Dear Mr. Calloway:
Thank you for inviting CIA Director William J. Casey to attend
the black tie dinner at the Eliot House at Harvard University on
May 10th.
Mr. Casey has asked me to convey his regrets. Due to a change
in the Director's schedule, he must decline the honor.
Sincerely,
George V. Lauder

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: George V. Lauder
Director, Public Affairs Office
SUBJECT: Invitation to Attend a Dinner at
Harvard University
1. Action Requested: Accept or decline an invitation to
attend a dinner at the Eliot House, Harvard University, in
Cambridge, Massachusetts on Saturday, 10 May. Cocktails will begin
at 7:00 p.m. and black tie dinner at 8:30 p.m.
2. Background: Mr. John Calloway, a second year student at
the Harvard Law cool, has invited you and Mrs. Casey to attend a
dinner for approximately 40 guests which would include
representatives from the different professional schools at Harvard,
Senior Fellows, Junior Fellows, leading industrialists, government
officials, and approximately 20 of the most talented undergraduate
students from the University. An ad hoc committee from the
University put the meeting together as an opportunity for talented
undergraduate students to meet with distinguished academicians,
industrialists, and senior government officials. Mr. Calloway said
that the students are from prominent families and are interested in
CIA. According to Mr. Calloway, this is the first time a dinner
meeting of this nature has been attempted and no one will be called
upon to make any speeches. The University thought it was a novel
idea worth trying.
President and Mrs.. Derek C. Bok, Harvard Business School
Professor George Cabot Lodge, International Law Professor Arthur Van
Mehren, Republican Party Chief Council Roger Allen Moore, MIT Nobel
Laureate Franco Modigliani, and Fiat President Gianni Agnelli will
be present. Paul Mellon and Katherine Graham may attend. Those who
have declined the invitation are Caspar Weinberger,
David Rockefeller and Ed Meese.

SUBJECT: Invitation to Attend a Dinner at
Harvard University
(Harvard is sending) (from the
JFK School of Government, to participate in your Dean's Meeting at
the Headquarters Building on 14 April.)
3. Recommendation: None. Mr. Calloway is an imaginative
young man to put this meeting together with such a prestigious
group. Due to the homosexual issue, however, CIA's relationship has
not been the best with Harvard Law School. Although the dinner is
not primarily for the law school, this problem could arise during
discussion. As you are aware, you are accepting an honorary degree
from Long Island University on Sunday, May 11th; hence, an
additional event would make a tight schedule. Please indicate your
preference below and Public Affairs will make the appropriate
response.

Dear Mr. Casey,
Greetings from the Harvard Law School! I would
like to take this opportunity to extend to you an
invitation to a black tie dinner at Harvard's
Society of Fellows on Saturday, May 10. Cocktails
will begin at 7:00 pm and dinner at 8:30.
The dinner party will consist of about forty
guests including various Harvard officials and
professors such as the President and Mrs. Derek C.
Bok, MIT Nobel Laureate Franco Modigliani, various
captains of industry, and about thirty Harvard
upperclassmen.
Although no one will be called upon to make
any speeches, it is to be hoped that the evening
will provide for a pleasant environment in which
to chat with Harvard students who share mutual
interests with distinguished guests such as your-
selves.
With these sentiments in mind, it would
indeed be an honor to be able to include you as
a guest. Until then,
JLC/sb.
