I have looked at your latest cursorily. I didn't understand very well
precisely what is asserted to have been accomplished. Perhaps I will
understand better if we get together and I ask you some questions.

The San Diego resolution in favor of getting the 4IJCAI moved
from Tblisi was a big mistake for the following reasons:

1. The logistical reason for wanting to move it is quite thoughtless
of the interests of anyone but Americans. The Committee decided to
hold alternate conferences in North America and the one after this at
M.I.T. in particular. If the IJCAIs are to be international at all, this
is about as far as one can reasonably go in accomodating the fact
that most of the people working in AI are Americans. After all, it is
still much easier for us to cross the Atlantic than it is for
Europeans.

2. Proposing to move the conference more than a year after the
original decision and after the Erik Sandewall and the Russians have
put in a large amount of preliminary work, especially when the proposal
accompanies Anthony Ralston's proposal of a boycott if we don't get our
way is a proposal that the American AI community throw its weight around
in a way incompatible with an international organization. If this is
done, the rest of the world will justifiably feel that IJCAI's informal
organization is not justifiable and that the only possibility is the
extreme one-country-one-vote formalism of IFIP. If we ever go in for
that, IJCAI will no longer be run by scientists but by semi-professional
officials.

3. The political reason for moving the conference resembles the recent
Paris UNESCO decision to carry out no projects in Israel and is just
as unjustifiable.

The recent concentration of articles and letters in the SIGART
Newsletter on international and SIGART politics suggests that many
people have nothing to say about scientific topics. It is suggested that
the editors reduce the amount of such stuff by a factor of ten. AI is
a difficult enough subject without SIGART serving mainly as a distraction.

I like your statement. You went into many issues in more detail than
I have been or will be able to take time for. However, Les as chairman
of SIGART has decided not to act on the San Diego meeting's resolution
for a variety of reasons so the issue may be somewhat moot. A chairman's
statement from him will be in the Newsletter, and they can publish a
statement from me which accompanies this note if they want. Some other
people might want to see your statement, but I hesitate to suggest that
you send it to the Newsletter, because perhaps enough has been said. It
would be better for people to discuss some scientific topic for a change.

In view of Les's decision not to act on that resolution, the question

the considerations concerning we Americans not throwing our weight

Here is the resolution passed, but I have learned one fact
since I wrote which makes the matter less urgent - namely, Les Earnest
as chairman of SIGART has decided not to take the advice of the meeting
and their will be no mail ballot. He thinks it's too late and anyway it's
a different organization. Therefore, I do not recommend putting the
thing on the bulletin board, but rather put something on the bulletin
board having to do with AI.

Those present at the annual business meeting of the Special
Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGART) held at the ACM-74
Annual Conference in San Diego, California on November 11, 1974
have unanimously voted for the following resolution:

"For a variety of logistic, scientific, and political reasons
we find the location of the Soviet Union for the IJCAI-4 unsatisfactory
and ill-considered. We recommend that the IJCAI Conference Committee
immediately seek a new location for this conference. We also request
that a referendum of the full membership of SIGART on this issue be
carried out by mail at the earliest possible time."

The vote was 31-0 with one abstention.

I think we should hold 4IJCAI in Tblisi as planned except in
case it looks like Israeli delegates will not be admitted on the same
basis as others. There has been trouble with this in the past. For
example, Zohar Manna, then at Stanford, was invited to a Soviet conference
on mathematical theory of computation held at Novosibirsk. When it
turned out that he was an Israeli, they stalled on his visa and he
didn't get to go. The other Stanford delegates went, and when we
arrived it still looked as though there was a chance. I now think
that we should have wired the organizers at the first sign of trouble
that unless a visa for Zohar were forthcoming, there would be no
Stanford attendance.
There has been a recent similar case involving an Israeli geophysicist
who teaches at Stanford.
However, it presently appears that Israeli delegates to international
conferences are getting visas though sometimes at the last minute.

The issues raised by Minker all existed at the time the decision
was made at 3IJCAI to hold the conference in the Soviet Union. Bert
Raphael is mistaken in saying that the only complete invitation was
from the Soviet Union. There were invitations from both Japan and
West Germany, and I personally favored accepting the Japanese
invitation, mainly on the grounds that Japan has done more work in AI
than the Soviet Union, but partly on the grounds mentioned by Minker.

