On behalf of the Mid-America Committee, I would like to
congratulate you on your appointment as Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency, and take this opportunity to
extend a cordial invitation to address our chief executive
officers at a luncheon or breakfast briefing in Chicago.
For the past 21 years, the Mid-America Committee has served
as a major platform in the Chicago area for the exchange of
views on economic and political issues affecting America's
corporate community. Our membership is comprised of the top
three executives of over 125 multinational corporations and
financial institutions based in the Midwest. They are
extremely interested in hearing your views on the current
role of the CIA, and its effect on international business
and trade relations.
I assure you the Mid-America Committee offers one of the
most powerful and prestigious platforms of business leaders
in the Midwest. Our guests have included President & Mrs.
Gerald Ford, vice President George Bush, Secretary of State
George Shultz, Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick and The
Honorable Henry Kissinger. Other U.S. cabinet officials
have included Beryl Sprinkel, Caspar Weinberger, John
Herrington, Clayton Yeutter, Richard Lyng, Malcolm Baldrige,
William Brock, as well as your predecessor, William Casey.
For your information, enclosed is background material on the
Mid-America Committee, which includes a list of the
dignitaries we have had the privilege of recently hosting,
as well as our member corporations.

''The spirit is alive. It's living and is embodied perfectly in the Bishop

Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva will be a success because of "the very fact they
got to know each other," Nixon told 530 people attending a $150-a-plate
fund-raiser for the Mid-America Committee, an international trade
association.
Nixon said the summit will produce the possibility of continuing contact,
reducing the danger of war and paving the way for an arms agreement in the
future, possibly before Reagan leaves office.
A nuclear arms agreement will not bring about peace, Nixon warned.
"What we have to recognize is that if we are to have peace, we have to
reduce the danger of war itself,'' he said.

BODY:
... Nixon made his historic trip to China that re-established formal contacts
between the two nations, but the former president's views on China still attract
attention.
Nixon recently returned from yet another trip to China, and planned to
discuss the visit in a Tuesday night speech before more than 300 members of the
Mid-America Committee. He planned no other public appearances.
The Mid-America Committee is an international trade association composed
of the top three executives of 125 multinational corporations based in Chicago,
Executive Director Pam Webber said.

are off the record, unlike the former president's visit.

BYLINE: LUCY HOWARD with bureau reports
BODY:
After restricting himself primarily to off-the-record discussions with small
private groups, Richard M. Nixon is going public with two ballroom appearances.
This week he will address a group of black Republican leaders at a New York
salute to black entrepreneurship sponsored by the Republican National
Committee. Actually, the former president will take second billing to the
evening's guest of honor: Maurice Stans, the onetime Nixon Commerce Secretary
who pleaded guilty to election-law violations during the Watergate scandal.
Nixon has also accepted an invitation from Chicago's Mid-America Committee
to deliver a "major foreign-policy talk" at the group's black-tie dinner on Oct.
29 -- and 60 percent of the $150 tickets were spoken for before the invitations
even went out. Although the press will not be invited to cover the speech,
off-the-record rules will be hard to maintain with a sellout ...

restrictions so as to facilitate the entry of Chinese commodities into the U.S.
market," Li said.
His comments were contained in a text of his remarks released in advance of a
speech to the Mid-America Committee. He and other members of the touring
Chinese delegation joined nearly 400 guests at the affair, dining on salmon and
veal and drinking California wines.
Li, who completed an agreement earlier this week with the United States that
would provide nuclear power technology, said the transfer of technology from the
United States was "still rather restricted."

