MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM Angus MacLean Thuermer
Assistant to the Director
SUBJECT Public Relation Visits to CIA and a
CIA Museum
Intermittently, during past years, there have been.
suggestions that we have a CIA museum. The National Security
Agency has one, as does the Pentagon. We have a collection
of material that would be of interest to both Agency folk
and visitors.
Similarly, through the years, we have had inquiries
from the public about visiting the Agency. Hitherto, we
have not been able to oblige such persons on security
grounds, or have we had any "show F, tell" exhibit for them.
Student groups particularly have wanted to visit us as they
do the FBI. Although we obviously can't have an open FBI-
type visitors' program, perhaps some middle ground is avail-
able.
With the reshuffling of space in connection with the
IC Staff move, there might be some spare corner for a
museum. Space near the Bubble would be good. Those who
come to attend briefings or "Presidential Classroom"
lectures there could be brought up to look at our intelligence
museum without trotting them through the whole building.
If this interests you -- and I hope it does -- you
might want the Management Committee to look into it.
