Washington D.C.
My dear Professor and friend:
I am very sorry we were unable to meet these
days, prior to my return to Spain, but I quite understand
the reasons which have compelled you to cancel all your
appointments for the present two weeks. I hope to have
this opportunity later, on the occasion of another trip
of mine back to Washington by the middle of April, on the
subject of our present negotiations. But before I leave
for Spain I would like to be able to express in writing,
as I told Mr. Sonnenfeld last evening, some ideas that
have come as an afterthought and might serve as a reminder
of the interesting audience granted by the President to
our Foreign Minister Señor Castiella, which I was privileged
to attend.
I must stress this letter is of a private
nature - although it may mention official business - and
I would like you to look at it as representing the firm
beliefs of a Spaniard of your generation - I was also born
in 1923 - with a University background (graduate in Law
and Political Science) who by avocation has also been from
time to time a Professor of Foreign Policy, both in the
Madrid Faculty of Political Science and Economics, and in
the Madrid Foreign Service School, where I had very many
opportunities to use your many publications on those matters
some of which I helped to translate and publish in Spain.
Firstly, I would like to reaffirm the Spanish
desire for full cooperation with the United States as well
as with Europe, because we are aware that we fully belong
