Dear Henry:

Betty and I were delighted to learn of your appointment as Assistant to President Nixon for National Security Affairs. The way in which the President-elect described your tasks reminded me of the several conversations you and I had (believe it or not, so long ago as to have been the first year of this decade) concerning making the national security and National Security Council apparatus more effective.

Your point at that time, as I recall, was that such revamping was a necessary condition precedent to a more studied approach toward evolving a sensible set of international commitments.

You may recall that North American Rockwell was formed by the merger of North American Aviation and Rockwell-Standard more than a year ago. As you can see, I still am immersed in management and administration. I also travel to Brussels several times a year as vice chairman (chairman next year) of the United States delegation to the NATO Industry Advisory Group formed by NATO to attempt to achieve more joint research and development among member countries. The rest of my time is spent as chairman of the subsidiary company I set up which is training and employing hard core "unemployables" in the Central Los Angeles area.

Laurie, the little girl you met as a Wellesley sophomore, is a graduate of Columbia University Law School and assistant to Federal District Judge Charles Metzner, New York City. Her husband is an attorney with Cravath, Swain & Moore on Wall Street. Jon is now a sophomore at Yale. Time flies!

Henry, let me know if I can assist you in any possible way
in getting set up. I get to Washington quite frequently. Our
interests in assuring sensible accomplishment of our national
purposes overseas have always been identical, to my
observation.

Betty joins me in wishing you well on your new assignment,
not only for your own sake but for that of all of us.

Dear Henry:

As a fellow "Landsman" and old school chum, I want to congratulate you on your great promotion to the high post which Mr. Nixon, has asked you to serve.

You probably don't remember me, so I'll refresh your memory. We lived a few blocks from each other. I lived down the hill on "Hischenstrasse 50", and we walked home together on many occasions from the "Israeli Realschul" in Furth. I vaguely remember your parents and believe you had an older or younger brother.

It really isn't my intent to reminisce about the old days, perhaps we could do that at some later date when you are in the Chicago area. I'm sure you could add to my recollections.

I sincerely want to wish you the very best in your new venture and do hope, when you pass this way, you could take the time out to "Chat", if not over a cup of coffee, then perhaps over a piece of candy.

Good Luck.
