Dear Hal:
12 January 1984
Just a brief note to confirm our expectation that you will be able to
participate in the closing panel of our conference on Europe in the
Eighties. You will see from the. attached agenda that the panel will
follow Bob Osgood's presentation at 2:00 pm on Friday, April 6. Bob is
supposed .to assess the implications of the conference's findings for
US-European relations during the remainder of the decade. While you
might be at some disadvantage in not having been present at earlier
sessions, Bob's remarks are likely to be rather general.
The agenda sheet will give you some idea of the other participants.
As confirmations come in, we will add additional names to the list. And
as we move closer to the conference date, State should advise you of
administrative arrangements.
Hope you enjoyed your sojourn in the sun.

Just a brief note to advise you of progress on our conference on
Europe in the Eighties on which you were kind enouyh to share your views
with me in Boston. The attached agenda will give you some idea of the
issues to be addressed and of the participants who have already confirmed
their attendance.
We would be very pleased if your calendar will allow you to be with
us on Thursday and Friday, April 5 and 6. If you felt comfortable
leading the discussion (a presentation of some 15-20 minutes) on West
European attitudes toward the USSR and Eastern Europe, that would be
splendid: Alternatively, you could serve as ore of our discussants for
the entire session. A further option would be to participate in the
concluding panel on Friday afternoon.
Would ou be kind enough to let me know if you can loin us by calling
me at If so, the Department of State will advise you in STAT
due course of administrative arrangements.
Sincerely,
Milton Kovner
