STAT
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Acting Director, Public Affairs Office
SUBJECT: Invitation to Address the World Affairs Council of Orange
County
FROM:
1. Action Requested: Accept or decline an invitation to address a
dinner meeting of e World Affairs Council of Orange County in Southern
California near Los Angeles at a date convenient to you in 1985 or 1986.
2. Background: M. Roy Knauft, Executive Director of the World Affairs
Council of range ounty, invited you to be the guest speaker at one of their
dinner meetings at a hotel in the Orange County area. You could expect an
audience of approximately 800 prominent Orange County citizens which would
include CEOs from the leading industries of the area. (See brochure opposite
for the Board of Trustees.) The suggested format is 30 minutes of remarks and
30 minutes of questions and answers. Although radio and television coverage
will not be permitted, you could expect the print media to be present. Since
the Council does not have a way to screen attendance with this large an
audience, some foreign nationals could be present.
The World Affairs Council of Orange County is a community educational
organization, non-partisan and non-profit, with a membership of more than
1,800 representative citizens of this area. Its purpose is to give its
members and their guests the opportunity to learn about and discuss the facts
and issues shaping American foreign and defense policy. The Council takes no
political stand, and never advocates any specific policy or action. Previous
speakers have been Senator Barry Goldwater, Senator Alan Cranston, President
of Shell Oil Company John Bookout, Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, and
Mr. Vladimir Sakharov.
With a population of over two million, Orange County is a very
conservative community with 8 out of 10 registered voters voting Republican.
When Republican Senator Barry Goldwater addressed the Council, 800 attended
but only 150 people turned out for Democratic Senator Alan Cranston.

THE WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL OFFICERS
The World Affairs Council of Orange County is a
community educational organization, non-partisan
and non-profit, with a membership of more than
1800 representative citizens of this area. Its pur-
pose is to give its members and their guests the
opportunity to learn about and discuss the facts and
issues shaping American foreign and defense policy.
The Council takes no political stand, and never
advocates any specific policy or action. It seeks to
present all sides of complicated policy questions in
the belief that an informed public opinion is the
democratic basis for sound national policy.
The Council, formerly a division of the long estab-
lished and highly successful Los Angeles World
Affairs Council, is independent of any national or
international organization. Financial support is de-
rived entirely from membership, both individual and
organizational. Dues range from $20 per year for an
individual to $30 per year for a couple. Corporate or
organizational memberships begin at $200. Council
policy is determined by a Board of Trustees of well-
known citizens of the Orange County area.
Membership in the World Affairs Council means
being a part of one of the most prestigious citizen's
organizations in the nation.
By joining and supporting the Council, you make it
possible for the community to receive the leading
figures of our time, and to provide them with a
distinguished forum to discuss the major issues
confronting the world. Indeed, membership is a key
contribution to the cultural vitality of your com-
munity.
The Officers and Trustees of the World Affairs
Council of Orange County take pleasure in extend-
ing to you their cordial invitation to membership.
