Lieutenant General Vernon A. Walters, USA
Deputy Director
Gentral Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. G. 20505 ,
Deax General Walters:
One of the key elements in our curriculum is our guest lecture program
comprised of dist9nguished speakers who add their expertise to the various
fields of study conducted here at the Armed Forces Staff College. The 54th
Class of the Armed Forces Staff College will begin in mid-August, and I
sincerely hope that you will join us again and make the presentation an the
National Intelligence- Cornmuni.ty which is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday,
q October, at 1000. The normal operating procedure, you'll recall, is for
the lecture to last 45 minutes followed by a 15-minute break and a 45-
mi:nute question period. Twill be very pleased if, following your presenta-
tion you can join me for lunch with a few students and faculty members.
Your lecture on the National Intelligence Community is a key segment of our
curriculum, since our students need a firm understanding of the role int~:ili-
gence plays in the national security process in order to be prepared to plan
and organize large scale joint and combined operations. While the intelli-
gence functions at various levels of military organization are studied and
taught throughout the course of instruction at AFSC, this particular lecture
serves as the overall introduction to United States intelligence capability.
During this introduction, there are several areas that are germane to the
curriculum and of special interest to the student body. First consideration
is the organization, mission, and capability of the U. S. intelligence
community. If this can be accomplished by placing the present structure
and status in historical perspective to basic national law and to the U, S.
World War II intelligence structure, amore complete understanding will
be achieved. The relationship among the DCI, DIA, and IVSA and other
elements of the intelligence community will comprise a major portion of
this part of the lecture .
Also of interest is the contribution of the intelligence community to the
national policy-making process and its role in overseas operations. A

discussion of collection capabilities and limitations would serve to complete
the picture of U. S. intelligence at the national level. Some brief examples
of specific infor:rnation gained through ovex?seas operations or through visits
to this country by foreign national leaders will add interest and support the
confidence military officers have in ou-r intelligence capability.
I am enclosing a breakdown of the 54th Class composition, a summary of our
couxse of instruction, and other data which will be of interest.
There is one feature of our guest speaker program that Iwish to emphasize.
We have a strict nonattribution policy, and the speaker can be assured that
his remarks will not be discussed outside the College. This permits a
frank discussion of controversial issues and greatly enhances the learning
experience of the student body.
I hope I have cave red the salient points but we will be happy to enlarge on
them if you wish.
Major Ruth A. Griffith, USAF, of my Guest Speaker Office (Phone: ($04)-
444-5422), will complete the arrangements for your visit.
I certainly-look forward to welcoming you back to the College.
Very best personal regards.

I WOULD LIKE TO DESCRIBE FOR YOU TODAY THE COM-
POSITION OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, THE MAJOR
FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTOR OF
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AS THE HEAD OF THAT COMMUNITY,
AND THE ESSENTIAL MEANS BY WHICH THOSE FUNCTIONS
AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE FULFILLED
IT IS NOT STRAINING THE TRUTH TO SAY THAT THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AS WE KNOW IT TODAY RESULTED
FROM OUR EXPERIENCE AT PEARL HARBOR THE SPECTACLE
OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES WORK-
ING EACH IN ITS OWN WAY, WITH NO MECHANISM TO 000R-
DINATE EITHER THEIR EFFORTS OR THE RESULTS, COST OUR

TION, FOLLOWING WORLD WAR II, TO ACHIEVE A COORDI-
NATED NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE EFFORT THE f~JATIONAL
SECURITY ACT OF 1947 WAS AT LEAST PARTLY THE RESULT
OF THIS DETERMINATION
THIS LEGISLATION WAS DESIGNED TO ENSURE ENOUGH
COORDINATION SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO IMPORTANT GAPS

REFLECTS THE FACT THAT FISCAL AND MONETARY INTELLIGENCE

THE PRESIDENT IS INTENSELY INTERESTED IN WORLD ECO-

THE TECHNIQUES OF CONSPIRACY AND SUBVERSION, AND
WHO CONTINUE TO USE THESE RESOURCES TO UNDERMINE
UNITED STATES INTERESTS
THERE ARE INFREQUENT OCCASIONS WHEN IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR THE UNITED STATES TO COUNTER THESE
EFFORTS BY COVERT ACTION OPERATIONS
COVERT ACTION OPERATIONS FALL INTO TWO
CATEGORIES ONE WE CALL Q,OLITICAL Qom. PSYCHO-
LOGICAL OPF,~TIONS, THESE OPERATIONS INVOLVE
THE SUPPORT OR USE OF INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS
OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AS ELEMENTS OF PO-

THE OTHER CATEGORY OF COVERT ACTION OPERATION
IS WHAT WE CALL PARAMILITARY CTION~ THESE OPERA-
TIONS INVOLVE THE USE OF PARAMILITARY FORCE OR THE
FORMULATION OF PLANS FOR ITS USE. OUR WORK WITH THE
TRIBAL IRREGULARS AGAINST THE COMMUNISTS IN LAOS IS
A GOOD INSTANCE OF PARAMILITARY ACTIVITY
COVERT ACTION--WHETHER OF THE POLITICAL OR THE
PARAMILITARY TYPE--FALLS IN THE SHADOWY, TWILIGHT
zONE OF GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS THAT CONGRESS HAD IN
MIND WHEN IT DIRECTED CIA TO PERFORM "SUCH OTHER
SERVICES" AS THE P~ATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MIGHT
DIRECT OUR CRITICS WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT
EVER SINCE CONGRESS GAVE THIS AUTHORITY IN 1947,
CIA HAS DONE AS IT HAS PLEASED, WITHOUT REGARD TO
OFFICIAL POLICIES OR OBJECTIVES OF THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT, AND SOMETIMES IN DIAMETRIC OPPOSITION TO
THOSE POLICIES
THIS IS NOT AT ALL THE CASE THE FACT IS THAT
WHENEVER THE CIA CARRIES OUT A COVERT ACTION PROGRAM
OVERSEAS, IT IS WITH THE eaLoR APPROVAL.OF THE HIGHEST
LEVELS OF THE GOVERNMENT
WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF SUPERVISION OF
AGENCY ACTIVITIES I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT, CONTRARY
