Dear Mort:

I would like to invite you up to Cambridge to talk to a session of the Harvard Defense Policy Seminar. As in past years, the Seminar comprises a body of students seriously interested in military policy and administration, from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Law School and the Kennedy School of Government.

One of the most important parts of the program is to invite distinguished individuals to talk about their special field. As we will be discussing Chinese Military Strategy at that time, Monday, December 16, 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 hour, and then leaving himself open to questions for the remaining time. Our proceedings are always off the record, and you should feel free therefore to discuss the issues as informally and openly as you see fit. The Seminar has funds to reimburse you for your travel expenses.

I do hope you can come.

Dear Henry:

I appreciate very much your invitation to speak at a session of the Harvard Defense Policy Seminar on December 2. I would be very happy to accept this invitation and I am prepared to do so on the assumption that the occasion does not entail the preparation of a prepared manuscript. I am always much more at ease in speaking from notes and have an aversion to prepared texts.

If this informality is satisfactory for this occasion, I shall record this engagement on my December calendar.

I am sorry not to have had the occasion to chat with you on your recent visits to Washington. I hope that the opportunity will present itself before long.

Dear Henry:

I have your letter asking me to come up on December 16 to talk to the Defense Policy Seminar about Chinese Military Strategy. I have not given much thought to Chinese Military Strategy for several years now and I am somewhat reluctant to talk on that subject. As you may know, I am now spending most of my time on forthcoming Strategic Talks With the Soviets and could, I think, give a much more interesting talk on the general question of Strategic Arms Control. Alternatively, I could talk about Asian Security After Vietnam.

If neither of these topics seem appropriate, I am prepared to re-state my position on Chinese Military Strategy, but you should feel free to re-direct the invitation to somebody currently working in the field.
