1.
I have Just geen Dr. Bugher' s message to Dr. Boss (Departrent telegrar 2796) and while we here do not have full background his recommendations, we believe it is important for us
ho wake some affirmative response to invttation reported Em-
bassy's 3095.
After weeks of careful effort on part all concerned including
te
splendid and apparenvly effective hospitality shown Tsuzuki by
AE*, we have just got to point where we could anticipate discussica petweern our scientists and Japanese in reascnably cain at-
resphere.
Although three items mentioned in agenda were discussed much earlier with certain Japanese by AEC representatives here
montus egc, this conference would reach many more people here,
wo.id bring Japanese scientific community into much closer and
less suspicious relationship to curs and would, I hope, lay
grcuadwork for vapanese to retreat from some of extreme positions
they have taken regarding perils of radioactivity.
I realize
from scientific point of view further discussion these matters
would require time for preparation but actually meeting itself
and attitude of American participants probably mcre impcrtant than
actual data to be exchanged, especially as it would in any event
bce unclassified.
-.
We are not sure it would be better hold conference afte
settlerent cf claims.
It is our view that conference’ coul a vnelp
us with settiement of claims by helping reveal lack of basis for
ceny of them.
Also after settlement, we would see far less need
for a conference unless it approached principally from standpoint
of advanced scientific interchange.
4,
Quite apart from foregoing, we run some considerable risk of
undoing value of Tsuzuki visit and Boss-Donaldson visit here if
after having sought to bring about Japanese invitation to our
scientists, we now decline that invitation.
I fear this would
reawaken Suspicions and sensitivities and cause scientific groups
here te Suspect we had little interest after all in hclding
