Dear Al:
Thank you for participating in yesterday's breakfast meeting with defense experts and senators. My colleagues and I found the meeting informative and useful, especially since changing the direction of U.S. defense policy will be a difficult task.
It was reassuring to me that the group reached a consensus on the fundamental need for a strategy prior to restructuring our forces. I agree with your view that arms control should continue to play a role in our national security policy and that reductions should be achieved in the context of verifiable agreements.
Once again, thank you for your participation in yesterday's meeting.
Sincerely,

Dear Bob:
I just wanted to thank you for your work in arranging yesterday's breakfast meeting with defense experts and senators. My colleagues found the meeting just as informative and useful as I did.
Restructuring our forces will be a tough job, as you certainly know. As usual, you came up with a timely idea. I look forward to the breakfast meeting with retired military next week.
Thanks again.

MEMORANDUM
JANUARY 18, 1990
TO: SENATOR DOLE
FROM: MIRA BARATTA
SUBJECT: YOUR BREAKFAST MEETING ON MONDAY
Attached are bios of the defense experts that have been invited to the breakfast meeting. In addition, I have attached talking points for your introductory remarks to the group.
I wanted to briefly review some of the issues and arguments that will probably be raised during Monday's discussion:
-- WHAT ARE THE THREATS THE UNITED STATES NOW FACES? (The answer to this question drives the issue of how much to cut the defense budget.) The threat of a conventional war in Europe is diminishing. However, the strategic situation between the United States has not changed; the Soviets continue to modernize their large nuclear arsenal. With regard to the non-Soviet threats we face, one can see drug wars, terrorism, chemical weapons proliferation, and ballistic missile proliferation on the horizon. The threat of ballistic missiles in the hands of an unstable Third World dictator is an additional argument for an SDI system.
-- WHAT SHOULD U.S. DEFENSE PRIORITIES BE IN THE 90s?/AND IS THERE A PEACE DIVIDEND? Some will argue for cuts in manpower, but continued investment in high technology research and development as a hedge against the possibility of the situation in Europe and/or the Soviet Union changing for the worse. It is also a good recipe for confronting new threats. On the other hand, some will argue in favor of keeping personnel, but limiting procurement. The most liberal will argue that we don't need new strategic systems that are costly, such as the B-2, MX, Midgetman, Trident D-5 and SDI and we don't need many troops overseas. Those who argue the U.S. should end strategic modernization, however, ignores the fact that the one area in which we have seen little or no change is in the U.S. - Soviet strategic balance. The Soviets continue to modernize their strategic systems, so our best option is to seek reductions through mutual, verifiable negotiated reductions.
-- WHAT SHOULD THE U.S. ROLE IN EUROPE BE? Although we are involved with our NATO allies in negotiations with the Warsaw Pact on troop levels and equipment levels in Europe, and have a solid proposal, events are moving more quickly than the negotiations. Specifically, the Eastern Europeans want the Soviets out, but our Allies generally want a U.S. presence in Europe, even though they may not all agree how large a presence that should be or whether it should be military. Related to that is whether NATO should continue as a military organization. The Administration's position is that NATO will be a relevant and necessary institution into the future, regardless of the fate of the Warsaw Pact.

TALKING POINTS FOR INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS
* THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE THIS MORNING TO DISCUSS THE CRITICAL ISSUE OF U.S. DEFENSE POLICY IN THE 1990s.
* WE ARE WITNESSING MANY DRAMATIC CHANGES IN EASTERN EUROPE AND AROUND THE GLOBE.
* WE ARE IN A PERIOD OF TRANSITION AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT TRANSITION WILL BE, NOR WHAT DANGERS THERE MIGHT BE.
* SO, THE QUESTION WE ARE FACED WITH IS:
HOW DO WE RESPOND WITH RESPECT TO:
-- OUR DEFENSE BUDGET
-- OUR ALLIANCE RELATIONSHIPS
-- OUR ARMS CONTROL NEGOTIATIONS?
* WHAT SHOULD OUR DEFENSE AND FOREIGN POLICY OBJECTIVES BE? HOW FAR SHOULD WE GO AND HOW QUICKLY?
* WE ARE ALSO CONFRONTED WITH THE ISSUE OF WHETHER OR NOT THE CHANGES WE ARE SEEING ARE REVERSIBLE.
* IN MY VIEW, WHILE IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE FISCALLY WISE TO INCREASE OUR DEFENSE SPENDING, IT WOULD NOT BE MILITARILY WISE TO GUT THE STRONG DEFENSE WE BUILT IN THE 1980s.
* CLEARLY, THE THREAT OF A CONVENTIONAL WAR IN EUROPE IS DECREASING.
* WE NEED TO DEFINE OUR ROLE IN EUROPE, WITHIN NATO.
* HOWEVER, IN THE 1990s, THE UNITED STATES WILL ALSO FACE NEW THREATS, SUCH AS THE PROLIFERATION OF BALLISTIC MISSILES AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS, DRUG WARS AND TERRORISM.
* WE NEED TO PLAN FOR THOSE NEW CONTINGENCIES -- WITH NEW POLICIES, NEW TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS SDI, AND NEW TRAINING FOR OUR MILITARY.
* ON THE ARMS CONTROL FRONT, I BELIEVE WE SHOULD SEEK REDUCTIONS THROUGH VERIFIABLE TREATIES, RATHER THAN BY UNILATERAL ACTION.
-- ACHIEVING A CONVENTIONAL ARMS CONTROL AGREEMENT AT THE CFE TALKS IN VIENNA MAY BE A DIFFICULT TASK SINCE EVENTS IN EUROPE ARE MOVING SO QUICKLY -- WE HAVE TO ASK IF OUR POSITION IS STILL RELEVANT.
-- ON THE OTHER HAND, WHAT REMAINS RELATIVELY CONSTANT IS THE STRATEGIC BALANCE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION, SO IN MY VIEW, OUR START POSITION IS STILL ON TARGET.
* IN SUMMARY, THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS AND FEW ANSWERS TO DATE. I HOPE THIS DISCUSSION WILL HELP US COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS, AND MAYBE SOME ANSWERS.

Dear Dr. Allen,
It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in an informal breakfast meeting of defense experts, such as yourself, and a small bipartisan group of Senators, to discuss the critical issue of U.S. defense posture in the 1990s. This meeting will be held on January 22, 1990 at 9:00 in my Capitol office S-230.
In my view of the dramatic changes around the globe and U.S. deficit pressures, deciding the direction of United States defense policy is one of the most pressing matters the Administration and the Congress will face this year. In my view, the United States needs to reach a consensus on defense priorities and strategy early in the budget process and I hope that this discussion will illuminate the choices we have as a nation.
I have also invited Dr. Fred Ikle, Dr. Kim Holmes, Dr. Phillip Karber, Mr. Joseph Fromm, Dr. James Thomson, and Dean Albert Carnesale to participate. I hope that you will be able to attend. Please R.S.V.P to Joyce McCluney at (202) 224-5311.
