SUBJECT: Economic Summit Preparation Meeting
1. Yesterday Allen Wallis called the first preparation meeting for the
May Summit. He said that this Summit would have a very different character
from preceding ones: less formal and structured, less aimed at reaching
agreements and no communique.
2. There will be three sessions: one on economic policy, one on economic
institutions and one on East-West economic relations. Wallis resisted any
discussion of what our aims were with respect to these topics and gave out no
work assignments. He emphasized that it was the President's intention to have
merely a discussion of these topics and presumably others and not try to reach
any agreement.
3. Wallis also said that it was not clear that any of the topics from
earlier Summits, e.g., "high-technology," the "intervention study," and the
coordination exercise with the IMF would be discussed at this Summit.
4. Bob Morris of his staff is coordinating preparations for the
Summit. In due course, we will hear from Wallis and Morris on needed inputs.
