Dear Mr. Schuyler:
Schuyler, Mr. George S.
This is just a note to thank you for your letter of
July 23 describing the program of the International Assistance
Foundation.
I have long supported increased participation by pri-
vate enterprise in the efforts of newly developing nations to
raise their standards of living and it is my hope that your pro-
gram will help achieve this goal. I am also glad to see that
you have established the necessary liaison with the International
Cooperation Administration for such assistance as the Govern-
ment may be able to extend.
While I greatly appreciate the invitation you extended
for me to become a Director of your Foundation, 1 have found
it necessary to decline affiliation with any additional organiza-
tions with the exception of those specifically inbumbent upon my
office. However, I hope you will keep me advised as to your
progress, and I would like to take this opportunity to extend my
very best wishes to you and your associates for the success of
your adeavor.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Schuyler:
On behalf of the Vice President I wish to acknowledge your

letter of May 18 concerning the possibility of assistance to your
daughter for a Far Eastern tour.
The Department of State informs me that the only Govern-
ment program (outside of entertainment for our armed services
abroad) offering assistance to performing artists is the President's
Special International Program for Cultural Presentations. Requests
for assistance under the President's Program should be addressed
directly to the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA),
1545 Broadway, New York 36, New York, which is the Department's
6/6/58
agent in the administration of the program.
All proposals for assistance receive careful consideration
in the light of the many factors that must enter into the final decision
to support an artist or group. The Department is doubtful, however,
whether Miss Schuyler can be assisted with her Far Eastern tour
since our posts in Asia have requested that for the present, priority
be given in the President's Program to attractions having visual ap-
peal, such as dance groups and theatrical performers. The fact that
Miss Schuyler has aleeady been given sponsorship on two previous

occasions would also be a factor in determining whether she could be
assisted with her Far Eastern tour. The Department's general policy
is to limit the assistance granted to any one individual.
I know that the Vice President would want me to extend to
you his best wishes and appreciation for your generous comments.
Sincerely,

New York, New York
May 18th, 1958
The Honorable Mr. Richard B. Nixon,
Vice-President of the United States
Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Nixon:
We have followed your career with admiration
for many years. We are especially impressed by the dignity
and courage you recently displayed in South America.
We have always felt that you are not only a
great Vice-President, but everyone's good neighbor. Mr.
Schuyler has frequently written columns praising your con-
duct through the years. Forgive me, if I now presume upon
your good nature to ask a personal favor.
Knowing of your interest in Africa, we hope it
might interest you to learn that our daughter, Philippa, has
just returned from the most extensive tour of that continent
ever made by an American artist, visiting twelve nations, and
giving concerts in small as well as large cities. On the trip,
she was the guest of the different governments and was enter-
tained by Emperor Haile Selassie, Prince Sahle Selassie, the
Kabaka of Baganda, Mutesa 11; the Asantehene, Prempeh 11, of
the Ashanti; Prime Minister Nkrumah, President Tubman, and the
Prime Ministers of French Africa, the Sudan Republic, and the
leading chiefs of Nigeria; and the Princess Lalla Aicha of Mo-
rocco, eldest daughter of the Sultan.
The people of Africa were impressed by the fact
that she was of colored ancestry, spoke French and Spanish
fluently, and understood Arabic culture. They are very serious
about education, and they were proud to know that she had been
a prodigy in her childhood, reading and writing at two, and com-
posing for symphony orchestra at twelve. In each land, she met
the university students, for she performed at the universities.
Philippa has now been invited to the Far East and
this is our problem. They also want her at the universities and
the distances are so great there we do not know if we can afford
to do it without some help. We hesitate to ask ANTA to help be-
cause before her African trip, we asked them to help her go to
three countries she could not go to otherwise and they refused.
They had previously bought two tourist tickets for her: one to
Argentine, where she appeared in three Gershwin Festivals at the
Colon Theater in SRO performances just as the Anti-Peron revolt
started; and one to Addis Ababa from Amsterdam for the Silver (1955)
anniversary of Emperor Haile Selassie who decorated her and had
her at the Palace for a Command Performance. These two tourist
tickets cost around $1300; and that seems to be all they want to do.
Since the youth of the darker nations are eager to
have her, would you be so kind as to tell us if there are any
other agencies? Begging forgiveness for this intrusion, respectfully,

MAR 27197
Dear Mr. Nixon:
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
It was very heartening to read press reports of
your statement concerning the necessity of the United States
being officially represented in the new African countries by
capable persons sympathetic to the aspirations of the African
people. Editorially and otherwise I have been advocating the
same thing ever since the Republican Administration took over
in 1953, and have long felt that well-trained U.S. Negroes
could admirably serve the United States in this touchy sector.
There are many American Negroes who by training
and temperament are qualified to serve as ambassadors and con-
suls in the new Africa, and I should like to take this oppor-
tunity to recommend one man whom I regard as eminently fitted
for West Coast service. I refer to Attorney Theodore O. Asare,
Apartment 51, 562 West 148th Street, New York, N.Y.
A man of 50 years, Attorney Asare was born in the
Gold Coast (Ghana) and has been an American citizen for some
30 years. Partially educated in the Gold Coast, he has degrees
from the University of Michigan (A.B.& M.A.) and MaGill Univ-
ersity (Bachelor of Civil Law), and was admitted to the bar in
this state in 1944. He has represented many American firms in
America and West Africa. He speaks French and many African dia-
lects. He has represented the people of Togoland at the U.N.,
and since 1954 has been general counsel of the Trust territory
of the French Cameroons.
Widely traveled in West Africa, Mr. Asare is per-
sonally acquainted with all of the top political leaders of
West Africa, and for this reason alone would be most helpful in
cementing better relations between the United States and West
Africa.
I feel very strongly that it is such Americans who
should now be called upon to render a serice to the United States
in the African area, and I ask for him every consideration in
this connection.
Sincerely

OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
The Capitol,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Nixon:
The other evening when you delivered one of your
319 campaign speeches, I had the pleasure of hearing your
remarks at the Hotel Theresa, and I want to tell you that
it was a model of its kind and extremely well received.
For days the Democrats had denigrated, traduced and villi-
fied you almost to the exclusion of President Eisenhower
and N.Y. Attorney General Javits, but your calm and effec-
tive address stole their ammunition.
Indeed, you confounded your enemies (not all Demo-
crats, incidentally) by your talks over the country which
were everywhere on such a high level that those who heard
you were left wondering why the vitriolic attacks upon you.
I have sought to enlighten the public in my small way but
of course it is always difficult for the truth to catch up
with the lies, no matter how many thousands are reached.
Now, on the eve of election, I am convinced that
there is going to be a Republican sweep, most certainly by
President Eisenhower and you, and probably by the rest of
the ticket. But if by some unpredictable fluke defeat
should come, it would by no means alter the fact that this
Administration has given the nation four years of excellent
government and, to an extent unprecedented since 1932, has
sincerely sought to carry out its platform and campaign
pledges. I believe it is for this reason that so many
thoughtful Negroes disillusioned by twenty years of unful-
filled New-Fair Deal pledges are going to return to the
Republican fold tomorrow.
I feel that your star is in the ascendency, and
that whatever the election results may be tomorrow, you
are destined to do greater honor to the nation with your
forthrightness, sincerity, patriotism and ability.
Sincerely yours

On the eve of our Party's National Convention,
I wish to extend to you my very best wishes and to express the