There are still some facts to be determined about the Soviet
treatment delegates from Israel and possibly other countries like
Nationalist China with whom the Soviet Union doesn't have diplomatic
relations. (Israelis were the only people at 3IJCAI who might have
trouble except possibly Chileans). If the situation turns out to be
worse than it presently seems, we might have to move the conference
sicce the issue was raised at 3IJCAI, and informal assurances were
obtained from the Soviet delegates present.

Josh:
I fear this may not be very responsive to your concerns.
The idea that the von Neumann architecture of computers and the
addressed organization ought to be replaced by something else dates back
to the 1950s. Of course, it may be right, but there is has been no
convincing candidate to replace it. If the idea were new, then you might
have some reason to hope that the committee activity would develop
such a candidate, but, as it stands, the best the committee qua committee
can do is recommend that the administrators of the research program
promise to be receptive to such ideas as may appear.
I think that the amount DoD proposes to invest in new memory
ideas is reasonable, and there is likely to be a good payoff. However,
I don't think that physical memory is the nutrient limiting the growth of
the utility that DoD or society gets out of computers. The problem is
one of flexibility of the linkage among computer systems which may require
a small amount of AI. My ideas on this are somewhat vague, and I think
I would make more sense face-to-face especially as I have a cold right
now. I have a few ideas more directly in memory organization, but they
are in even worse shape.

I am willing to consider specific hardware proposals accompanied by
a description of the research they are in support of. Let me remind you,
however, that much of our manpower is tied up in implementing a major
hardware task - the PDP-11+SPS-41+ZONKER - of which you were one of the
main advocates and presumed beneficiaries.
General agitation and complaints about LES's attitude unless accompanied
by specific proposals about which we can argue. Unfortunately, it is hard
for me to conclude that the main problem with mobile vehicle research is
lack of hardware, because after more than five years there is still no
software and hardware plan, which if implemented successfully, would result in
driving the cart around the lab. Guidance by horizon is only a limited
goal.
If you and Baumgart and Binford or any two thereof as the research
associates interested in vision were to come up with a plan and include it
in your draft of the new proposal, it would have a high chance of funding
if it didn't cost too much.

I think it was irresponsible for a SIGART meeting to propose a change
in the location of the AI conference at this late date. It is simply
a gratuitous expression of hostility to the Russians without likelihood
of serious effect. IJCAI is an organization of individuals and not
of national organizations. It is better this way, because it avoids
the endless business meetings if IFIP etc. A side effect is that
Americans dominate IJCAI, because of our greater activity in AI and
our greater ability to travel. This situation will be tolerable to
non-Americans only if we show reasonable sensitivity to other people's
position and problems. This precludes our advocating two meetings in
a row in the U.S. giving our travel expense as the reason. The political
reasons for not holding the meeting in the Soviet Union were on my
mind when I advocated holding it in Japan and was voted down mostly
by my fellow Americans. As you know, the worry about the Russians not
admitting Israeli delegates was resolved by Zohar Manna's letter giving
the results of his question to the Israeli Foreign Ministry; they said
there had been no problem in the last few years. Therefore, we have
no reasonable excuse but to accept the inconvenience and hold the
meeting in Tblisi. I was asked to report on the advisability of creating
a formal international AI organization at the next meeting and have
concluded to advocate postponing it for another two years, and part
of my reason is that Tblisi is not a good place for a founding meeting,
because the meeting there will be attended by people who cannot
take part as individuals in international organizations.

Are you going to publish your thesis? I have a number of comments -
some significant and some trivial. Also, what are you working on
now?

I have just got around to reading your thesis (borrowed from Richard),
and I would like to talk with you about imbedding the its formalism in
(or a similar formalism) in FOL. Do you have another copy of the thesis
I could have.
?

After thinking it over, I consider it improper for you to
produce Xerox confidential documents on natural language processing
which is the same subject you are getting paid for at the AI Lab.
It is selling the same thing twice. There would be no problem if
you were consulting for Xerox on a different topic than the subject
of your work here. Please think about it and let me know your
opinion.

I sent Patty a one line message, and it used 160 disk ops. It turned out
that this was because I had a large outgo.msg file. I transferred the
file and started a new outgo.msg, but nevertheless 160 disk ops seems too
many. Also perhaps others are doing the same.
