 MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
THROUGH : Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT : Contact with Certain Academic Consultants
1. Since 1966, the DDI Coordinator for Academic Relations
has maintained regular liaison with a notable group of experts on
Chinese and Soviet affairs We have conducted 25X1
regular seminars on subjects of interest to US foreign policy-makers.
In each case a few of our best analysts have exchanged thoughts
with selected groups of scholars. Occasionally, we informally read
scholarly works before they are published, and some of our analysts
are contributors to anthologies written by our seminar friends. In
the coming years, we intend to expand our list of regular contacts
to include additional disciplines, so that we can address
transnational issues.
2. One of the major benefits of this contact is that it
brings Agency people together with scholars who are in touch with
foreign intellectuals and policy-makers. We pay nothing but meals
and an occasional travel expense for most of these people. The
return is substantial.
3. My recollection of the Katzenbach rule is that it applies
in the context of operational contacts between CIA and academicians.
Clearly, our program does not have operational ends. It is purely
an intellectual, substantive exchange between people with similar
research interests.
4. In addition, our contacts tend to regard their relationship
with us as a matter of personal business rather than an extension
of their affiliation with a specific university. In fact, we choose

them for their individual credentials, not because they are a
part of some highly regarded faculty. We do not convene our
seminars on any campus, but rather in a city which is central to
several campuses (e.g., Cambridge, New York, San Francisco).
5. We have not notified the Presidents of any colleges and
universities that we meet with their faculty members. Furthermore,
I doubt that our colleagues notify their Presidents. If this
were to become a requirement of our relationships, I believe the
majority of those on our list of consultants would refuse to meet
with us.
