Col. C. B. Hansen
Assistant to the Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Col. Hansen:
Thank you for making the arrangements for Mr. Kirkpatrick
to speak at the CIC convention.. I am confident from what
you say that he will do a better job than almost any of the
nationally known figures whom we had hoped to get (we have
always gotten them in the past, but things seem to be tough
all over this year).
In your absence I took the liberty of getting in touch
directly with Mr. Kirkpatrick after I learned from your
assistant that arrangements had been made for him to speak
at our convention. As I told him, the speech is scheduled
for a lunch to be held at 1:00 p.m. at the Hotel Hollenden
in Cleveland on Saturday, August L{.. We hope that Mr.
Kirkpatrick will reach the Hotel Hollenden not later than
12:00 noon that day. The hotel is the CIC convention head-
quarters, and when he reaches there he should contact either
Mr. Arthur Stitt, Uhairman of the Board of Governors of the
National CIC Association, or Mr. James Broz, President of
the C)e veland CIC Club, which is hosting the convention.
I will also be out there for the convention (and incidentally
I am bringing a special message to the convention from Presi-
dent Truman).
If Mr. Kirkpatrick wishes to be met at the airport or
station, I should be notified as to his time of arrival
and I will make the necessary arrangements. Otherwise, he
can proceed directly to the hotel and there contact one of
the two men I have named. There will be a room at the
hotel at Mr. Kirkpatrick's disposal.
Please le t me know if Mr. Kirkpatrick needs any further
information on this matter and, in any event, I should appre-
ciate being advised as to when he will arrive in Cleveland
and how long he expects to be there. We would be delighted

to have him as our guest overnight if he wishes, or he can
leave immediately after the luncheon if that is more con-
venient,
Sincerely,
