29TH ANNUAL RAYMOND L. LEE PUBLIC AFFAIRS FORUM
11 APRIL 1988
THE TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
BY ROBERT M. GATES
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
OVER THE YEARS, PUBLIC VIEWS OF AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE AND
ITS ROLE IN FOREIGN POLICY HAVE BEEN SHAPED PRIMARILY BY
MOVIES, TELEVISION, NOVELS, NEWSPAPERS, BOOKS BY JOURNALISTS,
HEADLINES GROWING OUT OF CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRIES, EXPOSES BY
FORMER INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS, AND ESSAYS BY "EXPERTS" WHO
EITHER HAVE NEVER SERVED IN AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE OR HAVE
SERVED AND STILL NOT UNDERSTOOD ITS ROLE. THE CIA, THE ONLY
STATUTORY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION, IS SAID TO BE AN
"INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT" YET IT IS THE MOST VISIBLE, MOST
EXTERNALLY SCRUTINIZED, AND MOST PUBLICIZED INTELLIGENCE
SERVICE IN THE WORLD. WHILE THE CIA IS SOMETIMES ABLE TO
REFUTE PUBLICLY ALLEGATIONS AND CRITICISM, USUALLY IT MUST
REMAIN SILENT. THE RESULT IS A CONTRADICTORY MELANGE OF IMAGES
OF THE CIA AND VERY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OR UNDERSTANDING OF ITS
FUNCTIONS OR REAL ROLE IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO
DISCUSS THESE TONIGHT.
LET ME DESCRIBE BRIEFLY THE THREE BASIC FUNCTIONS OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE -- OF CIA -- AS SET FORTH IN THE 1947
NATIONAL SECURITY ACT AND EVOLVED IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

COLLECTION
THE FIRST IS THE COLLECTION OF INTELLIGENCE WORLDWIDE. US
INTELLIGENCE GATHERS ITS INFORMATION FROM A VARIETY OF
SOURCES. THE TYPES OF SOURCES WE DRAW UPON ARE WELL KNOWN.
OUR INFORMATION COMES FROM SATELLITES, FROM NEWSPAPERS,
PERIODICALS, RADIO AND TELEVISION WORLDWIDE, FROM DIPLOMATS AND
MILITARY ATTACHES OVERSEAS, AND, OF COURSE, FROM SECRET
AGENTS. ALL OF THIS INFORMATION, BILLIONS OF BITS AND PIECES
OF DATA ON GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTS AND ISSUES OF INTEREST TO THE
UNITED STATES, FLOWS TO WASHINGTON WHERE IT GOES TO THE
ANALYSTS. MUCH OF OUR MOST VALUABLE INFORMATION COMES FROM THE
VOLUNTARY, OVERT COOPERATION OF BUSINESSMEN, ACADEMICIANS AND
OTHERS WHO ARE WILLING TO SHARE WITH US INFORMATION THEY
ACQUIRE WHEN TRAVELING OVERSEAS. OUR DEPENDENCE ON DIFFERENT
SOURCES OF INFORMATION VARIES FROM ISSUE TO ISSUE. ON SOME,
SUCH AS SOVIET WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT, WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON
SATELLITES AND SPIES. ON OTHERS, SUCH AS INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC AFFAIRS, WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON OPEN LITERATURE AND
EMBASSY REPORTING. BUT, IN ALL CASES, WHAT CLEARLY
DISTINGUISHES INFORMATION AS SUITABLE FOR INTELLIGENCE
EXPLOITATION IS ITS RELEVANCE TO US NATIONAL SECURITY POLICIES
AND INTERESTS.

ANALYSIS
THE SECOND FUNCTION -- THE CORRELATION, EVALUATION AND
DISSEMINATION OF INTELLIGENCE, OR ANALYSIS, IS THE ONLY
FUNCTION OF CIA SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED BY THE 1947 NATIONAL
SECURITY ACT. INDEED, CIA'S CREATION DERIVED FROM
DETERMINATION TO PREVENT ANOTHER PEARL HARBOR: TO ENSURE THAT
ALL AVAILABLE INTELLIGENCE WOULD BE COLLATED AND EVALUATED IN
ONE PLACE AND PROVIDED TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.
AS INFORMATION FLOWS TO WASHINGTON, ANALYSTS WITH EXPERTISE
IN SCORES OF DISCIPLINES COLLATE AND TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT.
THE CIA THEN REPORTS ITS FINDINGS TO POLICY OFFICIALS AND TO
THE MILITARY SERVICES. IT IS THE COMPREHENSIVENESS OF THE
CIA'S COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS, THE AGENCY'S FOCUS ON THE
NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE
ADVANTAGE OF ITS HAVING KNOWLEDGE BEFORE ANYONE ELSE THAT MAKE
THE CIA'S INTELLIGENCE VALUABLE TO THE POLICYMAKER.
FURTHERMORE, THE CIA OFTEN MAKES A CONTRIBUTION SIMPLY BY
ORGANIZING FACTS IN A CLEAR AND CONCISE WAY, BY PROVIDING THE
SAME FACTS TO A RANGE OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, BY
IDENTIFYING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS -- AND BY TRYING TO ANSWER
THEM.
THIS INFORMATION FINDS ITS WAY TO THE POLICYMAKER IN
SEVERAL WAYS. FIRST, INTELLIGENCE ON DAY?TO?DAY EVENTS AND
3

