Two Harvard professors were among a group of race relations experts who expressed their concern with the Administration's civil rights policies at a recent meeting with President Nixon, the New York Times reported Saturday.
The Times said that Daniel P. Moynthan, counselor to President Nixon, invited James Q. Wilson, chairman of the Government Department, and David Riesman. Henry Ford H Professor of Social Sciences, to the White House to confer with Nixon in conjunction with his forth-coming statement on school desegregation.
Also present at the meeting-which Wilson said took place "two or three weeks ago"-were Charles V. Hamilton, a black sociologist at Columbia, and Aaron Wildavsky, a political scientist at Berkeley.
"We had the kind of conversation you might well have in a Harvard House." Wilson said yesterday. "We talked about everything." He refused to elaborate on the meeting, saying that "a person has a right to a private conversation."
