0709 - Summary/Objective
0710 -
071001 - Follow up ref SDS 18 0000, ref SDS 17 0000.
071002 -
071003 - George thanked me for my letter, ref DIP 2 line 27.
071004 -
071005 - He asked about progress with Communication Metrics.
071006 -
071007 - I explained dual efforts to move the world forward and to make a
071008 - living.  He seeme to note that the record on the meeting with SCU was
071009 - interesting to him. He feels we need money to finance a school
071010 - evaluation program.  I explained this generally requires a strong
071011 - effort to get a meeting with someone who has authority to spend money.
071012 -
071013 - George said he was good friends with David Packard and noted he would
071014 - have been ideal to support the Communication Metrics program.
071015 -
071016 - I mentioned attending the event honoring David Packard shortly before
071017 - he died, sponsored by the Independent Institute, ref SDS 5 line 63,
071018 - and later submitting the NWO paper for David's consideration, but by
071019 - then he was too much retired to take it up.
071020 -
071021 - George said he has occassional meetings with friends who could be
071022 - contacts on something like this.  We considered the challenge of
071023 - raising the subject tangentially to discover potential for interest
071024 - in meeting on this.  George asked me to keep sending him information.
071025 -
071026 - I will send him the evaluation of Communication Metrics by COE and the
071027 - notes of the event on 950608 honoring David Packard, ref SDS 4 0000.
071028 -
071029 -      [Did this on 970515. ref SDS 19 0000.]

071032 -  ..
071033 - Communication Metrics - Intelligence and Diplomacy
071034 -
071035 - I mentioned General Hatch associating Communication Metrics with
071036 - military intelligence function. see 951229, ref SDS 8 2036
071037 -
071038 - Actually, George Shultz gave a talk that was broadcast yesterday on
071039 - CSPAN about the role of diplimacy in gathering useful intelligence.
071040 - He cautioned against over reliance on fancy technology in the age of
071041 - the Information Highway. He explained the increased need for analysis
071042 - and accurate reporting to overcome risks of information that flows too
071043 - fast, reflecting the book by Johanna Neuman on the impact of
071044 - technology on leadership, ref SDS 9 9405, also Kissinger, ref SDS 2
071045 - 4238, and MacNamera. ref SDS 3 5872
071046 -
071047 -     [On 980815 article says US "Intelligence" mistakes stem from too
071048 -     much information, not enough understanding. ref SDS 20 1173]
071049 -
071050 - Where General Hatch sees the Communication Manager as a "Leadership
071051 - Aide," George Shultz might see it as using "diplomacy" within the
071052 - organization.  General Vernon Walters was asked to assume this role in
071053 - the Reagan Administration. see meeting on 960410, ref SDS 10 7382