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
DEVELOPMENTS AROUND THE WORLD IS PROVIDED TO SENIOR OFFICIALS
DAILY OR EVEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. EARLY EACH MORNING A
WRITTEN BRIEFING IS DELIVERED TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE
PRESIDENT. AS DIRECTED BY PRESIDENT REAGAN IN 1981, OFFICERS
OF THE CIA'S ANALYSIS DIRECTORATE ALSO FAN OUT ACROSS
WASHINGTON EACH MORNING TO SHARE COPIES OF THE PRESIDENT'S
BRIEFING WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT, THE SECRETARIES OF STATE AND
DEFENSE, THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF. DURING CRISES, SITUATION REPORTS ARE
PROVIDED EVERY FEW HOURS.
SECOND, THE CIA CONTRIBUTES ANALYSIS TO POLICY PAPERS, BY
DESCRIBING BOTH CURRENT EVENTS AND POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES OR
PROBLEMS FOR THE UNITED STATES. NEARLY ALL NSC AND SUB?CABINET
MEETINGS BEGIN WITH A BRIEFING BY THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE OR A SUBORDINATE EXPERT.
THIRD, NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATES CAN PLAY AN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE MAKING OF POLICY. AN ESTIMATE PROVIDES A
FACTUAL REVIEW OF A SUBJECT AND FORECASTS FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
IN RECENT YEARS A HIGH PREMIUM HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE
PRESENTATION OF DIVERSE POINTS OF VIEW AND ALTERNATIVE
SCENARIOS -- THE DIFFERENT WAYS EVENTS MAY PLAY OUT, AND WITH
WHAT LIKELY CONSEQUENCES. BUT, ALWAYS, A "BEST ESTIMATE" IS
OFFERED; THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY OWES THE POLICYMAKER THAT.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
THESE ESTIMATES -- MORE THAN A HUNDRED WERE DONE LAST YEAR
-- ARE PREPARED BY ANALYSTS FROM DIFFERENT INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE SENIOR SUBSTANTIVE EXPERT
IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, KNOWN AS THE NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE OFFICER. ESTIMATES ARE THE MOST FORMAL EXPRESSION
OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY'S VIEWS. ALL OF THE INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT BOTH CONTRIBUTE TO AND COORDINATE
WHAT IS WRITTEN IN NATIONAL ESTIMATES. THE BEST KNOWN OF THESE
ARE THE ANNUAL ESTIMATES ON SOVIET STRATEGIC MILITARY FORCES.
FOURTH, POLICYMAKERS RECEIVE SPECIALIZED ASSESSMENTS BY
INDIVIDUAL AGENCIES. THE CIA'S ASSESSMENTS AND RESEARCH PAPERS
ARE THE PRODUCTS OF THE LARGEST INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS
ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. THE RANGE OF ISSUES IS BREATHTAKING
-- FROM STRATEGIC WEAPONS TO FOOD SUPPLIES, EPIDEMIOLOGY TO
SPACE, WATER AND CLIMATE TO THIRD WORLD POLITICAL INSTABILITY,
MINERAL AND ENERGY RESOURCES TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCE, SOVIET
LASER WEAPONS TO REMOTE TRIBAL DEMOGRAPHICS, CHEMICAL AND
BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS PROLIFERATION TO COMMODITY SUPPLIES, AND
MANY, MANY MORE.
COVERT ACTION
THE THIRD FUNCTION OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE -- OF CIA -- IS
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COVERT ACTION. COVERT ACTION IS AN
INSTRUMENT FOR PROTECTING OR ADVANCING AMERICAN NATIONAL
5
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
SECURITY INTERESTS IN THOSE CASES WHEN IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
AMERICAN INVOLVEMENT BE HIDDEN OR AT LEAST NOT OFFICIALLY
ACKNOWLEDGED. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND
ABOUT COVERT ACTION IS THAT IT DOES NOT REPRESENT SOME SORT OF
INDEPENDENT CIA FOREIGN POLICY. THE DECISION TO USE COVERT
ACTION IS A POLICY DECISION MADE BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY
COUNCIL -- THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT AND THE SECRETARIES OF
STATE AND DEFENSE. AND IT IS CIA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT
SUCH DECISIONS.
UNDER THE LAW, THE PRESIDENT MUST SIGN A DOCUMENT KNOWN AS
A "FINDING" TO AUTHORIZE SUCH COVERT ACTIONS. THESE FINDINGS
ARE SHARED WITH THE -TWO INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES AND
THE FUNDS FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION ARE APPROVED BY CONGRESS.
THERE HAVE BEEN THREE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS PROCESS OVER THE PAST
DECADE OR SO, ALL RELATING TO IRAN.
YOU CAN READ DOZENS OF BOOKS ABOUT PAST COVERT ACTIONS --
MOST OF THEM CRITICAL, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FEW
OBSERVATIONS. ONLY ABOUT 3% OF CIA'S PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN
COVERT ACTION. ABOUT 5% OF THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE BUDGET IS
DEVOTED TO COVERT ACTION. WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE ONLY
COVERT ACTIONS YOU TEND TO HEAR ABOUT ARE THOSE THAT FAILED.
IN A NUMBER OF INSTANCES, IN MY JUDGMENT, THIS HAS BEEN BECAUSE
THE COVERT ACTION WAS DECIDED UPON BY POLICYMAKERS AS A LAST
DITCH EFFORT TO INFLUENCE EVENTS WHERE ALL OVERT MEANS
PREVIOUSLY HAD FAILED. AS A COROLLARY, COVERT ACTIONS TEND TO

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
FAIL IF THEY ARE DONE IN ISOLATION FROM THE USE OF OTHER, OVERT
INSTRUMENTS OF POLICY, OR IF THE COVERT ACTION IS UNDERTAKEN AS
A SUBSTITUTE FOR OR IN THE ABSENCE OF A CLEAR POLICY. CONTRARY
TO POPULAR IMPRESSIONS, THE CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN BROADLY SUPPORTIVE OF COVERT ACTION. WITH
A VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS -- MOST OBVIOUSLY IN CENTRAL AMERICA --
THERE HAS BEEN BROAD BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR OR AT LEAST
TOLERANCE OF MOST OF THE COVERT ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN BY
PRESIDENTS CARTER AND REAGAN -- MOST OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BECOME
KNOWN PUBLICLY. IN MY VIEW, CIA SHOULD NOT BE AN ADVOCATE OF
COVERT ACTION BUT RATHER AN IMPLEMENTING INSTRUMENT. THE
DECISION TO USE COVERT ACTION IS A POLICY DECISION, IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF SENIOR MANAGERS IN CIA, AS WELL AS THE
EXECUTIVE AND CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT PROCEDURES, TO ENSURE
THAT SUCH ACTIONS DO NOT TAKE ON A LIFE OF THEIR OWN AND
PROCEED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT REGARD TO CHANGING
CIRCUMSTANCES OR POLICIES, RELEVANCE, OR EFFECTIVENESS,
FINALLY, IT IS CIA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SCRUPULOUS IN KEEPING
OUR OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES PROPERLY INFORMED ABOUT COVERT
ACTION. IF THERE IS TO BE CONTROVERSY, IT SHOULD BE ABOUT THE
POLICY, NOT HOW WE HAVE CARRIED OUT OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE
COMMITTEES.
CONGRESS
THERE IS A FOURTH FUNCTION OF INTELLIGENCE THAT IS
RELATIVELY NEW AND THAT IS ITS RELATIONSHIP TO AND SUPPORT OF

