Dr. Henry A. Kissinger,
Assistant to the President of the United States
on National Security Affairs,
Chicago, Illinois.

My dear Dr. Kissinger:

I had occasion to talk last night with a mutual friend, -- Prof. Nadav Safran. When I told him I would be attending this luncheon to hear your address, he re-iterated the regard, praise and esteem which he, and I, bear you.

Thus, my long-standing desire to meet you personally was yet strengthened. This is all the more so as I have but recently returned from an extended Middle East trip.

Therefore, if it were possible at this occasion, when you and I are in the same room, to shake hands with you and, thus, meet you face-to-face, -- I should deem it a high privilege.

Dear Mr. Hicks:

Regardless of Dr. Kissinger's "yes" or "no" with regard to our invitation, I would like to thank you very sincerely for your efforts in this connection.

Coming back to our last telephone conversation and my request to Dr. Kissinger to receive an exiled Polish leader, Dr. Tadeusz Bielecki, I submit herewith some information about the matter.

After the recent deaths of the two national Polish heroes, General Anders in London, and General Sosnskowski in Canada --
Dr. Bielecki, President of the Polish unity council in
England is by far the most important living Polish statesman to-day. He is well known among Polish Americans, having visited the
United States four times during the last twenty years. A former
secretary to the great Roman Dmowski, who, with Paderewski, signed
the Versailles Treaty in 1919, Bielecki was in 1938 elected Presi-
dent of the largest and oldest political party in Poland, the
National Democratic Party - equivalent to the Republican Party
here. During World War II, while not always in full agreement
with Sikorski (he questioned Sikorski's terms of war agreement
with Stalin), Bielecki supported and was part of the legal Polish
government in exile. He is an expert on eastern and central
Europe, a brilliant, well-balanced, analytical, cool mind, and
could be of interest even to the best informed man in world poli-
tics, Dr. Kissinger.

Dr. Bielecki has arrived on invitation and as a guest of his former political Polish friends, who today are American citizens
staread all over our country (some of them are doing very well in
different walks of life), for a five to six weeks visit to the
States. He arrived the 20th of October and delivered an address
in Polish at the venerable Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences
in New York -- "The Triangle: China, Russia and America".

My good friend spent ten days in New York, three days in Washington, three days in Canada, and is at present in Chicago. He will again be in Washington for a week beginning November 15. It is during this week - Monday the 15th to the following Monday (November 22) that I would like to involve him with a few leading national figures at least. Of course, a short audience with the President would be most desirable and deeply appreciated.

There is one thing that I would like to stress here very strongly -- Bielecki is one of the exiled Polish leaders permanently residing in London, completely independent - on a visit here with life-long personal and political friends - not seeking or asking for anything from anyone but offering a lot in political experience, knowledge and information. He is greatly respected by the Polish Americans here and Poles all over the world as well. Bielecki's visits with members of the Nixon administration would be, in my opinion, an asset for next year's election - as far as the Polish American vote is concerned.

If you could arrange a visit for Dr. Bielecki with your esteemed boss, Dr. Kissinger, it would be wonderful and would serve a good cause.

I am sorry to bother you with this matter, but I truly believe it is important.

As always with best wishes to you, I am

RG/lr

TADEUSZ BIELECKI, President of the Polish National-Democratic Party since 1939, and Chairman of the Polish Council of National Unity in London since 1954, was born in Slupia in Central Poland in 1901. He is Doctor of Philosophy of the Cracow University and has a law degree of Warsaw University.

After taking part, as a volunteer, in the Russo-Polish war in 1920 he started a teaching career, but soon was absorbed by political life. He became secretary of the famous Polish statesman, Roman Dmowski. During World War I, Dmowski presented Poland's case to Woodrow Wilson and later signed the Versailles Treaty on behalf of Poland.

Dr. Bielecki has been elected to the Polish parliament (Sejm) in 1930, became vice president of the National Democratic Party in 1934, and leader of the National-Democrats in the Warsaw City Council. After taking part in the Polish campaign of 1939, Dr. Bielecki crossed the Polish-Hungarian border with his unit. A few months later in Paris, he was elected vice-chairman of the Polish National Council, presided by Ignacy Paderewski.

After the World War II, Dr. Bielecki was instrumental in fostering the collaboration of the principal Polish political parties from Democratic Socialists to National Democrats, and was elected Chairman of the Polish Council of National Unity in London in 1954.

Dr. Bielecki has written numerous articles in the Polish press and he is the author of three historical studies; his last book was published in 1968. This is the fifth visit of Dr. Bielecki to the United States.

I would have been with you.

I hope the evening went well and am looking

Dear Henry:

I'd like very much to see you during the next few weeks on a personal matter. If you could find a few minutes in your busy schedule, I'd be most grateful.

Like so many others, I am full of admiration at the series of diplomatic successes you have achieved during this past year. The SALT and trade agreements seem to me particularly extraordinary. Your defense of the SALT agreement to the Congressional leadership was most impressive and I took the liberty of using it as the basis for a foreign policy seminar I directed last month at the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies.

