>BJECT Conflicting Instructions to Universities On
Use of Agency Recruitment Brochure
4. During the recent Headquarters visit of university
associates, at least two deans of state universities complained good-
aturedly about conflicting instructions they had received regarding
use of the new Agency recruitment brochure. They both said that
:;first one Agency representative gave them a supply of the brochures
and left the impression that these could be distributed widely and
displayed in racks in lounges and placement offices. Later, accord-
ing to the deans, another Agency representative told them the bro-
chure should be kept from view, passed out selectively inside a plain
envelope, and collected from the student after he had read it. The
deans wanted to know why CIA could not make up its mind.
Z. Such conflicting instructions create a bad impression,
as do cloak-and-dagger approaches to recruitment. We are printing
L5, 000 of these brochures and it seems to me that wide and normal
distribution would of itself be our best security precaution. Would
you please see that everyone involved in the recruitment program
understands that the brochures may be given freely to interested
students without any special safeguards or controls?
