Dear Jonathan:<BR>
<BR>
          As I mentioned in my voice mail of last evening, I represent 
Dr. Henry A. Kissinger. Dr. Kissinger gave me a copy of your letter 
to him on behalf of your client Christopher Hitchens.<BR>
<BR>
          Since the basic issue between Dr. Kissinger and Mr. Hitchens 
concerns the campaign of accusations against Dr. Kissinger launched 
by Mr. Hitchens, Dr. Kissinger has no intention of repeating his 
comment about Mr. Hitchens' views on the Holocaust.<BR>
<BR>
          That said, your letter offers to provide "the factual details" 
regarding Mr. Hitchens' position. In the hope of resolving this matter, 
I am prepared to review that material if you will provide it to me. Dr. 
Kissinger is prepared to amend his initial statement if the evidence 
indicates that he has misinterpreted Mr. Hitchens' position.<BR>
<BR>
                                        Sincerely yours,<BR>
                                        Stuart W. Gold<BR>
