Dear Ambassador Veliotes:
02 MAR 1988
I appreciate your invitation to address the Association of American
Publishers annual meeting in Palm Beach March 20-22 or at one of your Board
meetings. Although it would please me very much to speak to your group, I am
unable to make a firm commitment at this time. My spring schedule is hectic,
but perhaps you will consider asking-me again some time in the future.
Best wishes for a successful program.
Sincerely yours,
Is/ William H. Webster
William H. Webster

RE: Speaking Invitation
Association of American Publishers
Annual Meeting
Palm Beach, Florida
20-22 March 1988
17 February 1988
President of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) and former US
Ambassador to Egypt, Nicholas A. Veliotes, has invited you to be the keynote
speaker either Sunday, 20 March, or Monday, 21 March, at their annual meeting
in Palm Beach. The suggested format is 20 minutes of remarks on a topic of
your choice and 10 minutes of questions and answers. You could expect an
audience of 150-200 CEOs in the publishing business representing such
companies as Random House, McGraw-Hill, and Harper & Row. (See opposite for
brochure and membership list.)
As an alternative, the organization also has invited you to address one of
their Board of Directors meetings in Washington sometime in April or May. The
Board includes 20 CEO's from the general trade, educational, and technical
publishing houses.
Since you are already scheduled to speak to-the-Anti-Defamation League on
March 22nd and the American Business Council March 23rd, I recommend that you
decline the invitation to address the AAP's annual meeting on March 21st. The
months of April and May -- when you might address the Board of Directors --
are also heavily committed, and board meetings of 20 are a small audience. If
you agree, please sign the attached letter.
