This is-background information for your remarks to the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) Seminar on Public Policy and the Private Sector on Tuesday, 12 April 8:15 - 9:00 a.m., at the OEOB Indian Treaty Room (room 474). Phone: 456-1414. ill accompany you and remain throughout the program. Although this is an early morning meeting, breakfast will not be served. 2. Arrangements: You are asked to be in room 474 of the OEOB at 8:15 a.m. where you will be met by Chairman of International Holdings, Inc. and Chairman of the YPO Washington Seminar, Warren Rustand who will escort you to the dais and introduce you. (See biography opposite.) Your remarks are scheduled to begin at 8:20 a.m. You are asked to give 20 minutes of remarks followed by 20 minutes of questions and answers. Adjournment is at 9:00 a.m. A podium and microphone will be available. DCI Security will tape your remarks for the Agency's historical files. Approximately 100 CEOs and spouses will attend the meeting. (See list of attendees opposite.) Neither foreign nationals nor media representatives will be present. Mr. Rustand did not believe there would be an overlap between the YPO group you addressed in Hawaii in February and the Washington Seminar. 3. Background: Although the meeting was open to all YPO members and therefore called an international meeting, the US members filled the openings first. The last YPO visit to Washington D.C. as an international group was in 1976. As a result of attending that meeting, YPO members have participated in public service including several who hold key positions in this administration. These include Deputy Director of OMB Joe Wright, Director of Presidential Personnel Bob Tuttle, Chief of Staff for the First Lady Jack Courtemanche, and Under Secretary of HUD Carl Covitz. The three-day seminar will focus on how public policy is formed and how the private sector can better interact with that policy formation. President Reagan, Secretary of Defense Carlucci, and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor also will speak to the group. (See complete agenda opposite.)

Gates Deputy Director for Intelligence Central Intelligence Agency Washington, DC 20505 Dear Deputy Director: The Young Presidents' Organization cordially invites you to meet with our group during our visit to the Nations capital April 11 - 13, 1988. Our last visit in Washington D.C. as an international group was in 1976. Many who were in attendance were moved to public service from that experience, including several members of the current administration. They are: Joe Wright, Deputy Director of- OMB; Bob Tuttle, Presidential Pwrsonnel Office; Jack Courtemanche, Chief of Staff for the First Lady; and Carl Covitz, Under Secretary of HUD. Our three day seminar is entitled Public Policy and the Private Sector. Our focus is on how public policy is formed and how the private sector can better interact with that policy formation. All of our participants are Chief Executive Officers of their companies. This will be an exceptional opportunity for these Presidents to hear from the top people in government and to solicit their views as to how we can affect a stronger interaction between the private and public sectors. We will consider your acceptance of our invitation to be a very high honor, indeed. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Warren S.

The suggested format is 30 minutes of remarks and 15 minutes of questions and answers. Former appointments Secretary to President Ford, Warren Rustand is Chairman of the seminar. The theme of the seminar is "Public Policy and the Private Sector." The focus will be on how public policy is formed and how the private sector can better interact with that policy formation. You could expect an audience of approximately 85-100 CEOs and presidents of their companies. The media will not cover the event. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Senator Bill Bradley, Mrs. Nancy Reynolds, Mrs. Ann McLaughlin and Representative Dick Cheney have agreed to speak at the seminar. Since Bob Gates spoke at an international YPO meeting in Hawaii in February, he is not interested in speaking to the group at this time. Although this would be a good group for you to address, you are already scheduled to speak to the American Society of Newspaper Editors on the 11th and on the 13th to the Evans-Novak Political Forum and the Regional Commerce and Growth Association.
