Dear Mr. Secretary:

We are delighted to hear from Fred Warner Neal that it will be possible for you to participate in our *Pacem in Terris IV* convocation at the Sheraton-Park Hotel in Washington, December 1-4.

As you know, the convocation is intended to focus public attention on the key foreign policy issues that should be on the agenda for the coming presidential campaign.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I am delivering herewith a small can of Western New York Maple Syrup which I hope you and your wife will enjoy. Although we are not noisy about it, we usually produce more maple syrup in Western New York than our more publicity-conscious Vermont neighbors. Naturally we think ours is a high quality product.

As I read the papers and listen to my colleagues in Congress, I conclude that a conscious effort is being made to force you out of the government. I hope you will take this as a compliment to your effectiveness and strength, just as I hope you are aware that there are many of us here in Congress who are grateful for the leadership, energy and judgment you have given to this country in your present position. I know the President appreciates your assistance, also, and I hope you will not succumb to the understandable frustrations which must frequently test your patience.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

It was a great pleasure to hear from George Franklin that you could be with us on May 15th and accept our Golden Jubilee Award.

I am enclosing our formal invitation and if there is anyone you would especially like us to invite, please let me know.

This occasion will be the highlight of 50 years of International House service and your honoring us in this way will make it memorable indeed.

We look forward to seeing you and in the meantime, we will be in touch with Mr. Campbell of your office to make sure that all arrangements meet with your approval.

- Please accept the admiration and gratitude of our students, staff and trustees.

With every good wish,

P.S. I am also enclosing an invitation to the two-day Symposium on "The Making of a Global Society" in the hope it may be of interest to you.

"Preparation For Leadership In A Global Society"

The year 1974 marks the Golden Jubilee of International House which was founded in 1924 by Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. It houses 500 graduate students from some 100 countries—one-third from the United States, and two-thirds from the rest of the world. It was the first major experiment in multi-national human relations.

Because the pace of instantaneous communication and the emerging Global Society make the International House experience more important than ever before, the theme of the Golden Jubilee Anniversary is—

Dear Henry:

As I view the nagging criticism that comes
from Congress by reason of one's tenure in the
Executive Branch, I think about some of my own
during some of those White House breakfasts during
the Vietnam-Cambodia incident. Now having left the
Senate and enjoying the sanctity of the private life,
with no constituency to satisfy, no press releases to
make, viewing with alarm my perspective has materially
changed.

Your activities in regard to our Government
have been outstanding. Probably no Secretary of State
has had to walk the tightrope between his office and the
Congress as you have been compelled to do; and cer-
tainly, no one has done it with the degree of success
that you have.

I would hope that you have made your last state-
ment about leaving. I would suggest to you that the

Dear Mr. Secretary:

All of us who had the privilege of listening to your words
last evening are very conscious of having been in the presence of
one of the most thoughtful and profound statesmen of our generation.
For me personally the added pleasure of our conversation and the
joy of getting to know Mrs. Kissinger and yourself made the Alfred
Smith Dinner of 1974 a most memorable occasion.

I want to thank you both for your graciousness in accepting
my invitation to address our Dinner and for your brilliant analysis
of your vision of peace in our time.

I do look forward to receiving Mrs. Kissinger and yourself
here at the Residence of the Archbishops of New York where the
Holy Father sojourned during his historic journey to the United
Nations on behalf of peace. I am asking Monsignor McCarrick
to be in touch with your office to see when it might be possible
for both of you to join me here for luncheon.

With kind personal regards to Mrs. Kissinger and yourself
and also to your beloved parents whom I had the happiness of
greeting at the end of the Dinner, I am

Your Eminence:

Nancy and I are sorry that we did not
have an opportunity before leaving New York
to thank you for a most enjoyable time at the
Alfred E. Smith dinner. It was as interesting
an evening as either of us has spent in some
time, and we greatly appreciate the personal
attention you extended to make the occasion
so memorable.

I saw the Holy Father while in Rome as
you suggested. We had a warm and most
useful discussion. Sharing his wisdom is
of course always a valuable experience for
me.

We hope to see you again soon.

Dear Henry:

I said it before and I'll say it again --
I sure am glad you're on our side.

Not that your most recent marvelous accom-
plishment is an "our side/their side" kind of a thing;
indeed it is far more significant than that and I can
only add my most sincere congratulations.

