I don't know anything about future publication plans, but there's a short
excerpt from Heidegger's handwritten notes on EJ's book "Der Arbeiter"
reproduced in Heimo Schwilk's anthology "Ernst Juenger - Leben und Werk in
Bildern und Texten" (p.131, Klett-Cotta, 1988).

English-speaking readers should also be aware that there is an English
translation of Heidegger's contribution to the "Festschrift fuer Ernst
Juenger" from 1955, originally titled "Ueber 'die Linie'", but later renamed
as "Zur Seinsfrage". This essay deals with Juenger's analysis of nihilism
and comes in the form of a letter from Heidegger to Juenger ("Dear Mr.
Juenger, ..."). The title of the English translation is "The Question of
Being" (NCUP, 1958, ISBN 0-8084-0258-7). As far as I know the book is still
in print (I got
my copy 2 or 3 years ago).
