On 26 July at 10:00 a.m., you are scheduled to speak in a lecture series
hosted by the Congressional Intern Program on Capitol Hill. You will be
addressing 300 to 400 college students from around the country who are working
this summer in their congressmen and senators' offices. Your proposed remarks
run about 15 minutes, and you will be asked to entertain questions for an
additional 15 to 20 minutes.
The objective of this lecture series is to provide the students with an
understanding of all parts of the federal government. Speakers include
congressmen, senators, executive-branch officials, and representatives from
independent government agencies and corporations. Those scheduled for this
month include Attorney General Meese, Secretary of Defense Carlucci, Senator
Boren and Senator Pell. A check with Senator Boren's office indicated that,
although intelligence was not the focus of his talk, the Senator referred to
his efforts within the SSCI to discourage unauthorized disclosures.
In your proposed remarks, you explain to the students how CIA supports and
implements U..S__foreign policy through intelligence and through covert
action. You then discuss accountability, briefly considering the three levels
of oversight that govern CIA: internal, executive branch, and congressional.
In discussing the Agency's relations with Congress, you mention what you
have been doing to encourage openness and what kind of intelligence support we
provide to the Hill. In remarking on Congress's increasingly activist role in
foreign policy, you suggest that this may be partly due to the intelligence
information they receive and use to challenge-or--improve Administration policy.
The final section of your remarks deals with current intelligence issues
and challenges: world developments commanding our attention and recent,
changes in the nature of intelligence issues and intelligence consumers.
You close by noting the value of a summer in Washington to learn how
public policy is really made and with Sir William Stephenson's observation on
intelligence.

GOOD MORNING. IT IS A PLEASURE TO COME TO THE HILL TODAY TO
SPEAK WITH YOU. ALL OF YOU DO A BRAVE THING IN COMING TO WASHINGTON
DURING THE HOT, HUMID SUMMER. BUT I THINK YOU WILL BENEFIT GREATLY
FROM THIS CHANCE TO SEE HOW OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY WORKS.
THIS LECTURE SERIES IS A GOOD WAY OF BROADENING YOUR ON-THE-JOB
EXPERIENCE. AND I WELCOME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW
CIA SUPPORTS AND IMPLEMENTS U.S. FOREIGN POLICY -- WHICH IS QUITE
DIFFERENT FROM MAKING POLICY. I ALSO WANT TO DISCUSS A TOPIC THAT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND THAT IS ACCOUNTABILITY. THE CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS ACTIONS, NOT ONLY BY
LEGISLATION, BUT THROUGH INTERNAL CONTROLS, EXECUTIVE
ACCOUNTABILITY, AND CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT. THE AGENCY'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH CONGRESS INVOLVES MORE THAN OVERSIGHT, AND I WILL
ALSO SPEND SOME TIME TODAY CONSIDERING THAT RELATIONSHIP.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90G01353RO01900080002-6
THE CIA'.S PRIMARY ROLE IS TO SUPPORT THE MAKING OF U.S. FOREIGN
AND STRATEGIC POLICY. WE DO THAT BY PROVIDING INTELLIGENCE THAT IS
USEFUL, TIMELY, AND OBJECTIVE.
POLICYMAKERS DEPEND HEAVILY.ON USEFUL, ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE IN
A MYRIAD OF SUBJECTS. POLICYMAKERS NEED INTELLIGENCE TO FORMULATE
AND IMPLEMENT OUR FOREIGN POLICY TOWARD A HOST OF NATIONS AND
REGIONS; INTELLIGENCE TO NEGOTIATE AND VERIFY ARMS-CONTROL
AGREEMENTS; AND INTELLIGENCE TO UNDERSTAND THE MILITARY CAPABILITIES
AND INTENTIONS OF OUR ADVERSARIES. WE FURNISHED VOLUMINOUS SUPPORT
TO THE U.S. PARTICIPANTS IN THE JUNE.SUMMIT MEETING IN MOSCOW. THIS
SUPPORT RANGED FROM BRIEFINGS FOR THE PRESIDENT TO NUMEROUS PAPERS
ON ISSUES DISCUSSED WITH THE SOVIETS.
INTELLIGENCE MUST ALSO BE TIMELY. BALLISTIC MISSILES CAN TRAVEL
ACROSS CONTINENTS IN MINUTES, GOVERNMENTS CAN BE OVERTHROWN IN A
MATTER OF HOURS, AND THE RADIATION FROM A NUCLEAR ACCIDENT CAN
SPREAD MANY MILES IN JUST A FEW DAYS. INTELLIGENCE CAN ONLY BE

