MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM . Sayre Stevens
Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT . Proposal for Visit to CIA by a Group
of University Presidents
1. Action Requested: Your approval of a plan to issue
invitations to a Conference at CIA Headquarters to selected
university presidents. We suggest that you consider several
such conferences and from a larger list of potential attendees,
we have selected 13 names to invite to theinitial session..
We would expect six or seven of these would attend. We have
included biographic information on these 13 men.
2. This proposal is written on the assumption that it
would be strictly a CLA show here at Langley. As you know,
there is a case to be made for including participation by other
elements of the Community or the Executive Branch and holding
the meeting at sites other than Langley.

SUBJECT: Proposed Visit to CIA by a Group of Distinguished
University Presidents
1. Purpose of Visit: A modest but promising means of
dispelling some of the myths and misunderstandings about CIA is
to invite a distinguished group of university presidents to the
Agency for VIP briefings and tours. A main objective should be
to explain on the record what types of relationships CIA has on
campus and why they are important. Particular emphasis should be
placed on our research and analytical efforts and on the extensive
academic contacts that assist them.
Another important purpose would be to improve channels of
communication between CIA and leading academic centers in order
that we may increase our opportunity to profit from access to the
considerable bank of skills and talent to be found on the American
campus. Any success we may have in improving a university president's
understanding of the Agency undoubtedly would have a favorable
multiplier effect on campus. All of the universities on the initial
list proposed below have prestigious foreign area and other specialized
research centers (see Attachment A for a list) where analysis often
complements or supplements our own. Contacts between these centers
and Agency analytical components now consist almost entirely of
individual relationships.. We should attempt to broaden them and
to establish enduring institutional ties with many of the research
centers in order to promote cooperative research.
2. Time and Place of Visit: The first visit should be held
duw~he last quarter of this calendar year or shortly after the
Gras holidays. It obviously would be most convenient to conduct
these sessions at Headquarters. If this is unacceptable, other
Government or commercial facilities downtown could be acquired.
3. Agenda: There should be no requirement for security
clearances, but it would be necessary that the university presidents

be briefed with exceptional candor and openness on a wide spectrum
of Agency activities. Presentations by ould appear
to be essential elements in the program, e o widespread
concern in academia--most recently evident in the Harvard guidelines--
with CIA "spying" on campus. Representatives of the two DDO
divisions should describe the mission and operating procedures
of their components with an eye toward assuaging apprehensions
about improper CIA activities in the US.
The DDI's numerous analytical programs should also be a
major element of the program. Special and innovative research
STAT efforts and other resource analysis, strategic research
An effort should be made to formulate individual substantive
presentations for each president that would concentrate on an
analytical area of particular interest.
Although our primary purposes in hosting a visit by univer-
sity presidents are in the area of image building and improving
contacts, our scheduling and presentations should scrupulously avoid
the appearances of a high-pitched public relations campaign. One
means of helping to avoid the appearances of a rigidly controlled
visit is to schedule separate, informal sessions for each president
with a group of alumni from his university drawn from throughout
the Agency. The agendas for these meetings should be left open
for spontaneous and candid exchanges without the presence of senior
Agency officials.
4. Proposed Invitees: The following 13 presidents (see
Attachment B for o's Who in America bio sketches) of leading
American universities are recommended for the initial visit:

Martin D. Woodin

Each was recommended by al nd is con-
sidered likely to be receptive to an invitation from Admiral
Turner for a visit to CIA. DCD representatives believe that all
are generally favorable toward CIA. They were drawn from a much
larger list of presidents who would be candidates for additional
visits if the first one is successful.
We should not plan or expect all 13 to accept our first
invitation. The ideal size for such a visit, in fact, most likely
would be five or six presidents. It is recommended that invitations
be sent at the outset to eight or nine of the individuals on the
list with the expectation that at least a,_few will be unable to
accept.
