Pxuxnt This meeting will be held August 9-15.
[ enclose a letter I received from Heden,
vhich you may already have.

Jid you mean Mike (E.M.) Foster rather than
Porter as one of the US members? We may
have trouble with him more from the other
side; his position is likely to be close

to that of Dennis Watson's, whom he knows
even more closely (personally and profes-
sionally) than I do from years back. How-
ever I have not seen him in 19 years, and

he inay be less hawkish about BW than before.

He will however tend to polarize Luria, I am

dure But Heden will be there too and he kno-
ws the score.

In view of the timing, I plan to call or
write Luria next week. I can copy most of
what may be needed from the material already
received. If there is a brief (one or two
page )fact sheet summarizing the present US
diplomatic position, that would be the most
helpful addition.

Sincerely,

(8/y/6)