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
THE CONGRESS. SINCE THE MID-1970S, VIRTUALLY ALL CIA
ASSESSMENTS AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE OTHER PRINCIPAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, HAVE GONE TO THE TWO CONGRESSIONAL
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES. MOST GO ALSO TO THE APPROPRIATIONS,
FOREIGN RELATIONS AND ARM SERVICES COMMITTEES. EIGHT
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES GET THE CIA'S DAILY NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE REPORT. IN 1986 THE CIA ALONE SENT SOME 5,000
INTELLIGENCE REPORTS TO CONGRESS AND GAVE MANY HUNDREDS OF
BRIEFINGS. OFTEN THANKS TO THEIR STAFFS, MANY SENATORS AND
REPRESENTATIVES ARE AS WELL, IF NOT BETTER, INFORMED ABOUT
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION AND ASSESSMENTS ON A GIVEN SUBJECT
THAN CONCERNED POLICYMAKERS. MOREOVER, THIS INTELLIGENCE IS
OFTEN USED TO CRITICIZE AND CHALLENGE POLICY, TO SET ONE
EXECUTIVE AGENCY AGAINST ANOTHER AND TO EXPOSE DISAGREEMENTS
WITHIN AN ADMINISTRATION. BY THE SAME TOKEN, I REGARD THE
DISTRIBUTION OF INTELLIGENCE REPORTS TO CONGRESS AS AN
IMPORTANT ADDED PROTECTION FOR THE OBJECTIVITY AND INTEGRITY OF
OUR ASSESSMENTS.
MOST SPECIALISTS WRITING ABOUT THE CHANGE IN RECENT YEARS
IN THE BALANCE OF POWER BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE AND CONGRESS ON
NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY CITE WATERGATE AND VIETNAM AS PRIMARY
CAUSES. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A THIRD PRINCIPAL FACTOR: THE
OBTAINING, BY CONGRESS IN THE MID 1970S, OF ACCESS TO
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION ESSENTIALLY EQUAL TO THAT OF THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
THIS SITUATION ADDS EXTRAORDINARY STRESS TO THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CIA AND THE POLICY AGENCIES.
POLICYMAKERS' SUSPICIONS THAT THE CIA USES INTELLIGENCE TO
SABOTAGE SELECTED ADMINISTRATION POLICIES ARE OFTEN BARELY
CONCEALED. AND MORE THAN A FEW MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE WILLING
TO EXPLOIT THIS SITUATION BY THEIR OWN SELECTIVE USE OF
INTELLIGENCE THAT SUPPORTS THEIR VIEWS. THE END RESULT IS A
STRENGTHENING OF THE CONGRESSIONAL HAND IN POLICY DEBATES AND A
GREATER HEIGHTENING OF THE TENSIONS BETWEEN CIA AND THE REST OF
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
I MIGHT ADD THAT THE OVERSIGHT PROCESS ALSO HAS GIVEN
CONGRESS -- ESPECIALLY THE TWO INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES -- FAR
GREATER KNOWLEDGE OF AND INFLUENCE OVER THE WAY CIA AND OTHER
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SPEND THEIR MONEY THAN ANYONE IN THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH WOULD DREAM OF EXERCISING, CONGRESS HAS BEEN
IMMENSELY SUPPORTIVE AND STEADFAST OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS IN
PROVIDING THE RESOURCES TO REBUILD AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. BUT
I SUSPECT IT CAUSES POLICYMAKERS CONSIDERABLE HEARTBURN TO KNOW
THAT CONGRESS MAY ACTUALLY HAVE MORE INFLUENCE TODAY OVER
INTELLIGENCE PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES THAN THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
THE INTELLIGENCE?POLICYMAKER TANGLE
EACH OF THE FOUR FUNCTIONS OF INTELLIGENCE THAT I HAVE
DESCRIBED -- COLLECTION, ANALYSIS, COVERT ACTION, AND THE

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
RELATIONSHIP WITH CONGRESS -- AFFECTS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
CIA AND THE POLICYMAKER. SHERMAN KENT, A PROFESSOR OF HISTORY
AT YALE WHO BECAME A SENIOR ANALYST IN THE OFFICE OF STRATEGIC
SERVICES AND WAS LATER DIRECTOR OF CIA'S OFFICE OF NATIONAL
ESTIMATES, WROTE IN 1949: "THERE IS NO PHASE OF THE
INTELLIGENCE BUSINESS WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PROPER
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE ITSELF AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE
ITS PRODUCT. ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS RELATIONSHIP, WHICH ONE WOULD
EXPECT TO ESTABLISH ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY, DOES NOT DO THIS."
THE FACT IS THAT OVER THE YEARS THE POLICYMAKER AND THE
INTELLIGENCE OFFICER HAVE CONSISTENTLY (AND WITH FRIGHTENINGLY
FEW EXCEPTIONS) COME TOGETHER HUGELY IGNORANT OF THE REALITIES
AND COMPLEXITIES OF EACH OTHERS WORLDS -- PROCESS, TECHNIQUE,
FORM AND CULTURE. CIA OFFICERS CAN DESCRIBE IN EXCRUCIATING
DETAIL HOW FOREIGN POLICY IS MADE IN EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
SAVE ONE -- THE UNITED STATES. BY THE SAME TOKEN, AS SUGGESTED
BY PROFESSOR YEHOSHAFAT HARKABI, THE UNHAPPINESS OF
INTELLIGENCE PEOPLE "SWELLS WHEN THEY COMPARE THE
SOPHISTICATION AND ADVANCED METHODS EMPLOYED IN THE COLLECTION
OF THE INFORMATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF INTELLIGENCE AGAINST
THE CAVALIER FASHION OR IMPROVISATION WITH WHICH POLICY
DECISIONS ARE MANY A TIME REACHED."
INDEED, MY DESCRIPTION AT THE OUTSET OF MY REMARKS OF THE
FUNCTIONS OF INTELLIGENCE DOES NOT ADDRESS CENTRAL QUESTIONS
SUCH AS WHETHER CERTAIN USERS OF INTELLIGENCE SEEK, NOT DATA OR
UNDERSTANDING, BUT SUPPORT FOR DECISIONS ALREADY MADE; WHETHER
10
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
THEY SELECTIVELY USE OR MISSTATE INTELLIGENCE TO INFLUENCE
PUBLIC DEBATE OVER POLICY; WHETHER THEY DISINGENUOUSLY LABEL
INTELLIGENCE THEY DISLIKE AS TOO SOFT, TOO HARD, OR "COOKED";
WHETHER SOME INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS ARE ADDRESSING PERSONAL
AGENDAS OR BIASES. IT DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
UNHAPPINESS OF POLICYMAKERS WITH INTELLIGENCE THAT CHALLENGES
THE ADEQUACY OF POLICIES OR ACCURACY OF POLICYMAKER
PRONOUNCEMENTS. IT DOES NOT REVEAL THE IMPLICATIONS FOR
INTELLIGENCE AND POLICY OF A CIA DIRECTOR WHO IS HELD AT TOO
GREAT A DISTANCE FROM THE PRESIDENT, OR OF ONE WHO IS TOO
CLOSELY ASSOCIATED. IT DOES NOT TREAT POLICYMAKERS'
FRUSTRATIONS WITH INADEQUATE, AMBIGUOUS OR LATE INTELLIGENCE;
WITH CONSTANTLY CHANGING EVALUATIONS, WITH ANALYSIS THAT IS
JUST PLAIN WRONG, OR THE USE OF INTELLIGENCE AS A POLITICAL
FOOTBALL IN STRUGGLES BETWEEN GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS OR BETWEEN
THE EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES. AND, FINALLY, MY
DESCRIPTION DOES NOT DEAL WITH THE PREOCCUPATION OF
POLICYMAKERS WITH CURRENT REPORTING AS OPPOSED TO LONGER RANGE
ISSUES, OR THE ABDICATION OF POLICYMAKERS FROM THEIR
INTELLIGENCE GUIDANCE RESPONSIBILITIES.
EVEN WITH THIS LITANY OF PROBLEMS, THE DIALOGUE AND
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLICYMAKERS AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS IS,
ON THE WHOLE, A VITAL AND HEALTHY ONE; THE INHERENT STRESSES
ARE MANAGED CONSTRUCTIVELY AND TO GOOD PURPOSE. AND, IN THIS
RELATIONSHIP, THE OBJECTIVITY AND INTEGRITY OF ASSESSMENTS HAVE
BEEN PROTECTED. ON SUBJECTS SUCH AS VIETNAM, VARIOUS ASPECTS

