Colonel Doyle of Galbani 3000 Ext. 4006,
who is General Norstad's aide, says:-

1. General Norstad will be away from Paris unfortunately during the time you propose and therefore regrets he can't see you, though he'd like to

2. General Norstad has written to you about your suggestion that "a gentleman" visit Harvard, but the letter will have missed you because it went to the States.

General Norstad suggests that during your time in Paris you "come out and talk to somebody else" about this matter. Col. Doyle will be in his office all tomorrow.

Dear Professor Kissinger,

Thank you for your letter of 8 August to Professor Rotblat, advising him of your travel plans for the Cambridge Pugwash Conference.

Professor Townes will also be travelling on PAA flight 100, which reaches London airport at 21:35 on 24 August. The customs clearance and formalities at London airport will mean that you would probably not reach the airline terminal in London for approximately 1½ hours after touching down, and this would not leave much margin of time for catching trains from Liverpool Street station in London to Cambridge. However, I have made enquiries today and it appears that a taxi from London Airport to Cambridge would cost between £7 and £10, so that if Professor Townes would care to accompany you and share this charge, you might not consider it excessive. Professor and Mrs. Sohn will also be flying in late on that day, and it may be that they intend travelling on the same flight, and would also wish to join you. I shall be writing to Professor Townes and also to Professor Sohn, and shall mention this possibility to them. I am assured that there would be room for four people and luggage in the taxi, should you decide to come by this method.

I am happy to be able to assure you that you will not be asked to share accommodation at Cambridge, as you have requested.

Dear Professor Rotblat:

This is just a note to advise you about
my travel plans to Cambridge. I am taking
Pan American flight #100 from New York to

arrive at 21:35 that evening. I would greatly
appreciate your advising me how to get to
Cambridge from London, and look forward to
hearing from you.

All good wishes.

P.S. If I will need to stay in London overnight and go to Cambridge on the morning of the 25th, I would appreciate your making a hotel reservation for me. In any case, I would be grateful if you could let me know by return mail.

From: - the Secretary-General

The preliminary programme for the London Conference is given overleaf. As stated in the letter of invitation there will be five main topics of discussion, with one plenary session devoted to each of them. At each session two or three invited papers will be given. The authors will present summaries of their papers and the remainder of the time will be taken up by general discussion.

We hope to pre-circulate all the papers and enclose the first batch of five (3:2, 4:1, 6:2, 7:1 and 7:2). If you wish to make any comments on these papers, would you please send them to me as soon as possible. These comments will be included, with the author's permission, in the Proceedings of the Conference, but in addition they will be of great help to the chairmen of the sessions in guiding the general discussion.

RE: Program for the Cambridge Conference on Disarmament and World Security Travel grants for American participants

You have received a memo from Bernard Feld requesting your comments on his draft of the paper (The state of official disarmament negotiations) to be presented at the first plenary session of the Cambridge Conference. The second American paper requested by the London program committee deals with the general problems of disarmament and is being prepared by Louis Sohn. We hope to be able to send you a copy in mid-July.

As described by Dr. Rotblat in the letter of invitation, the conference is organized around five working groups. Each participant is requested to note his first and second preference against the listing of the working groups on the attached sheet. I have also been asked to remind you that although prepared papers have not been solicited for these working sessions, the program committee would welcome discussion outlines, short notes, or background reports that you believe could be usefully duplicated for each group. Please send the material to the Chicago office at the above address.

I regret to inform you that efforts to secure finances for the two conferences have not been satisfactory. The committee is making a renewed effort by contacting ten new foundations and hopes that more funds will be pledged by the end of June. Despite this state of affairs, it is now time to determine the support each American participant will require. Will you then please answer the questions under Travel grant on the attached sheet?

Any suggestions regarding sources of financial support should be sent to Bernard Feld or Ruth Adams as soon as possible. If, in addition, you are able to support a foundation application with a personal phone call or visit, call this office collect and full information regarding the status of the appeal will be given to you.

All conference arrangements are being made by the London office but do feel free to request assistance from the U.S. Committee.

Henry A. Kissinger

Sincerely yours,

VII good wishes.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

The U.S. Continuing Committee for the Conferences on Science and World Affairs invites you to the next meeting in the series devoted to problems of disarmament. The success of the past meetings (Lac Beauport 1958, Baden 1959, Moscow 1960, and Vermont, 1961) is known to you. The Committee hopes that the present conference will similarly encourage the open exchange of opinions between the participants. All sessions will be private. There will be no publicity except for a press release on the date and composition of the conference and the subject of its discussions. The Conference will be held in Cambridge, England, August 25-29, 1962. It is being organized by the U.K. Committee; the Royal Society will serve as host. Arrangements are being made for 16 American participants, 16 from the USSR, 10 from the U.K., and 18 from other countries.

It is planned to organize small working groups around the general theme, "Problems of Disarmament and World Security." Among the topics suggested for the small groups are reduction and elimination under international control of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, balanced reduction and elimination of conventional armaments, political and technical measures as contributions to lessening of international tensions (including, if desired, the nuclear test ban), security in a disarmed world, and economic aspects of disarmament.

