THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 1, 1977 MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT FROM: PETER BOURNE f. 8 · SUBJECT: MESSAGE FROM ANDY YOUNG Mary called me from the Desertification Conference in Nairobi where she had dinner last night with Andy Young. Andy wanted me to pass on to you that his call to you earlier this week from South Africa was a "game" for the benefit of the people listening on the tapped phone he called you on. He said he hoped you realized this and to tell you that the answers you gave were perfect in terms of what he wanted them to hear. PGB:ss DECLASSIFIED E.O. 1 3 6, Sec. 3.4 b...

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA APO San Francisco 96404 September 1, 1977 Mr. President: You'll be glad to learn that your Ambassadors to Australia are on station. Also, that we are enjoying ourselves. Elkin is redecorating our Residence (she says that some aspects of it remind her of a funeral home) and she is replanting the yard. She is fully unpacked and at home. Have just returned from a week in Queensland. Now we have made official visits to all States except Tasmania and as well to the Northern Territory. We have discovered an immense reservoir of goodwill toward our country, and you have a solid constituency. There is great interest in what you are up to. State Government here is important. Premiers I have met are strong and with one exception pro-U.S.A. I am particularly impressed with Premiers Dick Hamer of Victoria, Charles Court of Western Australia and Joh. Bjelke-Petersen of Queensland. The Governors are said to serve ceremonial purposes, but I feel they are a bit more important than that. Each one I have met has had a distinguished career in his country's service. Elkin joins in love to you, the First Lady and your entire family. You have me situated a long way from home, but it is my sense of things that you are doing well. We are proud to represent you. lllctn 111111 Copr M8de ...

Rick Hutcheson RE: HUMAN RIGHTS RANKINGS: FOR YOUR GENERAL READING I "; ME\10RANDL'M THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 31, 1977 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI SUBJECT: Human .Rights Rankings: For Your General Reading The enclosed two tables may be of interest, even if they are somewhat schematic. They represent a serious attempt to assess the degree to which various nations of the world are free or unfree in terms of their domestic political and civil rights. The way these rankings were com piled is explained in the attached text. The most important change since these rankings were compiled is the return of india to category 1 in both political and civil rights; with rising sensitivity to the human rights issue, some other countries may also show in~provements by the end of this year. vn 9 Table of Nations l'olitica!
