HENRY A. KISSINGER

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

May 25, 1983

Dear Dr. Neuberger:

My first act after accepting the Chairmanship of the United States Organizing Committee for World Cup '86 was to telephone you to the effect that I would conduct myself as a fan seeking to promote soccer in America, not as an adversary. I kept you informed of our deliberations and our plans. I saw to it that no press comments from our side would reflect badly on F.I.F.A. I have given no interviews since the press conference in Stockholm where, as you know, I refused to assess blame. I will not make any further public comments. Nor will I participate in any litigation as some press comments allege.

Still, as an admirer and friend, I must tell you that my colleagues and I were deeply offended by the manner in which F.I.F.A. took its decision. We regret of course that the World Cup was not awarded to the United States. We remain convinced that the facilities of the United States are unique. Moreover, playing the cup in the United States would have provided F.I.F.A. an outstanding opportunity to promote and strengthen the sport in our country; it would have added a vast nation of sports enthusiasts to the world of soccer. Still, we realize that in every competition someone has to win and someone has to lose.

Unfortunately, the way the United States lost is outrageous. When a great country like the United States delivers to F.I.F.A. the word of its President, a Joint Resolution of its Congress and the assurance of all its appropriate local officials, sports representatives and civic and business leaders, it is entitled to a serious consideration. It should not be dismissed in

such a cavalier and disrespectful manner. Our written submission was thorough, complete and professional. While various public statements of F.I.F.A. officials, including by its President, indicated a preference for Mexico--in my view quite inappropriately--we had every reason to expect a fair and respectful hearing when a number of us, at great inconvenience, rearranged our schedules to come to Stockholm. It never occurred to me that our application would be treated in a purely formalistic, if not disdainful, manner and that a decision would be announced within 20 minutes after we completed the only presentation we were permitted to make leaving little doubt that no serious discussion took place.

I am familiar with the argument that the original application of the United States Soccer Federation was incomplete. The major shortcoming of which I am aware was the absence of guarantees, which in a federal country like the United States, takes time. But this was essentially irrelevant to an inspection of our facilities. The committee could always have rejected us if the guarantees had not been forthcoming well before the May 20 decision. As it was we supplied the guarantees in early April, together with a letter by President Reagan, as well as a later telegram of which I am not even sure the Committee was informed.

The argument of having failed to meet the March dealine simply carries no conviction. If our application was doomed in March, why were we invited to Stockholm in May? And why was the Executive Committee only given a chance to vote on the report of a special committee that had refused to visit the United States and Canada, thus preventing any real consideration of our application or Canada's?

I know of several delegates who had been instructed by their governments to vote for a delay to permit the inspection of U.S. and Canadian facilities. That opportunity was never put before them. The press conference announcing the decision was scheduled several days ahead for within minutes of the completion of the *only* presentation the United States and Canada were permitted. Since the announcement had to be translated into four languages it suggests that the outcome was not in doubt regardless of what Canada or the United States put forward.

I have not seen Mexico's 10 page report, nor heard its seven minute presentation. But it is hard to believe that either were as comprehensive as those of the United States or Canada. I love Mexico and wish it well. The question remains that all things being equal--a charitable assumption-- the Cup should have gone to a country which has never had it before. This was especially true since in its history the World Cup has never been repeated in any country. And now it has been awarded twice to the same country in the possible three times the World Cup has been in the Western Hemisphere in the past 16 years.

I have attended many international conferences. Never in my previous experience has a chairman announced a decision without the courtesy of informing the principal parties--that were, after all, friends not adversaries and had gone to great pains to attend.

I told you on the phone that I was hoping for a procedure that was fair and perceived to be fair. That, I am sorry to say, was not the case.

But as I said in my press conference in Stockholm: Soccer is a sport, not a war. And therefore
