9 February 1982
The Honorable
William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C.
This is in response to your kind note from the 25th of
January which only reached me today. The reason for the delay in
receipt was that it was sent to the address of the home we have
purchased but which we are not-occupying until the 11th of this
month.
Thank you very much for your kind words about the paper on
our propaganda posture. It was written for the specific purpose
of providing Ambassador Burns with some background on that parti-
cular problem. I am delighted that the thoughts expressed there-
in correspond to some extent with your own.
I would be vear pleased to have the opportunity to talk with
you and your associates at any time at your convenience after the
17th of February. I am involved in real estate closings on the
11th and the 15th of this month. After that I am free to meet
any date of your choice. I will take the liberty to telephone
later today to enlist his assistance in working out
the appointment with you and the administratige arrangements.
I agree with Ambassador Burns' sentiments that people of my
age should not retire. Without any false modesty, I think many
such retirements represent unnecessary waste of qualifications and
experience, myself included. I assure you, I did not wish to
retire and would be pleased to come back to work. Perhaps we can
talk about this when I see you.
Thomas Polgar
