MEMORANDUM FOR BRENT SCOWCROFT
FROM:
D. ALLAN BROMLEY

SUBJECT:
THE PRESIDENT'S FORTHCOMING BRAZILIAN VISIT
I have heard that some thought has been given to President Bush and his Brazilian
host visiting the Amazon research center where Dr. Tom Lovejoy, Assistant Secretary
of the Smithsonian--and a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science
and Technology (PCAST)--has long been spearheading an international study on the
minimum size that ecosystems must have to maintain species viability and
biodiversity.
I would strongly support such a visit since it emphasizes the President's commitments
both to the environment and to science and would do so within a highly visible
international context.
I chaired the U.S. side of the Reagan-Sarney head-of-state initiative in science and
technology but, unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, including disagreements over
intellectual property rights, this initiative was not moved forward as those of us on
both sides of the negotiations had hoped. Tom Lovejoy was a member of the group
that I took to Brazil for these negotiations.
A visit by the two Presidents to the Amazon research center would perhaps provide a
jump-start for renewed cooperation under this initiative.
Tom Lovejoy would, I know, be happy to provide you or anyone whom you may
designate with any additional information that you might wish.