The Cambridge Conference is to be followed by a larger meeting in London, September 3-7, 1962. This second meeting in England, the tenth in the COSWA series, will review the past activities, discuss international cooperation among scientists, and make recommendations for future activities. Fifty Americans are expected to attend the London meeting and the Committee hopes that you will stay over as a participant.

The U.S. Committee received a generous grant from the Ford Foundation last fall which made possible the 7th and 8th conferences held in Vermont, September 1961. The hosts for these meetings were the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston. To support the travel of U.S. participants in the present conference, the Committee is seeking grants from several foundations. We have no way of predicting the success of these applications and would therefore appreciate knowing whether you will be in Europe at the time and would therefore need less than a full travel grant.

If you are able to attend one or both of the conferences, a formal invitation and program will be sent to you from the London office.

I was very glad to hear that you hope to attend the Tenth Con-
ference in London. The response to the invitations was very good: out
of the 180 former participants about 120 will probably come to the London
Conference. You may also be interested to hear that the Royal Society
has agreed to be host to the Conference.

Nearer the date of the Conference I will send you details of the
programme, together with some of the main papers to be read at the Con-
ference. In the meantime I enclose a copy of the "History of the Pugwash
Conferences" which has just been published and which will form the basis
for the report on the activities of the Continuing Committee to be given
at the Conference.

Dear Colleague:

You and other participants of past conferences on Science and World Affairs (Pugwash Conferences of Scientists) will receive within the next week the complete collection of papers from the Seventh Conference, held in Stowe on September 5-9 and devoted to "International Cooperation in Pure and Applied Science." The papers of the Eighth Conference, devoted to "Disarmament and World Security," and held in Stowe on September 11-16, will be sent to you as soon as their preparation is completed.

Early in 1961, the Continuing Committee asked its British members to prepare a larger conference in London in September, 1962, to give a wider group of scientists the chance to participate actively in the program, and to provide the Continuing Committee elected in Kitzbühel in September, 1958 with a forum to which it can give an accounting of its activities, and which could appoint a new and perhaps larger committee to plan future programs.

This decision was confirmed at the Continuing Committee meeting during the September conference in Stowe. It was decided that invitations to the London conference should first be sent to all participants of past conferences.

An invitation to the London conference is attached to this letter. The American members of the Continuing Committee would appreciate hearing from you, with the shortest possible delay, whether you would like to participate in the London conference, and whether you may be able to do so without, or with only partial, support toward your travel expenses. Because of the nature of this conference and the number of participants, we anticipate difficulties in raising funds to provide full travel expenses for all participants.

Since this type of a wider conference is new to our program we would appreciate comments and suggestions concerning its holding and its program. This conference does present more difficult problems of avoiding ideological speeches and propagandistic statements than did the smaller conferences held with less publicity, but we believe this problem to be soluble; and we believe that there is a real need and demand for giving a wider group of scientists the opportunity to participate. In addition, a more stable and permanent organization is required to which the International Continuing Committee would be responsible.

10th Pugwash Conference: London, September 1962

I am writing on behalf of the Pugwash Continuing Committee to invite you to the Tenth Conference, which will be held in London, England, from September 3rd to 7th, 1962.

This Conference will have a somewhat different character from the previous ones. Its theme will be "The Scientist and World Affairs" and it is intended that the Conference will, among other things, reach a decision about future activities, and elect a new Committee (the present Continuing Committee was set up at the Kitzbuhel Conference in 1958).

These purposes clearly call for a larger and more representative gathering than hitherto, and the Committee decided that the participation should be about 300. The first to be invited are all those who took part in any of the previous Conferences. The list will then be made up to 300 by sending invitations either to individual scientists or to Academies of Science in all countries. It is because it will take a long time to make up the whole list under these conditions that we are sending you this letter of invitation so much in advance, with the plea that you should give it urgent consideration and let us have your reply as soon as possible.

Apart from receiving a report of past activities and reaching decisions on the items already mentioned, the programme of the Conference will include discussions on the following topics:

1) the position of the scientist in the community (his role and duties in relation to science, governments and public opinion);

2) the contribution of scientists towards establishing world security;

3) international scientific collaboration;

contin'd..

4) science in the aid of developing nations.

Because of the large size of the Conference we greatly regret that we are unable to pay travelling expenses, or offer hospitality to participants while in London. The funds available are sufficient only for the essential organizational expenditure. We earnestly hope that you will be able to secure the necessary expenses from other sources. We ourselves are trying to collect more money and should this be successful we would then be glad to offer hospitality to you.

The Conference will take place in the Hotel Russell, which is in the Bloomsbury area of London, near the University. It is hoped that all participants will have their meals in the hotel and about half of them would be accomodated there. For the remaining we shall make reservations in nearby hotels. The all-inclusive cost (room and meals) will be about 13 dollars per day.

There is no need for me to tell you about the aims and achievements of the Pugwash Conferences. They are now generally accepted as a valuable channel of communication between East and West; this became particularly clear during the last two Conferences, held in Moscow and Stowe. It is of the greatest importance that the Conferences should continue in existence and for this reason we hope that you will do your utmost to attend the London Conference, which will decide the nature and scope of future activities.

As soon as your acceptance is received the Conference Administrator, Mr. G.P.R. Esdale, will get in touch with you about travel arrangements, hotel reservations etc.

I look forward to your reply.
