Cher Collègue,

        Je vois que tu est débordé comme moi, aussi. C'est la saison, je
suppose!

        Je écris pour demander un rendez-vous, et pour vous envoyer la liste
modifié des participants, avec biographies (incomplet bien entendu!).

à très bientôt, j'espère,
Francis Feeley

FROM: Francis McCollum Feeley

Dear Gentlemen:

        I am teaching in the UFR d'Anglais at l'Université Stendhal, as
professor of American Civilization, and since September 2000 I have served
as the director of a Research Center,  Centre d'information et d'étude sur
les stratégies internationales des mouvements et sociétés anglophones
(CIESIMSA).  Early last spring, I spoke with Bernard Drugman, the Director
of your UFR at D.G.E.S., about the International Colloquium my Research
Center is organizing for January 11 and 12, 2002. The theme of this
interdisciplinary conference is, "L'Impact des entreprise mutinationales
américaines dans la sociètè".

        We are bringing together for this event a group of internationally
known economists, political scientists, historians, and sociologists. I am
sure you will recognize some of the names of specialists who have already
accepted to present papers at this meeting, such as: Edward Herman,
Professor of Finance at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania,
Bertell Ollman, Professor of Political Science at NYU, Dan Schiller,
Professor of Communication at the University of Illinois, Douglas Dowd,
Professor of Economic History at Johns Hopkins University, Richard Du Boff,
Samuel and Etta Wexler Professor Emeritus of Economics at Bryn Mawr College,
Jerry Mander, President of the International Forum on Globalization (IFG),
Christian de Montlibert, Professor of Sociology at the University of
Strasbourg, Allen Pessin, Professor of Sociology at the University of
Grenoble, Michael Albert, founding editor of "ZMagazine" in Boston, Fred
Lonidier, Professor of Photography at the University of California-San
Diego, Michael Parenti, Political Scientist from Berkeley, Susan George,
from ATTAC, Serge Halimi, from Le Monde diplomatique, and the list goes on....

        Professor Drugman suggested that I contact you directly to invite
you to this prestigious conference. Many of the papers will be published,
both in French and in English. Interpreters will be present to assist the
audience of we hope 1,000 people understand the presentations made both in
French and in English.

        If you are interested in participating in this International
Colloquium and discussing your ideas with internationally known economists
and other academics, I would like to invite you to contact me as quickly as
possible.

        This two-day conference is planned to be a very large event held in
the Louis Weil Amphitheater, with a seating capacity of nearly 1000. The
individual "Ateliers", which will be help between "Plenary Sessions" will be
held in smaller Amphitheaters, accommodating 100 or 200 people.

        Thanks you in advance for your attention to this important request.
I shall look forward to hearing from you in the near future, if you are
interested in participating next January in this International Colloquium.

Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley
