FOLLOWING IS TEXT OF LETTER DATED MARCH 9, 1972, TO
PRESIDENT NIXON FROM KING BIRENDRA OF NEPAL
QUOTE DEAR MR. PRESIDENT, A COPY OF THE THIRD ANNUAL REVIEW
OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY SENT BY YOU WITH YOUR LETTER OF
FEBRUARY 16 1972 HAS REACHED ME AND I AM WRITING TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN SENDING IT. SINCE YOU HAVE
BEEN SO KIND AS TO SHARE YOUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON INTER-
NATIONAL AFFAIRS, I AM TAKING THE LIBERTY OF EXPRESSING TO
YOU SOME OF MY OWN VIEWS. AS YOU ARE AWARE, THE KINGDOM
OF NEPAL IS A LANDLOCKED COUNTRY AND CONSEQUENTLY FACES
SOME PROBLEMS OF TRANSIT, TRADE AND OTHER MATTERS WHICH
ARE PECULIAR TO IT. I ASSUME THAT WE *ILL ALWAYS HAVE
FRIENDLY AND SYMPATHETIC CONSIDERATION FROM YOU PERSONALLY
AS WELL AS FROM YOUR ADMINISTRATION IN THIS CONTEXT, I
MAY MENTION THAT MY GOVERNMENT AND I ARE OF THE OPINION
THAT CONTINUED INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE UNITED STATES
IN LINE WITH THE NIXON DOCTRINE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THIS PART
OF THE WORLD WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO THE STABILITY AND PRO-
GRESS OF THE WHOLE REGION. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN OUR TWO