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90G01353RO01900080002-6
USEFUL IF IT IS RECEIVED IN TIME TO TAKE ACTION ON IT. THE CIA'S
COUNTERTERRORISM CENTER IS MANNED AROUND THE CLOCK TO MONITOR THE
ACTIVITIES OF TERRORIST GROUPS WORLDWIDE AND ISSUE TIMELY WARNINGS
TO COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AND ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHEN U.S. INTERESTS
MAY BE AT RISK.
POLICYMAKERS RELY ON OUR INTELLIGENCE NOT ONLY TO BE USEFUL AND
TIMELY, BUT TO REFLECT AN OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION. THE
DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS WHO
PERFORM OUR ANALYSIS MUST BE SEEN, NOT AS "COOKING THE BOOKS" TO
SHAPE OR INFLUENCE POLICY, BUT AS PROVIDING AN HONEST AND OBJECTIVE
VIEW. POLICYMAKERS MUST BE CONFIDENT THEY HAVE THE BEST AVAILABLE
INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS.
PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR ANALYSIS IS ONE OF MY MOST VITAL
TASKS. OUR CHIEF GOAL IN CIA AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IS TO
"TELL IT LIKE IT IS," WITHOUT BIAS OR RESTRAINT. INTEGRITY ALSO
MEANS STATING WHAT WE DON'T KNOW -- WHERE THE LIMITS OF OUR
KNOWLEDGE ARE AND WHAT UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN.

