Dear Admiral Turner,
Further to my letter of October 26, 1977 I have received a
few more questions from our members and am passing them along to you on
the attached.
We are keeping in close touch with your staff on arrangements
for the December 7th dinner. We are anxious to do everything we can to
make the occasion easy for you, pleasant and effective. It will be great
to have you with us.
Most sincerely,

QUESTIONS FOR ADMIRAL TURNER
1. What impact do you expect~on the effectiveness of U.S. intelligence)from the
sentencing of Dick Helms and the inability of the government to protect the
identity of covert intelligence personnel? Are the prevailing attitudes of
American society regarding government and intelligence operations compatible
with an effective international intelligence operation?
2. What is the outlook for terrorist activities, e.g., hijacking, as it will
affect major European countries and, in particular, U.S. businesses opera-
ting in those countries?
3. What might be done to stem terrorism, particularly air piracy?
4. How could the CIA have been so far off in its predictions of this year's
grain harvest in Russia?