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
OF SOVIET POLICY AND BEHAVIOR, ANGOLA, LEBANON, IRAN AND THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS EMBARGOES OR SANCTIONS, AS WELL AS ON
A NUMBER OF OTHER EVENTS AND ISSUES, THE CIA'S ANALYSTS HAVE
DRAWN CONCLUSIONS THAT HAVE DASHED COLD WATER ON THE HOPES AND
EFFORTS OF POLICYMAKERS. SOMETIMES THE CIA ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN
WRONG, MORE OFTEN THEY HAVE BEEN RIGHT; BUT ON PROBLEMS BOTH
LARGE AND SMALL THE AGENCY HAS NOT FLINCHED FROM PRESENTING ITS
HONEST VIEW.
THE FUTURE
I HAVE FOCUSED MY REMARKS ON TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, CIA, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CIA,
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE CONGRESS. BEFORE CLOSING, I WOULD
LIKE TO MENTION SEVERAL TRENDS THAT DOMINATE OUR WORK NOW AND
ALMOST CERTAINLY IN THE FUTURE:
AS WE CONTEMPLATE THE STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
SOVIET UNION, A DOMINATING REALITY IS THAT THE MARGIN
FOR ERROR OF US INTELLIGENCE STEADILY IS BECOMING
NARROWER. THE COSTS OF MISESTIMATING OR OF
MISCALCULATING WILL BE HIGH. THIS IS AT A TIME WHEN
SOVIET WEAPONS ARE PRODUCED WITH GREATER SECRECY,
HIGHER TECHNOLOGY AND MORE EFFORT TO MISLEAD US THAN
EVER BEFORE, AND WHEN THE DEMANDS ON US FOR MONITORING
COMPLIANCE WITH ARMS CONTROL ARE BECOMING ALWAYS MORE
COMPLEX AND DETAILED.
12

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
INTELLIGENCE FOR SOME YEARS NOW HAS BEEN MARKED BY A
GROWING DIVERSITY OF THE PROBLEMS AND ISSUES IT IS
EXPECTED TO ADDRESS. TODAY, THE SOVIET UNION AND CHINA
TOGETHER PROBABLY ACCOUNT FOR NO MORE THAN HALF OF OUR
OVERALL WORK. THE DIVERSITY OF ISSUES THAT WE COVER --
WHICH I DESCRIBED EARLY IN MY REMARKS -- IS EXPANDING
EVERY DAY.
THE GROWING DIVERSITY OF ISSUES HAS BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY
GROWING NUMBER AND DIVERSITY OF THE USERS OF
INTELLIGENCE. WE NOW SUPPLY INTELLIGENCE TO NEARLY
EVERY DEPARTMENT AND AGENCY OF THE GOVERNMENT AS WELL
AS TO THE CONGRESS. AND WE ARE UNDER INCREASING
PRESSURE TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC.
INTELLIGENCE INCREASINGLY IS BECOMING CENTRAL IN POLICY
DELIBERATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAPACITY OF US
INTELLIGENCE TO MONITOR OR VERIFY SOVIET COMPLIANCE
WITH ARMS CONTROL AGREEMENTS INCREASINGLY IS DRIVING
THE NEGOTIATING PROCESS. AGREEMENTS THAT CANNOT BE
INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY THE UNITED STATES PROBABLY
CANNOT BE RATIFIED. SIMILARLY, IN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER,
COUNTERNARCOTICS, COUNTERTERRORISM AND A RANGE OF OTHER
ISSUES, INTELLIGENCE IS PROVIDING THE STRATEGIC CONTEXT
AS WELL AS TACTICAL INFORMATION.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
FINALLY, INCREASINGLY, INTELLIGENCE IS THE ONLY PART OF
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT THAT IS LOOKING AHEAD -- WHAT I
CALL "SCOUTING THE FUTURE". WE ARE INCREASINGLY ALONE
IN IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES THIS COUNTRY
WILL ENCOUNTER OVERSEAS FIVE OR TEN YEARS FROM NOW OR
EVEN WELL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY.
CONCLUSION
THE REAL INTELLIGENCE STORY IN RECENT YEARS IS THE
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY, RELEVANCE AND
TIMELINESS OF INTELLIGENCE ASSISTANCE TO POLICYMAKERS -- A
STORY THAT WITH RARE ANECDOTAL EXCEPTIONS CANNOT BE PUBLICLY
DESCRIBED, IN CONTRAST TO THE PUBLICITY SURROUNDING
CONTROVERSIAL COVERT ACTIONS, PROBLEMS BETWEEN THE CIA AND THE
CONGRESS, AND SPY SCANDALS. WE CANNOT HOPE TO COUNTER THE
AVALANCHE OF ALLEGATIONS AGAINST US IN THE DAILY NEWS.
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT EVERY ACCUSED MURDERER AND DRUG DEALER
IN THE COUNTRY CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR US. THE
ALLEGATIONS ALWAYS SEEM TO MAKE PAGE 1; THE REFUTATIONS OR
FACTS, IF THEY APPEAR AT ALL, ARE IN THE BACK PAGES. THE
MYSTIQUE AND MYTHOLOGY OF CIA -- AND OUR SILENCE WHEN ATTACKED
-- MAKE US A DANDY TARGET. ACCORDINGLY, I WOULD URGE YOU TO BE
SKEPTICAL READERS OF INTELLIGENCE STORIES -- GOOD OR BAD.
THE FACT IS, CIA CANNOT ADVERTISE BETTER COLLECTION OR
INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS. CIA OFFICERS UNDERSTAND THIS POLITICAL

