Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I spoke with Dr. Stern (in New York!) and he said he had not sent the wire - and really didn't like their having sent it in his name. He said that we should ignore it, as the letter from ORO of which we got a carbon - or a similar one from WSEG - would be good enough for the May 15-16 meeting; and if anything more needed your signature he could get it then. (He said along the way, however, that you would at some point have to send in the fingerprint cards.) He said if anything was missing, he would call when he got back to San Diego.

He also said the San Diego meeting is set for June 16th.

Lincoln Gordon will have lunch with you at the Faculty Club at 12:00 Tuesday - early because he has a 1:00 class.

Best regards ---

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Thank you very much for your fine letter of May
29, 1959, recommending your secretary, Miss
Corinne Lyman, for a position at La Spezia, Italy.

Our people at the SACLANT ASW Research Center
have given us a very difficult set of specifications to
meet including a knowledge of Italian as well as an
active secret clearance.

Therefore, if Miss Lyman does not qualify for the
positions we have open, this will be no reflection upon
her ability or competence but merely due to the
peculiar situation at La Spezia.

Dear Captain Gentry:

Your cable arrived during Mr.
Kissinger's absence; he is in Africa at
the moment, returning on June 30th. I
therefore felt the best thing to do would
be to turn your cable over to Mr. Fortmiller
of Raytheon Personnel, with whom I have been
talking. I understand that he has cabled a
reply.

I have been studying Italian during
the past year at the Cambridge Center for
Adult Education. While I do not really speak
it well, I do have a solid basis on which to
build. I studied French in college, but have
not used it since and have only a slight
reading knowledge. I have no security
clearance; but understand that I am not the
only candidate who has this problem and that
Mr. Fortmiller has been discussing it with
you.

PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY,
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

14th August, 1959.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

Thank you for your letter of 6th August regarding Miss Corinne Lyman, who has also written to me direct.

We have a fairly small staff attached to the Parliamentary Labour Party as this is an autonomous body working independently of the Labour Party at Transport House, and the only opening which we might be able to find for Miss Lyman may not be of a character to appeal to her. I am, however, writing to her telling her what the position is, and also raising the question of her obtaining the necessary permits; but in addition I am pursuing enquiries in the Research and International Departments at Transport House in case any suitable opening might be available there.

Thank you for your kind reference about the Seminar. All our people who do attend come back with the most enthusiastic reports and it is obviously of very great benefit to them. I hope you find it equally advantageous from your point of view.

Kind regards,

Henry A. Kissinger, Esq.,

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

It gives me pleasure to write the following recommendation for Miss Corinne Lyman. Miss Lyman worked with me from her graduation from Swarthmore College in 1954 until December of 1959. I have, therefore, had an opportunity to follow her development. I have never worked with anyone in whom I had greater confidence or who possessed superior skills. Miss Lyman started in my office performing primarily secretarial functions but even in the beginning there were a wide variety of different tasks to be performed since the work involved both the conduct of the International Seminar and the editing of a journal. She showed herself particularly capable as an editorial assistant. In fact, I thought so much of her judgment that I always asked her to assist me in editing my own writings.

Over the years Miss Lyman assumed an increasing burden of
responsibility. In 1955-57 when I spent most of my time in New York,
Miss Lyman was to all practical purposes responsible for the operation
of both the Harvard International Seminar and Confluence, a quarterly pub-
lished under our auspices. In the performance of her work she displayed
an unusual combination of independent judgment together with complete
loyalty to the spirit of the enterprise and a willingness to be personally
anonymous. Even though she had assumed major administrative responsibilities,
I continued to rely on her for the greater part of my secretarial work, in
which field her skills are also exceptional. It is not very often that
one can find a person who combines these qualities to such a high degree.

Miss Lyman is conscientious and intelligent. Her relations with
those working both over her and under her were extremely good. I will
always be eager to reemploy her, should the opportunity exist.

