PARTICIPANTS: Mr. Geor a H. Owen Dir,_;tor, Antarctic Staff

SUBJECT: Department of State Invitation to - to
particpate within an advisory group relative to
Antarctic matters
Following a discussion concerning the problem raised by the
Norwegian intention to withdraw from Antarctic research at the end
of the Antarctic winter, (December 1959), Mr. Owen stated that
Ambassador Paul C. Daniels, Special Adviser on Antarctica, had
recommended that an invitation be extended to me to join a group of
advisers assembled by the Department's Antarctic Staff. The function
of the group is to assist in the exploration of problems and
solutions relative to the preparation of US position papers for the
forthcoming Antarctic Conference, scheduled for 15 October 1959 in
Washington, D. C. The group presently consists of Mr. Alan Neidle
of the Office of the Legal Adviser, Captain Eugene Davis, USN,
representing the JCS and the Department of Defense, and Mr. Larkin H.
Farinholt of the Office of the Science Adviser. Other participants
are invited on special problems as they arise. Ambassador Daniels
felt that it would be desirable to have the Agency represented much
in the way that it is on the Working Group on Antarctica, OCB. The
group would continue to function during the period of the Conference
as an advisory staff to the US delegation. Of course, neither Captain
Davis nor I would be publicly identified as members of the advisory
staff. I advised Mr. Owen that I would have to refer the matter to
my superiors for final consideration and approval.
