Substance of writer's statement: Germany

The faculty of the department of social science of the above university is now faced with the problem of filling two teaching vacancies in political science. One of the chairs (political science I) will be chiefly concerned with "the theory of institutions, with special reference to the formation of political public opinion and the political decision-making processes," and the other with "comparative politics." In each case the faculty would like as broad a presentation of the subject as possible by the new appointee.

Sehr verehrter Herr Kollege!

Erlauben Sie bitte, daß ich mich heute mit einem Anliegen an Sie wende. Die Fakultät der Abteilung für Sozialwissenschaft befaßt sich zur Zeit mit der Frage der Wiederbesetzung von zwei vakant gewordenen Lehrstühlen für Politische Wissenschaft. Der eine Lehrstuhl (Politische Wissenschaft I) soll "Die Institutionenlehre unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der politischen Willensbildung und der politischen Entscheidungsprozesse", der zweite Lehrstuhl (Politische Wissenschaft II) "Die Vergleichende Regierungslehre (Comparative Politics)" als Schwerpunkt erhalten. Der Fakultät wäre allerdings an einer möglichst breiten Vertretung des Fachs in beiden Fällen durch die auf die beiden Lehrstühle zu berufenden Kollegen sehr gelegen.

Berufungskommission und Fakultät wären Ihnen sehr verbunden, wenn Sie sich zu Herrn Privatdozent Dr. Werner Kaltefleiter (Politische Wissenschaft I) und Herrn Prof. Dr. Karl Kaiser (Politische Wissenschaft II), die im genannten Zusammenhang diskutiert werden, gutachtlich äußern wollten.

Dear Henry:

Sometime ago last summer, in making up a summary of my experience as a job-hunting weapon, I listed your name among my professional references as one who knew I was literate and a professional in promotion and public relations. Since your move to the White House, I have not changed my list of references, but certainly I do not wish to impose on you.

You may have queries about me, and if you would rather not, would you let me know? I appreciate your heavy schedule.

I trust you are well, and I know how hard you are working.

Dear Henry:

Here is the letter from Grace Laurens, George Elison's sister. Could you write saying that while you do not know Peter, you know the family and should like to see him accepted, if there is room. I should greatly appreciate it.

Dear Nancy,

Allow me to thank you in advance for your kind
offer of assistance in the matter of Peter's
school admission.

In order to acquaint you with the background of
this story I shall brief you chronologically as
to the "course of events."

For the past 3 years we were evaluating suitable
places for Peter's education. After many recommen-
dations from various sources we finally decided
to have Peter enter the U.N. International School
at 80-14 150th Str. Jamaica. As my husband has been
physician to many U.N. staff members and their fa-
milies for the past 20 years and as we live in
close proximity to the school we felt this to be
our best choice. In addition, with its high schola-
stic standard and international atmosphere this
school appeared most befitting to Peter with his
own multinational and multilingual family back-
ground.

In Oct. 68 we registered him. In Jan. 69 he was asked
to spend a morning in school for evaluation. In
the following weeks we learned through friends in
the U.N. who inquired at the school that Peter's
acceptance was pretty well secure. (It was for this
reason that we did not try any other suitable
school).

To our utmost surprise and disappointment we re-
ceived a form letter in March informing us that,
due to lack of space, Peter could not be accepted.

We immediately contacted a few friends who are top
officials at the U.N. to intervene in Peter's be-
half, which they did.

Unfortunately the response was not very encouraging and definite. (See enclosed letter to Mr. Gazarian - French delegate to the Secretary General's office - who was one of Peter's sponsors.)

Our problem is the uncertainty of the situation which prevents us from making other more binding commitments.

We feel that any additional recommendations or sponsorships from sources with prestige would be extremely helpful in advancing him on that waiting list. His chances should actually be double because, we are sure, he could enter either First or Second Grade. (He can read and write.)

If you really could arrange a good word for Peter among your many distinguished friends and acquaintences (incl. a recommendation from you personally) we would be eternally grateful to you.

Believe me, dear Nancy, you are not sticking your neck out; Peter, with his 5½ years, is an exceptionally gifted child who would be a great credit to any school. In addition you know us too.

Please, please, do come out to visit us very soon. Nature is at its best now and you must meet the object of our affection in person.

With our kindest regards and
many thanks

The reference to Junior A places in Mr. Cole's letter was a mistake which was rectified. It pertains to Grade I or II.

Dear Mr. Goldman:

Thank you for your letter of January 1.

I have asked one of the Latin American specialists on my staff about
other places where your son-in-law, Mr. Levine, might inquire
for a position. He suggests that the Agency for International Develop-
ment (AID) might be the best possibility in terms of number of positions.
The Department of State, and the Inter-American Development Bank
(IDB) might also be looked into.

The addresses in Washington of these agencies are:

AID: 320 21st Street, N. W.
State: 2201 C Street, N. W.
IDB: 808 17th Street, N. W.

I hope this information is useful. I regret that I am not able to be of
more assistance.

