Dear Mr. Casey:
Senior administration officials have declared terrorism as one of
the major threats to American foreign policy. The latest CSIS
Contingencies Paper "On Terror and Civil Liberties" by CSIS Senior
Associate Robert*H. Kupperman.expands on that theme in several, highly
important ways. First, Bob highlights the largely "invisible and
ironic" threat posed by terrorism to our civil liberties, namely that
overreaction in implementing counter-terrorist policies could provoke
a cure as bad or worse than the affliction itself. Second, he suggests
exploring the possibility of joint U.S. - Soviet initiatives to
control international terrorism.. These initiatives may lead nowhere
or may only be marginally effective. But, they also might lead to
containment of future terrorist related incidents before superpower
crisis was precipitated.
This paper is timely and important. We hope it will make a
useful contribution.
Sincerely,
Harlan K. Ullman
Project Director
