"The U.S. Intelligence Community Today"
The Second Lecture in the John M. Olin Distinguished
Lecture Series at Brown University
October 15, 1981
by William J. Casey, Director of Central Intelligence
Introduction by Dr. Newell M. Stultz, Professor of Political Science

time for questions and comments from the floor. It seems obvious from the
documents that were put in my hands as I'came in that there are those among:

adherance to free and civil speech, and with your help we will continue that
tradition this evening. With that end in view, Dean John Robinson is prepared
to take the names of persons who would like to address a question or a brief
comment to the speaker when he has finished his remarks. And alternating
between recognizing persons on the floor and names that John will later give
me, we will try as fairly as we can to accommodate those of you who would like
