Dear Rod:

Many thanks for letting me see the
Emmet correspondence, which I am herewith
returning. I do not think the Governor ought
to get into this right now.

Kind regards.

SUBJECT: Analysees of Kennedy Administration Actions

As you know, the Research Unit on the 5th floor at
20-22 West 55th Street has been following the Kennedy Administration
actions closely in most fields. The papers on Defense and Foreign
Affairs topics are prepared under the direction of Henry Kissinger;
the Domestic Affairs topics under me.

To be sure you have a complete set, we are enclosing here-
with copies of all the papers which have gone to the Governor in
1961 (except for a 70-page comparison of Kennedy and Rockefeller
accomplishments and proposals, prepared as of March 3, 1961).

Henry Kissinger and I will send you copies of these ma-
terials as they go to the Governor.

Please let me know of any suggestions you have as to how
the services and effectiveness of the Research Unit might be im-
proved.
