Major General James Pfautz
To follow up on our discussions yesterday
concerning your forthcoming SID conference.
--I would like to offer up
to present at least highlights of'what we
are doing in the wonderful world of warning.
Specific initiatives which may impact on
some, if not all, of the commands include:

terms could be urged. (Incidentally, CIA
is teaching a mid-level career course for the
first time which deals with military
analysis. It includes significant sections
on the military lexicon and culture. Not
a bad start.).
We'll be happy to play anyway you wish,
but I think the issues are worth addressing.
Next time, if we're both alive, I'll let you
invite me!
Thanks.
