MEMORANDUM FOR: Vice Chairman, National Intelligence Council
FROM: Charles E. Allen
National Intelligence Officer for Warning
SUBJECT: 1988 Symposium on C3I and Crisis Management
1. Attached is a request from Gus Liopiros, a former DOD official,
requesting confirmation that I can participate in a symposium at the National
Defense University on C3I and Crisis Management. The symposium will be held
on 5-6 December 1988. Dr. Liopiros has requested that I appear on a panel
with Mike Donley of the National Security Council, Craig Alderman of DOD, Joe
Lake of State, MGEN Gene Renzi of CINCPAC, and RADM James "Yank" Dorsey of the
CNO's office. I would very much like to participate as a discussant at this
conference and intend to tell Dr. Liopiros that I will participate unless
directed otherwise.
2. I know each of my panel members personally and worked very closely
with Craig Alderman, Gene Renzi, and Jim Dorsey when I was at the Department
of Defense. I, of course, currently work on crisis management with Mike
Donley, Joe Lake, and Craig Alderman.

Dear Charlie:
Dick Ferris has spoken to you about participating in a symposium
that I am orgahizing on the subjedt of crisis 'management and has
indicated to me your interest in participating. I therefore
called your office yesterday to discuss it with you. Your
secretary asked me to send you some information on the symposium.
The "1988 Symposium on C3I and Crisis Management" will be held
on 5 and 6 December, 1988. The symposium will be jointly
sponsored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Defense
Communications Agency and will be hosted by the Defense
Communications Agency at the National Defense University's Hill
Conference Center. It will be the first of a series addressing
critical national security issues and C3I.
The symposium is an attempt to start and maintain a dialogue
among the various communities involved in the crisis management
process, and is structured to deal with policy, process,
operations and technology. I hope to bring together the right
group of people to help forge a direction for the future in this
important area. We will produce both a classified proceedings
and an unclassified book, based on the best papers, to be
published the following spring.
I have enclosed a preliminary agenda for the symposium. I have
initially placed you in Panel 2 - The Crisis Management Process:
Interactions in the Community - which will be chaired by Mike
Donley who will also present a paper addressing crisis management
from the national perspective. You would serve as a discussant
and could also present a short talk regarding your views in the
area.
I hope that this will be agreeable with you. Since time is
short, I would appreciate a confirmation from you as soon as
possible. I will 'phone you in a few days to discuss.
Sincerely,
s
