Dear Mr. Sviklie: 7c Jr-e? tit
Enclosed is a detailed itinerary for the visit of the USSR delegation
on Plastics in Construction (Hydrotechnical) to the United States.
The itinerary provides for your arrival in Washington, D.C., on July 5,
with the tour commencing on July 7 and ending upon your return to Wash-
ingtaon July 25. These dates, as well as the itinerary within the United
States, should be considered firm because of commitments which have been
made. If there are urgent reasons for deviation from this itinerary in
any respect, I should be notified immediately so that required changes
can be made.
I understand that you (or the Soviet Embassy in the United States) will
obtain reservations and tickets for air transportation throughout the
United States as shown in the detailed itinerary. These should be
obtained as soon as possible because this period coincides with peak
travel in the United States. I will make hotel reservations for the
Soviet group. I need to know as soon as possible the number in the
Soviet delegation. I would also appreciate having the names and titles
of the members of the Soviet delegation as soon as convenient.
The American delegation believes that the Soviet delegation will find
its visit to the United States interesting and informative. The itin.
+erary has been arranged to encompass the areas of mutual interest.
The American delegation is looking forward to the visit of the Soviet
delegation with keen anticipation and plans to accompany the Soviet
delegation throughout their travel in the United States.

I have received the nine Soviet articles you sent me by your letter
dated February 26, 1974. I also am in receipt of the "Information
on Plastics in Hydraulic Engineering" that you sent me on February 26,
1974. All of this information is very much appreciated and has been
furnished to members of the United States delegation. We are preparing
a resume of the state-of-the-art of United States Technology in Plastics
in Construction (Hydrotechnical) and will provide you translated copies
during your visit.
The American delegation is tentatively planning to visit the USSR in
the latter part of September 1974. We would like to discuss with you
during your visit plans for our return visit to your country. We need
to agree on dates for the return visit at that time.
Sincerely yours,
