great donation to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music given by the late Stikkan Anderson 1989. The Prize is "awarded for significant achievements in music and/or music activities, or for achievements which are found to be of great potential importance for music or musical activities, and it shall be referable to all fields within or closely connected with music".

In 1992 the first prize were awarded and every year since then two prizes have been given – one to an artist or composer in the classical music and one to a popular music artist.

We would be grateful if a confirmation of the attendance of Dr. Kissinger could be given as soon as possible.

Gilman to Dr. Kissinger in June of this year. Would you be kind enough to read the letter written by Paul, as I would like to discuss a couple of points with you.

Also, we will deliver to your office the original of the letter and a commemorative photograph for Dr. Kissinger and one for his files.

It was a pleasure to speak with you again, and I will give you a call tomorrow.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Enclosed please find a photograph commemorating the recent visit to your office by the Unity Party delegation including Boris Gryzlov, Vladislav Resnick, and Mikhail Margelov accompanied by Len Blavatnik and myself of Access Industries, Inc. In subsequent conversations, meeting with you was for them in many ways the highlight of an extraordinary visit to the United States in general and to the Republican National Convention in particular. Len and I greatly appreciate your being able to meet with them.

I would now like to bring up two items we have touched upon already, as well as three more new items for your consideration.

1. On behalf of Len Blavatnik, President of Access Industries, let me confirm the offer we made to you during that meeting to provide any assistance you may require for your proposed mid-November trip to Russia. We can help facilitate meetings with Boris Gryzlov (Unity Party Chairman) and other high level Russian leaders. To ensure the smoothest logistical support, the considerable resources of our office in Moscow will be available to you.

2. Congressman Gilman's office wrote you in June about the intent of the Tyumen Oil Company ("TNK") to form an internationally prominent Advisory Board. Representatives of both the public and private sectors will be included. You and I discussed the matter briefly at Congressman Gilman's luncheon, and you expressed an interest in learning more about what such an involvement would entail. Perhaps the best way to advance this discussion is to have Simon Kukes, President and CEO of TNK, visit you at your office in New York. Please let me know when such a meeting might be most convenient to you. I will be sending you shortly a written presentation about TNK.

3. TNK is to date the largest and most successful privatization and development effort of Access Industries together with its Russian joint venture partner, RENOVA. Access and RENOVA have enjoyed a remarkably successful track record in privatizing and developing businesses in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. October 5 of this year will mark the 10th anniversary of this unique enterprise. The significance of this event is such that, if your schedule would permit a one-day visit to Moscow, Access would be honored to sponsor your trip and speaking honorarium for this occasion. This event will be noteworthy for the exceptional mixture of high level private and public sector representatives who will be in attendance. Around this date, we could also potentially arrange a visit with President Putin. Please let us know if this would be at all possible: Len Blavatnik and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this possibility with you any time next week.

4. It is my present understanding that, during President Putin's stay in New York for the Millennium General Assembly, he will be attending a Foreign Policy Association event in his honor between September 6th and 8th. Mr. Kukes of TNK is the first Russian executive serving as Advisor to the Foreign Policy Association and will be introducing President Putin at this event. We have the honor of inviting you to attend as our guest, if it is of interest to you.

5. Former President Iliescu is also likely to be elected again as the next President of Romania this November. He will be in New York and Washington during the first half of September. His representatives have asked whether he could meet with you. Do you have any interest in so doing?

I will contact your office shortly to discuss these topics.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

Paul Rodzianko, a friend and senior advisor to the president of the Tyumen Oil Company ("TNK"), contacted me regarding the formation of TNK's advisory board. The board will consist of prominent statesmen and business leaders with an international reputation who possess the vision and commitment to guide TNK into the international business community. Given your background coupled with your keen knowledge and business acumen, I thought that you would be interested this opportunity.

TNK is an exceptional success story and an inspiration to all companies in emerging markets. Over the past three years, under the stewardship of its President and CEO, Mr. Simon Kukes, internationally recognized as one of the ten best CEO's in Europe; TNK's American and Russian owners turned the company around. Since taking control of the company in 1998, Mr. Kukes cut the production costs from 12 dollars to 4 dollars per barrel, in addition to eliminating 19,000 jobs from a work force of 52,000, using business skills that he honed and developed while working in key management positions in the oil industry in the United States. Over the past six months, TNK has obtained 1.2 billion dollars in financing commitments, in addition to obtaining an additional 500 million dollars from the U.S. Export and Import Bank. Mr. Kukes attributes this commitment of capital to the fact that "[TNK is] by far the most westernized company in Russia." TNK's American partners include such global powerhouses as Texaco, Halliburton, ABB and Coca Cola.

