MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT : Cuban Missile Crisis Exhibit
The following comments by visitors to the Cuban
Missile Crisis Exhibit, Corridor D, Headquarters,
9 October 1972 - 16 February 1973, are representative
of those deposited in a box provided for the purpose.
The ratio of complimentary remarks to derogatory re-
marks is also representative of the overall comments
on the exhibit. The consensus is that the exhibit
was very well received and that both veteran and new
employees would like to see--and take great pride
in--more displays of this kind. The uncomplimentary
remarks fall into two general categories: (1) those
who prefer "extra-curricular" displays, and (2) those
who felt that the Cuban exhibit was displayed for too
long a time.

Please leave exhibit displayed for family visitation day.
Outstanding:
Excellent exhibit. Why can't the Agency send a display
like this out into the real world? An intelligence
triumph such as this should be shared with the taxpayers.
Exoellent display. Certainly better than amateur artists
and craftsman exhibits. If declassified, this might be
good public relations if given to LIFE, or NEWSWEEK.
Superb!!.
A highly enlightening exhibit.. This should be opened to
all of the public to see one small part of the government
in action.
Excellent. Wish more people could see it.
This is the best exhibit I've seen in the corridor. More
like it, please.
This is without a doubt the best exhibit I have ever seen
shown here. Good show! I should like to see more of this
caliber.
An exceptional display. Would like to see more like it.
Outstanding exhibit.
Thanks, this is very good.
Excellent. If you can do this, why was the 25th anniversary
one so absolutely crummy?
Excellent!!!
Exhibit should ghow Col. Stig Wennerstrom, Swedish spy for
Soviets, who warned Soviets of pending U. S. blockade of
Cuba six days before it went into effect. Also would give
Soviet "total intelligence" picture.

Best display ever in this building.
Excellent! (American University associate)
An excellent display!!!
Very interesting and factual. One of the beSt displays I
:have seen in two years in CIA.
Very good.
This really is great.
Best exhibit yet--very effectively written and displayed.
Thank you!
Excellent Cuban exhibit. But why'don't you put the comment
box at the other end of the display?
This is outstanding.
As one of the present OCI analysts on Cuba, I think this
is a fantastic presentation. I would strongly recommend
that the display be accessible to visitors during the
family tours next month.
Suggest this display be opened to Spouse Day visitors.
Fantastic!
An excellent exhibit.
This exhibit is so good! Believe it should be incorporated
into a brochure for distribution.
By far the most interesting exhibit here ever.
This presentation is, outstanding.. I.suggest.it remain up
for family visitation day So that our families .(especially)
our younger.people) .may.appreciate the functions:of CIA
better.

Excellent, enjoyed it very much.
The finest display ever. Makes us all feel proud. Also,
very informative--great to see the facts instead of sifting
through newspaper garbage.
EXCELLENT! Readable and viewable. Good show!
Very interesting.
This is an excellent exhibit--and well worth the public
relations effect. In fact, why not do the same with other
intelligence events of note, and "advertise" a few of our
successes?
Very interesting and informative.?
Good job. Very informative and well done.
An absolutely magnificent planned display. The photographs,
detailed plans, and equipment is more informative than any
ever seen at the Agency. Congratulations to all concerned.
Very well done exhibit; photo tables especially interesting,
but a fine job was done overall.
Fantastic--let's have more of these.
A splendid exhibit! Why not show it at the Smithsonian?
The public would surely be interested. Or is it not suf-
ficiently declassified for that?
I think this display would be of great interest to the
public (if possible). A display at Tyson's Corners would
really draw a crowd and put CIA in good light for a change.

Most impressive. An excellent exhibit, from one who knows--
a lesson to present statesmen.
It was a very nice EXHIBIT:"
?
Great!
A superb exhibit. . Can reprints of the text and/or the
photos be disseminated in bound form? This is a subject
of great and lasting interest to all intelligence officers.
Excellent--clear and understandable--
Excellent--Best yet!
Excellent Exhibition.
Excellent--place on exhibit outside Agency, Smithsonian
for example.
How about something different?!
Change the exhibit hall display. I'm sick of looking at it.
Let's get a new exhibit. This one has been here long
enough!
This is an interesting and informative display, but isn't
it time for something new--perhaps related, e.g., Bay of
Pigs?
Isn't it about time to change the exhibit?
What will be your sequel to the Cuban crisis? More lights?
Sir: We should have a small antique show and sale or ex-
Let's get back to the art.

Who n6eds this kind of thing?
