PROPOSED PRESS STATEMENT
Secretary General U Thant and I had a most useful exchange of
views. I conveyed to him the abiding interest of the American people
in the work of the United Nations, and their strong support for the
principles of the Charter.
United States policy toward the United Nations has always been
bipartisan. The Organization is, and will continue to be, an important
part of our efforts to keep and build the peace.
I told the Secretary General that I intend to work closely with
him in the years ahead as we search for a safer, more peaceful world.

BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES
Members of the Security Council
Algeria - Ambassador Twefil Bouattowra (bow-a-TOUR-a)
Young (late 30's), dynamic, capable, and friendly to the US within
the limits of Algerian policy.
Brazil - Ambassador Joao Augusto de Aranjo Castro
A capable, tough-minded diplomat in his late 40's. He is a disarmament
expert and friendly to the US.
Canada - Ambassador George Ignatieff
Gregarious, congenial, with Russian nobility background. He is
courageous and has been exceedingly helpful to the US. He will leave the
UN to head the Canadian Disarmament Delegation in Geneva at the end of this
session. He is about 50 years old.
China - Ambassador Liu Chieh (LEW)
A typical oriental diplomat in his early 60's. He is an old UN
hand and respected by his colleagues.
Denmark - Ambassador Otto Borch (BOORK)
A short, aggressive, very intelligent man. He was formerly the
Danish Ambassador to NATO and has been helpful to the US. He is about
50 years old.
Ethiopia - Ambassador L. E. Makonnen
President of the Security Council for December (this means that he
will be one of the senior people you meet today). He is highly polished,
and a member of the Ethiopian cabinet with a bright future (a confidential
source tells us that he will probably be the next Foreign Minister). He
is cagey and relatively non-committal, but friendly to the US.
France - Ambassador Armand Berard (BERAR)
A tall, distinguished looking diplomat, and an old UN hand. He is
a loyal supporter of General de Gaulle, but has been striving for better
US-French relations. He is about 60 years old.
- 2 -
Hungary Ambassador Karoly Csatorday (CHATTER-die)
A nasty, voluble man who is excellent in foreign languages. He is
in his early 50's.
India - Ambassador G. Parthasarathi (par-sa-thar-ATI)
A typical Indian diplomat, he has served in Hanoi and Peking.
He is returning to New Delhi soon to be a special assistant to the Prime
Minister. He is in his early 50's.
Pakistan - Ambassador Agha Shaki (SHA-hi)
A brilliant, very competent civil servant. He epitomizes the Pakistani
approach,1stearing a course between the US, USSR and China. He has done a
neat juggling act, keeping on good relations with both the US and Soviet
missions to the UN. He is about 45 years old.
Paraguay - Ambassador Miguel Solano Lopez
Solano Lopez is not influential but has been helpful to the US. He
1s in his late 50's.
UK - Lord Caradon
A distinguished member of the British Cabinet and a former Governor
General of Cyprus. He is the most eloquent speaker at the UN. He is very
liberal, especially on colonial questions. His relations with the US
Mission to the UN are excellent. He is in his late 50's or early 60's.
USSR - Ambassador Jakob Malik
An old line Soviet diplomat, but affable. This is his second tour
at the UN. He was here in 1950 and is the man who walked out during the
Korean debate. He speaks good English and is about 62 years old.
The President of the General Assembly
Ambassador Arenales is the Foreign Minister of Guatemala and is in
his mid-40's. He is courageous and friendly to the US. He has had
recent brain surgery so his head is still shaved, showing a bad scar. He
made a fantastic recovery and demonstrated great devotion to duty. He was
back on the podium within days of his operation. You may wish to compliment
him on his quick recovery and rapid return to duty.
The Under Secretary General
Mr. Bunche is the senior US citizen at the UN. He is a Nobel Peace Prize
winner for his work in the Middle East. He is now in relatively poor health
and beginning to show signs of age. His eyesight is particularly bad.

Ambassador Murphy called and said:
I thought the Boss might be interested in these
things:
1. Saigon -- they are still hoping with what they
consider a very important meeting (the White House) on Sunday
that they can clinch it on Monday.
BUT a secondary source came to me with very gloomy
predictions that the new position was such a shock to the Vietnamese
that they could not believe that the Administration really meant it
-- it has provoked quite a ground swell and he feels it could even
explode into a coup.

in these things:
"1. Saigon -- they are still hoping - they
feel with the important meeting being held on Sunday might
make it possible to clinch this on Monday. (They, being the
White House).
2. BUT, a secondary source came to me with
very gloomy predictions that the new position was such a shock
to the Vietnamese that they could not believe that the Administration
really meant it. It has provoked quite a ground swell and this party
(fairly reliable) feels it could even expl ode into a coup."
NOTE: "Boss" was his phrase.
Ambassador Murphy is going down to Washington tonight and will
be in the office at State on Saturday and Monday and Tuesday -- evenings
and Sunday we can reach him at his home -- RA 3-5261 (unlisted).
Ambassador Murphy to rmw:
"They couldn't have been nicer. They gave me an office next
to Dean Rusk. Bill Leonhart to help me -- they can relay either directly
to your office over there or to me anything about which RMN should be
alerted on an emergency basis so that they can keep him informed.
"Rostow just called about Joe Fowler and the others who are over

