Subject: N.-S. DCI Dinner
Please note the attached from
and return with any comment or instructions that
occur to you. If we adopt his format it means
a rather large get-together, probably in two
parts as was the Population meeting. I'd prefer
a smaller party without the pre-dinner meeting.
But O may be right, considering the subject
and the amount of interest in it.
Anyway, there is not much I can do abnut
the actual planning for the dinner until I have a
date from the DCI's office to shoot for.

SUBJECT . Some Thoughts on a DCI Seminar on North-South
Relations
1. I think such a "seminar" would be most timely considering
the various PRC meetings and Presidential briefings that will in-
volve the DCI over the next several months. It would also be an
excellent opportunity for the dozen or so analysts in OER, ORPA,
OSI and ERAC who have been following North-South relations for the
past year (and who meet regularly to discuss their work) to inter-
act with the DCI on this subject.
2. Our guests should be distinguished spokesmen for
different points of view with something to say to each other as
well as to us. That is why I think
would make an excellent pair. Should the latter not be available,
I would recommend either
and an articulate spokesman for the LDC point of view).
3. With respect to format, I would favor something along the
lines of the following:
-- 1700-1815: introductions and substantive opening
remarks. Attended by Mr. Bowie and invited analysts
and NIOs.
1815-1900: cocktails, informal discussion between
guests and DCI.
1900-2000: supper.
200-2130: discussion, with Mr. Bowie summarizing
initial discussions, differences in points of view
and prognoses. Basically, this is the chance for
the DCI (assuming he is unavailable to attend. the
introductory session) to focus the discussion on
his major concerns and. questions.

4. The North-South analytical community is well defined,
and based on my knowledge of who is into what, I think invita-
tions should be tendered in about the following proportions:
-- ORPA: 3 analysts
-- OER: 3 analysts
-- ERAC: 1 analyst
-- OSI: 1 analyst
-- NIO: 3
I would be happy to make specific recommendations as your planning
progresses.