TNK is Russia's third-largest oil company, and its shareholders are committed to the principles of transparency, accountability, fair play and maximizing shareholder value, which sets it apart from other entities in the region. Please let me know if a position on TNK's Advisory Board is something that you are interested in, or if I may provide you with any additional information.

Dr. Kissinger,

FEB 16 2000

I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed reading the three volumes of your memoirs. Thank you for the opportunity to further my understanding of the numerous facets of U.S. foreign policy that shaped and still have implications on the world today.

As a child, I remember certain aspects of the fall of Saigon, Nixon's Presidency (at the playground), I remember chanting "Nixon, Nixon is our man, throw McGovern in The hashcan" without understanding why), and the Middle-East Crisis. And, as a teenager, I worried about a possible Russian nuclear attack. But the how and why of these events puzzled me.

In College, at GMI Engineering & Management Institute in Flint, MI, I began to get a greater understanding and appreciation of U.S. Foreign & domestic policy through a class taught by Bruce J. Boss - 20th Century Diplomatic Crisis. He, to this day, is one of the most intelligent & enlightening people I have ever met. I only wish that I would have had the opportunity to attend one of your lectures or classes. That would have completed The Picture.

Now, through your memoirs, you have done that. You have shown me the how and why of the way things are. Thank you. I was particularly interested in your stories on dealing with the Soviet Union. Just fascinating. I, one day soon, hope to visit Moscow, something that I feared and thought I would never be possible years ago. Thank you for making the world a better place.

Dear Puchy:

First of all, I want to thank you for your expressions of concern and hope regarding my recent heart attack. I am glad to be home and am recovering well, although not fast enough to suit me.

But the real reason for this delayed note is to thank you and Susan for your extraordinarily thoughtful and generous hospitality during my visit to Buenos Aires. I can't believe you have extended yourself so unstintingly twice in one year and really don't know how I could adequately reciprocate. Once again, you managed to get together everyone I should see and made it all work with such great style. What's more, you guaranteed that I enjoyed it enormously, as well. One of life's great rewards has been to have you as a friend.

Please let Nancy and me know when you are coming to New York. It might be a while before I get back to Argentina and we would love to see you both.

## Behind the Scene

With the advent of the 21st Century, our mankind, in its pursuit of health, peace and prosperity, is facing new opportunities, ideas, challenges and expectations. People and governments all over the world are exploring and seeking opportunities, in the new millennium, to cooperate and develop in political, economic, public health, and high-tech arenas so as to reach the common goal of world peace.

Since its birth in 1945, the United Nations has been shouldering the great responsibilities of solving various problems facing mankind. In the process, it has made the world a better and more peaceful place to live in. The United Nations has become the world's true center in promoting physical and mental health, cultural exchange, friendship, mutual-assistance, development and cooperation, eradication of poverty, and respect for human rights, thus helping usher the world into greater peace, prosperity and happiness.

At the turn-of-the-Millennium moment, the United Nations, as the only global organization of its kind, has again provided an opportunity for the world leaders to co-examine the challenges ahead of us. On September 6th through September 8, 2000, the Millennium Summit of Heads of State and Government will be held at the United Nations in New York. This summit will not be a mere celebration event. It will be a grand historical gathering whereby heads of state meet and discuss the blueprint to benefit the future of mankind. Like a breeze in the spring, this summit will give a new impetus and hope to international cooperation and unity sought by peace-loving people throughout the world. History will prove that this Conference will turn out to be the single-most important event of this year and, for that matter, the entire 21st century.

We all know only too well what the United Nation has accomplished in its peacekeeping and humanitarian aid missions. However, much less known are many other aspects of UN's contributions, which nonetheless have a great impact on our daily lives. To promote a better understanding of the significance of the Millennium Summit meeting as well as the importance of the United Nations in the 21st century, we have set up a Committee of North American Societies Celebrating Millennium Summit of Heads of State and Government. Close to 100 organizations and corporations have already signed up to support and participate in our activities. More are expected to join us later.

