Box 401 Cambridge, MA 02238 Dear Mr. Stark: Thank you for inviting CIA Director William J. Casey to write an article or be interviewed on combatting terrorism for the Harvard International Review, April issue. Since the Department of State is the U.S. Government's focal point for policy and information on.terrorism, it would not be appropriate for the CIA to accommodate your request. I suggest that instead you may wish to contact the appropriate office in the State Department. Its address is: Office for Combatting Terrorism Department of State M/CT Room 2238 Washington, DC 20520 Phone: (202) 632-3451 Sincerely, Georg V.

Box -14)1, Camhri,6, ,\IA 02238 March 8, 1985 STAT Director William J. Casey Central Intelligence Agency Washington, DC 20505 Dear Director Casey: I am writing to invite you to participate in a symposium on combatting terrorism in the Harvard International Review. The International Review is an undergraduate journal o foreign a airss tT at appears six times annua y. Each issue of the magazine is devoted to a specific topic in current world events and contains essays by and interviews with noted experts in the field to be examined. As Director of the CIA, you are a natural choice for our issue on terrorism. Incidentally, I am a resident Oyster Bay, and I was recently talking to an acquaintance of yours, He mentioned to me that the effort to keep terrorism out of the US is at the top of your list of priorities at the CIA. I hope that you will be able to write a short essay (3000-5000 words) on the problem of combatting terrorism. If that will not be possible, perhaps we could arrange an interview either in Washington, or New York, whichever is more convenient for you. I would like to suggest some questions that you may want to cover in your essay, or that we may touch upon in an interview: What is the role of the CIA in fighting international political terrorism? What is being done to prevent terrorist attacks such as those that have plagued Western Europe from spreading to U.S. soil? Will terrorist attacks against American lives and property abroad likely increase or decrease in the near future? What are some of the limitations on the use of intelligence to prevent terrorism? What is the proper role of military force in fighting terrorism? When is retaliation justified and what forces are available for rescue missions in hostage situations? These are only suggestions. If you have other issues that you would prefer to address, please feel free to do so. If you would be interested in writing the essay, please let me know at your earliest convenience. The deadline for articles is April 1. If you would prefer to set up an interview, any time between now and April 12 will be fine with me. Please address all correspondence to the Harvard International Review, 17 South Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. Our telephone num er is (617)-M-9607. Enclosed please find the most recent issue of the magazine. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