Dear Corinne:

Your nice letter with news about Wayland Young
arrived while I was taking a trip to Europe and it followed
us around. It was very good to hear from you, though I am
not sure I understand whether you were being sarcastic or
serious about your fondness for British ceremony.

I was away most of the summer--until last week--
traveling in Greece, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and France,
while everyone here was going crazy trying to get my book
finished. It is due to go to Harpers on September 12th and
will be published in January under the title *The Necessity for
Choice: Prospects of American Foreign Policy*. I have delayed
the publication date so as not to have it come out at the time
of the campaign.

As I suspected, the Seminar ran very well without me
under the direction of Earl Latham. Everyone agrees that this
was the brightest group so far, and Marcia and her replacement,
Dee Jones, tell me that they all have excellent senses of humor
and that there were none of the cliques we had had in previous
years. The Seminar is just ending now, and six of the Asian
participants will be joining me in Tokyo in two weeks to attend
the Japanese-Harvard Seminar. After several withdrawals and
many hurried cables between Heggie and me and Komatsu in Tokyo
and this office, we have finally gotten 32 people to go, which,
added to the Japanese, will make a fairly full group. I am
now trying to decide whether or not to stop in Formosa before
returning to Cambridge in late September.

It was very nice to hear from you, and I hope you will
let me know how you are doing.

Kindest regards.

August 24, 1961

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

I must be one of the better informed people on your career. What I missed from reading the English press was supplied by clippings sent to me by my own private clipping service from the American newspapers and magazines.

My last few months have been migratory. I left England the end of April, just
too late to experience the attempted coup and Shirley in Paris. From there I took the
Simplon-Orient Express for Athens -- so you see, the book was doubly valuable to me.
The train was express as far as Venice, but as soon as it hit Yugoslavia it became
extremely local, and rather suspicious. May is the perfect month for Greece. It is still
green, there are masses of wild flowers, and especially the small red poppies which seemed
to grow most luxuriantly amongst the temples and cyclopian walls. I spent little time in
Athens, except to go to the Museum which is incredibly rich and the Acropolis. (I cannot
interest myself much in the Byzantine.) It is a very dull city. Delphi, Mycenae, Tiryns
and re-visited Corinth were all near-by splendors. Nauplia was lovely for its sea and
Epidaurus a Texas-sized disappointment. I also went to nearby Aegina Island which had
a fine temple but was otherwise boring. A week on Thira was a high spot, with a donkey
ride up 383 giant steps to the town and a hotel which looked out over the crater rim, and
the black-lava still-smoking crater. I spent some days in Crete, too, and would like to
have them over -- I'd do everything different if I could. Heraklion is another awful
town. If you ever go to Greece, please let me know, as I am dying to issue injunctions,
especially on what not to do.

I went by boat from Piraeus to Messina and directly on to Taormina, where I stayed in the Casa of an extremely determined resident English woman, ex-child psychiatrist, very pro-Danilo. My windows looked out over the bay and shore to Etna, which was in a period of activity and glowed a dull red. In residence were also a BBC researcher, an American composer and a retired colonel. But it wasn't a patch on the winter stay in Asolo. If you want to write in peace and quiet some time, with hills to contour close at hand, the Dolomites a half day away and the decades of Venice an hour and a half, you should rent half of Freya Starks house. She also has an excellent cook and most willing (to work) maid.

Then on to Malta, where I worked monstrously hard at nothing in return for room and board, got a sample of English county life 50 years ago, and found little of interest, except for the small island of Gozo, where many people have never been to the main town, in a 9 sq. mi. area., and for the old fortifications. I was to visit friends in Geneva and Heidelberg before sailing back, but my family called to say my father had had a serious heart attack, and I decided to fly back right away. I've been re-Americanized now for over a month. The doctors have decided my father had pneumonia with heart complications both of which have now cleared up, but they also found a rare fungus growth in his lung, for which they fortunately found a cure just a year ago. But he has to have the medicine fed into him intravenously 6 hours a day for 40 days. Still, that is good, relatively speaking. So beware of rare fungus growths if you go to Arizona or the San Joaquin Valley.

