Dear Dr. Liebman:
From a variety of sources it has been suggested to us that there
might be developed here an organization of the Jewish people associated
with our Committee. v
An organization of this type has been affected in New York and has
apparently been of considerable importance* After rather careful consideration, it seems to me that the wisest method would be to invite to
a meeting, probably in the second week in Kiay, e large number o'f Jewish
people for the pupose of discussion. I enclose an incomplete list of
people to whom invitations might be sent.
I rather think that it would be better to meet in the evening rather
than in the" late afternoon. V7e can get a very satisfactory meeting place
:at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 28 Newbury Street, which
would give us a very dignified atmosphere.
-What I am getting at is this: Would you be willing to,so to speak,
open the discussion after some preliminary remarks of mine? I am
ai-dous not to put myself in the position of advising the Jewish people on
a matter which is clearly beyond my field. Fairly free discussion at
such a preliminary meeting should authorize us to decide whether a more
definite organization should be set up presumably at a second meeting.
Please let me know as promptly as convenient whether you approve of
such a move on our part and whether you will help to make it successful.
