Dear *:

\J
Early this year I proposed that an International LISP Conference
would be a useful and important event.
I am currently forming a Program Committee; John McCarthy
has agreed to  serve on the  committee and I am 
pursuing   other participants of his caliber.

I would  be most honored
if you would consent join that panel.

I am enclosing a preliminary  description of the conference.
The questions of funding, location, and date are still open.
The days of August 24 through 27 of 1980 are particularly attractive
since Stanford will be hosting an AI conference the preceding week.
Though the thrust of the LISP Conference is the non-AI contribution
of LISP to Computer Science, it would be beneficial to attract the
participants of that conference.
Clearly, if these dates are  chosen then decisions need to be made
very rapidly.

I hope you will accept this offer. I look forward to your response.
\.
