Dear Francis:

I would like to invite you over to talk to a session of the Harvard Defense Policy Seminar. As in past years, the seminar comprises a body of students from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Law School and the Kennedy School of Government, students seriously interested in military policy and administration, who would benefit significantly from an opportunity to hear your views.

One of the most important parts of the program is to invite a number of distinguished individuals to talk about their special field. As we will be discussing executive policy making on defense at that time, Monday November 27 would be our ideal date for your visit. The seminar meets from 4:10 to 6 p.m., with the speaker normally taking the first 45 minutes to an hour, and then leaving himself open to questions for the remaining time.

I do hope you can come.

Dear Henry:

Thank you for your letter of November 15 inviting me to speak to a session of the Harvard Defense Policy Seminar. I have delayed responding to your letter in the hope that I might be able to give a favorable reply to your invitation.

In view of the fact that I have no idea when Congress will adjourn this month, I must regretfully decline. I hope that there will be another opportunity in the future for me to participate.

I regret that in the past it seems that one conflict or another prevented my accepting your invitations to come to Cambridge. I have heard many fine things about your seminar and I am looking forward to joining in a session.

Best wishes.

Dear Henry:

I was pleased and flattered by your invitation for the Seminar on or about April 22nd, and want to do it. However, I see two problems, only one of which is trivial.

The important difficulty is that I have been doing no sustained, systematic work on NATO this past year. I keep up on much but not all of the literature, and sporadically get involved in a NATO issue (essentially insofar as insights are, and are not, transferable from NATO Nuclear Committee activities to my current work on nuclear policy issues in Asia). Consequently I recommend that you invite someone else who is sharp and fully current on NATO, for example, Fred Wyle from ISA. My ego is already sufficiently soothed by the initial invitation.

Secondly, the date you mention in inconvenient. Tentatively I have invitations for technical talks in Japan and Australia, both for the same week during May 6-10. I want to be able to visit both places, and to preserve as much flexibility as I can in my scheduling around that week in order to work out a feasible trip that may begin in late April. So an earlier date, say April 8th, would be much better for me, and could be combined with a subsequent visit to Washington.

So I am not offended if you turn elsewhere. But if you still want to invite me for a somewhat earlier or much later date, I shall be pleased to accept. In any event, I hope that we shall be able to get together soon one place or another.

Best regards.
