... House thought the bust of Lenin and a red banner would have to be
covered. But it was quickly realized that it would be "dramatic to have Reagan
walk into the lion's den.''
At-first, says Gilder, he had writer's block, wondering how to write for such
an alien audience. But then he decided to "let Reagan be Reagan'' and "trust
that his humanity would come through the cultural and ideological barriers.''
In working on the speech, Gilder sought advice from James Billington, head
of the Library of Congress and author of ''Icon and the Ax." He also talked
with Yakov Smirnov, the Soviet emigre and standup comic who is becoming known to
US audiences for his witty comments about Soviet society.
The President, Gilder says, wanted to talk about the importance of freedom
and what it means. Yakov, he says, helped make the theme concrete in terms of
Soviets' own experience. Reagan ended up talking about ...

... Moscow State University last week -- one of 18 addresses he delivered
during the summit trip -- was written by Josh Gilder, 34, cousin of conservative
economic guru George Gilder. Acclaimed as one of the best speeches the
President has given during his eight years in office, it was crafted by Gilder
over a 10-day span, with input from Soviet emigre humorist Yakov Smirnoff and
historian James Billington, the Librarian of Congress. Gilder is leaving the
White House to return to George Bush's campaign staff.

Gilder wrote two speeches Reagan delivered at the Moscow summit that were
viewed as outstanding and displaying a depth of understanding about the Soviet
Union. The speeches were delivered at the Danilov Monastery and Moscow State
University and were classics in summing up the differences between a free
society and a totalitarian government without the usual polemics.
Gilder said he had a lot of help from James Billington, the librarian of
Congress, and comedian Yakov Smirnov, a Russian emigre, who guided him with
their knowledge of Russian literature and mores.
Gilder, who is a devoted admirer of the president, said he simply let
''Reagan be Reagan'' in his speeches..

%I hope somebody was able to tell the president," said Elaine Crispen, Nancy
Reagan's press secretary.
Among those at Mrs. Reagan's table were Gorbachev, Librarian of Congress
James Billington, Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan.) and economist Tat'yana
Zaslavskaya.
One couple who accepted an invitation but failed to show up were Anatoly
Virganski and his wife Irina, the Gorbachevs' daughter. A spokesman said the
White House did not know why the couple did not attend.
Elsewhere in the room, seated between Soviet Defense Minister Dmitri Yazov
and Ligachev was White House Chief of Staff Howard ...

After dinner, guests toured the quarters where Richard Nixon stayed on his

Earlier, the Reagans met with Soviet dissidents at Spaso House and before
that visited the 13th-century Danilov Monastery, continuing their crash course
in Russian culture that James Billington, the librarian of Congress and a
Soviet expert, had a hand in devising. Headquarters of the Russian Orthodox
Church since the state spent $ 45 million on its restoration, the 700-year-old

... Mrs. Reagan as "really looking forward to what she will be seeing,
feeling it is a place that's such a central part of this country's consciousness
and wanting to know as much about it as she can. She's pushing the other things
out of her mind."
She was believed by some to have been upstaged during the Washington summit
because she wasn't prepared, but she is said to have done her homework for this
trip. Among those who helped her were Lisa Jameson of the National Security
Council staff and James Billington, librarian of Congress and a Soviet
scholar, who is part of her entourage here.
"She's been very impressed with him and he's an the trip at her invitation.
He'll be with her at times, including the trip to Leningrad," according to one
source.
Besides the books Billington recommended, the National Geographic Society
sent over reading material and tapes. Sources say she tried to learn some basic
Russian greetings, with enthusiasm and determination.

Honorable Robert Gates

We are delighted that you will be able to join us for the CRS Member
Breakfast hosted by the Honorable Lee H. Hamilton on "Gorbachev's Reform
Program after the Soviet Party Conference" on July 14, 1988, 8:00 a.m - 9:00
a.m., in the U.S. Capitol, Room EF 100.
As you know, the Breakfast for Members of Congress will be the
concluding event of a congressional Research Service workshop sponsored by the
Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee. The Committee plans to issue a report on the proceedings. The
workshop will look at the impact of the Soviet Communist Party Conference on
Gorbachev's leadership position and on Soviet domestic and foreign policy over
the next five years, and will examine the implications for the United States.
Our format at the breakfast will be for the rapporteur, Francis
Miko, to offer a very brief summation of the highlights of the workshop. We
would then ask you and our other speaker to each provide your own brief
assessment of Soviet reform after the Party Conference and implications for the
United States (10 to 15 minute), leaving time for discussion with the Members.
We are enclosing a copy of our agenda and a list of questions to be addressed
at the workshop to help you to tailor your own remarks. Could you provide a
one-page summary of your presentation?
If you have any questions about the breakfast meeting or the
workshop, please call our coordinator, Francis Miko (287-7670). We look
forward to seeing you on July 14. Should you have the time, we would also
welcome your participation at the workshop.
Sincerely,

Honorable Robert Gates
Deputy Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
We are delighted that you will be able to join us for the CRS Member
Breakfast hosted by the Honorable Lee H. Hamilton on "Gorbachev's Reform
Program after the Soviet Party Conference" on July 14, 1988, 8:00 a.m - 9:00
a.m., in the U.S. Capitol, Room EF 100.
As you know, the Breakfast for Members of Congress will be the
concluding event of a congressional Research Service workshop sponsored by the
Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee. The Committee plans to issue a report on the proceedings. The
workshop will look at the impact of the Soviet Communist Party Conference on
Gorbachev's leadership position and on Soviet domestic and foreign policy over
the next five years, and will examine the implications for the United States.
Our format at the breakfast will be for the rapporteur, Francis
Miko, to offer a very brief summation of the highlights of the workshop. We
would then ask you and our other speaker to each provide your own brief
assessment of Soviet reform after the Party Conference and implications for the
United States (10 to 15 minute), leaving time for discussion with the Members.
We are enclosing a copy of our agenda and a list of questions to be addressed
at the workshop to help you to tailor your own remarks. Could you provide a
one-page summary of your presentation?
If you have any questions about the breakfast meeting or the
workshop, please call our coordinator, Francis Miko (287-7670). We look
forward to seeing you on July 14. Should you have the time, we would also
welcome your participation at the workshop.
Sincerely,
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90GO1353R002000030025-4