POLICYMAKERS MAY NOT ALWAYS LIKE THE MESSAGE WE GIVE THEM,
ESPECIALLY IF IT CALLS INTO QUESTION THEIR POINT OF VIEW. MY
POSITION IS THAT THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CONDUCTS ANALYSIS,
PARTICULARLY OUR NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATES, FOR THE USE OF
POLICYMAKERS. THESE ESTIMATES CAN BE USED IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
THEY CAN BE IGNORED, TORN UP, OR THROWN AWAY. BUT THEY CANNOT BE
CHANGED.
ON SUBJECTS SUCH AS VIETNAM, ANGOLA, LEBANON, IRAN, AND PANAMA,
CIA ANALYSTS HAVE DRAWN CONCLUSIONS THAT HAVE CHALLENGED SOME OF THE
VIEWS HELD BY POLICYMAKERS. SOMETIMES OUR ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN WRONG,
BUT MORE OFTEN THEY HAVE BEEN RIGHT. AND ON PROBLEMS BOTH LARGE AND
SMALL, THE AGENCY HAS NOT FLINCHED FROM PRESENTING AN HONEST VIEW.
IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING POLICYMAKERS WITH INTELLIGENCE, THE CIA
PLAYS A ROLE IN IMPLEMENTING POLICY. THIS IS DONE THROUGH ITS
COVERT ACTION PROGRAMS. ALTHOUGH COVERT ACTION IS NOT DEFINED BY
LAW, THE TERM HAS COME TO BE UNDERSTOOD TO REFER TO ACTIVITIES
- Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90GO1353R001900080002-6
 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90G01353RO01900080002-6
CONDUCTED IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL POLICY IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE ROLE
OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS NOT APPARENT.
THE CAPABILITY FOR COVERT ACTION IS.ESSENTIAL TO OUR FOREIGN
POLICY. IT ALLOWS THE UNITED STATES TO PROVIDE NEEDED SUPPORT TO
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND LIBERATION MOVEMENTS, SOME OF WHOM MAY NOT
WISH TO HAVE SUCH U.S. SUPPORT PUBLICLY KNOWN. FASHIONED
EFFECTIVELY. COVERT ACTION PROGRAMS COMPLEMENT OTHER INSTRUMENTS OF
U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, INCLUDING DIPLOMACY, ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES, AND
MILITARY ACTIONS. IN MY LIFETIME, EVERY PRESIDENT FROM FRANKLIN
ROOSEVELT FORWARD HAS ENDORSED AND USED COVERT ACTION TO SUPPORT THE
FOREIGN POLICY OF THIS COUNTRY.
THE IRAN-CONTRA SITUATION HAS RAISED SOME CONCERN AS TO THE
PROPER, LEGAL ROLE OF COVERT ACTION IN ADVANCING U.S. FOREIGN
POLICY. THE DECISION TO USE COVERT ACTION IS A POLICY DECISION MADE
BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL -- THE PRESIDENT, THE VICE
PRESIDENT, AND THE SECRETARIES OF STATE AND DEFENSE. AND. BY LAW,
IT IS.CIA'S REPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT SUCH DECISIONS.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90G01353RO01900080002-6
UNDER THE LAW, THE PRESIDENT MUST SIGN A DOCUMENT KNOWN AS A
"FINDING" TO AUTHORIZE COVERT ACTION. FINDINGS ARE SHARED WITH THE
TWO INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES, AND THE FUNDS FOR THEIR
IMPLEMENTATION ARE APPROVED BY CONGRESS. UNDER A RECENTLY
ESTABLISHED PROCEDURE, THE PRESIDENT AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY
COUNCIL REVIEW, REVISE, AND REVALIDATE ALL OF THE CIA'S COVERT
ACTION PROGRAMS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THEY ASK THREE BASIC QUESTIONS
IN CONSIDERING WHETHER TO BEGIN OR CONTINUE A COVERT ACTION: IS IT
LEGAL, WILL IT EFFECTIVELY PROMOTE OUR FOREIGN POLICY, AND DOES -IT
MAKE SENSE?
THE CIA IS GOVERNED BY OVERSIGHT AS WELL AS BY LAW. IN FACT,
OVERSIGHT OCCURS AT THREE LEVELS. THE FIRST IS AN INTERNAL ONE,
DIRECTED BY THE AGENCY'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL AND OFFICE OF THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL. STRENGTHENING THE MANDATE-AND RESOURCES OF THESE
OFFICES WAS ONE OF. MY FIRST PRIORITIES UPON BEING APPOINTED DIRECTOR
ONE YEAR AGO.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90G01353R001900080002-6
THE CIA IS ALSO SUBJECT TO OVERSIGHT WITHIN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
BY AN ENTITY KNOWN AS THE INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT BOARD. THIS BOARD
IS A PERMANENT, NONPARTISAN BODY CONSISTING OF THREE MEMBERS FROM
OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT WHO ARE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT.
FINALLY, THE CIA IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT
THROUGH THE HOUSE PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE AND THE
SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE.
LET ME FOCUS FOR A MOMENT ON THE AGENCY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH
CONGRESS. SINCE I KNOW THAT IS OF INTEREST TO YOU. AND IT-IS-,OF
SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO ME. THE OVERSIGHT REPONSIBILITIES
EXERCISED BY CONGRESS ARE BOTH NECESSARY AND BENEFICIAL.
DEPENDABLE SYSTEM OF OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY BUILDS. RATHER
THAN ERODES, TRUST BETWEEN THOSE WHO HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE
REPONSIBILITY AND THOSE WHO ARE THE-- ELECTED'REPRESENTATIVES-OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.

AS PART OF MY EFFORT TO ESTABLISH AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
CONGRESS, I MEET WITH THE LEADERS OF THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES AT
LEAST MONTHLY. AND I HAVE ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES GOVERNING THE
AGENCY'S DEALINGS WITH CONGRESS, SO THAT ALL OF OUR OFFICERS ARE
AWARE THAT, WHILE THEY NEED TO PROTECT SOURCES AND METHODS, THEY
MUST ALSO BE ABSOLUTELY CANDID WITH CONGRESS.
I THINK WE'VE GOT EXTRAORDINARILY GOOD OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES
RIGHT NOW, AND THEY'RE BEING MANAGED WITH GREAT CONCERN TO KEEP OUR
SECRETS SECRET. PROTECTING SECRETS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT --
I'VE HEARD IT SAID THAT A SECRET IS THE ONLY THING THAT CIRCULATES
MORE RAPIDLY THAN MONEY. BUT I THINK THAT THE COMMITTEES ARE DOING
A FINE JOB OF PROTECTING INFORMATION. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY DO NOT
HESITATE TO RECOMMEND NEW OR DIFFERENT COURSES OF ACTION.
I UNDERSTAND THAT SENATOR BOREN SPOKETO YOU EARLIER THIS
MONTH. I DON'T THINK HE WOULD DISAGREE WHEN I SAY THAT THE CIA'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH CONGRESS IS BENEFICIAL TO BOTH PARTIES. I WOULD

