J~~ \ ~~ (Eyes Only Attachment) ~ September 15, 1971 MEMORANDUM FUR MR. KISSINGER F12;OM: Helmut Sonnenfeldt SUBJECT: Axzzbassador Watson has sent you a message (Tab A) advising you that a group of 13 young French Deputies will be in the US October 3-12, (They will be in Washington October 3-7 and then return on October 10 or 11 after visiting some Congressional districts. ) This is the third round of a very successful exchange program sponsored by the Ford Foundation. Ambassador Watson considers that this is a worthy group which is beginning to make its political weight felt in the lower hawse, I understand informally from State that the group has several really fine people, all forty or younger. Ambassador Watson urges you to meet with them, He does not urge that the President meet with the group, though he suggests, that perhaps they could be invited to a White House function to enable them at least to get a glimpse of the President. The leadership on the US side four this group has come from Congressmen Riegle and Foley; Axr~.bassadar Watson understands that they will ask you to receive the group and perhaps arrange a call on the President. Jahn, Lehman points out that these particular Congressmen should under no circumstances be invited auto the White House grounds (they are active in the "dump Nixon" campaign). Thus, if you wish to receive the group of French Deputies without Congressional involvement) as Ambassador Watson urges, it would be well to do so through State prior to any request from the Congressmen. 1. That you agree to rECeive the group of 13 DEputies, and that this be arranged through State. ,~ Approve Date /Time ~~ c,.,r Disagprove ~y7.1 S ~J~a 2.1 .! ks'~ *a (Eyes Only Attachment) DOS, NSS, Review Completed. , No Objection to Declassification in Part 2012/04/23 : LOC-HAK-16-5-61-1 No Objection to Declassification in Part 2012/04/23 : LOC-HAK-16-5-61-1 CONFIDENTIAL -2- 2.
