Analysis determined that it would not be feasible to continue with
the planned conference (see attached memo from the Director of African
and Latin American Analysis). Booz, Allen and Hamilton, Incorporated
has since submitted a termination claim in the amount of $15,573.45.

2 9 MAR 11.2.3
FROM: John K. Allen, Jr.
Director of African and Latin American Analysis
SUBJECT:
Justification for Cancellation of ALA/AF/S
Contracts for 7-8 April 1988 Conference on
South African Labor
1. South Africa Branch, Africa Division of the Office of
African and Latin American Analysis, has determined that it will
not be feasible to continue with the planned conference on South
African laber, first scheduled for 25-26 February, and subsequently
postponed to 7-8 April 1988.
2. We believe that it will be impossible to hold a conference
which justifies the financial cost and use of analysts' time.
Circumstances beyond our control led to this decision. The State .
Department in January retracted their agreement to cosponsor the
conference because of concern over the political sensitivity of the
subject. As a result, even seasoned conference attendees were
reluctant to participate in the conference. More importantly,
labor specialists, critical to the success of the conference, were
unwilling to participate or attend.
3. Our contractor, Booz, Allen and Hamiliton, concurred with
our decision to terminate the project. They worked diligently to
obtain qualified participants, but State De artment opposition to
the conference made that very difficult.
4. We believe that the contractor performed adequately and is
entitled to reasonable compensation of charges which the DI
Contract Office determines to be properly documented and justified.
No further performance is expected, and the contract may be closed.
5. We appreciate the time and effort that the contracting and
logistics teams have devoted to this project.
