RECENT INTELLIGENCE EFFORTS 0 THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WAS A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE CONCLUSION OF THE INF TREATY. WE SUPPORTED THE U.S. Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 NEGOTIATING TEAM IN GENEVA AND PROVIDED INFORMATION TO BOTH CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION DURING THE RATIFICATION PROCESS. 0 IN A RELATED EFFORT, WE FURNISHED INTELLIGENCE TO POLICYMAKERS DURING THE U.S.-SOVIET SUMMIT MEETING IN MOSCOW THIS PAST JUNE. 0 CIA'S ANALYSIS OF THE IRAN-IRAQ CONFLICT HAS HIGHLIGHTED OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE AS WELL AS LONGER-TERM ASSESSMENTS. WHEN THE U.S. PRESENCE IN THE PERSIAN GULF WAS INCREASED, WE BEGAN PROVIDING DAILY SUPPORT TO NAVAL FORCES OPERATING WITH THE U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND. UPCOMING INTELLIGENCE ISSUES 0 SOME OF OUR RECENT INTELLIGENCE SUCCESSES SUGGEST THE NATURE OF TOMORROW'S INTELLIGENCE PROBLEMS.

CLEARLY, THE SOVIET UNION WILL REMAIN THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF OUR COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS. O ARMS CONTROL WILL REMAIN A MAJOR EFFORT, AS WE MONITOR THE INF TREATY AND SUPPORT NEGOTIATION OF THE START TREATY. 0 WORLD EVENTS HAVE HEIGHTENED THE IMPORTANCE OF OTHER INTELLIGENCE ISSUES -- THE PROLIFERATION OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE CAPABILITIES IN THE THIRD WORLD POSES A REAL THREAT TO WORLD PEACE, ESPECIALLY AS WE WITNESS A COINCIDENT PROLIFERATION OF MISSILE TECHNOLOGY. 0 WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, TO DEEP SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FORCES SUCH AS ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM. 3 L Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 0 GLOBAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS TERRORISM AND NARCOTICS POSE FURTHER CHALLENGES. TODAY'S TERRORISTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY AND ADVANCED ELECTRONICS, AND MANY OF THEM ALSO RECEIVE STATE SPONSORSHIP. THE GROWING INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS TRADE REPRESENTS MULTIPLE DANGERS. THE VIOLENCE IT PERPETRATES AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH IT CORRUPTS A NATION'S POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL ORDER MAKE IT AN ESPECIALLY SERIOUS AND DIFFICULT PROBLEM. THE VALUE OF PEOPLE 0 TO CARRY OUT OUR MISSION, WE OFTEN RELY ON HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED TECHNICAL SYSTEMS. O BUT OUR MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN -- AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE -- OUR PEOPLE. OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON ATTRACTING DEDICATED, TALENTED, AND HIGHLY SKILLED MEN AND WOMEN. 4 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 O WE NEED PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE THAN MERELY PROFICIENT IN THEIR FIELD -- WE NEED MATURITY, COMMITMENT, GOOD JUDGMENT, AND INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY. 0 THE MYTH IS THAT CIA HIRES ONLY CONSERVATIVES, OR ONLY LIBERALS, OR ONLY THOSE WHO AGREE WITH WHICHEVER ADMINISTRATION HAPPENS TO BE IN POWER. 0 IN REALITY, WE ENCOURAGE DEBATE, DISSENT, AND THE UNUSUAL VIEW. WE KNOW THAT OPENNESS AND OBJECTIVITY ARE ESSENTIAL IF WE ARE TO PRODUCE THE HIGH-QUALITY INTELLIGENCE THAT POLICYMAKERS REQUIRE. THE VALUE OF THIS SEMINAR 0 WE HAVE INVITED YOU HERE THIS WEEK BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE STUDENTS AT YOUR INSTITUTIONS REPRESENT OUR FUTURE. 0 THE MORE YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND MISSION, THE MORE INFORMED YOUR STUDENTS WILL BE ABOUT CIA'S VITAL ROLE IN ENSURING OUR NATION'S SECURITY. 5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 0 SO, I ENCOURAGE YOUR QUESTIONS NOW, AND I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY DURING THE REST OF YOUR TIME HERE TO INQUIRE AND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT US. 0 THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR RECENTLY PUBLISHED A FEATURE STORY ON_RENOWNED SOCIOLOGIST AND EDUCATOR DAVID RIESMAN. IN AN INTERVIEW FOR THE STORY, HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE OPPOSITION OF SOME FACULTY MEMBERS TO CIA RECRUITMENT EFFORTS ON CAMPUS. APPARENTLY RIESMAN DOESN'T SHARE THIS OPINION. "I WANT TO SEE MORE BRIGHT PEOPLE IN INTELLIGENCE GATHERING." HE SAID. "NOT LESS." 0 I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH DR. RIESMAN. AND I HOPE, AFTER YOUR TIME HERE, THAT YOU MAY ALSO. 6 L Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15 : CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570012-6 STAT STAT STAT STAT ??
