Dear Phil:
Many thanks for your letter of 5 February, and I think it is
a terrific idea.
You may recall the informal arrangements you had made
for me many months ago so that t could read the weekly Chief of
Staff's summaries. I went over one day and read a number of
them but have never got back again. It is just that the exigencies
of my current assignment make it extremely difficult.
I regret that I will not be able to make the meeting on
20 February but will look forward to reading the script at a later
date.
Many thanks again for thinking of me.
Faithfully yours.
/s/

We have been receiving an increasing number of requests from
Army officers who are serving in key positions with agencies other
than the Department of the Army asking for more information on
current major Army projects and actions.
As a partial solution to these requests, we are going to present
a series of briefings as significant actions or issues develop. These
briefings will provide information on projects, studies or actions
underway in the Army, but will not be parochial in nature nor be
aimed at establishing a "party line." They will normally be of about
an hour's duration, with some 30 minutes allotted for questions, and
will be as objective and professional as it is possible to make them.
In order that this information can be made available to the maximum
number of Army officers who are fully occupied in their current duty
assignments, the briefings will be scheduled on Saturday mornings,
with attendance on a strictly voluntary basis.
In this connection, I should like to invite you to attend our initial
briefing session which will be presented at 0900 hours on 20 February
in Room 5A-1070, the Pentagon, and will consist of the following:
Army's Role in Stability Operations
Army's Readiness Program
STEP
NIKE X
Reserve Component Realignment
Panel Discussion
please inform my project officer, Major McEnery, at extension 59914

tions, you are welcome to read the scripts which will be maintained in
