OFFICE OF THE COMMANDANT

NOV 2 2 1965
It is my pleasure to inform you that a quota of four
students has been allocated to the Central Intelligence Agency for
the course of instruction at The National War College commencing
in mid-August 1966.
The career civilians in the Central Intelligence Agency
have added much to the wide variety of experience and future
potential reflected in our highly selected student body. It has
been a pleasure to have had them in the past and I look forward to
having them in the next year's class. I am confident that the fine
course at The National War College will be of great value to them
and to our government during their years of service in the future.
I enclose a short guide concerning administrative details.
Sincerely,
FI;PZHUGWLEE