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/13: CIA-RDP90G01353R002000030037-1
REALITY, BUT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AMERICANS KNOW THAT THE
CIA'S PRIMARY MISSION REMAINS THE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF
INFORMATION. THIS IS THE CIA'S PRINCIPAL ROLE IN THE MAKING OF
AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. THE PRESIDENT, THE POLICY COMMUNITY
AND THE CONGRESS DEPEND UPON THE CIA, TASK IT AND LOOK TO IT
MORE EACH DAY. THE CIA ATTRACTS AMERICA'S MOST CAPABLE YOUNG
PEOPLE, WHO FIND THEIR WORK WITH THE AGENCY TO BE AN
EXCEPTIONALLY CHALLENGING, HONORABLE AND CONSISTENTLY
FASCINATING CAREER. AS JOHN RANELAGH OBSERVES IN HIS RECENTLY
PUBLISHED HISTORY OF THE CIA, "IN ITS MOMENTS OF ACHIEVEMENT AS
WELL AS CONDEMNATION, THE AGENCY WAS A REMINDER THAT IT WAS A
FAITHFUL INSTRUMENT OF THE MOST DECENT AND PERHAPS THE SIMPLEST
OF THE GREAT POWERS, AND CERTAINLY THE ONE THAT EVEN IN ITS
DARKEST PASSAGES PRACTICED MOST CONSISTENTLY THE VIRTUE OF
HOPE."
THE UNITED STATES HAS THE FINEST GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE
SERVICE IN THE WORLD. FAITHFUL TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
LAW, IT HELPS TO SAFEGUARD OUR FREEDOM AGAINST OUR ADVERSARIES
AND HELPS THE POLICYMAKER UNDERSTAND AND DEAL WITH THE OFTEN
DANGEROUS WORLD AROUND US. INTELLIGENCE IS AMERICA'S FIRST
LINE OF DEFENSE -- ITS EYES AND EARS, AND, AT TIMES, ITS HIDDEN
HAND. AND, JUST POSSIBLY, AMERICA IS AT PEACE TONIGHT BECAUSE
AROUND THE WORLD, FROM SHADOWY STREETS TO THE DEPTHS OF SPACE,
AMERICA'S INTELLIGENCE SERVICES ARE ON GUARD -- KEEPING THE
WATCH.

Enclosed are some of the items which appe-red in print regarding
the Public Affairs Forum. I checked the two Pittsburgh papers as well
but found no coverage. They sometimes will only show up if there is a
formal press conference beforehand.
I got a chuckle out of the coverage of the Greensburg Tribune-
Review. I know the reporter who did the story, and she did an excellent
job. When the editor got his hands on it, he snipped off one segment
to use, on the grounds that he did not have enough space to print the

Lee Forum
By BENJAMIN PRATT
Gazette Staff Assistant
The demand for intelligence is mush-
rooming, positioning the Central Intelli-
gence Agency and other such organiza-
tions squarely at center stage of foreign
affairs while those agencies would pre-
fer to remain behind the scenes. accord-
ing to speakers at the annual Raymond
L. Lee Public Affairs Forum, held Mon-
day in Indiana University of Pennsylva-
nia's Fisher Auditorium.
Dr. Robert Gates, deputy director of
Central Intelligence who is responsible
for overseeing the entire national intelli-
gence community, and Rep. Lee Hamil-
ton ( R-Indiana ), chairman of the Select
Committee to Investigate Covert Arms
Transactions with Iran, discussed the
ever-increasing role of intelligence in to-
day's international political scene.
Gates, who has served as acting direc-
tor of the CIA, outlined the functions and
pointed out some of the misconceptions
of his agency, while Hamilton directed
his remarks towards Congressional in-
volvement in intelligence. The tradition-
al functions of the CIA include gather-
ing. analyzing and distributing data for
the President and Congress, Gates said.
Information gathering is done through
traditional means such as the use of
spies and through technology as com-
plex as satellites and as simple as wire-
taps.
Traditionally, the CIA and all other in-
telligence agencies are for the purpose
of helping policy-makers construct bet-
ter courses of action, he said.
But the newest CIA function, the one
that causes extreme amounts of contrik
versy even within the agency. is carry-

Contra arms deal.
? Covert operations, which can be eco-
nomic, political, propagandistic or para-
military, according to Gates, do not re-
quire the approval of Congress. They are
Left to the scrutiny of the executive
branch of the U.S. government so they
can remain secret.
While many Americans have recent-
ly opposed covert action. both Gates and
Hamilton support it as long as "it is used
to complement other public policies," as
Hamilton said.
Hamilton said the President must be
able to initiate covert operations without
the consent of Congress, but Congress
should be informed of the operations
through intelligence. -
The most difficult task, though. has
been determining who will carry out co-
vert actions.
"In my view, the CIA should not be-
come an agency that carries out covert
operations, but rather it should remain
an implementer," Gates said.
But, Hamilton said, the CIA is the
best-qualified agency to deal with the se-
cret actions. "We'll have to live with the
CIA carrying out covert operations be-
cause Congress and the government are
? just not qualified," he said. "I would feel
more comfortable if the CIA could just
do what it was intended to do ? collect
and analyze information for the policy-
makers."
Hamilton opposed paramilitary covert
actions.
"Attempting to wage large-scale para-
military actions covertly cannot suc-
ceed," he said. "It cannot remain si-
lent."

