My dear Mr. Secretary:

On behalf of the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh, I would like to formally acknowledge our appreciation to you for visiting Pittsburgh last week and using our City as the platform for a most significant economically oriented foreign policy address and related meetings with local leaders and the press.

Local response to your visit and meetings has been most enthusiastic, without exception! The informal question period was a particular hit with those attending the dinner.

I have just read today's *Sunday New York Times* lead editorial entitled, "The Rambouillet Spirit" which refers to your Pittsburgh speech and its most notable content. I fervently hope that your meetings this weekend do indeed set the stage for continued economic dialogue and needed decisions by the leaders of the industrial powers of the West.

Your stay in Pittsburgh was very much enjoyed personally by Louise and myself. It was a great pleasure to get to know you better. And, we were all delighted that Mrs. Kissinger could join you.

Again, my thanks and very best wishes.

Dear Mr. Weaver:

I want you to know how much I appreciated
your hospitality during my visit to Pittsburgh.
Thank you for providing such an excellent
forum and receptive audience. I very much
enjoyed meeting and talking with the many
distinguished members of the World Affairs
Council and other sponsoring organizations.

I am most pleased by your gift --
Stephen Lorant's "Pittsburgh" -- which will
always be a remembrance of my visit.

Nancy joins me in sending sincere thanks
and best wishes to you and Mrs. Weaver. In
our view the visit was a most successful and
memorable one.

Mr. Charles H. Weaver,
President,
World Affairs Council,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Dear Henry,

just we heard the news over the radio
and we congratulate you and hurry to send
you all our best wishes.

The other day, on the phone, you told
me something about near vacations, but
you didn't say anything about coming
events like this : would you kindly refer
sincerest wishes to Mrs. Kissinger please,
whome - not recalling us, I am sure - we
had the very pleasure to meet in your com-
pany during our stay at Stephen Graubard's
in Paris, August 1969.

All the best wishes and kindest regards,
naturally and especially from Ille, too.
And many thanks for your thoughtfullness,
to ring me up imidst the turmoil of your
short stay over here, last month. We would
wish back the good and quiet talks of the
old days.

Sinceriest

Dear Henry,

probably it would be wiser to write any other
time than to line in for birthday congratula-
tions. In facht, however, we want to congratulate
you and regularly, too, we had to assume to
exist more important things than our letters to
keep you busy. (Regarding to anyone in charge to
decide upon, I wonder, if it was really a such
good idea to try my 'out-of-order' English, if wri-
ting this letter in German, as well, could find me
nowhere at all.) Please don't mind, will you. And,
please, do take all the heartiest wishes from us
and warmest regards, especially, from Ille. We ap-
preciated very very much to see you and to
speak with you during your last stay over here
and to find you to be the same, as ever before.

News are not so amusing, lately. Being an old hand I can't help but feeling disgusted as well. We do hope you managed to grow a thicker skin through all those years. On the other hand we can't help but like the idea of looking forward to times, we could get a chance again for seeing another as in old times, privately, peacefully and absolutely relaxed. Probably, however, we will find to be involved for finding back to real privacy in our days. Good luck, however, anyway.

Sincerely yours

United States Senate

Dear Henry:

Many thanks for your letter, which gave me great pleasure, all the more since I have always kept a very living memory of our meetings but would not have been surprised if that had not been the case with you, our last conversation dating from 1968. It is true that newspapers and radio would have recalled your existence to my mind; but I did not need that kind of mnemonic help. The reason why I did not write to you was simply that an exchange of letters becomes somewhat difficult if every word coming from one of the correspondents will be regarded by many people as the equivalent of an act.

I am writing this in a small place in the Swiss Alps where we are recovering from the heat of Nice - a sufficient excuse, I hope, for a bad typewriter, bad paper, and my own bad typing. But all three are not bad enough to prevent me from giving you some news.