In about 10 days I am going out to stay with my sister in San Jose and cousin at Stanford, and to look for jobs. My plan was to try San Francisco, and if that did not prove fruitful, head back to New York and Washington. I would be most grateful for any suggestions from you as to possible avenues to explore. I thought I might try the Asia Foundation in S.F., but will not show them your recommendation saying for all intents and purposes for two years...... I wondered too, do you think Robert Sedgwick would be willing to give me any general advice on that area, and if so, do you have his address? I hope you don't mind my enlisting you. Or should I try to get into the NAR set-up somehow so I can help him run for President in a few years?

Please give my very warm regards to your wife, and of course my best to you.

Dear Corinne:

It was a pleasure to hear from you as always. Your description of Greece was pithy and on the whole I agree with you, having been there last year.

It was nice of you to suggest that I should rent Freya Stark's house. How would I go about it, if I should ever decide to do so?

Robert Sedgwick is no longer with the Asia Foundation, and the man taking his place is Richard Heggie. If you want to work in New York, I am almost certain that I can get you a job in the Rockefeller setup, and if you have really bad luck, I might even get you to work for me. I do not think the Rockefellers have any West Coast offices, so if you would like to see the Asia Foundation, please feel free to do so. I don't recall my letter of recommendation, but if it is no longer adequate I will be glad to send you another one.

If you want to come to New York let me know and I will do my best for you in the Rockefeller setup. I would assume that you would prefer a research to a secretarial job, and believe that it might be arranged. If you would like to work in Washington, I would certainly be able to send you to the proper people. There, however, your work is likely to be more secretarial.

With warm regards.

**Experience:**

May 1960 -
April 1961 Personal Secretary/Research Assistant to Sir John Whyatt, British Section of the International Commission of Jurists, London.

A Committee composed of Lord Shawcross; Norman Marsh, Director of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law; Sir Sydney Caine, Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science; and Professor H.W.R. Wade, Oxford University; with Sir John Whyatt as Director of Research for the project, was appointed by the British Section "to enquire into the adequacy of the existing means for investigating complaints against administrative acts or decisions of Government Departments and other public bodies, where there is no tribunal or other statutory procedure available for dealing with the complaints; and to consider possible improvements to such means, with particular reference to the Scandinavian institution known as the Ombudsman." The Report of the Committee was substantially completed by April 1961 and will be published in October 1961.

March -
April 1960 Research Assistant, Institute for Strategic Studies, London. The Institute had commissioned an historian, Michael Foot, to write a book on the structure and recruitment of military manpower in various countries in the period following World War II. I wrote a paper for his use on military manpower in the United States.

November 1954 - November 1959 Senior Secretary, Harvard University. Secretary to Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, who was then Associate Director, Center for International Affairs; Executive Director, Harvard International Seminar; Director, Defense Studies Program; Associate Professor, Department of Government; and until 1959, Editor, *Confluence, An International Forum*. In addition to purely secretarial work, my duties were chiefly concerned with the International Seminar and *Confluence*.

In connection with the International Seminar, I had general responsibility for administrative aspects of the project. This included soliciting applications to the Seminar and arranging the program of the forty to forty-five members from abroad during their eight-week stay. The program consisted of seminar meetings three mornings each week, eminent guest speakers in the afternoons of those days, visits to educational, manufacturing, governmental and other organizations two days each week and various social contacts in the Boston area.

*Confluence* published authors from American, European and Asian countries on a wide variety of topics. In addition to taking responsibility for the more technical aspects such as proofreading and subscriptions, I assisted in editing the magazine.

I also assisted Dr. Kissinger in editing his own writings. For *Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy* I did research, primarily in Congressional Hearings, which was used as part of the background material for the first three chapters of the book.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

Apart from enjoying a letter from you, it always gives me at least 15 minutes of good puzzle time trying to figure out how much was actually written by you. Please tell me, was "pithy" your word or were you just laughing as you said it?

