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 emt ORGANZAT ws Vaal ON & MOSASEMENT wifia ‘discussions mer oa ~'hO Coe 2 a, a REPRODUCTION FROM THIS COPY, TF CLASSIFIED, 18 PROH| B} TED
