F4 'All 1980
I am looking forward to your participation in our evening discussion on
Egypt on Thursday, 24 January 1980. Our subject is "The Stability of Egypt
at Peace." It will hardly require any justification to you. I do hope, though,
that we shall be able to generate a searching discussion aimed at problems and
prospects that might escape our attention if a more stressful situation in Egypt
impelled us to focus our discussion more sharply. We shall be joined by Professor
Richard Mitchell of Michigan and, I hope, by Herman Eilts, who is now affiliated
with Boston University. I am asking you, as I am asking them, to prepare a brief,
approximately fifteen minute, introductory statement on your own assessment of
our subject. Thereafter, we shall have, I trust, a lively free discussion.
Our plan for the evening is as follows: The company will assemble in my
conference room in the CIA Headquarters Building in Langley between 5:30 and
6:00. Refreshments will be served. Our discussion will begin at 6:00 and
continue until 8:30 or so. Dinner will be served at the conference table at
7:00. The company will be small. In addition to our experts from outside the
Government, I am inviting the appropriate senior officials from State, Defense,
and the NSC Staff. The remainder of the guests, for a total of fourteen or
fifteen, will be from the Agency.
I have asked of my Academic Relations Staff to complete
the arrangements for the evening. Please call them if you require further infor-
mation or any assistance. Their telephone number is F_ I STAT
Yours,
VIM a,

Dear Professor Mitchell:
I am looking forward to your participation in our evening discussion on
Egypt on Thursday, 24 January 1980. Our subject is, "The Stability of Egypt
at Peace." I am keenly anticipating the opportunity to explore Egypt's
problems and prospects, probably more comprehensively than we could do if that
country were currently involved in a more stressful situation. We shall be
joined by William B. Quandt, formerly of the NSC Staff, who is now at Brookings.
I hope we shall also have Ambassador Herman Eilts, who is at Boston University
but moving around on his research so actively that we have been unable to
reach him by phone.
Our plan for the evening is as follows: The company will assemble in my
conference room in the CIA Headquarters Building in Langley between 5:30 and
6:00. Refreshments will be served. Our discussion will begin at 6:00 and
continue until 8:30 or so. Dinner will be served at the conference table at
7:00. The company will be small, with our three outside experts (if we succeed
in recruiting Eilts), probably one guest each from State, Defense, and the NSC
Staff, and Agency officers and analysts, for a total of about fifteen. May I
ask you to prepare a brief, approximately fifteen minute, introductory state-
ment on your assessment of Egypt's problems and prospects. I am asking each
of our outside authorities for such a statement and I trust that the effect
will be not only to instruct us but also to kick off a lively discussion during
the remainder of the evening.
I have asked of my Academic Relations Staff to
complete the arrangements for the evening. Please call them if you require
further information or any assistance. Their telephone number is STAT
