1. The Research and Engineering Support Division of the Institute
for Defense Analyses (IDA) is working on the problem of language in human
communications, particularly as related to crisis management. To demon-
strate the essentiality of precise use of language in effective human com-
munications, IDA has analyzed the events leading up to the attack on Pearl
Harbor. This analysis has been translated into an oral and visual presentation
of approximately 45 minutes duration. Arrangements have been made for Dr.
Thowas G. Belden of IDA to present the Pearl Harbor analysis in the auditorium
142 on :44 May at 1030 hours.
2. The relevance of the subject matter to the Agency reporting and
dissemination responsibilities, especially as related to the national command
structure,warrants attendance by senior personnel throughout the Agency.
Dr. Belden advises against too large an audience; therefore, each Directorate
is limited to twenty-five spaces for this initial presentation, and each inde-
pendent office may determine its own requirements.
3. The title of Dr. Belden's presentation is "Pearl Harbor: A