French Marc, et .

two of them Prime Minister of Iran will be on an official visit here December
5. Ruler of Couie - - Middle Eastern State will be here.
Mention it to the Boss -- what does he want to do?
Wire from Bob Anderson in Cairo -- the first batch of telegrams
was sent up to Dwight Chapin to get RMN's approval.
rmw said -- we thought you were going to reply to all of those
letters. Murphy said yes, I left word we would handle those. For example,
Nasser in Cairo is very sensitive -- but he sent a very warm friendly
message on the 7th of November. Saturday morning
I had this rocket from Bob Anderson that Nassar was upset that - -

We handled it.
Leonhart is handling all of those -- go ahead and answer them

HARLOW
On November 29 Ambassador Murphy advised me:
1. Both Tommy Thompson and Chip Bolen have resigned.
2. He has learned of exceedingly interesting remarks about you
by Mr. Dobrynin.
3. Vance is willing to stay on in Paris for only a month or SO.
It is believed, however, that this period could perhaps be
extended if RN could personally request of Vance's law firm
an extension. Murphy has more information on this.
4. Harriman arrives in the United States on Sunday, December 1,
and will be in Washington Monday through Thursday. It is
not unlikely that he will request to visit you as he comes
through New York enroute back to Paris.

FROM: Robert Murphy
December 19, 1968
Bill:
From a visit yesterday of the Japanese Ambassador in Washing-
ton, and a visit today of Mr. Harry Kern, a Japanese specialist,
it appears that while Prime Minister Sato is agreeable to postpon-
ing his own visit to the United States until Fall of 1969, there
is a desire on Sato's part to send his brother Kishi to Washington
fairly early in 1969. The urgent question in Sato's thinking
apparently is Okinawa.
I have urged on both Shimoda and Kern the value of a little
patience at this stage to permit the new Administration a reason-
able time to study and reflect on the Okinawa and other issues
prominent in Japanese mind. Mr. Kern urges some haste and asserts
that Ambassador Johnson shares that view.

Bill:
The Japanese Ambassador Takeso Shimoda called on me today
at his request.
He said that Prime Minister Sato is eager to visit President-
Elect Nixon soon but in deference to the many burdens of the early
months of the new Administration, Sato would plan a visit to
Washington in the autumn of 1969. I expressed appreciation of his
thoughtfulness and the hope that suitable arrangements would be
possible for that time.
For your information also, we had a brief discussion of the
subjects listed in the attached memorandum which the Ambassador
left with me.

Dear Mr. President:
Political pundits think I have a good chance four years from now. Since
you won't be running for office, I would appreciate your opinion, off
the record.
Some Republicans think my chances are as slim as being hired as the
Director of Water Safety. Since I never was able to tread water, I
would like to come to a quick decision.
I realize how busy you are, but if you give this matter some thought,
perhaps we can get together for a quiet weekend at Chappaquidick.
Perhaps we could have a homey family barbeque, with just a few
of my personal friends, and you.

Dear Comrade President:
The people of the Soviet Union are still expressing their deep appreciation
for your visit to our nation. You made many friends here, and contributed
strongly to the peaceful ties between our two great nations.
If I may, I would like to ask a favor, Comrade President. You were
very generous to give me a gift of a Cadillac manufactured in America.
While it is beautiful, fashionable, and a fine car, like all machines,
it has some faults and problems.
Therefore, would you be kind enough to send me three new bearings,
three hub caps, one gasket, the appropriate manifold, one spare tire,
an extra left turn signal (we don't turn to the right here), six spark
plugs, and extra keys.
If there is any cost for these mechanical parts, please add it on to the
amount of money the Soviet Union presently owes the U.S.A.

Somewhere along the line I guess I made some mistakes, blew my top

that together we can go forward hand in hand in leading the American

Please be assured you have my 1000 percent support in the same

inflation you might even get my 2000 percent support. Not guaranteed,
mind you. Guarantees I reserve only for our great citizenry.

Dear George:
I am up at Camp David working on my
Acceptance Speech and while I am waiting
for another draft to be typed up I am try-
ing to catch up on some of my correspon-
dence.
Tom Pappas has told me has has asked for
your assistance in organizing a group of
nationwide Heritage Dinners, and I certainly
hope it is going to be possible for you to
lend your very considerable support to this
program.
In any event, whether you can participate or
not in this program, you may be sure that I
am most grateful for all the support you have
given me in the past.
With warm personal regards,
Sincerely,
Honorable George Christopher

Dear George:
Tom Pappas and Maur Stans have spoken to me most
enthusiastically about your interest in the 1972 campaign.
I appreciate all the fine help you have given me in
the past and look forward to having you join our team again
this year.
Tom tells me he has asked your assistance in organizing
a group of nationwide Heritage Dinners, and I wholeheartedly
endorse his suggestion. This is an area in which you can
make a very significant contribution.
Best wishes.
