The Visiting Committee of the Center for International Affairs (CFIA) held a secret meeting yesterday in Boston in order to avoid possible disruption by SDS. CFIA Director Robert R. Bowie refused to disclose the meeting's exact whereabouts or its contents.
In a statement released last night, Bowle revealed that Paul H. Nitze, a member of the U. S. team at the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks, chaired yesterday's annual meeting.
