Mr. Loring E. Hart, President

Dear President Hart,
Thank you for your letter of May 5 and your kind
invitation to Admiral Turner to attend the annual meeting
of the Remote Sensing Group of Northern New England.
I regret that due to heavy commitments it will not
be possible for Admiral Turner to accept. But he appreciates
your consideration in issuing the invitation.
We also regret that will not be able to
address this conference. We would, however, make
available to give a briefing to the students at Norwich
University on aerial photography, maps, charts, and CIA career
opportunities if this is desirable. This would be similar to the
presentation given at the Herbert H. Lehman College at the
City University in New York, to which you refer. We will
ask the component concerned to contact you in this respect.
Thank you again for your invitation.
Sincerely,
Assistant or ans rograms

is the birthplace of the Reserve Officer Training Corps Pro-
gram. Our Corps of Cadets numbers 986 men and women at present,
with enrollment. on the upswing for next year. Our graduates
have served with distinction in all branches of the Armed Forces
as well as in business, industry and government. Generals Ernest
.Harmon, USA and Barksdale Hamlett, USA, have served as Presidents
of Norwich. Recent Commencement speakers have been Bob Hope,
Chesterfield Smith (at that time the President of the American
Bar Association) and General John P. Flynn, USAF. This year,
General Samuel Jaskilka, Assistant Commandant of the Marine
Corps, will be our commissioning speaker and Mr. Jerald terHorst
of the Detroit News will be our Commencement speaker. This year
we will commission 37 Army Officers, 31 Air Force Officers and 5
Marine Officers.
While we recognize this may be a little early to give us a
firm acceptance, we would be grateful if you could at least ten-
tatively accept now and firm up by mid-summer. It would also be

Dear Admiral Turner:
On 16-17 September 1977, the Remote Sensing Group of
Northern New England will conduct its annual meeting on our
campus. This group is comprised of distinguished scholars,
state government officials and regional industrial represen-
tatives.
We would like to invite you to be the guest of the Uni-
versity for all or a portion of the meeting. We believe you
would find this a congenial forum for delineating the positive
contributions by the CIA toward the goals of mutual concern
to all in attendance. We also understand that an unclassified
briefing is available by the National Photographic Interpreta-
tion Center on satellite photography and remot ing which
would certainly fit in well with the roaram. has informe
