1. I have tentatively scheduled William Miller, Staff
Director of the Senate Select Committe on Intelligence, to
have dinner and an informal discussion with the class of
"Perspectives for New Supergrades" on 2 May, 1800 to 2100.
The session would be off-the-record, and I would hope that
Mr. Miller would initiate discussion with observations on
Senate perceptions of foreign intelligence activities in
general, and the Central Intelligence Agency's proper role
in particular. The class will have had copies of Senate
Bill 2525,; and Mr. Miller might wish to comment on the
prospects and implications of its passage in some form.
