It is with great pleasure that I invite you to address the Senior
Course at Marine Corps Schools on 25 August 1964 on the subject, "The
Threat to the Free World".
The Senior Course provides professional education for officers of
the ranks of major and lieutenant colonel to prepare them for command at
the regiment/group level; for staff duty at the division/wing and higher
levels and for duty with departmental, combined, joint and high level
Service organizations. There will be approximately 125 officers in the
class, mainly Marines but also including U. S. Army, Navy and Air Force
officers. These officers all possess TOP SECRET clearances. We plan to
exclude our foreign students who possess only CONFIDENTIAL clearances.
This presentation, "The Threat to the Free World", is part of a subcourse
covering the Geopolitical and Current World Situation and is intended to
be a current appraisal of the forces and circumstances which threaten the
peace of the Free World. A companion lecture which will follow yours will
specifically discuss the philosophy and ideology underlying international
Communism.
The presentation is scheduled from 1030 to 1220 on 25 August. Our
guest lectures usually consist of a one-hour lecture followed by a short
break with at least 30 minutes of the second hour devoted to a question
and answer period. You may use the time though in any way you desire.
Your escort officer during your visit will be Lieutenant Colonel
C. D. Mize. He may be reached at Marine Corps Schools, Code 136, extension
2-6129. Please feel free to request his assistance in the preparation of
training aids, transportation arrangements or in regard to content and
coverage of instructional material.