If you wanted to rent Freya Stark's house, write to her at Casa Freia, Asolo, Treviso, Italy. If you wanted to be really sure, you could mail a copy to her English publisher, Jock Murray. What she usually does is rent half the house. It divides neatly into dining room, salotta, her study and bedroom on one side with stairs; and large hall for dining room, living room/study with piano, second floor large hall which can also be used for sitting in with two bedrooms and 2 baths, third floor bedroom w bath, also w stairs. Staff consists of Emma and Keki (cook and gardener) and a maid -- Lorencina when I was there. I don't have any idea how much it costs, except that I do know that if you are there in the winter and have the central heating on you pay that separately and it is quite expensive. I looked through her guest book and don't remember any name you have in common. She didn't seem to know any of the Italian intellectuals. One of the people who stayed there was Alan Moorhead sipping along on the White Nile and wishing he got F. Stark's reviews while F. Stark agonized on her work and wished she got his money. The house isn't anything to look at although part of the foundations are Roman, but inside it has a patina of centuries which I enjoyed.

I would be grateful if you could see whether I might fit into the
Rockefeller setup in a research job. I thought I would look on the West Coast because
so much of my family is out here; and I am sure I would enjoy living in San Francisco
or say New Orleans just as I would enjoy living in New York. But New York just is
the place for jobs, and I have been none too hopeful that I could find what I want
on the West Coast. I'm beginning to feel just ancient enough to want to find something
really good and stick with it, and would hate to plunge into something less desirable
on the West Coast if you found it likely the Rockefeller organization would have a
place for me. They might very well want to talk to me before doing anything definite,
but if you thought it a good way to proceed, perhaps you could use the enclosed
sheets to investigate the situation. For the next few weeks I will be at my sister's,
4719 Atherton Avenue, Apt. 4, San Jose 30, California, with side trips to San Francisco
and my cousins in Stanford. My sister has become the complete Californian, with
swimming pools and luau's with whole roasted pigs. (You under-rate yourself --
working for you had its mammoth compensations! I'm afraid maybe I've gotten too
aggressive.)

Your letter of recommendation was more than adequate -- I am pleased each
time I read it. The reason I did not send it to the Asia Foundation was simply
because of the sentence that says, "Miss Lyman was to all practical purposes
responsible for the operation of both the Harvard International Seminar and
Confluence," which I thought was a little extreme for them.

Again my regards, and my hopeful thanks.

Dear Corinne:

I was away for most of the time after September 1st and am therefore getting around to your letter only today.

I have talked with Nancy Hanks about you and
I am pretty sure we can find you something in the Rockefeller
organization. If not, we can try the Council on Foreign Relations
or some similar institution. I will keep you posted, and if you
find something on the West Coast, please let me know.

The reason I asked you about Freya Stark's house
was because I found your suggestion rather astonishing. You
may have mentioned the house to me previously, but I am sure
it slipped my mind.

I was distressed to hear about your father's
illness and hope he is improving now.

Dear Corinne:

You may be hearing shortly from the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund about a research job, and I wanted to give you
a few words of advice about it, particularly about the salary.

I would suggest that you not say that money is
no object. They do not respect this attitude. On the other
hand, of course, you should not make any excessive demands. The
best course would be to let them make an offer and tell them you
will have to think it over. If they do make an offer and you
would like to check with me, I will be very glad to tell you whether
I think it is fair. Even if you do not want to check with me, I
still think it would be a good idea not to accept immediately, but
to consider it.

Kind regards.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I think I haven't told you that I've been working
on an M.A. at N.Y.U. At the end of the summer I had completed
24 of the 30 points, and I am finishing up the courses here at
the Johns Hopkins SAIS. I'm also working on the M.A. thesis.
It may be immodest but helpful to say that so far I've gotten
A on all the political science courses, with a B in one sociology
course; and in several of the courses it seemed (to me) obvious
that my work excelled.

