The Honorable Richard Helms
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C.
Last week I spent a day in Washington preparing for
a briefing of the new Cabinet. Both before going to
Washington, and while in the city, I called unmercifully
on your Agency for help. Everyone responded superbly.
I partimaarly want to thank you for the services
of
pnid a first-rate o or
WuzuA people to wor or me while in Washington;
the other three worked far into the night to get me maps
and to type my talking papers. They all deserve a vote
of praise and thanks.
Your Operations Center did a great job as well. No
matter what questions I threw at them, they were never
caught short.
I hope you will pass on my thanks to everyone concerned.
Warm regards,
Henry A. Kissinger
