At Warren Rustand's suggestion I am writing in hopes you can help me. Some
months ago, the Young Presidents' Organization selected me to be the Chairperson
for a study tour for twenty-five couples to the U.S.S.R, in May/June, 1986. As
such, a great deal of planning and effort has gone into this project to date.
Prior to our departure, we are having a "briefing" in Washington, D.C., May
23/24, 1986. We have been fortunate to attract several very fine speakers
including Mr. Robert McFarlane, Dr. Dimitri Simes, Mr. David Chadchadvadze, and
Mr. Jon Lodeesen. Their subject areas include a historical sketch since Peter
the Great (Chadchadvadze), current (and possibly future) U.S. policy towards the
U.S.S.R. (McFarlane), Gorbachev and the Politburo Leadership (Simes), mission of
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (Lodeesen}. This brings us to the final slot
for our briefing on Saturday, May 24th from 1:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. After
extensive discussions with Warren Rustand regarding the subject of KGB
activities/disinformation, he recommended I contact you immediately in the hopes
that your schedule would permit your participation with us on this day. The
subject of disinformation is one which we Americans, along with our allies, will
be dealing with more in the future than we have in the past. As you know only
to well, the Soviet's appear to have taken a chapter out of one of Hitler's
books on disinformation and have subsequently become masters in this activity.
While I am not locked into this subject area, I'm proposing it to you in hopes
it would be an area you could discuss with us quite freely. Naturally, any
other subject area you would care to pursue would be of great interest to all of
us.

Express this to you today in hopes it will reach you immediately so that you can