Now I would like to go on for further graduate
work, and all of the enclosed forms are directed toward that
purpose. Would you be willing to complete them? While I have
never studied under you, you must be as aware as anyone of my
capabilities. Particularly since I duplicated professors at
N.Y.U. only once -- and one course isn't much basis for
judgment.

I would be additionally grateful if you would not
mention this to any of our mutual friends! It is in the nature
of a throw of the dice, and if it doesn't work out (meaning
financially) then I will stay on here with enthusiasm and
profit for another year, saving, doing the second language,
etc. I'd prefer to do it now, though, before I am middle-aged!

With many and deep anticipatory thanks.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

About a year ago you suggested there might be some
research I would be interested in doing on a book you
planned on international politics. Perhaps you have finished
it by now!

But since I'd always be interested in working with you,
if it could be worked out in a mutual way, I thought I would
write you and make a rather limited suggestion. I take my
generals in October, and then plan to concentrate on a
thesis (still vague). I have the same 10-hour-a-week assistantship
with the Foreign Policy Research Center that I have held before.
From a financial point of view, it's not absolutely necessary,
but I could use another 10-hour job, particularly an interesting
one. It seems doubtful that you could separate out that small
a project or would want work done from a distance. Still, why
not broach the idea?

I may be in Boston in November, and might see you then,
on pleasure if not business.

Best regards.

P.S. I will be at 2128 N Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037

Thanks so much -- that's really fine,

When I got back here, I discovered
they'd scheduled exams from the middle of October
to the middle of November. I still expect to be
in Cambridge the week of November 21st. Will you

Dear Dean:

I have talked to the young lady I recommended to you. Despite my strong urging, she has decided not to accept the position you mentioned. She is in the process of writing her thesis and she finds that the maximum amount of time she could give to outside work would be ten hours a week; that, she believes, would not be adequate for you. If she is wrong about this, why don't you get in touch with her directly. Her name is Miss Corinne Lyman and she can be reached at 2128 N. Street, N.W., Washington 20037 (telephone: 337-8696). I really cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a somewhat withdrawn person, but absolutely reliable and thoughtful. As I have mentioned before, I would happily take her on myself for whatever time she can spare.

If Miss Lyman does not work out, then maybe another former assistant of mine who is now in Washington could be of some use to you. She is less intelligent and thorough, but she might be quite helpful nevertheless. Will you let me know about it and I will approach her.

With warm regards and every good wish.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I really enjoyed seeing you Friday --
unadulterated by terror.

You know I'm grateful to you for the
interest you've taken in my present and future.
After seeing you, I felt I had been somewhat
previous in asking your help about academic
positions. It may not be wise to try and find
something for next fall, as you pointed out;
and even if I were to try, how can I ask you
to put my name forward until I at least have
my dissertation mapped out?

So perhaps I could come back to you
about it later? And perhaps it would be just
as well if you put off any discussions with
the Hopkins faculty til then? I would much
prefer that. I have the feeling it would not

I always stop at the Busch-Reisinger
on my way to 6 Divinity. Their things are not
impressive, but some I like very much. This
time I wondered, rather idly, whether you liked
the collection or whether I was linking two
incompatibles.

In any event, my best regards,

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

Just a year ago you were kind enough to say that
you would be willing to be of assistance when I began looking
for a teaching job. That is what is about to happen. I would
like to put forward your name among my references, if you are
agreeable. My curriculum vitae would show the context within
which you formed your basic impressions. In addition Mr.
Osgood said he would be glad to talk to you about me, as you
once suggested. Would you prefer to write individual letters
or to put one on file with Mrs. Miriam de Grazia, S.A.I.S.,
1740 Massachusetts Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20036?