, "Because of the tremendous
growth, I have a lot of concern about
our intelligence system. I worry
about leaks,.I worry about misuse of

sification of information, which is
somewhat archaic, and I worry

Despite the tremendous interna-
tional growth in intelligence, Gates
said, "CIA officers can describe in
excruciating detail how the policies
of every country in the world are
made except for one: the United
States." ?
Gates blamed poor communica-
tion between Congress and the intel-
ligence community for the lack of
domestic information exchange.
, Hamilton said U.S. intelligence is
outstanding, but it has a long way to
go.
"I feel we are well-informed about

don't know as much as we would like
about what goes on inside the Krem-
lin. We are strong in some areas and
weak in others."
Still, both speakers believed the

CIA not invisible government,' official says
By MIG KNAUB
Penn Senior Staff Writer
The Raymond E. Lee Public
Affairs Fonun presented the topic
"Covert Action and the Intelli-
Dr. Robert M. Gates
gence Function" Monday night at
Fisher Auditorium.
Representative Lee Hamilton,
who chaired the House's Select
Committee to Investigate Covert
Arms with Iran, and Dr. Robert M.
Gates, deputy director of the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency, were the
featured speakers.
Gates, who was President
Reagan's initial choice to head the
CIA upon William Casey's death,
addressed the topic of the tradi-
tional function of intelligence.
Hamilton, an expert on Congres-
sional oversight, spoke on covert
action and the process of initiating
Coven action.
According to Gates, the public
views of the intelligence commu-
nity are shaped to a great extent by
the media. He said the romantic
concept of the CIA as an "invisible
government" is contrary to the fact
that "the CIA is the most visible
and public intelligence service in
the world."
Gates outlined the functions of
the intelligence community as the
collection of intelligence world-
wide; the correlation, evaluation
and dissemination of this intelli-
gence; and the responsibility of
retaining relations with Congress
and other policy makers.
Gates called the intelligence
community, which is comprised
not only of the CIA but also of the
National Security Council, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and the intelligence departments of
the armed services, the finest
global intelligence community in
the world.
? "[The intelligence conununityl
is a safeguard to our freedom," he
said. "It's the United States' first
line of defense. It's possible that
we are at peace right now because
of America's intelligence service."
Hamilton praised the accom-
plishments of the intelligence
conummity and pointed to the
"staggering responsibility" of
providing information to Con-
gress. the defense agencies and the
executive branch of the govern-
ment.
"It's an inherently daunting
task that our intelligence commu-
nity has," he said. "But even so,
every president has been exasper-
ated with the quality of intelli-
gence."
Technological advances have
transformed previosly uncollec-
table information to required infar-
mation, Hamilton said, increasing
the community's responsibility as
collectors and analysts.
The representative emphasized
that a very small percentage of in-
telligence's efforts were of a co-
yen nature. He classified the types
of covert action as political, eco-
nomic, para-military, and
propoganda.
"It's the para-military coven
action that worries me the most,"
he said. Hamilton feels that since
covert action can be undertaken at
the president's order, without the
consent of Congress, it subverts
the Constitutional process.
Hamilton said the greatest
problems arise when officials as-
sume thay have the inherent power
to withhold information from Con-
gress about covert activity.
"In my opinion, information
cannot be withheld from an equal
branch of government," he said.
"This is a separation of powers;
it destroys the equality of the
branches."
Questions from the audience
were answered following the pres-
entations.

U.S. intelligence operations topic at IUP
? By Pat Rich
? For The Tribune-Democrat 4/13 I I 7
Indiana .
The community of Indiana Univer-
? sity of Pennsylvania received a first-
hand look at U.S. intelligence opera-
tions during a lecture featuring Dr.
Robert N. Gates, deputy director for
? central intelligence, and U.S. Rep.
Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., chairman of
the select committee to investigate
covert arms transactions with Iran.
? The topic at the 29th annual Ray-
mond L. Lee Public Affairs Forum at
IUP's Fisher Auditorium was covert
and intelligence action.
Dr. Gates explained there are
many fallacies concerning the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency.
"The CIA is said to be the invisible
government," Dr. Gates said. "Yet, it
is the most visible and most scruti-
nized. I believe there is little under-
standing of the functions of the agen-
cy."
He broke down the functions into
four categories ? collection of infor-
mation, analysis of that information,
implementation of covert action and
support to the Congress by supplying
information to legislators.
Dr. Gates said inforniation is col-
lected by tapping resources, such as
satellites, and from the media, diplo-
mats overseas and secret agents.
The second function of the CIA ?
analysis ? consists of gathering the
information into a clear and precise
form to be distributed to the execu-
tive branch of government.
"These national intelligence re-
ports are important to policy-making
decisions," he said.
Covert operations
The third function is implementing
covert action, for which the agency
solely is responsible. According to Dr.
Gates, there are not as many covert
operations as often believed.
"You can read dozens of books on
how many covert operations are go-
Ing on in the world," he said, "but the
fact is that only 3 percent of the CIA
is involved in covert action."
Dr. Gates stated that the only co-
-
JOHNSTOWN TRIBUNE?DEMOCRAT
.vert actions that people hear about
are ones that failed and that many of
those operations were approved by
? policy-makers as last-ditch efforts.
The fourth and final function of the
CIA is to supply the Congress with
classified information.
"I regard the distribution of these
reports to Congress as important to
the integrity of our assessments," Dr.
Gates said.
Rep. Hamilton backed what Dr.
Gates said and spent most of his
speech defending the country's intelli-
gence operations. He explained that
in recent years the country has wit-
nessed events such as covert action to
sell arms to Iran that have brought
scrutiny to the intelligence communi-
ty.
"Sometimes the president gets
very unhappy about the quality of our
Intelligence," Rep. Hamilton said.
"But my impression is that we have a
very good intelligence service."
He also said that good intelligence
Is important to the security of the
U.S. and that one of the main tasks of
the intelligence service is to assess
actions of other governments to de-
termine what it means to our coun-
try.
"For example, if our information is
wrong about Soviet strategy," Rep.
Hamilton said, "it may be safe to say
we may not survive."
Although he supported more covert
action, Rep. Hamilton said he feels
that it should be undertaken with the
utmost of caution and only when es-
sential. He also said he believes that
covert activities should not be the re-
sponsibility only of the CIA, although
he is not quite sure into whose lap the
responsibility should fall.
_
"We somehow need to strengthen
Congress and the executive branch in
covert action."
As for the so-called Irangate-Con-
tra episode, Rep. Hamilton told the
audience .that he was both puzzled
and saddened at the outcome of the
hearings, especially concerning the
actions of Col. Oliver North and Adm.
John Poindexter. He said that he had
known the two men for six years and
that he had a high regard for their
dedication.
?
"I was filled with puzzlement and
sadness becaue these patriotic serv-
ants had a different impression of
what the Constitution is all about
than what I was taught," he said.

