RE: Speaking Invitation
Dallas Council on World Affairs
Dallas, Texas
January 1988
President of the Dallas Council on World Affairs, Jack C. Vaughn, has
invited you to speak to the Council at a convenient date in January 1988. Due
to the Senate hearings, you were-unable to participate in a question and
answer period when you addressed the Council last February. (See opposite for
memo covering your appearance.) According to Mr. Vaughn, you expressed a
willingness to do a return engagement. You could expect an audience of
approximately 250 business and civic leaders. The suggested format is 30
minutes of remarks followed by 30 minutes of questions and answers. Media
coverage would be arranged at our request. However, the Council wishes to-
arrange a forum where you can speak with as much candor as possible.
Since you plan to be in Dallas on 19 January to speak to the Dallas
Chapter of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), I recommend that you take
this opportunity to address the Council. If you agree, a letter for your
signature is attached.

Dear Dr. Gates:
July 15, 1987
Your address to the members of the Dallas Council on World
Affairs on February 3, 1987 was the highlight of our 1987-1988
program year. The purpose of this letter is to extend another
invitation for you to visit Dallas. You may recall you were
unable to participate in a question and answer session due to
the Senate hearings so our members were pleased to hear that
you expressed a willingness to return to Dallas to speak again.
As you know, the Council is comprised of business and civic
leaders and people with an interest in international events and
topics. We would be delighted to provide you with a forum to
speak on any topic you wish.
January 1988 would be a good time for the Council; however,
we will be happy to accomodate your schedule.
We hope that you can accept our invitation to visit Dallas and
would look forward to making the necessary arrangements with your
staff. Coordination for a stay will be made with your staff by
ffajor General Willard Latham, USA (Ret.), Executive Director of
the Dallas Council on World Affairs.
Very sincerely,
WL/js/176
Jack C. Vaughi Jr.
President

SUBJECT: Trip to Dallas
In the "QUESTIONS ON" paragraph in the DCWA invitation, the organization
mentioned as "ticklers" contra aid, hostages, etc. This was done without our
knowledge. (See background tab.)
The Dallas Council is an independent, voluntary, nonpartisan organization
of civic-minded citizens and businessmen of Dallas. The total number of
members and volunteers is approximately 3,000. The purpose of the Council is
to enhance Dallas' stature as in international city and to promote the study
of world affairs. The Council encourages informed and intelligent discussion
of international events, and promotes programs of cultural interest to the
Dallas community. (See background materials for the DCWA board of directors
and the corporate contributors.) Previous speakers have included Vice
President George Bush, Secretary of State George Shultz, Ambassador
Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Ambassador Vernon Walters, Zulu Chief Mangosutho G.
Buthelezi, and Texas Governors William Clements and 1lark White. In September
1985 the Director spoke to this group and also met with ten of Dallas' leading
CEOs.
Sponsoring the meeting along with the the DCWA are the Public Affairs
Luncheon Club and the International Trade Association of Dallas/Fort Worth.
The Public Affairs Luncheon Club is a politically conservative group and the
International Trade Association is a nonpartisan group of businessmen
interested in international trade. (See background tab.)
