FROM: William M. Baker
Director, Public Affairs Office
SUBJECT: Address of the Association of Former Intelligence

1. This is background information for your address at the Association of

10 October, 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon, at the Tysons Corner Sheraton Hotel,
8661 Leesburg Pike, Route 7 and the Dulles Access Road. Phone: [phone].
2. Arrangements: You are asked to be at the main entrance of the Tysons

Executive Director of AFIO, John Greaney, who will escort you to the Lord
Fairfax Ballroom. Mr. Greaney will introduce you at 10:45 a.m. and you are
scheduled to give 30 minutes of remarks. The suggested topic is the "Need for
Cooperation between the Intelligence Community and the Academic community."
After your address, Robert R. Simmons, an associate fellow at Berkeley
College, Yale University, is scheduled to give 30 minutes of remarks on the
role of the professor teaching a course on intelligence. Mr. Simmons wa
will follow. You will be seated on the dais at a table with Mr. Simmons and

Select Committee on Intelligence in 1981. (See biography and news articles
opposite.) A 20-minute question and answer period moderated by John Greaney
appointed Staff Director of the Sena e
Approximately 250 - 300 AFIO members, spouses, and guests will make up the
audience. THE NEW YORK TIMES' investigative reporter Steven Engelberg,
NEWSWEEK's national security reporter Richard Sandza, and Joe Trento formerly
of the WILMINGTON NEWS will cover the event. You will recall that Mr. Trento
took advantage of John Paisley's death and embellished on the story to keep it
in the public eye and make it look as though it was something more than a
suicide. Reporters Kate Coe and Mitchell Kross from Los Angeles TV station
KCET will be taping the program along with ABC and CNN. DCI Security also
will tape your remarks for the Agency's historical records.
Members of the AFIO Board of Directors will be present. (See letter head

3. Background: The theme of the 1987 Convention will be
"Counter n e Bence". The topic will be explored from the perspective of a
need for counterintelligence to meet the threat of the KGB. The specific
topics which will be discussed include "Foreign Counterintelligence Outside
the United States" as well as "Foreign Counterintelligence Inside the United
States." The threat from domestic subversive groups and a wrap-up of the
current reaction to the threat of foreign intelligence operations against the
United States is also on the agenda. (For further information see PERISCOPE
opposite.) General Richard Stilwell will be the luncheon speaker and General
William Odom the banquet speaker.
Since your section of the program covers cooperation between the
Intelligence Community and the academic community, you may wish to note that
AFIO has an active Academic Assistance Program of providing books to
professors who teach courses related to intelligence. At present AFIO is in
contact with 100 professors and have sent the following books to them:
George C. Constantinides's Intelligence and Espionage :
An Analytical Bibliography, Scott Breckinridge s The CIA
and the intelligence a stem, and Bibliography n Soviet
me ence and Security Services by Raymond e. Rocca and
o n Dziak. The fourth book will be Breaking the Ring by
John Barron and is scheduled for distribution t s fall.

Dear Bob,
We are very pleased that you are able to accept AFIO's
invitation to address our National Convention on Saturday,
October 10, at 10:30 a.m. The Convention location this year is
at the Tysons Corner Sheraton Hotel at Route 7 and the Dulles
Access Road.
We would appreciate your addressing the topic similar to
the way you spoke to the Harvard faculty about the need for
cooperation between the Intelligence community and the
Academic community. AFIO has engaged in an active
Academic Assistance Program whereby we have provided 1
books to professors who teach courses related to intelligence.
At the present time we are in contact with 100 professors and
have sent three books: George C. Constantinides's
Intelligence and Espionage: An Analytical Bibliography, Scott
Breckinridge's The CIA and the U.S Intelligence System, and
Bibliography on Soviet Intelligence and Security Services by
Raymond G. Rocca and John J. Dziak. The fourth book will
be Breaking The Ring by John Barron. We hope that you
could have remarks of about 35 minutes.
We have asked one of our members who teaches a course at
Yale University, Robert R. Simmons, formerly the Staff
Director of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, to
offer some comments on the role of the professor teaching a
course on intelligence. After Rob has concluded his remarks
the two of your would respond to questions from the audience
and/or comments regarding the other speaker's views.

appreciate your taking the time to meet with us again.
If your time permits, please plan to stay for lunch. The guest
speaker will be General Richard Stilwell. You and Mrs.
Gates are also invited to join us at the Banquet on Saturday
evening.
If you have any questions, please call me at 790-0320.

RE: Speaking Invitation
AFIO Convention Banquet
Tysons Corner Sheraton Hotel
10 October 1987
Executive Director of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers
(AFIO) John Greaney has invited you to introduce President Reagan at the
convention banquet which will be held at the Tysons Corner Sheraton Hotel on
Saturday, October 10th. At this point the President's attendance is still
pending. If the President declines, Mr. Greaney has indicated that he wishes
to invite you to be the keynote speaker. I made a commitment on your behalf
for you to introduce the President, but made no promises for any other
participation. The theme of this year's conference will be a testimonial by
the Intelligence Community to the memory of Bill Casey. While I know you had
fond feelings for Bill Casey, I think this would not be an appropriate time
for you to address this group. I suggest that we look for a different
occasion for you to address AFIO. You will recall that you did speak to
AFIO's local chapter last December.
Since we do not have a firm invitation for you to be a keynote speaker, I
want to have your agreement on my recommendation so that we can deflect the
request. I would propose to tell AFIO that your heavy schedule in October
precludes another major address, but that we would try to arrange something
for a later date.
An invitation to Bob Gates to speak during the AFIO convention is under
consideration. I am going to recommlid that he accept the invitation.

Mr. John Koehler
Assistant to the President and
Director of Communications
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Jack,
March 5, 1987
Congratulations on your appointment as Assistant to
the President and Director of Communications. It is nice
to have another AFIO Life member make it to The White
House.- You may wish to comment to the Vice President that
you are both Life members of AFIO.
The AFIO National Convention will be held on Friday
and Saturday, October 9 and 10, 1987, at the Sheraton
Hotel, Tysons Corner, Virginia. We would be very-honored if the President and Mrs. Reagan could find time to visit
our convention and hopefully, have time to give a few re-
marks about his work in Intelligence.
?
Our first choice would be to ask Mr. Reagan to speak at
the banquet on Saturday night, 10 October. This banquet has
traditionally been attended by the heads of the components of
Intelligence Community, both civilian and military. The
ballroom at the Sheraton Tyson has a capacity of 1,000 and I
am sure the entire Intelligence Community would welcome an
encouraging address by the President.
If the President's schedule would not permit Saturday, we
would be happy to adjust the convention schedule to meet his
availability which could include changing the banquet to Friday
night or addressing our group at either the Friday or Saturday
luncheon.
I am pleased you are interested in exploring this
proposal and, in looking ahead, this may be an appropriate time
to give a bit of encouragement to the Intelligence Community.
We in AFIO would like to help. I look forward to hearing from
you.
Sincerely,
K. Greaney