DATELINE: TOKYO, JULY 29
BODY:
JAPANESE BUSINESSES SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO "PROMOTE A POSITIVE IMAGE
OF JAPAN AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES? TO HELP EASE THE CURRENT
TRADE FRICTION BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES, A LEADING AMERICAN BUIINESSMEN SAID
FRIDAY.
MEETING JAPANESE JOURNALISTS, SCHOLARS AND BUSINESSMEN AT THE JAPAN INSTITUTE
OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS HERE, THOMAS H. MINER, CHAIRMAN OF THE
MID-AMERICA COMMITTEE, SAID JAPANESE COMPANIES SHOULD ADOPT A STANDARD OF
ADVERTISEMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN IMPROVE THE IMAGE OF JAPAN IN THE UNITED STATES.
ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL AREAS BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES IS
COMMUNICATIONS, HE SAID.
MINER SAID: "JAPANESE BUSINESS HAS THE RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO DEFEND ITSELF
IN THE POLITICAL ARENA IN THE UNITED STATES. IT MUST CONCENTRATE ON PRESENTING
ITS SIDE OF THE STORY TO CONGRESS AND THE AMINISTRATION IN THE SAME MANNER AS
AMERICAN BUSINESSMEN DO."
"ONE REASON THE DOMESTIC CONTENT BILL (REQUIRING FOREIGN AUTOMAKERS TO USE A
HIGH PERCENTAGE OF AMERICAN-MADE PARTS FOR THEIR CARS SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES)
SLOWED DOWN IN THE (U.S.) HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND CAME TO A HALT IN THE
SENATE IN 1982 WAS THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME ONE MAJOR JAPANESE AUTO COMPANY
MOBILIZED ITS AMERICAN DEALERS AND EMPLOYEES AND ASKED THEM TO WRITE TO THEIR
CONGRESSMEN," MINER SAID.
"THAT IS A LEGITIMATE EXERCISE OF A DEMOCRATIC RIGHT WHICH JAPANESE COMPANIES
SHOULD AVAIL THEMSELVES MORE AGRESSIVELY."
HE ALSO CALLED ON JAPANESE COMPANIES TO MAKE AMERICAN WORKERS AWARE THAT
THEIR JOB SECURITY OFTEN DEPENDS ON U.S. EXPORTS TO JAPAN. "JAPANESE BUSINESS
SHOULD HELP FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE AMERICAN EXPORT STAKE IN U.S. TRADE WITH
JAPAN," HE SAID.
THE MID-AMERICA COMMITTEE, FOUNDED IN 1966, IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
GROUPING 57 MAJOR AMERICAN CORPORATIONS BASED IN THE MIDWEST OF THE UNITED
STATES.
MINER IS CURRENTLY VISITING JAPAN AT THE INVITATION OF THE FOREIGN MINISTRY.

HEADLINE: Trade Shows Leaves Unpaid Bills
DATELINE: CHICAGO
KEYWORD: China Exhibit
BODY:
Unpaid bills totaling $2.3 million have been left behind by the trade exhibit
of the People's Republic of China which toured the United States last year,
banking and convention industry sources say.
The money is owed to suppliers of goods and services for the show and to five
banks that lent money for the exhibition. One of the banks, Manufacturers
Hanovers Trust Co. of New York, is awaiting payment of "well over $1 million," a
source who asked not to be identified told The Associated Press this week.
Bank officials could not be reached for comment on the Chinese debt.
Promoters said the $5.5 million exhibit, which opened in San Francisco in
September, traveled to Chicago in October and closed in New York in December,
drew more than 8,400 buyers representing American companies. A total of 600,000
persons visited the show.
Foreign trade shows in the United States usually lose money, the source said,
but the exhibits generally are underwritten by the country presenting them.
But the Chinese did not provide any financial backing for the exhibition.
"It's very unusual that their government didn't put anything down," the source
said.
"Since their government didn't pay anything, and ours didn't pay anything,
the venture was destined for financial problems," the source added. Essentially,
he said, the creditors have financed the operation unwillingly.
International business consultant Thomas H. Miner acknowledged that loans
from some banks and debts owed to a number of suppliers have yet to be paid. But
all suppliers hope they eventually will be paid, said Miner, president of the
Mid-America Committee, a consortium of 90 Midwestern companies that helped
promote and advise the exhibit.
Gilbert Robinson, head of the China Exhibition Corp., which organized the
show, confirmed that some debts had not been paid. He told the Chicago
Tribune, however, that his accountants still were "closing the books" on the

exhibit and called talk of a deficit "premature."
"I am confident that everyone owed money is going to be paid," he said. "The
show was enormously successful all over the country. The Chinese signed totals
(orders) in the millions (of dollars) with more than 8,400 buyers."
He said that if there were a deficit, the Chinese government has told him it
wants to compensate persons who were not paid.
In addition to Manufacturers Hanover, banks that advanced money to the China
Exibition Corp. were the First National Bank of Chicago, Crocker National Rank
and Wells Fargo Bank of San Francisco and Midlantic Banks Inc. of New Jersey.
One San Francisco merchant who asked not to be identified said he has
contacted about a dozen other suppliers who still are waiting for their money.
The merchant is owed $70,000 by the China Exhibit Corp. and faces bankruptcy if
payment is not forthcoming, the Tribune said.