If trying to see you before was next-to-
impossible, I can imagine that an effort to have breakfast
with you next Thursday, June 6th, might prove unproductive
since you've only been gone 32 days. The way things are
going on Wall Street these days, I think you better make
this the next disaster area toward which you turn your
skills.

Seriously, I know how busy you are but I am
going to be in Washington Wednesday evening and Thursday
of next week and if I could catch you for a few minutes or
breakfast, would love to do so.

Continued good wishes and for heaven's sake,
try to slow down and get some rest. Best regards.

A feather in
Dr Kissinger's cap

To the long list of diplomatic triumphs recorded by the U.S. Secretary of State, Dr Henry Kissinger, must be added Friday's spectacular agreement between Israel and Egypt for the separation of their forces on the Suez Canal front.

If one hesitates to proclaim it as the beginning of a new era in Arab-Israeli relations its significance, in view of the long history of animosity between these countries, cannot be minimised.

It is of course only the first small step in what the world hopes will be a reconciliation between Jew and Arab, but this is still years and decades away, and Dr Kissinger has still a prolonged and busy schedule of shuttling between Cairo and Jerusalem before he and his successors can stamp "solved" on that bulky and weighty file.

The precise details of the agreement have yet to be announced but it appears that Egypt will be given the face-saving guarantee of control of both sides of the Suez Canal with an Israel withdrawal to about 20 miles away from the east bank.

Moreover the trapped Egyptian 3rd Army on the east bank of the Canal will be extricated without humiliation.

Conceivably this could lead in time to a reopening of the Canal but while that may be one of the first tangible benefits of the agreement it is still a distant prospect.

The most important thing is not the signing of an agreement but its long-term implementation, backed as it must be by the promise of a timetable for a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from lands captured in the 1967 war.

This of course involves Jordan and Syria as well and the next nettle to be grasped by Dr Kissinger and the Israelis will be the pullback from the Golan Heights, initially at least to the post-1967 ceasefire line.

It would be invidious at this stage to try to decide which side had given most away in the protracted bargaining that has taken place between Egypt and Israel, and it would be more generous to acknowledge that both had contributed equally to the agreement.

There is a danger however that the peace talks may now lose their momentum and it is imperative that Dr Kissinger's next act is the presentation of a timetable to all parties to ensure an early start on the next stage.

Clearly at this fragile juncture with Israel far from certain how much of its captured territory it should cede progress could easily be upset, and a renewal of the war would be a disastrous setback.

Surely the lesson of four wars in the last 30 years is that they solve nothing and Israel today needs an era of peace as badly as Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

Nor can the plight of the Palestinians pushed under the carpet - there lies the thorn of all.

Dr Kissinger is to be congratulated on his statesmanship and diplomacy. In an American leadership is at an all important. Kissinger provides a shining example of dedication and sincerity.

thank you for your confidence in recommending me to be Ambassador
to the German Democratic Republic.

We have been correctly and courteously received. The temporary
Embassy is quite good, as is our temporary residence, and I believe
the GDR officials are making special efforts to house the staff.
The members of the Embassy staff, headed by Brandon Grove as Deputy
Chief of Mission, are able and interested in their assignment.

I have sent you a message about my talk with Willi Stoph, Chairman
of the Council of State, after presenting my credentials to him on
December 20, which outlines my impressions thus far.

Lorraine joins me in best wishes to you and Mrs. Kissinger for 1975,
and your continued success. You can be assured of my loyalty.

The meeting at London in December was my first, and the discussions led by you were of depth in their conception of the foreign policy of the United States today and for the future.

I consider, and many with whom I had discussions in Washington, that it is of critical importance that you continue your work as Secretary of State.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I appreciate very much your telegram which I received August 23 on my seventy-fifth birthday. With all you have to do, and think about, it was extremely thoughtful of you to send me good wishes.

I am fortunate to reach seventy-five years. I can say I have enjoyed the years and I hope I can be of some use for our country in whatever time I may have.

I am happy about the nomination of President Ford. As Wellington is reported to have said after Waterloo, "It was a near run thing", but I always believed the President would win. It was an affirmation of your policies as well as of the President's.

I have enjoyed particularly reading about two of your recent meetings - your press conference on the Republican platform, and your speech at the World Boxing Association dinner. I enclose a clipping from the August 31 edition of the Paris Herald Tribune.