On the evening of September 9, we are scheduled to have a grand performance at the Madison Square Garden to express our deep appreciation of the noble course taken by the United Nations and the Millennium Summit meeting. We would like to use this opportunity to extend our warm welcome to the heads of state from all over the world. Close to 100 performers (including many famous artists from different parts of the globe) will participate in this grand cultural event where the East meets the West and displays a true exchange of cultures and arts. People of different nationalities, cultural and religious backgrounds will, under the initiatives of the United Nations, cooperate with each other for the common cause of health, peace and prosperity. A true mutual understanding and respect at the cultural level will emerge, leading to the goal of harmony, prosperity, and world peace.

RE: Romanian request

Previously you told us to regret a meeting with President of the
Romanian Senate, Mr. Petre Roman, who was scheduled to be in NY and
DC from Fri., Jan. 21-Sun., Jan. 30.

Since then, on Dec. 22, Mr. Roman was appointed Deputy Prime

reinstating their request for a meeting, asking specifically about
Fri., Jan. 28 or Sat., Jan. 29.

If you wanted to, you could see him on Fri., Jan. 28 at 12:00pm.
(You have an 11:00am interview for Vivement Dimanche and then lunch
is free.)

Still no interest ____

Offer him a meeting at 12:00pm on Fri., Jan. 28

Then we had to regret -

Dear Ms. Nelson, HAK

May I remind you of our conversation over the telephone on Wednesday.

I requested that Dr. Kissinger might sign an inscription form, which I would place in the latest volume of his memoirs, as a present for Alexander Rose, the National Post's editorial writer on foreign affairs. Dr. Kissinger recently met Mr. Rose who interviewed him during a visit to Toronto. Dr. Kissinger may also recall that Conrad Black showed him the special Post supplement on Kosovo that was edited and largely written by Mr. Rose. Mr. Rose's birthday is coming up, and his colleagues intend to give him a copy of Dr. Kissinger's memoirs.

You thought that this would be possible, and asked me to confirm my request by fax. This I now do. If you would like any further information, you can get me on 416-442-2118 or on my cell-phone at 917-488-7928. I look forward to hearing from you, and I am grateful for your kindness and, of course, for Dr. Kissinger's.

Dear Alan:

I am delighted to hear that the Foundation for the State Bar of California will be honoring you at a dinner later this month. It will be a well-deserved recognition of your outstanding contributions to the legal profession and to the inspiration you provide to law students and young attorneys through the highest standards of excellence and integrity you have consistently set.

It is in a different context from that of the law, however, that I have known and admired you: that of the grand sport of soccer. We were brought together by World Cup USA 1994, of which you were Chairman and I was pleased to serve as Honorary Chairman of the Organizing Committee. You accomplished what many thought would be impossible in a country where soccer has never had the following of the "big three": the most successful World Cup ever. Attendance records were exceeded, worldwide television viewership topped all projections and sufficient revenue was generated to cover not only the expenses of the Games, but to provide a significant amount to the US Soccer Federation to support programs furthering the sport in America. No one knows better than I how much the tremendous success of the 1994 World Cup was due to the years of dedicated work you gave to it, your vision and your extraordinary leadership.

Therefore, as one of your greatest fans, let me offer my congratulations and warmest good wishes as you receive this tribute from the California Bar.

Dear Henry:

I'd like to invite you to submit a commentary to be used in a new exhibition at the Yeshiva University Museum. When the museum moves into its new location on June 25 at the Center for Jewish History, one of its new exhibitions will be called "Major Intersections." The main-floor gallery exhibit will feature treasures from the collections of each of the organizations housed at the Center for Jewish History.

Alongside the traditional explanations of each item, the Museum would like to include personal individual commentaries. The role of the commentators will be to give brief personal thoughts on the various artifacts on display. The commentaries may be personal perspectives on the particular item, reminiscences inspired by the item, or creative responses. They can be in a written, video or audio format.

The Museum would be honored if you would consider participating in this project. I have attached a list of exhibit items available for your commentary. Should you express an interest in a particular item, the Museum can provide a kit with a complete description, an image and suggestions for commentary.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking to you soon.
