Dear Mr. President:
I deeply appreciated your invitation of last September for a visit to Indonesia. It was regretfully not possible for me to accept at the time.
I definitely look forward to visiting your great country, however, and to the opportunity to understand your culture and your people better. I want to see with my own eyes the outstanding progress that you have made in lndonesia. But I ask your indulgence because my schedule will not permit me to make the trip in the near
Since our two countries share many common interests, and since we face a number of challenges that we could very usefully discuss, .would it be possible for you to visit the United States at a time convenient to you? I would hope that we could meet here some time this year to exchange views on matters of common concern and on the general world situation.
Sincerely,
His Excellency General Suharto President of the
Republic of lndone s ia Jakarta

Proposed Letter from You to Indonesian President Suharto Inviting Him for a State Visit
At Tab A is a draft letter from you to President Suharto inviting him to make the state visit here, which you have already approved in principle for some time this year.
Our Ambassador has already extended the invitation on your behalf. However, I recommend that we also extend the invitation in a personal letter since this personal touch would help improve our relations with Indonesia as well as the spirit of the visit.
As to the timing of the visit, it would seem best to do it just before or after President Suharto's visit to Canada this summer. We will be discussing this orally with the Indonesians and do not need to make any mention of it in the letter.
The draft letter of invitation has been coordinated with Mr. Paul Theis' office.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you sign the draft letter to President Suharto at Tab A.

President Ford for President Suharto:
Begin Quote: Dear Mr. President:
I deeply appreciated your invitation of last September for a visit to
Indonesia. It was regretfully not possible for me to accept at the
time.
I definitely look forward to visiting your great country, however, and
to the opportunity to understand your culture and your people better.
I want to see with my own eyes the outstanding progress that you have
made in Indonesia. But I ask your indulgence because my schedule
will not permit me to make the trip in the near future.
Since our two countries share many common interests, and since we
face a number of challenges that we could very usefully discuss,
would it be possible for you to visit the United States at a time
convenient to you? I would hope that we could meet here some time

this year to exchange views on matters of common concern and on the
general world situation. Sincerely, Gerald R. Ford End Text.
2. Please advise Minister Sudharmono we will review the President's
schedule to see what arrangements might be most convenient for a
meeting between the two Presidents. In the meantime, we would
welcome such advance information as the Indonesians may have on
President Suharto' s travel plans in .Tune and .July.
3. FYI. We appreciate your having taken the initiative to raise
President Ford's invitation with President Suharto before you received
this letter.
4. We will try to see whether arrangements outside Washington can
be made, but the President's schedule is very heavy and we do not I
see how a meeting outside o/a9.lington would save very much time for Suharto.
We had in mind asking President Suharto to stop in Washington on for a full state visit.
June 30 and July 1 or on July 7 and 8/ We could cut this schedule down
further and reduce the Washington time to such basics as an office
call and a working lunch or dinner. But one reason to have a Washing-
ton meeting would be the opportunity for ceremonial occasions such as
a state dinner that would, we should think, have a favorable impact in
Indonesia.
5. In determining our position, we would appreciate your estimate
of the Indonesian reaction if it proves infeasible to have a meeting

outside Washington, as well as your evaluation of the purpose behind
President Suharto's suggestion for such a meeting.
6. You may draw as you wish on paragraph 4 above during your
. conversation with Sudharmono if you think it would increase the
likelihood that Suharto would want to come to Washington, especially
if you believe that Suharto proposed another site because he did not
understand the nature of our invitation. End FYI.

W. R. SMYSERVJ~/<~»v Proposed Letter from the President to Indonesian President Suharto Inviting Him to Visit the U, S,
At Tab I is a draft memorandum from you to the President attaching a draft letter from the President to President Suharto inviting him to make a state visit to the U, S, The President has already approved in principle a state visit for Suharto sometime this year,
Given our current problems with Indonesia, I recommend that the President extend the invitation by personal letter, rather than verbally through Ambassador Newsom. This more personal touch would be useful in light of our severe cut in economic aid to Indonesia this year and Indonesian doubts about our willingness to persist in Indochina, Our major objective during his visit here will be to bolster his confidence in our intentions towards Indonesia, and toward Southeast Asia generally,
As to the timing of the visit, President Suharto plans a trip for next summer to Western Europe and then to Canada. I recommend that we instruct Ambassador Newsom to propose to Suharto verbally, when he delivers the President's letter, that Suharto make his visit to the U, S, just before or after his visit to Canada, which is now tentatively scheduled for July 2-6, I believe his timing should be suggested verbally, in order not to give Suharto the feeling that we are pressing this particular time on him,
The draft letter of invitation has been coordinated with Mr. Paul Theis' office,

MEMORANDUM FOR:

SUBJECT:

ACTION (971)
THE PRESIDENT
HENRY A. KISSINGER
Proposed Letter from. You to Indonesian President. Suharto Inviting Him for a State Visit
You will recall yOUJ' earlier decision Ill principle to bwite President Suharto ol Indonesia to make a State visit to the U.S. At Tab A is a draft letter from you to President Suharto which fonnally tenders that invitation at a time to be decided later~
Gwen our current problema with Indonesia, I recomxneud tbat you extend the invitation iDa personal letter, rather than verbally through our Ambassador in Jakarta. Thi e more personal touch would be uaeful in light of our severe cut in economic aid to Indonesia this year and Indonesian doubts about our willingness to. persist in Indochina. Our major objective durin• hie visit here will be to bolster hi8 confidence in our intentione towards Indonesia, and toward Southeast Asia generaUy.
Aa to the timing of the visit. Pre.sident Subarto plana a trip for next summer to Western Europe and then to Canada.. 1 recrmunend that we :lnatruct our Ambaasador in Jakarta to propose to Suharto verbally, when he delivers your letter, that Sult.arto make his visit to the U.S. ju.at before or after his visit to CaD&da., which ie now tentatively acheduled for July 2-6~ 1 believe his timing should be suggested verbally, in order not to give Subarto the impreaaion that we are preaaing this particular time on him.
The draft letter of bwitation baa been coordinated with Mr. Theis' office.