Beyond this, it appeared a year ago that you might
initiate some contacts. As I recall it, you mentioned
Princeton and Yale! I would like to be realistic, though
not pessimistic, and am inclined to set my sights one notch
lower. But I wonder how to proceed. Would you make a few
suggestions? Or should I send you a list of 15-20 universities
and colleges I feel favorably inclined toward for you to
inspect? Or would you think the whole idea is inappropriate
and prefer just to keep me in mind should anyone appeal to
you for suggestions?

With warm respect and respects,

Mr. Henry A. Kissinger

Dear Corinne:

Your letter of September 19 reached here when I was out of the country. You know that I would be more than happy to be of help to you. Any former secretary who still speaks to me has a lot going for her with me.

I am inclined to believe that individual letters would be more helpful than putting something on file with S.A.I.S. Why don't you send me a list of 15 to 20 universities and colleges that meet with your approval, and if I know somebody at any of them I shall write them. Also, could you give me some basic information about yourself, such as thesis topic, grades and so forth.

How have you been? Did the Acheson relationship work out? This
sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. Do let me know when you come
through Cambridge.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

I'm not just willing to speak to you, I even feel friendly toward you. That sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. I feel grateful too.

Attached is a list for your inspection. I won't try to go into the considerations that lie behind its composition, but any comments are welcome. I will try to phone you Monday to see whether you have thought of some people to write to. It's not that I want to be too persistent, but I think that for maximum effect it would be best for me to write at about the same time you do and also, I would not want to be nonplussed should someone you wrote phone me out of the blue.

Enclosed is a curriculum vitae. My dissertation topic is "The Role of the Munich Analogy in American Foreign Policy Since World War II." It might have a subtitle running, "With special attention to the perpetual problem of statecraft of the choice between opposition and conciliation." My researches are centering on the characteristics of the Munich period; the assumptions of policy makers about the period and the lessons to be derived from it; changes in these assumptions and lessons; the degree to which the analogy has been determining for policy makers and what other considerations have been determining; and, finally, an evaluation of the correctness of the use of the analogy.

On grades. I have never gotten below a B+, but I took quite a lot of international economics and got a straight row of B+s in that. Personally I think that is forgivable, maybe even admirable. For the rest, I have a solid A- average over my graduate career.

The relationship with Mr. Acheson still continues and seems likely to last another year, if in reduced form. He seems to be trying to turn me into an Asian specialist. The more research I do, the more I admire his qualities. You will have to ask him about the reverse.

With best regards.

trying to turn me over to the Vauvais sherryfins. The more reason I
find to feel somewhat better, it is recommended to me. He seems to be
the one with whom I relate with Mr. Vauvau, still continue and see
the results.

The relationship with Mr. Vauvau is still continuing and seems
certainly.

For the rest, I have a strong Vauvau sherryfins' opinion even though
I am not sure if the sherryfins' opinion will be the same as that of
the rest of the international economics and so on. I am very
satisfied with Mr. Vauvau's strategy and so on.

On grades. I have never seen a better one. I put I am very
satisfied.

work, and what other considerations have been determining; end,

very comments are made. I will try to write him next time to
get into the considerations that he having his consideration, not
attended to a great deal for him, indeed.

I feel grateful too.

Various members of the Labour Party expressed an interest in the project from the beginning and the present Government has established the Office of Parliamentary Commissioner.

1960. Institute for Strategic Studies, London, England

Dear Norton:

I am writing this letter to recommend to you a former secretary of mine who decided to do her degree in Political Science, and is now available for appointment to a faculty.

Corinne Lyman is in the process of completing her degree at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University. Her thesis is entitled "The Role of the Munich Analogy in American Foreign Policy Since World War II". I have discussed this with her at great length and think extremely highly of her.

I have known Miss Lyman since 1954 when she had just graduated from Swarthmore College. For the next five years she worked for me first as a secretary then as research assistant and editorial assistant. I was enormously impressed by the unusual combination of independent judgement, intelligence and dedication to her work. I have stayed in frequent touch with her since 1954. I certainly think she would be a great asset to any department.
