NATIONAL POLICY FORUM TI12240270

Ne~er in American -lzistory have so many important public i~su~.s b~.en outMde th~ control of government. And meanM~iI~ our world is changing faster than at any time since the early of the Industrial Re,~'olution. The forces drMng policy today are science and technoloz< irttertwined with a new set of economic realities. In Washington, a town awash in attome!~z and absorbed in tactics, there are few who understand the power of these forces. Whether the issue is health, the future of communism, the ecoaom); or national defense, effective policy is likely to demand an approach unconve~ational by Washington standards. For nearly three decades, Hudsc, n Instilute has worked to marry polio3' making vAth a grasp of technological and economic change. That focus continues with our 1989 National Policy Forum. On SeptemF~er 13, Hudson will host an interesting day of discussions on national issues of great import. We hope you ~11 attend. As you can see, the Forum will feature a stimulating discussion of four important national policy issues, with an emphasis on nontraditional approaches. Secretary of Defem~e Richard Chency will deliver the keynote address at a luncheon banquet to inaugurate the James Doolittle Award for outstanding contributions to the national security of the United States. Mr. David Packard has been selected as the first recipient. I hope that you will be able to join us on September 13 at the National Press Club, for a view of Washingtort's problems from a non-Washington perspective. Please use the enclosed response card to make your reservation. I look forward to seeing you at Hudson's National Policy Forum. Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. President and Chief Executive Officer TI12240271

The consequence "represents a historical tragedy. Born out of an impatient idealism that rejected the injustice of the status quo, it sought a better and more humane society--but produced mass oppres- sion." Coping with communism's failure is no less a test for U.S. policy than containing its expansion. 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. SO~qET MILITARY IN TRANSITION, A KEY NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE Gem William E. Odom - Director of National Security Studies, Hudson Institute; Director, National Security Agency, 1985-1088 The Soviet military buildup in the postwar era, unprecedented in its size and sophistication, made the Soviet Union a one- dimensional superpower. Coming to grips with the economic and political costs of the buildup, and a daunting technological disadvantage, Gorbachev has launched a major transition in the Soviet military to redress the political and economic legacy. The implications for the West remain uncertain, presenting both opportunitic.s and dangers. TI12240273
