I am currently scheduled to be in meetings on the East Coast on October 11 and thus will not be able to attend the Houston meeting. Jim Derrick -----Original Message----- From: IFaskianos@cfr.org@ENRON Sent: Monday, October 08, 2001 9:55 AM To: Derrick Jr., James Subject: Houston Session with Council Fellow Walter Russell Mead, October 11 Dear James: I wanted to draw your attention to our upcoming dinner discussion on America's Foreign Policy Tradition and the War on Terrorism. Walter Russell Mead, Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, will lead the discussion and Norman B. Frankel, Physician at the Medical Clinic of Houston, will chair and host. The dinner will take place on Thursday, October 11, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the River Oaks Country Club, located on 1600 River Oaks Boulevard. In light of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Bush administration is faced with the unique challenge of building a national consensus for what could be the longest, most complex, and most difficult war in American history. Walter Russell Mead will discuss how America's foreign policy tradition, defense culture, and diplomatic history will influence President Bush and America in responding to the terrorist threat. Walter has just completed a study of the history of U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and written a book, Special Providence, due to be published by Knopf in November. Please let me know if you plan to participate. Regards, Irina Irina A. Faskianos National Director Council on Foreign Relations Tel. 212/434-9465 Fax 212/434-9829
