Dear Colleague:
At the next breakfast session sponsored by the Standing Com-
mittee on Law and National Security at 8 a.m. on Friday, January 20,
at the University Club, 1135 16th Street N.W., committee member
Ambassador Max Kampelman will speak on the problem of negotiating
with the Russians. This is a problem which has beset and
bewildered the West ever since we set distinguished representatives
like Ambassador Kampelman to the task.
r
Way back in 1950, the World Peace Foundation decided to pub-
lish a book on the subject (Negotiating With the Russians, World
Peace Foundation, 40 Mt. Vernon Street, Boston, Mass.) in the hope
that a summation of various efforts at negotiation with the Soviets
would "assist the general public in understanding the nature of the
task with which (Soviet) behavior confronts the free world . . ."
The book relates all the efforts made by the West to nego-
tiate with the Russians on a variety of subjects including negotiat-
ing on atomic energy (1946), in which the Soviet protagonist was
none other than Andrei Gromyko, Ambassador Kampelman's saddle-sore
during three years of debate at Madrid on human rights as defined
in the Helsinki Accords. No doubt Ambassador Kampelman could add
a chapter to the World Peace Foundation book. Then (1951), as
now, negotiation on any subject seemed to be in abeyance. In
fact, one gets a sense of "deja vue."
Our chairman, Professor John Norton Moore, invites you to
join us at the University Club on January 20 to hear Ambassador
Kampelman's update on the art and science of negotiating with the
Soviets and specifically Foreign Minister Gromyko, who remains a
constant.
An acceptance/regrets card is enclosed. Please reply by
January 17.
Sincerely,
W. C. Mott
For the Chairman
