Mr. J. M. Barker'.
Dear Jim:
I have been holding off in replying to your letter
of J1 January in the hope that I might find it possible
to accept Mr. Sullivan's kind invitation to address the
National Military-Industrial Conference in April.
Unfortunately, I shall be away irons here on
April tenth and therefore cannot be ikChicago at that
time.
t unclose a copy of a latter I have just dispatched
to Mr. Sullivan which is self~-expisnatory. I know that
Mr. Kirkpatrick will give a highly worthwhile prssena
tation.
With beat wish*s.
Sincerely.

The Military and Industrial Conference, which is a
project of the Institute for American Strategy, is an annual
affair, held each year in Chicago, and attended by a great many
important people, both from civil and military life. I under-
stand that they have invited you to address them at a luncheon
on Monday, April 10th, and my information is based on the fact
th,t they have asked me to act as chairman of the luncheon, and
to'introduce you, in case you can accept. You may be amused
that they asked me to introduce Zorlu of Turkey, then Minister
of Foreign Affairs, at a.previous meeting, two years ago, as I
recall it. I did it with reluctance, having known him all too
well in 1950, when he was the official liason man between the
Turkish government and the so-called "Barker" mission to Tur-
key. In contrast, I shall accept the present invitation with
alacrity and enthusiasm in case you are able to be the guest
of the Conference, as I hope that you will.
If you come to Chicago, N;argaret and I shall be
delighted if you will make 1430 Lake Shore Drive your habitation
and headquarters, should that suit your convenience. If Clover
would come too, it would be even more delightful. Should you
prefer to relax, we can dine "en famille", or if you would like
to do so, we can have a dinner party for you.
We leave here for a fortnight in Chicago, beginning
February third.
With best regards,
J. N. Barker