Lawmaker istpuzzled,
sad over Cdntra.affair
By The Tribune-Review
U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton, chairman of the Select Committee to Inves-
tigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran, said he reacted with "puz-
zlement and even a little bit of sadness" when White House aides John
Poindexter and Oliver North, testified about their roles in the Iran-
/Contra controversy.
Hamilton called Poindexter 'and North "dedicated and loyal of-
ficers," but he said portions of their testimonycaused him to wonder
"how it is that these loyal and patriotic Americans could so profoundly
misunderstand the Constitution that they believed a national security
adviser was the place where the buck stopped or (that) they could act
without any interference from anyone else."
Hamilton spoke on the topic of "Covert Action and Congressional
Oversight" at Indiana University of Pennsylvania Monday night.
Hamilton said he strongly disagrees with President Reagan's conten-
tion the president has the right to withhold information from Congress
about covert intelligence activities under certain circumstances. With-
holding such information severely damages the balance of power be-
tween the branches of government and prevents Congress from offer-
ing objections to covert actions "when it can do some good," Hamilton
said.
Hamilton identified paramilitary operations such as those intended
to support the Contra rebels in Nicaragua as his area of greatest con-
cern.
"In my view, using the CIA to wage war through surrogates tends to
subvert the constitutional process. All but a few members of Congress
are cut out of the decision-making process," he said.
However, Hamilton said few members ofCongress would favor a total
ban on covert intelligence actions, and he said such actions can be a
"useful tool of foreign policy" as long as they are not used as a substi-

- One of the first_major acts directed against --

including Ambassador Bruce Laingen, was held _

Responding to acts of terrorism is a difficult

of all U.S. government agencies as well as of the
government in the country where the act occurs.
We are just beginning to make progress in
combating terrorist acts. Ambassador Robert

Indiana, Pennsylvania
Since its founding in 1875, the University has graduated over 90,000 students, and since it became a degree-
conferring institution In 1927, It has granted approximately 85,000 degrees. In 1965, the Institution was
redesignated Indiana University of Pennsylvania and given the right to expand its curricula and to grant
degrees at the master's level, as well as at the doctoral level. Currently, IUP offers fifty-five master's and
six doctoral degree programs. The major University divisions are the Colleges of Business, Education, Fine
Arts, Health Sciences, Human Ecology, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social Sciences and
Humanities; the School of Continuing Education; and the Graduate School.
IUP's steady growth?from 225 students In 1875 to over 13.000 today?has caused a continuous expansion
In its building program and has resulted in many new facilities since the completion of the first structure, John
Sutton Hall. The size and natural beauty of the campus offer students ample opportunities for recreation in
an environment conducive to personal enjoyment. The main campus of the University, originally consisting
of 12 acres with one building, is now composed of 162 acres with sixty buildings owned by the state. The
University Lodge, located a few miles from Indiana and surrounded by 280 acres of wooded hillside, provides
facilities for nature study and numerous University activities.
IUP was one of just fifty colleges or universities in the United States to be cited in an article entitled "Good
Colleges at Bargain Prices," which appeared in the November 1982 issue of Changing Times, The Kiplinger
Magazine. The article explored the problem of rising college expenses and concluded with a list of "50 Good
Colleges that Cost Less." IUP was included among the good colleges at which total costs?tuition and fees,
room and board, books and supplies, and transportation and personal expenses?were estimated to be more
than $1100 less expensive than the national average for a four-year private-college education.
IUP also operates two branch campuses. The first branch campus was established in 1962 in Punxsutawney.
The following year, the Armstrong County campus in Kittanning was opened. Approximately 300 students
are enrolled at the Punxsutawney campus and 500 students at the Armstrong County campus. A number
of University faculty members teach full-time at both branch campuses. To meet additional curriculum needs,
other faculty members from the main campus travel to the branch campuses. The branches provide one or
two full years of college work. If work at a branch campus is completed satisfactorily, students may transfer
to the main campus of IUP or to other accredited colleges.
Located in the foothills of the Alleghenies in the borough of Indiana, the seat of Indiana County, IUP is just
three blocks from the town's business district. The University is easily accessible by automobile from all
sections of the state over excellent state highways. Passenger services of various kinds operate on frequent
schedules, connecting Indiana with all nearby cities and towns, including Pittsburgh, Altoona, and Johnstown.
Bus service connects Indiana with the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Johnstown and Pittsburgh.
The community of Indiana has more than thirty churches, representing all major faiths. All churches are within
walking distance of the campus.
IUP awards B.A., B.S., B.F.A., and B.S.Ed. degrees in approximately 100 majors in the areas of the arts and
sciences, business, consumer services, elementary and secondary education, fine arts, food and nutrition,
health and physical education, home economics, medical technology, nursing, respiratory therapy, and safety
management. IUP also offers the Associate of Arts degree in business and criminology at one of its branch
campuses. Dual majors are available to students who wish to augment their academic background.
IUP provides for the nourishment of the whole man and woman through the core curriculum of 52 hours of
general education courses. In addition to fulfilling the general education requirements, each student must
complete the necessary major and/or minor requirements to reach the minimum total of 124 credits
necessary for graduation.
Courses taken by students under the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board prior to admission
may be recognized by the awarding of college credit or by the exemption of students from required subjects.
For students who have acquired learning in nontraditional or other ways or who have advanced in a given
field, an opportunity to gain exemption from a course is offered through examinations given at the discretion
of each department.
The University offers an Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program.
IUP operates on two 14-week semesters?September through December and January through May?plus
two summer sessions of 3 weeks each and one of 6 weeks.
The University participates in joint programs with other colleges and universities. Included in these cooperative
programs are one in family medicine with Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. one
in forestry with Duke University, two in engineering with Drexel University and the University of Pittsburgh,
one in graphic arts with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. one in jewelry with the Bowman Technical School, one
in optometry with Pennsylvania College of Optometry, and one in podiatry with Philadelphia School of
Podiatry.
The Center for International Studies has arrangements for students to study in numerous foreign countries.
Each year, approximately 200 students study abroad. Other opportunities for off-campus study include the
marine science consortium, graphic arts exchange program, internships, and studies in the health services,
which are offered through the University's affiliations with hospitals and other universities.?
The Information Systems and Communications Center, established in 1963 on the ground floor of Stright Hall,
provides computational support for undergraduate and graduate courses, faculty and student research, and
the administrative requirements of the University. Terminals, located in the center and in various departments
on campus, permit the use of the computer on a time-sharing basis.
The library complex, completed in 1981, provides study room for about 1.200 students. The total library
holdings of 592,239 volumes are housed in the main library building. The well-organized general holdings
are enhanced by the reference collection, 4,569 current magazines, extensive files of bound magazines,
1,660,000 units of microforms, 8,000 filmstrips, and 34,000 audiorecordings.

