MEMORANDUM
TO:
Files
FROM:
Rose Mary Woods
Bryce Harlow called me on Sunday morning
and said:
"I have just come from my visit with DDE
which, as you know, was made at RN's request.
"DDE thinks it is vital that RN find some
way to express his earnest desire for a lasting peace in
the Middle East recognizing thatAmerica's interests embrace
both sides. What all Americans want thereis an enduring
peace both for the Israelis and the Arabs. DDE thinks RN
has been too much on the side of Israel in his public
statements. He is afraid RN might have a hard time living
with the Arabs afterwards if he doesn't do this.
"Also he feels that RN should at the earliest
opportunity have a chat with Bob Anderson about the Middle
East - he is the best informed person DDE knows on that area.
He has done work for DDE and Johnson with all Arab nations
and Israel.
"After the election, he thought RN might want
to do two things with Bob. Bob says he does not want a
position in Federal government but he said he knew Bob would
be willing to be, for example, Ambassador at Large to the
Middle East and meet separately with the different factions
- 2 -
and help RN there as he has done for otherPresidents.
"Also DDE thought RN might want to consult
with Bob on suggestions for Cabinet people. He said he
believed he had mentioned this to RN when he was in.
"He said he felt very badly that he was not
able to do more in the campaign - wishes RN all the success
in the world. If RN can think of anything he can do he will
be glad to do it.
"I was to ask him about writing a letter commending
RN on his position but just as I was about to bring that subject
up, the doctors chased me out of the room - my time was up.
However, since DDE said he would anything, I think we could
prepare a letter or statement and run it through Bob Schulz.
"I have a few more notes -- but those are the
ones you should get to RN. One other note -- DDE said as
we wonder around with Vietnam he stressed the fact that the
Middle East is going to hell in a handbag."
Bryce also mentioned that Bob Schulz thought
a letter should go from RN to It. General Leonard Heaton,
The Surgeon General of the Army, Washington, D.C., thanking
him for his offer to have a young Army doctor make the trip
(campaign) with us.
Schulz suggests this be sent to General Heaton
in an envelope to Schulz because he would imagine Heaton did
not want anyone to know of this offer.

MR. PRESIDENT:
One day last week Bob Abplanalp called me with
regard to the California trip. He said that both you and
Pat had mentioned their coming out there (apparently when
you all had dinner together in Florida).
Has anyone let him know that the trip is off -- or
should I call him and tell him ?

MR. PRESIDENT:
I talked with Bob Abplanalp concerning their
coming to California for dinner one night - and taking the
children to Disney Land, etc.
He said as long as you had given them an
option of coming now or in July - they would prefer July
because their daughter has already missed eleven days
of school this year and she should not miss anymore unless
she is ill.

Personal & Confidential
My dear Prime Minister:
Thank you so much for your thoughtful letter of
November 29, 1968, which Sir Patrick Dean was kind enough to
deliver.
It seems to me that in principle a target for our
meeting in Washington could well be the end of February or the
beginning of March. We could firm this up to a specific date
as soon as possible and depending on mutual convenience. I shall
be in touch with Sir Patrick Dean in the hope of arriving at
agreement as to the date as soon as practicable.
Needless to say, with the many problems affecting
your and my country in present circumstances I am most eager
to have the benefit of your visit and a thorough personal discussion.
I quite agree that the need for close understanding between us
remains of fundamental importance.
With warmest personal regards and the hope that this
finds you in excellent health, believe me
Yours sincerely,

Dear Rose Mary;
I mentioned to Mr. Nixon today the attached
letter of November 29, addressed to him by the British
Prime Minister Harold Wilson, and delivered to me by
British Ambassador Sir Patrick Dean, Sunday afternoon.
There is enclosed for typing in final form
in your office a suggested draft reply for Mr. Nixon,
subject of course to any changes or additions he may
wish. I read the draft to him today and he approved.
When he has signed the letter please send it
to Ambassador William Leonhart (S/NL) Department of
State, Washington, by courier, together with an extra
copy for Ambassador Dean's files.
Sincerely yours,
300

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
My dear Mw Mixon,
I am writing to thank you for the cordial
message which you were kind enough to ask Senator
Javits to convey to me. He spoke to me on the
telephone on Thanksgiving Day and I want you to
know how much I appreciate what he told me on
your behalf.
He said that you hoped it might be possible
for us to meet reasonably soon after your
Inauguration. I shall much look forward to this
and to the opportunity it will afford of a full
Declassified/Relessed.on 8-15-94
and far-reaching discussion between us of all the
under provisions of E.O. 12356
By J. Saunders, National Security Council
matters that are of common concern to our two
countries. It was heartening to have from
Senator Javits the confirmation of your own belief
in the community of interests between us. As you
know, my colleagues and I in the British Government
- 2 -
share this belief with the deepest conviction.
Senator Javits told me that it might be
convenient for you if I planned to visit you in
Washington towards the end of February or the
beginning of March of next year. I can, of course,
well understand that it will be difficult for you
to make any firm commitment to dates at present.
For my part, I will gladly come at whatever moment
proves mutually convenient to us both around that
time.
I am asking Sir Patrick Dean to convey this
letter to you. He will, of course, willingly keep
in touch with you and your staff during the coming
weeks SO that we may reach agreement as soon as
convenient on dates for our meeting.
The continuation of the close friendship and
co-operation between our two countries is, I believe,
cardinal to our joint search for international
understanding and advance. As we approach the
20th Anniversary of the Atlantic Alliance, with so
- 3 -
many of the basic issues between East and West,
North and South - and indeed within the Western
world itself - still uncertain and unresolved, the
need for this close understanding between us remains
as fundamental as it has ever been.
It is in this spirit that I shall look forward
not only to our first formal meeting after you
assume the great office which awaits you, but also
to a close and continuing relationship between us.
The issues at stake are too pressing and too
important for us to approach them in any other way.
With my warmest personal regards and best
wishes,
lows very sincerely,
Harold witson
The Honourable Richard M. Nixon.

Office of the President of the Philippines
Manila, P.I.
Dear President Marcos:
My friend Mr. Lew Burridge of Sterling Products Inter-
national delivered your kind letter to me a week ago.
After receiving your letter I had a long talk with
Ambassador Robert Murphy who is now personal represent-
ative of President-elect Nixon to the Johnson Administration
in the field of foreign affairs, and also my very good
friend Mr. Melvin Laird, the new Secretary of Defense.
I also talked with Mr. Tom Evans who is Special Political
Advisor to President-elect Nixon. At the meetings with
both Ambassador Murphy and Mr. Evans, Mr. Burridge was
present and I have asked Mr. Burridge to report to you
regarding these meetings.
I wish I could come out to see all my friends in Asia
after the Christmas holidays. However, it's the general
feeling that it would be better for me to make the trip
to Asia after the inauguration which is scheduled to be
held on January 20th. I will be talking to many people
concerning the Asian situation in the immediate future
before I come to visit with you. I hope I will be able
to make my trip in the first part of February.

MR. ROBERT MURPHY
President Marcos

Ambassador Murphy particularly wants me to write you
and to let you know that the new administration is very
much aware of the Asian situation and we treasure your
friendship and understanding.
I look forward to seeing you in the near future.
With warmest regards to you and Mrs. Marcos.
Most sincerely,
