Henry and I have been hoping that Bernard Brodie would make a trip East and we could catch him for a day. He is coming East in March but won't be able to stop off then. Henry and I think he's worth getting even if we have to pay his way from California, if we can get him to spend a couple of days here rather than just give one talk and leave. If you have no strong financial objection I'll suggest to Bernard that he plan to come in April at our expense, if by then he has no excuse for coming at the expense of RAND or somebody else. The advantage of getting him to settle down for a couple of days, talk to the Fellows, etc., seems to me sufficient to make it even desirable to pay his way if doing so means that we can reasonably ask him to stick around for awhile.

Dear Bernard:

It looks as though we are at last converging on a date for your visit. I hereby decide that it shall be April 18th and 19th, that is, that it shall unless you have any last-minute thoughts to the contrary. My only reservation is that I am supposed to be in Colorado Springs that Wednesday and do not know yet whether I must leave Tuesday evening or can wait until Wednesday morning. But that won't matter much.

Will you have dinner with Corinne and me Monday, the 18th? Also, would you be likely to come in on Sunday, so that we could expect you informally at our house that evening, too?

You won't want to stay with us, so I shall put you up at one of the hotels on the edge of the campus. I'll tentatively make a reservation for three nights starting Sunday, the 17th, and you can let me know whether it will be two nights, and which ones, instead.

I'll arrange a small meeting that will probably involve most of our dozen "Fellows" and six or a dozen others, both Faculty and research people, and I shall not announce it as a speech. If you want to prepare ten minutes or forty-five minutes of informal remarks, I'm sure that you'll be bombarded with enough questions to make it a lively two hours, and that there is really no need for you to present a prepared discussion. You could even, if it is easier, let the thing start right off with questions, including a few pre-meditated ones from Henry and me. Do it as you please. I am not trying to foreclose any prepared paper that you might have ready at the time.
