SUBJECT: Insurgency Conference
It looks like a very interesting conference you had on insurgency in
the next decade. I'd like to see any papers used by the participants, or
a summary of the conference if it is available, particularly those dealing
with propaganda, technology, organizing Third World nations, and assessing
progress in containing insurgency.
