Irish-born Israeli politician who served as president from 1983–1993. A staunch defender of Israeli security, he established his political reputation as a military intelligence leader during the Six-Day War (1967). Two TLSs, both signed “Vivian,” from Herzog to Senator Daniel P. Moynihan, both one page, 8.25 x 11.5, dated 1984 and 1995. The letter from 1984 reads, in part: “The more people like Jean [Kirkpatrick] and yourself speak out and attack the United Nations, the better chance we have of stopping the rot and of putting paid to the Soviet campaign. I hope that your withdrawal from Unesco will awaken people to the realities. In this connection I was very interested to read an editorial in the Economist asking why the British Government had not had the initiative to take similar steps in Unesco.” In fine condition, with some office stamps and notations to edges.
