Dear Bob,
We are delighted that you can take part in a panel discussion
entitled "Perspectives on the Soviet Union" on Tuesday
morning, May 17, from 9:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Wye
Plantation on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Dimitri Simes will
rshare this panel with you. As discussed with
your Public Affairs Office, we would like you to
concentrate on "Trends in Soviet Leadership," and how they
affect the foreign policy process. Dr. Simes will discuss
Soviet security policy and its impact on the arms control
process, be it in START, SDI, nuclear testing, chemical or
conventional arms. Your remarks should run about ten minutes
maximum and can be either off-the-record or on background, as
you wish.
By way of background, the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency has cosponsored, with the Aspen Institute for
Humanistic Studies, these journalists conferences for the past
four years.
This year's event is scheduled for May 17-18 on the eve of the
Moscow Summit. As in the past, it will provide some of
Washington's most respected journalists, most of whom will
cover the Summit, in-depth treatment on a range of arms
control and national security issues.
As you can imagine, the success of previous conferences stems
from the authority of the senior officials and private experts
who participate, plus the informality of the sessions.
Enclosed is a copy of the latest agenda for this year's
event. My Public Affairs Office will be in contact with you
concerning the details of this speaking engagement.
Many thanks for agreeing to take part in what we expect will
be a highlight of our public affairs activities.
Sincerely,
Wiliam F. Burns
Enclosure
Mr. Robert Gates
Deputy Director