Dr. Robert Gates
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency ,
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Dr. Gates:
On behalf of the Public Affairs Forum committee, I would
like to invite you to be a co-keynote speaker at this year's
event. The topic will be "Covert Action and the Intelligence
Function". The forum will take place on Monday evening, April
11, 1988, at the Fisher Auditorium on the IUP campus.
To make participation feasible for our Washington guests, I
charter a twin-engine Beechcraft Kingaire aircraft from Page
Airways, operating out of Dulles International Airport. The
aircraft is fully equipped and carries a pilot and co-pilot. The
schedule looks something like this:
Monday, April 11:
5:00 p.m. - leave Dulles International Airport on Page
Airways for Indiana, Pennsylvania.
5:40 p.m. - arrive Jimmy Stewart Airport, Indiana, Pa.
6:00 p.m. - dinner with the IUP President, selected faculty
and students.
7:15 p.m. - press interviews with regional newspapers and
t.v.
8:00 p.m. - presentation at Fisher Auditorium, followed by
questions from audience (written questions).
10:00 p.m. - return to Jimmy Stewart Airfield for return to
Washington, D.C.
10:45 p.m. - arrival at Dulles International Airport
As you can see, we make every effort to minimize your time
away from Washington, D.C. [while utilizing your talents for our

-norMally, receive excellent regional media coverage for the event.
I am extending a similar invitation to Rep. Lee Hamilton, of
the House Intelligence Committee, to appear as co-keynoter on the
same evening. My notion is that you might speak on the
"Traditional Functions of National Intelligence", while Rep.
Hamilton might speak on "Covert Action- and Congressional
Oversight". We aren't looking for a debate, but for a reasoned
discussion of the various roles of intelligence in a free
society.
I just finished reading your article in the most recent
issues of "Foreign Affairs" and found it most interesting. Last
April, with the Center for the Study of Intelligence held a
conference for professors who taught intelligence-related
courses, I had the opportunity to speak with you very .briefly
during a late afternoon reception at Langley. Now it is my turn
to offer hospitality to you.
We hope that you can participate in the Public Affairs Forum
this year. I am enclosing a program from our previous forum (I
was unable to secure appropriate speakers last year- for the
first time since the forum's inception we messed things up!) As
you can see from the list of speakers over the past decade, we
have attracted a wide variety of notable personalities for the
occasion.

RE: Speaking Invitation
Co-keynote Speaker
Public Affairs Forum Committee
Indiana University of Pennsylvania .
Indiana, Pennsylvania
11 April, 1983
Professor of Political Science at Indiana University of Pennsylvania
(IUP), Edward Platt, has invited you to be the co-keynote speaker at the
annual Raymond L. Lee Public Affairs Forum on Monday evening 11 April. The
event will take place at the Fisher Auditorium on the IUP campus. An
invitation to be the co-keynote speaker has been extended to Representative
Lee Hamilton. The suggested topics are for you to speak on the "Traditional
Functions of National Intelligence" and Representative Hamilton on "Covert
Action and Congressional Oversight." The format would be 20 - 30 minutes of
remarks by each speaker followed by 30 - 45 minute question and answer
period. Dr. Platt does not intend for this to become a debate, but rather a
"reasoned discussion of the various roles of intelligence in a free society."
You could expect an audience of 750 - 1000 students, faculty, and general
public. The electronic and print media will cover the event.
The Public Affairs Forum, established in 1959, provides a platform for
views of contemporary political issues to be aired before the college
community. Previous speakers have included Ambassador L. Bruce Laingen,
Ambassador Robert B. Oakley, Representative Philip Crane and Representative
Leon Panetta. (See brochure opposite for complete list.)
This looks like a good forum for you to address and 1 recommend that you
accept this invitation. As yet the University does not have Representative
Hamilton's acceptance, but we understand that the invitation is under serious
consideration. Another member of one of the Congressional Oversight
Committees will be invited if he declines. Attached is a letter of acceptance
for your signature.

Dear Dr. Gates:
On behalf of the Public Affairs Forum committee, I would
like to invite you to be a co-keynote speaker at this year's
event. The topic will be "Covert Action and the Intelligence
Function". The forum will take place on Monday evening, April
11, 1988, at the Fisher Auditorium on the IUP campus.
To make participation feasible for our Washington guests, I
charter a twin-engine Beechcraft Kingaire aircraft from Page
Airways, operating out of Dulles International Airport. The
aircraft is fully equipped and carries a pilot and co-pilot. The
schedule looks something like this:
Monday, April 11:
5:00 p.m. - leave Dulles International Airport on Page
Airways for Indiana, Pennsylvania.
5:40 p.m. - arrive Jimmy Stewart Airport, Indiana, Pa
6:00 p.m. - dinner with the IUP President, selected faculty
and students.
7:15 p.m. press interviews with regional newspapers and
t.v.
8:00 p.m. - presentation at Fisher Auditorium, followed by
questions from audience (written questions).
10:00 p.m. - return to Jimmy Stewart Airfield for return to
Washington, D.C.
10:45 p.m. - arrival at Dulles International Airport
As you can see, we make every effort to minimize your time
away from Washington, D.C. while utilizing your talents for our
pre-s,entation I understand' that you are not permitted to accept
an honorarium for your speech, but we will provide your
transportation and hospitality during your visit to us.
