ABSTRACT

Following the 1 991 IPA Congress in Buenos Aires, planning resumed for the September meeting in New York between the IPA officials and those complaining about the claimed deficiencies in the IPA’s implementation of the Settlement Agreement. On August 6, 1 991, Clinton Fisher wrote to Joseph Sandler enclosing the plaintiffs’ proposed agenda for the September 4 meeting that had been sent to him by Cliff Stromberg. The one proposed alteration in the agenda sequence was that now the complainants wanted Bryant Welch to lead off with a “brief summary” of the background of the litigation and the efforts since. Their six attendees would be Stromberg, Welch and Arnold Schneider of the original four plaintiffs, Jay Kwawer and Nathan Stockhamer of the White Institute, and Herbert Strean, representing NYCPT, the group reapplying after the cancelled site visit. The IPA representatives would likewise be six: Fisher, Sandler, Charles Hanly, Jackie Amati, the IPA Secretary, Arnold Cooper, the Associate Secretary for North America, and Owen Renik, the subchair under Hanly for New Groups in the United States.