I am enclosing two recent essays which may be of interest. Although they involve rather different fields, they have a common theme. They both urge that the United States, having moved so successfully toward a better political and economic balance in the world, needs to devote increasing attention to the strengthening of multilateral institutions in which power and responsibility are more effectively shared. I know this is not a new thought to you, but I have the feeling that the conduct of U.S. policy in multilateral organizations still leaves much to be desired.

I'll be in touch with your secretary to see if we can arrange a mutually convenient time.

With best personal regards,

Dear Professor Kissinger:

Just a few lines to keep you posted on some recent developments
in my life.

Most important: my wife and I now are the happy and proud parents
of a 3-month old baby. Stefano is a big boy and, as any prejudiced
parent, I feel that he has achieved a great deal in these first
90 days of his life.

Also, I'd like you to know that, in addition to my old job, presently I am associated with a group working under the Chairmanship of Prince Bernard of Holland. The group includes representatives of some of the great banks of the world and of concerns dealing with the making of computers (IBM, Control Data Corp. etc.). Our main goal is to enhance the speed and efficiency of international financial-banking operations through standardized and computerized gathering and circulation of information. I am enthusiastic over this project whose contribution to international relations might be great. By the way, I was able to secure the cooperation, among others, of Mr. Richard Freund, Vice President of the First National City Bank of New York and of Mr. Byers-Miller, Interbank Association of New York.

A meeting of our new group will take place in Rome on June 8, 1971. I will keep you informed on the outcome of it and in general about our next steps.

Needless to say that hardly a day goes by without my being
reminded of you by the news media. Your extremely intelligent
and useful work is given the wide attention it deserves. Those
who are privileged to know you are simply delighted.

I hope I will have a chance to see you again soon.

With warmest regards, I am

Sir:

I regret the vicious tone of the article by Mr. Wanniski of your editorial page staff ["Teddy Kennedy's 'Shadow Government'", WSJ (3/27/73)]. Either Mr. Wanniski or his informants ("... rather high White House official ... one NSC official ... fellows on the National Security Council") couldn't be more wrong when they characterize the "science experts" recently "housecleaned" from the administration as "really nothing more than political operatives for the Nixon opposition." At the last meeting of the President's Science Advisory Committee (not "Council"), December 1972, every one of the twenty members had been appointed by President Nixon. Several of them had attended their first meeting in September 1972.

Far from being "political operatives for the Nixon opposition," nineteen out of the twenty never (to my knowledge) testified in Congress against any program supported by the administration. I have testified independently both in support of administration programs (the SALT Agreements) and in opposition to administration programs (the SST), but I am in no sense a political operative for the opposition. I testify or give advice on the merits of the individual case and not in regard to any political aspect. As for the scientists comprising a "collection of academicians," can the chief executives of large corporations (Patrick E. Haggerty -- Texas Instruments, Kenneth H. Olsen -- Digital Equipment Corporation, Howard S. Turner -- Turner Construction Company) be regarded as academicians? How about research directors for large corporations (Theodore L. Cairns -- DuPont, Solomon J. Buchsbaum -- Bell Telephone Laboratories)? And Daniel P. Moynihan, just appointed by President Nixon as Ambassador to India, into which perjorative category does he fit?

As for the implication that scientists were responsible for leaks of information regarding US negotiating positions on SALT I, that information was extremely tightly held, and

scientists by virtue of their contacts with the Office of Science
and Technology and the President's Science Advisory Committee
had no contact with it. Perhaps the leaks came from the same
non-scientific source which brought us the revelation of the
White House discussions regarding India and Pakistan in December
1971.

The Journal is too good a newspaper to give space in its
columns to a smear of a whole class of individuals by anonymous
informants, to generalizations from no evidence at all.

Among the scientists associated with OST and PSAC I have
been one of the most active in the public eye. It is hard to
believe that the administration abolished OST and PSAC on my
account, after the expiration of my term on PSAC and without
having asked for my resignation in 1970, when I first testified
on the SST program. That act would be organizational overkill.

I have had twenty-three years of part-time but intensive
public service primarily in support of national security and
covering just about all aspects, from nuclear weapons through
military aircraft, naval ships and submarines, intelligence,
and arms control. My code of conduct in dealing with the
complicated relationships within the administration or between
the administration and Congress is simple, although evidently
not popular with Mr. Wanniski or his informants. It is:

(1) I do not provide Classified material except to those with a verified security clearance and need to know.

(2) I do not reveal what Presidents tell me or what I tell them.

(3) I do not reveal the views of others who participate in committee or panel meetings, nor the topics under discussion or study.

Beyond that, I feel completely free to use publicly available
information in supporting my advocacy of programs or policies.
I sign and date everything I write -- if there are inaccuracies
or the release of privileged material, then I am personally
responsible.

The formulation of policy is important, and it requires
the involvement of people with technical backgrounds and wide
