Thank you for your letter of 14 June and your kind
invitation to address the Inter-University Seminar on
Armed Forces and Society (IUS) conference on 28 April 1978.
I would like very much to address the conference
and exchange views with the IUS Fellows, but the
uncertainties of my calendar do not permit me to
schedule events that far in advance.
The Agency could provide two specialists to
participate in your panels on Latin America. One
would present a paper-on "The Latin American Military
in the 19808", and the other would serve as a discussant
on Cuba. `-
Thank you again for your invitation.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
THROUGH . Deputy to the DCI for National Intelligence
FROM . Acting Assistant NIO for Latin America
SUBJECT . Invitation for DCI to Address Conference in April 1978
at Southern Methodist University (SMU)
1. Action Requested: DCI signature on letter to Dr. James Brown,
Department of Political Science, Southern Methodist University (SMU).
2. Background:
a. Dr. Brown, of SMU's political science department, is
chairing a regional Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and
Society (IUS) to be held in Dallas, 27-29 April 1978. The
conference will be entitled "The US Military in Foreign Policy in
the 1980s". Dr. Brown, at the suggestion of Professor
Morris Janowitz of the IUS, has invited Admiral Turner to be one
of the principal speakers during the conference. The IUS is a
prestigious organization, and Professor Janowitz is a leading
political scientist who has written extensively on the role of
the military in society. Because of the distant date of the
conference, I am recommending the DCI express his regrets and
offer a substitute speaker.
b. Dr. Brown also asked if the Agency could participate in
two special panels on Latin America. I suggest that we offer
two senior Latin American specialists: one as a discussant for
the panel on Cuba and the other to present a paper on "The Latin
American Military in the 1980s".
