3. I have tentatively arranged to go to New Haven on
Sunday, May 2l, to speak at the Sunday evening meeting of my Society.
This will be a completely closed session with none but members present.
I will give an oral run-down on the issues and problems in Vietnam and
then answer questions from the assembled members.
4. Though you have already given in principle approval to my
participation in these two exercises, I do want to touch base one final
time before embarking on either.
