Dear Trustees:

As we have indicated many times over the last several months, both verbally and in writing, we are willing to meet with you personally to dialogue on any matter whatsoever.

Accordingly, and pursuant to a verbal conversation between Richard Keeler and Gard Jameson, we would like to extend to you a formal invitation to join us (as many members of the Executive Committee who can stay over) for dinner on Saturday, November 18, 1989 when the Executive Committee meets in Chicago.

The purpose of this meeting would be to facilitate dialogue on the issues which are obviously of concern to each of our organizations. The content and tone of your recent correspondence and the increasing unwillingness of the trustees to dialogue with us on these matters suggests that your position may have hardened. For the benefit of the reader community and the revelation itself, we feel it to be a supreme responsibility to make ourselves available for sincere, open, and honest dialogue on these issues before actions are taken which might cause harm to our purposes.

In addition to this sincere offer to dialogue, we would like to make a suggestion. In the interests of preventing a further deepening of this relationship crisis, we would like to suggest consideration of the use of a third party conciliating commission, consistent with higher universe pattern, to help resolve these issues. Certainly we both would be able to identify individuals whose objectivity and integrity we would trust to review both organizations' opinions and objectives and arrive at some fair‑minded reconciliation which would enable each of our organizations to pursue its respective purposes with the willing cooperation and healthy support of the other.

Please let us know if you would like to engage in either and hopefully both of these suggested reconciliation activities.

Thanks for an early response.

Yours in fellowship,

David Elders, President

For the Executive Committee
