SUBJECT : Annual Meeting of the University Associates
and the Agency Recruiters
REFERENCE:
1. 1 thought that the annual meeting f the 25X1
University Associates and the Agency Recruiters, together with the
senior Agency officers working on the 100 Universities Program, was
a successful event, and certainly an improvement over previous meet
ings. However, I feel that certain improvements can be made. E
2. In future years I believe that the first day of the meeting M
of the University Associates should be held here in Headquarters and 0
should be devoted exclusively to a reorientation of the changes that have
taken place in the Agency during the preceding year. I would envisage D
that such a day would include a welcoming speech by either the Director R
e
or Deputy Director, an hour devoted to major developments in the U. S.
intelligence community, an hour devoted to major changes in the Agency, N
and perhaps the final hour of the morning devoted to a comprehensives
analysis of the world situation. The afternoon could be devoted mere
to some of our major efforts, such as W heeelon on scientific and teech-D
nical intelligence, Lundahl on photographic intelligence, and perhaps a T T
concluding period on such subjects as counterinsurgency. M
3. By this vehicle I think we can do a lot better than we did
this year in making the University Associates fool that they are some-
thing more than recruiting tools; that they are indeed "associates" of
the CIA; and that they have been taken into our ct}nfide a in some of our

Important work. I feel fur her that we need periodically to eng&$e in a
little salesmanship with these people in order to keep up their esprit de
corps and continue then as eathuaiastic supporters.
4. After first day I believe that the balance can be worked
out in close association with thc- recruiters and the Office of PersoeneL
S. Would you please see that this is implemented for next year.
