Dear Mr. Casey:
86' 3628X/1
Please consider this your formal invitation to join us as a participant at
the "International Conference on Terrorism," September 26 - 27, 1986, in
Washington, D.C. Our underwriters, the Times Mirror Company, and we here at
Columbia would be honored if you would attend. Here are the details.
The proceedings will be videotaped in the Caucus Room of the Russell Senate
Office Building. You know our format: We place a dozen people around a
horseshoe-shaped table and engage them in a Socratic dialogue concerning
hypothetical cases. The goal of our moderators, Professors Arthur Miller and
Charles Nesson of Harvard Law School and Harold Evans, editorial director of
U.S. News and World Report, is to get professionals of varying
disciplines--law enforcement officials, policymakers, legislators,
journalists--to talk to each other instead of past each other. We try to
make the agony of decision-making so intense, you can escape only by
thinking.
The hypothetical case studies we will explore in the Senate Caucus Room, the
arena of so many important debates in our nation's history, center on several
key questions. How can one nation react to the terrorism perpetrated by
another nation? When individual Americans are threatened abroad, how can our
government and our institutions take action? How can our law enforcement
officials respond to domestic terrorism?
Among those joining you at the conference will be Morris Leibman; FBI
Director William Webster; Senator Arlen Specter; Judge Abraham Sofaer, the
State Department's legal adviser; ABC anchorman Peter Jennings; James Hoge,
publisher of the New York Daily News; General Edward C. Meyer; the former
Prime Minister of Great Britain, Sir Edward Heath; Denis Healey, Member of
the British Parliament; Sir Kenneth Newman, commissioner of the New Scotland
Yard; Tom Wicker of the New York Times; and many other pivotal professionals
who share your deep concern about this issue.
You will be hearing from us again before the conference. In the meantime, I
hope you and Mrs. Casey have marked the dates on your calendars. We will, of
course, cover all expenses for both of you. We would be pleased to have you
stay as our guests at the Madison Hotel in Washington on Friday night,
September 26. There will be a reception and dinner that evening hosted by the
Times Mirror Company.

Mr. Casey, as you well know, few issues concerning our national interest
rival terrorism in urgency. You are eminently qualified to help us explore
these questions and I want you to know how vital we consider your
participation. I can promise you a stimulating and absorbing weekend. We
look forward to seeing you there.

Dear Mr. Casey:
I rushed to the ABA Convention at
the Sheraton this afternoon to hear
you speak only to discover that you'd
been detained in Washington. I enjoyed
listening to Mr. Allen, but I missed
hearing you.
All of which gives me the opportunity
to write to you to tell you again how
much my colleagues and I hope you will
be able to be with us for our conference
on terrorism on September 27th at the
Senate Caucus room.

Dear Mr. Casey:
We are looking forward to seeing you in Washington for the
taping of our "International Conference on Terrorism," on
Saturday, September 27, 1986.
The enclosed program contains not only the agenda for the
day, but also an impressive list of conferees; we are de-
lighted you are among them.
The four hypothetical case studies represent the starting
points for each of the seminars. The moderators will, of
course, add facts as that is the nature of the exercise.
The conference will be videotaped at the Senate Caucus Room
of the Russell Senate Office Building for broadcast in
January 1987 on PBS.
To assist us in the videotaping of the programs we request
that you not bring beepers or watches with audio signals
into the seminar room. We will be pleased to make arrangements
so that in an emergency you will be notified.
If you have any questions, please call my colleague, Barbara
Eddings, at 212/280-3666.
Regards,
Cynthia McFadden

Senate Office Building. Please note that the deadline for
return of the security questionnaire is September 15.
Among the many distinguished individuals who have accepted
our invitation to date are FBI Director William Webster;
Representative Patricia Schroeder; Senators Charles McC.
Mathias, Jeremiah Denton, William Cohen and Arlen Specter;
journalists Peter Jennings, Lesley Stahl, Larry Grossman,
Van Gordon Sauter, Tom Wicker and Jody Powell; from Great
Britain, former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath and Denis
Healey, M.P.; Israel's Representative to the United Nations

First Conference Session
"Incident in the Mediterranean: Rescue and Response"
Part I
Moderator: Arthur R. Miller
With the dollar up and airfares down, many Americans have
put aside their fears of terrorism to vacation in Europe.
One of this season's most popular destinations on the con-
tinent is the country of Tiberius, a democratic ally of the
United States. It is a country of ancient tradition and
contemporary charm which has captured much of the tourist
trade.
This morning, an Air Tiberius jet leaving the capital city
and bound for New York was hijacked. Flight 99 was diverted
to an airport in the Middle Eastern country of Cedaron, a
small nation devastated by civil war and lacking a stable
government. Among the one hundred passengers on board Flight
99 are 55 Americans and 25 Tiberius nationals. The remaining
passengers are from Great Britain, France, Canada, and other
countries.
Upon landing in Cedaron, the hijackers sent a message indi-
cating they are members of a heretofore unknown group called
"Brothers Loyal Unto Death," or BLUD. Their purpose, the
statement said, is to unite the "True Believers" of the
Middle East against the "Great Oppressor" -- the United
States, Israel, and their allies. Since the initial message,
there has been no communication from the hijackers and no
sign of action on the plane.