MEMORANDUM FOR DR. KISSINGER

FROM: Peter Rodman PUR

SUBJECT: Letter from Fred Goldman

Mr. Fred Goldman, a former resident of Furth (whose sister-in-law, Nellie Schuster, went to school with you there), has written you (Tab B) asking for advice for a son-in-law who is looking for a government job in the Latin American field. Mr. Goldman wonders if the boy is exploring the right possibilities.

Arnie Nachmanoff has suggested a few additional agencies which the boy should look into (in addition to the ones Mr. Goldman mentions). Your reply (at Tab A) so indicates.

RECOMMENDATION:

That you sign the reply at Tab A.

January 1, 1970

Dr. Henry Kissinger
c/o The White House
Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

As a former resident of Fürth, I was very interested
in following your career. It makes me proud seeing
someone from our hometown achieve such an important
position in this country.

You may not remember me personally, but my family
owned a store at Blumenstrassen 4 (Jakob Goldmann).
However, I am sure you remember my wife, Ruth's,
family, the Schusters, whose bakery was at Hirschen-
strasse 21. You went to school with my wife's sister,
Nellie.

My son-in-law, Leonard Levine, received his Master of
Arts degree in Latin American studies at the University
of New Mexico (June 1969). He is interested in
obtaining a government job in his field. He recently
visited Washington, D. C. to inquire about available
positions. After being told there were no openings
with the Central Intelligence Agency, he was referred
to the Civil Service Commission. There he learned of
the scarcity of government jobs for Latin Americanists.
He intends to place applications at non-federal agencies
such as the Organization of American States and the
International Monetary Fund. I would like to know if
he is exploring all the possibilities for jobs re-
quiring his specialty. We would be very grateful for
any advice you could offer.

Thank you very much.

Dear Henry:

Thanks so much for your letter which I will forward

squeeze in, but competition for entrance gets tougher all the
time.

Hilary is overjoyed to be going to the same school
as Elizabeth. Nothing has meant more to her than her fast
friendship with Liz.

Recommendations - Introductions

January 11, 1970

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The Council Against Communist Aggression will soon be holding its Annual Awards Dinner to pay honor to those who have made outstanding contributions to the preservation of freedom through their efforts to combat communist aggression and oppression.

This year we would like to select those receiving the awards from various fields, including business, the press, broadcasting, government, the arts and the military.

We would like to have you nominate a candidate for the award from your field. The candidate should be a person who has done something outstanding during the past year. A statement describing what the nominee has done should accompany the nomination. The Council will select the recipients of the awards from among the nominees.

Nominations should reach us not later than February 1, 1970. We will greatly appreciate your cooperation in this matter. I am sure that you will agree with us that those who are doing good work in the never-ending struggle against totalitarianism are deserving of more public recognition and appreciation.

# WHAT IS AIM?

AIM stands for Accuracy in Media. It is a non-profit, non-partisan organization. Its purpose is to encourage the news media to maintain the highest possible standards of accuracy in their reporting and news commentary.

AIM was launched in September 1969, by a group of public spirited citizens in the Washington area. The organizers had long been concerned about the serious errors and distortions in news reporting, especially on the part of TV. The advent of television journalism with its vast audiences, its monopolistic structure, its tendency to emphasize conflict for dramatic effect and even to stimulate violent and bizarre conduct and the difficulty of correcting its errors has created new and unprecedented problems.

The supporters of AIM studied the problem and concluded that in the absence of any effective official means of upholding minimum standards of accuracy, it would be of some help if a private "civilian review board" for the media could be organized. This is what AIM is intended to be. It will be concerned to a large extent with TV and radio, but it will not limit its activity to the electronic media.

AIM is purely private. It has no power except the power of truth and its ability to expose error. At present it operates entirely with volunteer services. It fortunately has the services of some men of exceptionally high competence and character.

AIM cannot at present monitor all the media. It therefore invites complaints of inaccurate reporting, which it endeavors to check out. If AIM decides that a complaint is well founded and the broadcaster or publisher responsible for the alleged error disagrees and refuses to make a correction, AIM will put the matter before a competent panel of judges for a decision. If the judges so decide the error and the refusal of the party responsible to make a correction will be publicized to the maximum degree possible.

AIM's supporters include William Yandell Elliott, Harvard Professor of Government, emeritus, Benjamin Ginzburg, formerly Research Director of the U. S. Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, now retired, and Neil Albert Salonen, President of the Freedom Leadership Foundation, to name but a few. **Your endorsement and active support is invited.**

Dear Mr. Wilson:

I have heard that Winston Lord is being nominated for membership in the Council. I would like to endorse this nomination in the strongest and most enthusiastic terms.

Winston has been my special assistant for nearly three years. In that capacity he has accompanied me in every negotiation in which I have participated. He has been the principal drafter of position papers for me in the highly sensitive areas in which he has been involved -- most notably the opening to the People's Republic of China and the Vietnam negotiations. He has been the principal drafter of the substance of Presidential speeches and statements on foreign policy and has made a major contribution to the President's four Foreign Policy Reports to the Congress. He is a young man of exceptional ability, experience, and promise. Beyond this, everyone who knows him will testify to his extraordinary personal integrity and decency.

I am sure Winston will make a valuable contribution to the Council.
