Dear Betty:
Through a clerical error, the letter
in Mr. Casey's conference kit was
addressed to "Dear Participant"
rather than to him personally. Mr.
Friendly was very upset when we
discovered this, and 2'd appreciate
it if you would substitute the attached
new letter for the offending old one.
Many thanks.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Washington for the
taping of our "International Conference on Terrorism," on
Saturday, September 27, 1986.
The enclosed program contains not only the agenda for the
day, but also an impressive list of conferees; we are de-
lighted you are among them.-
The four hypothetical case studies represent the starting
points for each of the seminars. The moderators will, of
course, add facts as that is the nature of the exercise.
The conference will be videotaped at the Senate Caucus Room
of the Russell Senate Office Building for broadcast in
January 1987 on PBS.
To assist us in the videotaping of the programs we request
that you not bring beepers or watches with audio signals
into the seminar room. We will be pleased to make arrangements
so that in an emergency you will be notified.
If you have any questions, please call my colleague, Barbara
Eddings, at 212/280-3666.

First Conference Session
"Incident in the Mediterranean: Rescue and Response"
Part I
Moderator: Arthur R. Miller
With the dollar up and airfares down, many Americans have
put aside their fears of terrorism to vacation in Europe.
One of this season's most popular destinations on the con-
tinent is the country of Tiberius, a democratic ally of the
United States. It is a country of ancient tradition and
contemporary charm which has captured much of the tourist
trade.
This morning, an Air Tiberius jet leaving the capital city
and bound for New York was hijacked. Flight 99 was diverted
to an airport in the Middle Eastern country of Cedaron, a
small nation devastated by civil war and lacking a stable
government. Among the one hundred passengers on board Flight
99 are 55 Americans and 25 Tiberius nationals. The remaining
passengers are from Great Britain, France, Canada, and other
countries.
Upon landing in Cedaron, the hijackers seat a message indi-
cating they are members of a heretofore unknown group called
"Brothers Loyal Unto Death," or BLUD. Their purpose, the
statement said, is to unite the "True Believers" of the
Middle East against the "Great Oppressor" -- the United
States, Israel, and their allies. Since the initial message,
there has been no communication from the hijackers and no
sign of action on the plane.

Second Conference Session
"Incident in the Mediterranean: Rescue and Response"
Part II
Moderator: Arthur R. Miller
With the resolution of the takeover of Air Tiberius Flight
99 two days ago, the mood in America is somber. In the days
since the hijacking, foreign travel has fallen sharply,
public discussion has become heated, and BLUD is on the
lips of almost everyone.
BLUD has remained silent and there have been no other major
terrorist incidents by any other groups.

Third Conference Session
"Violence in Northern Shamrock: Terrorism or Civil War?"
Moderator: Harold Evans
The Shamrock Liberation Armed Movement (SLAM) is a militant
group of Roman Catholics in Northern Shamrock. Northern
Shamrock is part of a commonwealth headed by the nation of
Great Ally. The Republic of Shamrock won its independence
from Great Ally 75 years ago.
SLAM has adopted such violent tactics as bombings and
ambushes in its fight for Northern Shamrock's independence
from Great Ally. Many civilians and an increasing number
of Allied soldiers have been killed in attacks for which
SLAM has claimed responsibility. In fact, a recent
bombing killed a high-level aide of the Allied Prime
Minister.
This morning a letter arrived in the office of the Allied
Prime Minister. It was signed by Kelly O'Dare, the chief
of SLAM's political wing. In part, the letter said that
SLAM wants to "put an end to the violence," and toward
that end the letter requested a private meeting between
O'Dare and the Prime Minister.

Fourth Conference Session
"Terror at Home: Challenges for a Free and Open Society"
Moderator: Charles R. Nelson
It is Friday morning in Metropolis and moat of this
western city's 700,000 residents are going about tl-eir
morning routines. In the city parks department, activity
is at a fever pitch. In just three weeks Metropolis will
celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding and a
major festival is being planned.
Shortly after 9:00 a.m. Metropolis authorities receive
a phone call from a reliable informant. Inforsation he
provides indicates that a violent attack will take place on
the Metro International Airport. The attack will be carried
out by members of DART (Destroy American Repression Today.)
DART is an unknown acronym and law enforcement files con-
tain no reference to any such group. Five years ago the
FBI put an end to a series of bombings perpetrated by
START (Stop American Repression Today), a Liberanian group.
Liberania is a Middle Eastern country ruled by a dictator.
