Dear Professor Kirkpatrick:
I regret that I will. not be able to participate
in the symposium on CIA to which you invited me
during Parents' Weekend at Brown. I had hoped
to be there; however, after I talked to you on the
phone last Wednesday, I learned that I would have
to go on a trip out of the country on the 10th of
October.
With every good wish,
Faithfully,
Vernon A. Walters
Lieutenant General, USA

I talked to Bill Colby yesterday and invited him to
come to Brown on the evening of Saturday, October 11th
to participate in a Symposium on "CIA: Past Transgressions
and Future Controls". The occasion will be Parents' Weekend
and we will expect a large live audience and radio and tele-
vision coverage.
Bill is committed that evening to a reunion in Minn-
eapolis of the O.S.S. Norwegian team, but he suggested that
you might be willing to participate. A check with your
office indicated that you might be free that evening. We
would be honored to have you as our guest.
The format will be for a panel of four or five with
myself as moderator. Each panelist will have five minutes
to state a position, followed by a chance for rebuttal
after all have stated their positions. We then will have
a general exchange and if time permits questions from the
audience. The program will start at eight and conclude
promptly at ten. We used a similar format for a Defense
'Symposium and it was very well received. I enclose a
transcript of that.
I hope you can be with us. I will call you on t
17th on your return.
Very truly yours,
Lyman B. Kirkpatrick, Jr.
Professor