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/07/16: CIA-RDP90G01353RO01900080002-6
NOTE, ALSO, THAT THE CENTRAL ROLE CONGRESS PLAYS WITH RESPECT TO THE
CIA AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IS UNIQUE, BOTH IN OUR HISTORY AS
A NATION, AND IN THE WORLD AT LARGE.
THE CIA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH CONGRESS GOES WELL BEYOND THE
OVERSIGHT FUNCTION. INTELLIGENCE ANALYSES ON SIGNIFICANT WORLD
DEVELOPMENTS ARE ESSENTIAL TO CONGRESSIONAL DELIBERATIONS ON FOREIGN
POLICY. AND CIA PROVIDES NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATES, RESEARCH
PAPERS, AND BRIEFINGS, NOT ONLY TO THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES, BUT
ALSO TO THE APPROPRIATIONS,?FOREIGN RELATIONS. AND ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEES.
EIGHT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES RECEIVE THE CIA'S DAILY NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE REPORT. IN 1987, THE CIA SENT MORE THAN 5,000
INTELLIGENCE REPORTS TO CONGRESS. WE ALSO GAVE OVER 1,000 BRIEFINGS
TO CONGRESSIONAL COMMIT-TEE-S r INDIVIDLJAL -MEMBERS OF CONGRE-SS.: AND
CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS. TOPICS INCLUDED ARMS CONTROL, SOVIET
WEAPONS PROGRAMS, THE PERSIAN GULF SITUATION, AND CONFLICT IN
CENTRAL AMERICA.

IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING BRIEFINGS AND PAPERS, WE TESTIFY BEFORE
CONGRESS ON LEGISLATION RELATING TO INTELLIGENCE AND IN HEARINGS ON
WORLD EVENTS WHERE OUR EXPERTISE CAN BE USEFUL. I SPEND A FAIR
AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE HILL MYSELF. IN FACT, I PROBABLY DEVOTE ABOUT
15 PERCENT OF MY TIME TO DEALING WITH CONGRESS. AND MY SENIOR
MANAGERS COLLECTIVELY DEVOTE ABOUT ONE-QUARTER OF THEIR TIME TO
CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT.
TWO ISSUES HAVE BROUGHT ME AND MANY OTHER CIA OFFICERS TO THE
HILL IN RECENT MONTHS. BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS HAVE BEEN
CONSIDERING NEW INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT LEGISLATION, AND I HAVE
TESTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES -- MOST RECENTLY BEFORE THE HOUSE FOREIGN
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IN JUNE -- ON THE NEED FOR SUCH LEGISLATION AND
ITS PRACTICAL IMPACT ON THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
THE CIA ALSO PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT-?SUPPORT?-TO CONGRESSIONAL
HEARINGS ON THE RATIFICATION OF THE INF TREATY. MY DEPUTY, BOB
GATES, AND I PROVIDED FORMAL TESTIMONY ON THE INTELLIGENCE

COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO MONITOR THE TREATY. SENIOR SOVIET EXPERTS IN
THE AGENCY TESTIFIED TO THE-IMPACT OF THE TREATY ON SOVIET MILITARY
FORCES AND STRATEGY. THEY ALSO PRESENTED OUR JUDGMENTS ON SOVIET
INCENTIVES AND CAPABILITIES TO CHEAT ON TREATY PROVISIONS. THIS
INTELLIGENCE INPUT WAS ESSENTIAL TO CONGRESS'S ABILITY TO CONDUCT A
COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE INF TREATY.
DURING THE LAST TWENTY YEARS OR SO, CONGRESS HAS TAKEN AN
INCREASINGLY ACTIVE ROLE IN FORMULATING U.S. FOREIGN POLICY.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE PROBABLY A NUMER OF REASONS FOR THIS, I THINK
THAT THE INFORMATION CONGRESS RECEIVES FROM THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY IS ONE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION HAS
ALLOWED CONGRESS TO CHALLENGE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH'S FOREIGN POLICY
PROPOSALS AND INITIATE THEIR OWN.
THIS WILL NO DOUBT CONTINUE, SO I',D.LIKF_TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
LOOK AT THE SORT OF INFORMATION WE WILL BE PROVIDING TO CONGRESS AND
POLICYMAKERS IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH DURING THE COMING MONTHS.

THE SOVIET UNION CONTINUES TO RECEIVE A LARGE PART OF OUR
ATTENTION. GORBACHEV'S PERESTROIKA INVOLVES POLITICAL,--ECONOMIC.
AND EVEN MILITARY CHANGE WITH GREAT IMPLICATIONS FOR HIS OWN COUNTRY
AND, INDEED. FOR THE WORLD.
THE HIGH PRIORITY OF ARMS .CONTROL IN BOTH MOSCOW AND WASHINGTON
PRESENTS A HOST OF REQUIREMENTS FOR INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT. THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WILL PLAY A LARGE ROLE IN MONITORING SOVIET
COMPLIANCE WITH THE INF TREATY. AND WE-WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE
STRATEGIC ARMS REDUCTION TALKS, TO HELP ENSURE THAT U.S.-PROPOSALS.
ARE BASED ON A SOUND UNDERSTANDING OF, BOTH SOVIET FORCE STRUCTURE
AND U.S. MONITORING CAPABILITIES.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER, THE CIA MUST ANALYZE DEVELOPMENTS BEYOND
THE SOVIET UNION. DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, WE WILL CLOSELY
WATCH SOVIET TROOP WITHDRAWALS FROM AFGHANISTAN AND THEIR IMPACT ON
THAT COUNTRY. THE EXPLOSIVE, UNPREDICTABLE SITUATION IN THE PERSIAN
GULF REQUIRES.OUR ONGOING ATTENTION, AND WE CAN EXPECT EVEN MORE
TURMOIL AND POLITICAL INFIGHTING WHEN KHOMEINI DIES.

OTHER ISSUES. REQUIRING OUR SCRUTINY INCLUDE THE FUTURE OF
NORIEGA AND PANAMA; THE PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR AND
BALLISTIC-MISSILE TECHNOLOGY; AND THE IMPACT OF THE AIDS EPIDEMIC IN
THOSE COUNTRIES HARDEST HIT BY THE DISEASE.
THIS INCREASED DIVERSITY OF INTELLIGENCE ISSUES HAS BEEN
ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER AND DIVERSITY OF
INTELLIGENCE USERS. WE PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE TO NEARLY EVERY
DEPARTMENT AND AGENCY OF THE GOVERNMENT, AS WELL AS TO THE CONGRESS.
WHILE POLICYMAKERS CONCENTRATE ON TODAY'S CRISES AND CONCERNS,
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY MUST IDENTIFY ISSUES, PROBLEMS, AND
OPPORTUNITIES THIS COUNTRY WILL ENCOUNTER IN TOMORROW'S WORLD, FIVE
OR TEN YEARS FROM NOW, AND EVEN WELL INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.
THIS SUMMER IN WASHINGTON WILL, NO. DOUBT, SHOW YOU.HOW PUBLIC
POLICY IS REALLY MADE AND CARRIED OUT; HOW DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF

