TO: Henry Kissinger

FROM: Gerald Sutton

SUBJECT: Additional Witness List for Security Session

Margaret Hayes says that it may be difficult to arrange a full program from the available witnesses on the approved list since, because of the short notice, some have made other commitments. She submits the following supplement for your approval:

Jiri Valenta - Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, currently in the international security program at the Wilson Center. Czechoslovakian by birth and author of definitive work on 1968 invasion. Specialized in Soviet influence in Caribbean basin last three years. Generally pro-administration.

Ed Gonzalez - Rand Corporation. Long-time Cuban expert at Rand. Participated in recent Rand study on Central America.

Carmelo Mesalago - Director of Latin American Center at Pittsburgh. Editor of recent book on current crisis in Central America. Somewhat critical of Administration.

Richard Millett - Professor at Southern Illinois, currently at Air Command and Staff School. One of few Central American specialists dating back before present crisis. Author of definitive work on Somoza system. Very sympathetic to Sandinistas at first, but ardor has cooled recently.

General Meyer - ex-Army Chief of Staff

HAK:

The Commission is scheduled to take up human rights during
the September 21-22 session. Elliott Abrams wants to appear
before the Commission at some point and I think we should have
him on this occasion:

yes __________ later __________

Bill Buckley's recommendation, Mark Benenson, has agreed to
appear. We need someone from the other side. Pete Vaky has
proposed Tom Farer, a professor at Yale, member of the
Inter-American Human Rights Commission and once a special
assistant to Bill Rogers in ARA. Tom is as impassioned as
anyone in the movement. But his advantage is that we not have
to pick among the human rights organizations -- Amnesty, WOLA,
American Watch, etc.:

o.k. __________ other __________
