TO:
HENRY A. KISSINGER~
FROM:
DAVID BRUCE
Regarding your visit.here:
1. It would be the greatest pleasure for Evangeline and
me if you would stay at the embassy residence. Your security
people, however, should be consulted and will, I fear, object.
.No windows or doors in our house are now equipped with
effective locks, and are generally open all night. Easy
access to a completely unfurnished ground floor cannot be
prevented by PRC soldiers stationed at outside gate, or by
our Marine guards in office building. Under existing conditions
it is impossible to remedy this situation before autumn. Since
you will undoubtedly be asked to stay in a government guest
house I reluctantly suggest you do so.
2. Concerning Liaison Office participation I think it extremely
important for future standing and usefullness of this mission
to have Jenkins, Holdridge and myself attend as many meetings
as practicable. If it seemed preferable we could rotate the
three in some fashion. I believe the Chinese would welcome
this, for it would be convenient for them in connection with
inevitable follow up conversations after your departure.
Moreover, it would be taken as a sign of your confidence in our
personnel.
3. As to return banquet your last night in Peking I am sure
you should invite Chou En-lai, giving him as much advance
notice as you can of approximate date so that he will not
entangle himself in a prior engagement.
4. We will gladly supply any secretarial or logistical
support your party may require.
5. Your trip is eagerly awaited by all of us, as well as by
high Chinese officials who refer to it with enthusiasm.
Warm Regards. END OF MESSAGE
