RE: Speaking Invitation
Council of American Ambassadors
State Department
1 December 1988
Executive Director of the Council of American Ambassadors, James E.
Meason, has invited you to address the Council on Thursday afternoon,
December 1st at the State Department. The suggested format is 30 minutes of
remarks on the role of the Intelligence Community in foreign policy
formulation, the problems encountered with Congress in the intelligence area,
and the impact of rapid technological innovation on intelligence gathering
capabilities followed by 30 minutes of questions and answers. The program
will be on a non-attribution basis. However, ABC Moscow Bureau Chief, Walt
Rodgers, will moderate the morning panel and will attend the afternoon
session. You could expect an audience of approximately 60 current and former
non-career US Ambassadors. (See list of members opposite.)
The program will cover two basic issues: the foreign policy transition
(morning session) and aspects of Reagan Administration foreign and national
security policy (afternoon session). As of this date Robert McFarlane and
Deputy Secretary of Defense William Taft have agreed to speak to the
ambassadors during the afternoon program. The Council is waiting to hear from
Secretary George Shultz, General Colin Powell, and Vice Chairman Joint Chiefs
of Staff General Robert Herres. The morning panelists for the transition
program will remain undetermined until after the election. President of the
Center for Strategic and International Studies, Ambassador David Abshire will
give the luncheon address.
The Council, a bi-partisan organization, sponsors semi-annual meetings on
international affairs issues. Speakers in previous years have included Vice
President Bush, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar, and
William Colby. Bill Casey hosted the ambassadors in 1986 at the Agency's
Headquarters Building and addressed the Council along with several NIO's.
Given the strong emphasis on transition issues and since you plan to be in
New York on the evening of the 1st -- this would make a tight commute --
I recommend that you decline this invitation. If you agree, please sign the
attached letter.

Dear Mr. Meason:
a NOV 1988i.
I appreciate your invitation to speak to the Council of American
Ambassadors at your meeting in Washington on December 1st. I would certainly
enjoy participating, but my schedule is already heavily committed for that
day. I must leave for New York in the afternoon which does not allow enough
time to address the Council. I hope you will understand.
Please give my regards to the Ambassadors, and best wishes for a
successful program.
Sincerely yours,
.;