Part II
Moderator: Arthur R. Miller
With the resolution of the takeover of Air Tiberius Flight
99 two days ago, the mood in America is somber. In the days
since the hijacking, foreign travel has fallen sharply,
public discussion has become heated, and BLUD is on the
lips of almost everyone.
BLUD has remained silent and there have been no other major
terrorist incidents by any other groups.

Third Conference Session
"Violence in Northern Shamrock: Terrorism or Civil War?"
Moderator: Harold Evans
The Shamrock Liberation Armed Movement (SLAM) is a militant
group of Roman Catholics in Northern Shamrock. Northern
Shamrock is part of a commonwealth headed by the nation of
Great Ally. The Republic of Shamrock won its independence
from Great Ally 75 years ago.
SLAM has adopted such violent tactics as bombings and
ambushes in its fight for Northern Shamrock's independence
from Great Ally. Many civilians and an increasing number
of Allied soldiers have been killed in attacks for which
SLAM has claimed responsibility. In fact, a recent
bombing killed a high-level aide of the Allied Prime
Minister.
This morning a letter arrived in the office of the Allied
Prime Minister. It was signed by Kelly O'Dare, the chief
of SLAM's political wing. In part, the letter said that
SLAM wants to "put an end to the violence," and toward
that end the letter requested a private meeting between
O'Dare and the Prime Minister.

Fourth Conference Session
"Terror at Home: Challenges for a Free and Open Society"
Moderator: Charles R. Nesson
It is Friday morning in Metropolis and most of this
western city's 700,000 residents are going about their
morning routines. In the city parks department, activity
is at a fever pitch. In just three weeks Metropolis will
celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding and a
major festival is being planned.
Shortly after 9:00 a.m. Metropolis authorities receive
a phone call from a reliable informant. Information he
provides indicates that a violent attack will take place on
the Metro International Airport. The attack will be carried
out by members of DART (Destroy American Repression Today.)
DART is an unknown acronym and law enforcement files con-
tain no reference to any such group. Five years ago the
FBI put an end to a series of bombings perpetrated by
START (Stop American Repression Today), a Liberanian group.
Liberania is a Middle Eastern country ruled by a dictator.

WASHINGTON POST
3 September 1986
Fred Friendly, a former CBS News president
and keeper of the Edward R. Murrow flame, has
been getting under the skin of his old pals at the
network for some time ...
Last week, at the Radio and Television News
Directors Association convention in Utah, he
went so far as to say he was "embarrassed by
the financial appetites of the anchor stars and
their agents," and asked Tom Brokaw, Peter
Jennings, Mike Wallace, Dan Rather and Bar-
bara Walters "to volunteer a pay cut to provide
the salaries of able colleagues" .. .
And "for those skeptics who may whisper
'How come Murrow never did that?,' " Friendly
added, "Let me assure you that he did". . .
Yesterday, Don Hewitt, executive producer of
CBS' "60 Minutes" and something of a Murrow
scholar himself, dashed off a memo to those
anchors named by Friendly ...
"Fred Friendly," Hewitt wrote, "who is utterly
incapable of saying anything without invoking
the name Murrow, something he does almost as
often as Jerry Falwell invokes the name of God,
has now done it once too often and unbelievably
on the only subject on which Ed Murrow was
open to criticism . . . MONEY!". . .
Hewitt went on: "Mr. Friendly conveniently
neglected to inform his audience that back in the
1950s Mr. Murrow went to his agent (oh yes,
Murrow had an agent) and told him he couldn't
live as high on the hog as he wanted to on a
journalist's , Lary and made it clear that he was
ready to doff his Savile Row homburg for a
song-and-dance man's straw hat if that's what it
took to make big money. Maybe Friendly has
forgotten the outrageous things he once said
about Murrow's get-rich-quick role as the em-
cee of a prime-time entertainment show called
'Person to Person' (the original 'Life Styles of
the Rich and Famous') but there are still some
of us around who haven't forgotten. Nor have
we forgotten as Friendly apparently has (or
won't acknowledge) that Ed Murrow broke the
big bucks barrier for broadcast journalists long
before Barbara Walters ever dreamed of her
million dollars".. .
Neither Rather nor Brokaw would comment
yesterday on Friendly's suggestion. Jennings
told AP that "f polled the staff on 'World News
Tonight' and they thought it was a terrific idea"

Dear Mr. Casey:
86- 3628X
Thank you for spending so much time with Morris Leibman and me last Monday.
I hope your tentative judgment that you could attend and participate in our
seminar/television program on terrorism is now confirmed. The dates are
Friday evening, September 26 and Saturday, September 27 in Washington.
Assuming your response is positive, I direct you to the more formal letter
I've enclosed, which is really from the Times Mirror Corporation and all of
us at Columbia University; it explains all the details you and your staff
need to know. And if your reply to our invitation is indeed affirmative,
perhaps you would ask to call me or Natalie Paine in this office to
tell us that the dates are on your calendar.
Let me reaffirm that there will be no questions of a secret nature at the
seminar, and if there are any questions which the Director of the CIA feels
uncomfortable answering, you can simply so indicate. As Mr. Leibman and I
told you, this is a critically important seminar which will have far ranging
impact, and your presence would assure its success.
We're all looking forward to seeing you in September.
Mr. William J. Casey
