Dear Mr. Tieken:

I was most pleased during my June 6 visit to the Dominican Republic to present President Joaquin Balaguer with a gift of three historical Dominican church bells donated by the Chicago Historical Society.

Presentation of these important relics, originally collected for the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, was a most appropriate manner to mark the joint observance this year of the American Independence Bicentennial and the Dominicans' celebration of the Year of Juan Pablo Duarte, father of their country.

They were very warmly received by President Balaguer and the Dominican people, and I know that they will serve as a symbol of the strong ties of friendship between the United States and the Dominican Republic.

The Society's contribution to our good relations with a sister republic of the hemisphere, thus, has been an important one, and I wish to thank you and the Board of Trustees of the Society for this generous donation.

Best regards,

Mr. Theodore Tieken, President
Chicago Historical Society,
Clark Street at North Avenue,
Chicago, Illinois.

Dear Mr. Secretary :

I take liberty of presenting you with a copy of my book, New York Impressionen, and requesting that you sign and return the enclosed page of sketches I made of you on your last trip to Berlin. I have also inserted a page of Berlin impressions by way of greeting and in gratitude to you as fellow artist of the same generation albeit in a different branch of endeavour.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I would like to invite you as a personal favor to participate in a Timmons and Company post-election dinner and discussion to be held on Thursday, November 18, at the Madison Hotel. The group will be comprised of the senior officers of our clients, who include Standard Oil of Indiana, GENESCO, G. D. Searle Pharmaceuticals, American Petroleum Institute, National Rifle Association, Riviana Foods, just to name a few, and other members of Congress, the Administration and the media. The topics will include foreign policy and other issues.

I feel we'll have a very interesting evening and hope you will be able to share your views with us from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. (We'll have cocktails from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.).

Please let us know if you can accept.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

When I wrote you on August 6, inviting you to
attend our firm's post-election dinner and dis-
cussion on November 18, I recognized the long
lead time would probably make it difficult for
you to commit yourself that much in advance.

We are now, however, nearly two months beyond
that point, and (hopefully) by the time you receive
this Congress will have adjourned. I am therefore
asking you to please take a hard look at your
schedule and let me know if you can possibly have
dinner with us and our clients that evening. It
is now clear we are going to have an excellent
turn-out of key executives, and your presence
would make it a memorable occasion.

Please let us know at your earliest convenience if
you can make it.

Sincerely,

William E. Timmons

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I want to express my personal appreciation for
your willingness to set aside time to participate
in our firm's client seminar on November 18th.
Attached is the tentative program and list of those
who will be in attendance.

You will note you are scheduled for 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. in Executive Chamber III of the Madison Hotel. We hope you also will join the group for dinner at 7:00 p.m., and you are, of course, most welcome to attend any or all of the seminar sessions. The meetings are off-the-record, and we request you make a fifteen minute overview and outlook for foreign policy objectives and then take questions for the remainder of the time segment.

Thanks again.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment and confirmation to your new position. In honor of this great event I knit you the enclosed slippers. I hope they fit and that you will wear them.

In my eighty three years of life I have never known one year of total peace in the whole world. I am hoping that you will be able to bring this miracle about. My hopes and prayers are with you.

Again, congratulations and shalom

Honorable Secretary of State
Washington, D.C. 20520

Dear Mr. Secretary:

With the Agreement safely behind them and the Jewish New
Year upon them, members of the Israeli negotiating team
have been giving a number of interviews, generally of a
year-end, wrap-up nature. Several significant things have
been said in these interviews and we are reporting them in
the normal channel. I thought, however, that you would like
to know that in the course of an interview with the Mapam
newspaper Al Hamishmar on September 5, Foreign Minister
Allon said:

"I regard it as my personal duty to say
that since the establishment of the State of
Israel, there has been no Secretary of State
who has concerned himself so much with
improving Israel's strength and standing
as Dr. Kissinger, from the time he entered
the White House as Director of the National
Security Council and through his term of
office as Secretary of State."

I personally thought you did a great piece of work here, even
though those of us involved had trouble keeping up with you at
times!