CONFRONT US NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. THIS KNOWLEDGE SHOULD
SERVE YOU WELL, INCREASING YOUR INTEREST IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS
AND PERHAPS EVEN PROMPTING YOU TO CONSIDER A CAREER IN PUBLIC
SERVICE. I HAVE FOUND THAT MY EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN
A BURDEN, BUT A VERY REAL JOY AND PRIVILEGE.
I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH ONE FINAL THOUGHT, FROM AN OLD
FRIEND OF MINE, SIR WILLIAM STEPHENSON. SIR WILLIAM PLAYED A
LEADING ROLE IN U.S.-BRITISH INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES DURING WORLD
WAR II. IN THE FOREWORD TO A BOOK ABOUT HIM, A MAN CALLED INTREPID.
SIR WILLIAM MADE THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATION: "PERHAPS A DAY WILL DAWN
WHEN TYRANTS CAN NO LONGER THREATEN THE LIBERTY OF ANY PEOPLE, WHEN
THE FUNCTION OF ALL NATIONS, HOWEVER VARIED THEIR IDEOLOGIES. WILL
BE TO ENHANCE LIFE, NOT TO CONTROL IT. IF SUCH A CONDITION IS
POSSIBLE, IT IS IN 'A FUTURE TOO FAR DISTANT TO FORESEE....UNTIL THAT
SAFER, BETTER DAY, THE DEMOCRACIES WILL AVOID DISASTER, AND POSSIBLY
TOTAL DESTRUCTION. ONLY BY MAINTAINING THEIR DEFENSES."

"AMONG THE INCREASINGLY INTRICATE ARSENALS ACROSS THE WORLD,
INTELLIGENCE IS AN ESSENTIAL WEAPON, PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT.
BUT IT IS, BEING SECRET, THE MOST DANGEROUS. SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT
ITS ABUSE MUST BE DEVISED, REVISED, AND RIGIDLY APPLIED. BUT, AS IN
ALL ENTERPRISE, THE CHARACTER AND WISDOM OF THOSE TO WHOM IT IS
ENTRUSTED WILL BE DECISIVE. IN THE INTEGRITY OF THAT GUARDIANSHIP
LIES THE HOPE OF FREE PEOPLE TO ENDURE AND PREVAIL."

RE: Speaking Invitation
Congressional Intern Program
Washington, D.C.
12 June - 19 August 1988
On behalf of the Congressional Intern Program, Senator Wendell H. Ford,
Cnairman of the'Senate Committee on Rules 'and Administration, and Congressman
Frank Annunzio,. Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, have
invited you to be a guest speaker.in an Intern Lecture Series on Capitol Hill,
at a date convenient to you between 12 June and 19 August. The format would
be 1-5-20 minutes of remarks, and 15-20 minutes of questions and answers. The
audience would consist of 300 to 40U students from around the country who are
Congressional Interns. The media does not cover these programs.
The objective of the Lecture Series is to provide the students with a view
of all facets of the Federal Government. Last year's program included
speakers from the Executive Branch, such as former Secretary of Defense
Weinberger, speakers from independent government agencies and corporations,
and many Senators and Congressmen. This year, Attorney General Meese and
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman John S. R. Shad are among those
scheduled to participate. In 1987, over 4,000 college students served as
Interns.
Speaking to college students from all parts of the U.S. would give the
Agency good exposure. I recommend that you accept the invitation, and speak
sometime in mid July. If you agree, I have attached letters of acceptance for
your signature..

RE: Speaking Invitation -
Congressional Intern Program,
Washington, D.C.
12 June - 19 August 1988.
On behalf of the Congressional Intern Program, Senator Wendell H. Ford,
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and Congressman
Frank Annunzio, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, have
invited you to be a guest speaker in an.Intern Lecture Series on Capitol Hill,
at a date convenient to you between 12 June.and 19 August. The format would
be 15-2U minutes of remarks, and 15-20 minutes of questions and answers. The
audience would consist of 300 to 400 students-from around the country who are
Congressional Interns. The media does not cover these programs.
The objective of the Lecture Series. is to provide the students with a view
of all facets of the Federal Government. Last year's program included
speakers from the Executive Branch, such as former Secretary of Defense
Weinberger, speakers from independent government agencies and corporations,
and many Senators and Congressmen. This year, Attorney General Meese and
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman John S. R. Shad are among those
scheduled to participate. In 1987, over 4,000 college students served as
Interns.
Speaking to college students from all parts of the U.S. would give the
.Agency good exposure. I recommend that you accept the invitation, and speak
-sometime in mid July. If you agree, I have attached letters of acceptance for
STAT
your signature.
