Dear Dick,
I don't know whether you are aware of the George C. Marshall Dinner
which is held annually in connection with the AUSA activities in October.
This year Bob Hope is to be given the Marshall Award and it should be a
memorable occasion. The Army normally holds a Command Conference
during the AUSA and senior officers from all over the world attend the
celebration.
It is customary for civilian member firms of the AUSA to sponsor tables
for the George C. Marshall Dinner and to take a suite in connection with
a pre-dinner cocktail party. Normally, the president and senior vice
president of member firms attend and the melange of military and civilian
leaders is interesting to observe.
I have asked the AUSA to tender you an invitation to the George C. Marshall
Dinner. I have also asked for Dot and Chick to attend. Our table will
include both military and civilian DOD officials and Northrop senior
management personnel.
When you receive the invitation from the AUSA, if you accept and do not
indicate that you would like to sit at the Northrop table, you will be assigned
to one of our competitors sucLi as Ivlotorola, G. t., Hughes, IBM, et al;
so it would be most helpful if you indicate a preference to sit at our table.
The AUSA will notify us of our guests and I will then get in touch with you
and tell you where to meet us. We should have a good time and you will
have a wonderful opportunity to renew acquaintances with your military and
civilian friends from all over the world.
y ru y,
