Dear Dr. Grabov,
Thank you for your letter of Nove.ber 12 regarding the Speciclists' Meeting in Cadarache.
The informa: ion is, in fact, the same piece of paper which we received in August.
It was inadeyate then, and it is inadequate now, since it gives neither deadlines nor addresses to which summaries and nominations can be sent.
I hope these defi-ciencies can be corrected. They were not very important in August, but they are very important ncw.
One U.S. participant has so far informed me of his intention to attend the conference and to present a paper.
His name is Richard U.
Knapp.
His nomination will be for. carded shortly through the usual official channels.
Now today, I have just received yo e letter of November 22 giving the deadlines and the places where the papers should be received.
It is obviously impossible to comply wi-h these idiotic desalines.
The summaries are required to be in France on December 1, yet the letter is only received in my office on i m ember 29. This leaves tuc whole days for me to inform potential U.S. participants and for then to get the information to France. This is nonsense.
I protest most strongly against this unbusinesslike and un;r:>fessional managenent of the con-ference.
If the fault lies with -: e agency, then it should do better.
If the fault lies with the sponsct-9; organication, -hen it should be requested to do better, and it shcuid be required to change its dead-lines.
I will this day forward this letter to potential U.S. recipients and instruct them to proceed as quicklj as possibic, but that tne deedlines as stated are not possible to meet.

It is not cicar to me that a rartici-pant sculd choose to cross the Atlantic Ocean for sucn a s;,111 rertici-patian, but I will leave tha; up to prosp.:ctive participants.
Since writing the aboya, we nave receivsa the folicuin-] cdlitional requests for ncmin: tic,13 which cra also being forwarded thecu3h officini channels:
