	Grenada is in a state which might make feasible a major
experiment in Government.  Its people have no confidence in its
last two regimes and this lack of confidence seems to extend to all its
politicians.  When interviewed, both its people and its public
figures say they would like the U.S. to stay for a long time.
However, the U.S. has strong reasons for wanting to get out
as quickly as possible.

	The idea is that the Good Government Corporation of Palo
Alto California make a proposal to the people of Grenada along
the following lines.  In turn for a modest fee and modest expenses,
the Good Government Corporation will govern Grenada in accordance
with the details of the proposal for a fixed period.  The contract
will be renegotiated at the end if it seems desirable to both
parties.

	Here is an outline proposal.  It is in a more specific form
than my thoughts actually are, but an actual proposal would be even
more detailed.  Starting on January 1, 1985, the Good Government
Corporation will provide five officials to operate the higher levels
of the Grenadian Government.  These individuals will be selected by
the Corporation from candidates who respond to our advertisement.
Likely candidates include present local or national officials of the
U.S. or foreign countries, university professors and business men.
Their salaries will be the same or modestly increased over their
previous jobs except that it won't be possible to pay the higher levels
of business salaries.

	They will reside in Grenada for four years and will be paid
reasonable relocation expenses.  They will not be citizens of Grenada.
They will agree not to accept any other income from Grenada or that
can be interpreted as having any relation to Grenada.  The Corporation
will guarantee their honesty and will pay damages if they default.
However, the Corporation may replace them during the term of the
contract if they prove unsuitable or are unable to function.
The contract is to be interpreted according to the laws of the State
of California.  The Corporation offices will remain in Palo Alto,
and its president and board of directors will supervise the operation
of the contract.  Neither the U.S. nor any other Government will supervise
the Corporation except in the sense that all corporations are subject
to the laws of the state where incorporated.

	The Corporation will operate general government, police, legal,
health, education, and commerce departments.  It will take Singapore
as its economic model.  It will guarantee freedom of speech and press.
Annual confirmations of the contract will be subject to vote of the
Grenadian people.

	The Corporation does not propose to provide defense services.
Our preferred arrangement is that the Corporation police service,
operated by Grenadians under the Corporation's police chief provide
such protection as may be required against domestic plots and coup
attempts.  Protection against foreign intervention be provided
either by a U.S. or by the Carribean defense force promise to return
if there is an invasion.
It is preferred that neither be resident on Grenada, and we expect this to
suffice.

	The Corporation should send a few people to Grenada to
explore the possibilities and make its proposal to the interim
government and by advertisement in the newspaper.  It might be
best if the advertisement already contained the names of the
Corporation's president and board of directors and the names
and functions of the five proposed officials.

	The profit of to the Corporation will be 20 percent of
the proposed expenses.
