SUBJECT Brookings Institution Briefings, 1976-77
REFERENCE Exchange of Letters between the DCI and
Brookings Institution (ER 76-78'65 and
ER 76-7865-A)
1. The Director of Central Intelligence has approved
a request by the Brookings Institution Advanced Study Program
that CIA. continue to. provide luncheon briefings for the
periodic Conferences of Business Executives on Federal
Government Operations and the annual Schools of Business
Federal Faculty Fellows.Program. The exchange of letters
between the DCI and Brookings on this subject is attached.
2. The Faculty. Fellows Program, initiated in 1972,, is
conducted by Brookings in cooperation with the American
Association of Collegiate. Schools of Business. Approxi-
mately 20'faculty members from business schools throughout
the country are selected for one-year fellowships which
involve their coming to Washington for a series of monthly
seminars. Brookings customarily has counted on the Agency
to conduct the first of these seminars each year, with this
/`f year's seminar scheduled for 15 September.
3. The Brookings Conferences of Business Executives
on Federal Government Operations, inaugurated in 1963, are
held, as you know, 10 times annually. During each confer-
ence, approximately 30 business executives spend a week in
Washington, receiving briefings on a wide range of operations
in the Federal Government.. In contrast to. the Faculty
Fellows Program, our briefing for the business executives is
the final one on their schedule. These dates in the coming
year are:

SUBJECT: Brookings Institution Briefings 1976-77;
4. You are familiar with the format of the Brookings
luncheon briefings--luncheon in the Executive Dining Room at
1200 followed by a briefing from 1300 to 142.0 in the DCI
Conference Room. The briefing is conducted by a "host
briefer" who is supported in'the question-answer period by a
panel composed of representatives of the four Directorates.
The host-briefer and panelists serve also as hosts. at tables
during the. luncheon. It has been our practice to. invite
also the Assistant to the Director and the Chief of the
Directorate of Operations, to
serve as table hosts.. a rookipgs Institution assumes the
cost of the meals of all participants.
5. The responsibilities of host-briefer in the past
year largely fell to Carl Duckett., the former Deputy Director
for Science and Technology, and most recently, Paul Walsh,
Associate Deputy Director for Intelligence. Edward Proctor,
former Deputy. Director for Intelligence, served as host on
one occasion and you yourself, as you will recall, on another.
The panelists., nominated in advance by the Deputy Directors,
have rotated among the senior officers of the Directorates.
6. In view of resent changes of personnel at the
senior management level,.I would appreciate having your
nominations for host-briefer. I would like in the first
instance to be able to call upon you but, in the event you
are unable ?to . do it, to have a list of at .least four others
to. whom I may turn. Since the first Brookings visit,. the
Business School Faculty Fellows, is scheduled for 15 September,
it would be helpful to have your nominees by 1 September.
If you yourself plan to participate in some but not all of
the briefings, I would like to suggest that you begin with
the first Conference of Business'Executives on 24'September.
