The Honorable Eugene V. Rostow, Director
U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency
Room 5930
320 21st Street, N.W.
Washington; D.C. 20451
Thank you for your letter of 24 February regarding possible rotational
assignments for some o our officers to positions within ACDA. As you are
aware, Bob Gates, the new Deputy Director for Intelligence, is interested
in giving prospective division chiefs within his directorate the broadest
possible exposure to the mechanics of policy formulation. Rotational
assignments to ACDA and other policy-making agencies will afford these
officers an opportunity to see the intelligence product from your.
perspective -- an extremely valuable experience for an officer who will
later have responsibility for overseeing the production of finished
intelligence.
Mr. Gates has assured me that every effort will be made to identify
candidates for assignment to ACDA during the next few weeks. I fully
understand your present budgetary limitations and will suggest to Bob that,
in the interests of getting this program off to an early start, we make
these tours non-reimbursable for one year. At the end of a year, we can
assess the value of the program and see whether future assignments could
be made on a reimbursable basis.
Again, I want to thank you for making this valuable opportunity-
available to us. I am confident that these assignments will work to the
advantage of both agencies.
Sincerely,
William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
