STATINTL
The Senior Seminar in Foreign. Policy is looking
forward to its annual visit to CIA. Each year the Members
have benefited greatly from their sessions with senior
officials of the Agency. Mrs. has informed me
that this year's visit has been programmed for Tuesday,
STATINTL May 4.
STATINTL who along with are the
CIA Members of the Seminar, has already discussed a schedule
for that day with We earnestly hope that you
STATINTL will be able to spend some time with us during the day.
Since you may not be familiar with the Senior Seminar,
let me tell you something about it. The Seminar provides
the senior most training available to officials of the United
States Government agencies with foreign affairs responsi-
bilities. It is conducted by the Foreign Service Institute of
the Department of State and has a membership composed of
senior grade officials and officers with twenty to twenty-five
years of government service. This year's class numbers 26, with
a little less than half being Foreign Service Officers and the
remainder consisting of officials of other agencies, such as
AID, USIA, CIA, Agriculture, the four military services and the
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. The purpose of the
Seminar is to give specially selected officials, prior to tileir
moving into top level senior positions, a ten-month opporLuni_ty
for expanding and deepening their perceptivity of and perspec-
tives on what is happening and why in America and the world.
.This is accomplished through a curriculum composed of speakers
on a wide scope of subjects, travel throughout the United
States, reading, an individual case study, and in-house dis-
cussions.
