Dear Henry,

Apparently as part of our divorce agreement, Joyce got custody of Henry Kissinger with the result that I have missed seeing you on your recent Hollywood visits and missed the opportunity of personally offering my awed congratulations on first, the Nobel Peace Prize and second, the Secretary of State. Now if only there were a way we could make you President!

Joyce did graciously let me have the beautiful
Jade Vase that you sent me from your first
trip to Peking on the occasion of my fortieth
birthday so I have two constant reminders of
you, the vase and the fact that there really
isn't a day that either the New York Times or
the Los Angeles Times don't have a picture of
you. I don't know when you get your sleep, but
you are certainly getting more photogenic by
the day. After you have finished in Washington,
we must seriously talk about whether you
wouldn't like to do a television series. I
think you would make a marvelous Private Eye!

I am now settled in a house of my own in Bel
Air - 240 Bentley Circle - with the best Chinese
cook in town and on your next trip out perhaps
you'll have a spare evening when I can arrange
a dinner for you with some non-establishment
Hollywood stars that I think will amuse you - and

for themselves.

aspirations in countries governed by white minorities.

The timing of the trip has been suggested as one reason
for Ford's loss of primaries in several southern states.

"The President decided that this was the right time to go and I think he deserves a great deal of credit for focusing on the substance of foreign policy and not gearing it to the weekly primaries that are taking place," Kissinger said.

He added, "I was sent to Africa to prevent a conflagration in the southern part of Africa and to see whether the Communist influence from the Soviet Union and Cuba could be checked and a hopeful evolution could be started."

Asked if there was any possibility the United States
would send troops should Cuba intervene in Africa with
troops, Kissinger said, "I would think that it is a problem
that can be dealt with without sending troops to Africa."

But he added that "it is the primary objective of our
foreign policy to prevent this from happening, and I am
confident that we can prevent it, or at least I hope very
much that we can prevent it from happening."

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I am gravely disappointed over the defeat of President

At this time, however, as your tenure comes to a close
I wish to take a moment to express my deep appreciation
to you for your service to the country during your years
within the Cabinet.

My very best wishes to you in your future endeavors.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever be
of service to you.

Kind personal regards.

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY

WASHINGTON 20220

MAY 28 1976

Dear Mr. Craig:

Thank you for your letter of May 6, 1976, concerning
your son's school bicentennial project.

I must commend you on your choice of a clever and
suitable way to celebrate, with your son, our nation's
bicentennial, and to make it more meaningful and lasting
for him. I am sure that he will long admire and value
the collection of signatures you have obtained on the two
dollar bills. Further, your expressions of loyalty to
and respect for this country and its laws in your letter
are commendable. Many of the problems we now face in this
bicentennial year would be resolved if more people had a
similar attitude.

I have been advised by the General Counsel of the
Treasury that the signatures on two dollar bills would
not be regarded as defacing or mutilating U.S. currency,
since it is clear from your letter that they were not
affixed with the intent to render the note unfit for re-
issue and did not completely obliterate the note or make
it illegible. I hope that this will enable you and your
son to obtain signatures from the remaining five governors,
and, if you wish, I would be pleased and honored to add
my signature to your collection.

(Message from Prime Minister)

Dear Henry,

Thank you for your letter informing me of your
decision to stay in Washington in the next week.
As it happens I had not heard of this when we spoke
on the telephone last night.

I am disappointed that we shall not have an
opportunity to see you in London, but of course I
fully understand the reasons. I hope we shall see
you here again before long.

(Message from Secretary of State for Foreign and
Commonwealth Affairs)

"Thank you for your letter to say that you would
not be able to come this weekend.

"I quite understand and indeed I myself have had
to cancel a visit to Vienna next week. But I look
forward to seeing you soon and to continuing our
discussions: also to keeping in the closest touch
over the situation in the Middle East."

12 August 1975.

I am going to be in Washington for the IMF/IBRD meetings from the 31st of August to the 3rd of September. If you had as much as five minutes to spare it would give me enormous pleasure to come and pay my respects. If, nearer the time, there is a possibility of this perhaps your people would be good enough to contact the British Ambassador's private office who will know how to get in touch with me.

I trust that our paths will cross

My dear Mr. Secretary:

This is a first brief note which I will supplement
later.

But I can't wait to tell you that your trip was a
total and extremely substantial success in Dallas.
You accomplished the goals that you said were your
goals. Dallas and its business leadership has a
much more substantial appreciation of the problems
of your secretariat and the success and astuteness
with which it is being handled.

I attach several letters which have accumulated in
the last two days which will tell you this further.
Mind you, each of these was an unsolicited letter
from close friends of mine who didn't need to say
anything about the importance of your explanations,
but were moved to do so.

Thank you and congratulations to you for your
brilliant career.

I'm just back, Trammell,

from your delightful luncheon...

It was one of the most delightful and fascinating experiences that I have ever had. It afforded the average layman, such as me, an opportunity to get an insight into world affairs that is rare indeed.

It makes one feel much more comfortable after listening to Dr. Kissinger, to find the man not only with a sack full of great technical knowledge, but also of common sense as well.

Thanks again for including me,

Mr. Trammell Crow

P/S Incidentally, Jim Bingay and our other officers from New York enjoyed and appreciated an opportunity to visit with you while here. I appreciate your making it possible.
