Dear D etcher:
On behalf of the Agency and my colleagues, I personally want
to thank you for participating in our Guest Speaker Program on
2 February 1989. Your presentation was truly enlightening and
enjoyed by all.
As a result of your address, we came away with a new
appreciation of the opportunities and challenges facing NASA
as we enter the future. NASA can be proud of its developments
and accomplishments, and it is reassuring to know that the
United States remains a leader in space?age technology.
Sincerely,
William H. Webster
Director of Central Intelligence

THERE ?ARE FEW MEN WHO, HAVING ONCE HEADED AN ORGANIZATION,
ARE EVER ASKED TO LEAD IT AGAIN. OUR GUEST SPEAKER TODAY,
DR. JAMES C. FLETCHER, IS ONE OF THOSE RARE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE
TALENT AND ENERGY COMPELLED A REPEAT PERFORMANCE. DR. FLETCHER
SERVED AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE
ADMINISTRATION FROM 1971 TO 1977, AND HE ANSWERED PRESIDENT
REAGAN'S CALL TO RETURN TO NASA IN 1986. HIS MISSION WAS TO
REBUILD THE SPACE AGENCY AND RESTORE MORALE FOLLOWING THE
"CHALLENGER" TRAGEDY, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT HE HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFUL. THE VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS LAUNCH AND RETURN OF THE
SPACE SHUTTLE "DISCOVERY" LAST SEPTEMBER WAS PROOF THAT OUR
NATIONAL SPACE PROGRAM IS BACK ON TRACK.
WHILE HE IS PERHAPS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS ASSOCIATION WITH
NASA, DR. FLETCHER HAS HAD A LONG AND DISTINGUISHED CAREER AS A

RESEARCH SCIENTIST AND ACADEMICIAN. A GRADUATE OF COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY AND THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY,
DR. FLETCHER BEGAN HIS CAREER AS A RESEARCH PHYSICIST WITH THE
U.S. NAVY BUREAU OF ORDNANCE. AFTER HOLDING RESEARCH AND
TEACHING POSITIONS AT HARVARD AND PRINCETON UNIVERSITIES, HE
WORKED FOR SEVERAL FIRMS THAT WERE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN U.S.
AEROSPACE DEVELOPMENT. IN 1958, WITH AN ASSOCIATE, DR.
FLETCHER ORGANIZED AND WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE SPACE
ELECTRONICS CORPORATION. HE LATER SERVED AS PRESIDENT AND
CHAIRMAN OF THE SPACE GENERAL CORPORATION, AND THEN AS SYSTEMS
VICE PRESIDENT OF AEROJET GENERAL CORPORATION.
IN 1964, DR. FLETCHER BECAME THE EIGHTH PRESIDENT OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, A POST HE HELD FOR SEVEN YEARS BEFORE
BECOMING NASA ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME. AFTER LEAVING
NASA IN 1977, DR. FLETCHER HELD A PROFESSORSHIP AT THE

HE RETURNED TO THE SPACE AGENCY IN MAY, 1986.
AS A RESEARCH SCIENTIST, DR. FLETCHER HAS DEVELOPED PATENTS
IN SONAR DEVICES AND MISSILE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS. HE HAS WORKED
ON THE PRESIDENT'S SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND HAS SERVED ON
SEVERAL PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCES AND MANY GOVERNMENT-INDUSTRY
COMMITTEES.
DR. FLETCHER IS HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT "THE CHALLENGE AND
OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE," A TOPIC HE IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO
ADDRESS.
PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING DR. FLETCHER.

Dear Dr. Fletcher:
28 NOV1988,
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has established a guest speaker
program in the fields of science and technology. The CIA would welcome
your participation in this series.
You would address an audience of some 500 people, including many of
the Agency's senior managers, at our Headquarters complex. The format
includes a lecture of approximately 45 minutes followed by 20-30 minutes
of questions. Because of the Agency's interest in future U.S. space
programs and comparison of its goals and objectives to those of other
countries and groups, I hope you could focus your remarks on these issues.
We suggest any of the following times for your presentation:
24 January 1989 at 10:00 A.M.
02 February 1989 at 10:00 A.M.
23 February 1989 at 10:00 A.M.
If these are inconvenient, we would welcome a suggestion from you.
I appreciate your consideration of this invitation', and hope that you
will be able to accept. I have asked of our Office of
Training and Education to coordinate your visit, can be
reached at and will be happy to provide your office with
additional details about the program and all the support you will need.
Sincerely,
Is! Bill
