Walter Kissinger/Mr. Kissinger
5:15 p.m., March 1, 1973
WK:
Listen, thank you for that card from Peking. Did you ever send
one to our friend, Al Gordon.
HK:
From Hanoi.
WK:
You did!
HK:
Yeah, but a lot of those cards never arrived.
WK:
Right. You know who Alis?
HK:
Yeah, I know who he is. He's an investment broker or something.
WK:
Oh, no, why he's the Chairman of the biggest investment bank in
New York.
HK:
Oh, bank. I thought he was an investment --
WK:
No, no.
HK:
No, I know him. He was head of the Harvard Club group.
WK:
That's right. And he's a great admirer of yours and I guess when
Nixon was in Peking, he sent a postcard to a friend of his and the
guy has been pulling his leg.
HK:
No, I sent him one from Hanoi. If you had told me from Peking,
it would been guaranteed to arrive.
WK:
That's fine. He'll be thrilled and I appreciate it.
HK:
Well, I'm not sure he'll get it because a lot of people I sent cards to
from Hanoi didn't get them.
WK:
Right. And he's really a guy you ought to at some point if you think
about anything in industry, I'd like you to chat with. You know he's
on the Board of Overseers at Harvard?
HK:
I know. I think very highly of him.
WK:
He's a very fine guy. He's on my Board and he's a first-rate guy.
HK:
No, I think very highly of him.
