Top Intelligence Officials to Participate
In 8th Annual AFIO Convention, Oct. 1 - 2
A distinguished group of U.S. intelligence experts
has been lined up to appear as guest speakers and pan-
elists at AFIO's 8th annual national convention on 1 - 2
October, focussed on the theme "Soviet Penetration of
the Americas." Two panels, morning and afternoon,
have been arranged for October 1, the first day of the
convention. The morning session, dealing with Soviet
penetration of North America (U.S. and Canada) will
have as panelists Edward J. O'Malley, Assistant Director
of the FBI, and Major-General William Odom, currently
Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI), U.S.
Army. Moderator for this panel is Rear-Admiral William
C. Mott (USN ret), now vice-president and general
counsel for the National Strategic Information Center.
The afternoon discussion, concentrating on Soviet
penetration of Latin America, will have as panelists
Nestor Sanchez, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Inter-American Affairs and a former chief of the Latin
America Division of CIA's clandestine service; Jeremiah
O'Leary, veteran Washington diplomatic and foreign
correspondent now with the Washington Times and
recently with the National Security Council; and Kath-
leen B. Hayden, a DIA analyst in Latin American affairs.
John Barron to Speak
Guest speaker on Saturday, October 2nd, will be
John Barron, senior editor of Reader's Digest, award-
winning journalist, and author of a definitive book on the
KGB.
Tentative speaker for AFIO's banquet on October
2nd which officially closes the convention will be
Admiral (USN ret) Bobby Inman, until recently Depury
Director of Central Intelligence and former Director of
the National Security Agency.
On the second and final day of the convention, six
new Board members will be selected by convention
delegates to serve on AFIO's Board of Governors. The
names for these vacancies wil be offered to the mem-
bership by a nominating committee consisting of mem-
bers from the AFIO Executive Committee, from the floor
and write-in candidates.
Chairman Bob Brown and his small but exceedingly
hard-working committee have made full arrangements
for ensuring a smooth-running convention. Much more
hall space for all meetings, meals and other activities
will be available at prices which compare favorably with
those of previous years. The new convention site, the
Springfield (Va.) Hilton, has ample free parking space
and other facilities which will easily handle all of the
attending delegates. The hotel itself, located just south
of the Beltway (Route 495), is less than 30 minutes
driving time from the District of Columbia, on Route 95.
The convention insert in this issue of Periscope
describes registration formalities and the tentative
schedule. Members desiring to make convention reser-
vations are requested to do so as early as possible in
order to ensure hotel reservations and attendance at
convention functions.