October '74 I have gone into retirement, with a decent pension and without any obligations, a man doubly free. And since my health, inspite of some incidents, allows me to follow my old ways, I am reading a lot and occasionally writing something, again enjoying complete freedom, not having to ask myself if what I want to do would be interesting or useful for the students. My contacts with other people similarly interested have not suffered for this reason. I have published two volumes of collected articles and lectures and am at present trying to put into shape a thing I wrote years ago, without being sure to bring it off and without worrying about that. Some papers have appeared in different reviews, DAEDALUS being one among them; and I had to go through my old books before they came out in new editions. But mentioning Steve's name just reminds me that you probably have got, and always can get, from him more complete and more objective news about me than I feel able to give you.

May I offer you and your wife my warmest wishes and congratulations a bit belatedly? I had heard from Steve, not to mention the papers, about the wedding, but only after the event, so that I would have been late anyhow. My wishes are not less sincere for having had to wait. They would have had to do that far less if I had not chosen for my visit to Washington precisely the day of Nixon's retreat; and I had been looking very much forward to meeting you and even perhaps seeing you.

I am sure a more propicious day will come, and soon, I hope. Until then I am sending you my warmest wishes for your personal life and for the success of your work.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

This is just a note to tell you how very much I enjoyed seeing you and Mrs. Kissinger at the Welcome Ceremony held yesterday for the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

The welcome ceremony was lovely, as usual, and the visit of the Royal Couple is a tribute to your very dedicated and distinguished work as Secretary of State.

Both you and Mrs. Kissinger looked well and I hope that we will have the opportunity to see each other again before too long.

My dear Dr. Kissinger:

I was very pleased to hear from your Special Assistant, Mr. Jock Cobey, that you chose the beginning of March for the presentation of the Award. I was delighted with your decision. We shall have to sit down together to decide the venue and the form it should take. This can only be done between the two of us. I would gladly come to Washington, but unfortunately, my state of health does not permit me. If and when you are in New York in the next few weeks, I would very much like to meet with you at your convenience.

I think I owe you an explanation for my letter of October 29th. I was in a particularly desperate mood on that day, and everything seemed to crumble about me. I feared that I was nearing the end of my day. As I was lying in bed, the velvet box containing your Award was staring me in the face, and I was overtaken by a terrible anxiety that you and Nancy would never see it; that it would be forgotten together with me. As a result of this fear, I wrote the letter and despatched it to you by hand together with the contents of the box. This gave me the assurance that at least it will be in your possession whatever may happen to me.

Like many crises in my life before, I survived this one of October 29th too, and my natural mood of optimism has returned. I am looking forward with great anticipation to our meeting soon and settling everything with finality for early March.

In my letter of October 29th, I promised to send you in a few days the speech that I had prepared for delivery for

ADDRESS BY MR. MEYER W. WEISGAL, CHANCELLOR, WEIZMANN INSTITUTE
OF SCIENCE, INTENDED FOR DELIVERY AT THE PRESENTATION OF THE
HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE TO DR. HENRY A. KISSINGER.

Many events have occurred in our troubled world since
the day when our Academic Council and all other relevant bodies
of the Weizmann Institute decided unanimously to confer the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy Honoris Causa on Dr. Henry A. Kissinger.

Dr. Kissinger was inextricably involved in all these events;
not only on our behalf in the Middle East, but in Russia, China,
Japan and in other countries, East, West, North and South. All
the world's troubles were his daily bread. Whenever we set a date
in Rehovot, he was either in China or in Moscow, or in Tokyo --
never in the place where he really wanted to be. If the presentation
was delayed so long, it was neither his fault nor ours.

I finally determined that our own Washington, D. C. was the
most peaceful place on earth, symbolically speaking, and that sooner
or later, we might catch a glimpse of Dr. Kissinger on his own turf
and present him with our award, which had been weighing heavily on
my conscience both literally and figuratively. This, in brief,
explains why we are here tonight.

History and truth impel me to record the fact that during
this long period of delay there occurred inevitable friction between
Dr. Kissinger's concept of dealing with our "friendly" neighbors and
the leaders of Israel. At the height of one of these crises, echoes
of which even penetrated the corridors of our learned institutions
and affected some of our own scientific savants, I journeyed to Jerusalem
