De Borchgrave, Noted Journalist
To Talk At Dec. 7 Lunch
Arnaud deBorchgrave, noted author and journal-
ist, will be AFIO's National Headquarters' guest speaker
on December 7, 1983 at the Bolling Air Force Base
Officers Club. DeBorchgrave, former senior corres-
pondent for Newsweek magazine, is co-author of the
The Spike and more recently the best-selling Monimbo',
a story of Soviet/Cuban machinations in Latin Amer-
ica. He is known as one of Washington's top experts in
Soviet subversion and covert action operations (the lat-
ter in Moscow's language is called "active measures").
Flyers are being mailed separately to AFIO mem-
bers in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia,
giving details on the luncheon and a map enabling
members to reach Bolling base from all directions.
Cost of the luncheon is $10. per person. Members are
encouraged to bring guests. Reservations and pay-
ments for the lunch must reach AFIO national head-
quarters on or before November 28. Early replies are
solicited because we expect a capacity crowd at the
luncheon.
AFIO's 9th annual convention was held on
October 14-15 at the Holiday Inn on the Embar-
cadero in San Diego, against a backdrop of the
magnificent, boat-filled harbor of that handsome
city. Approximately 200 AFIO and their wives
attended Convention '83 representing most of
AFIO's 20 chapters and coming from all corners of
the country.
Opened by Lee E. Echols, general chairman of
Convention '83, the convention attendants heard
remarks from AFIO President, Major-General Richard X.
Larkin, USA(Ret). Presentation of the colors by a U.S.
Marine Corps team preceded the discussion panels.
Discussion Panels
With the convention theme of "A Strong U.S.
Intelligence Community is Every American's Respon-
sibility," two panels of experts absorbed the delegate's
interest on October 14.
The morning session featured a panel discussion
of "Technology Transfer" between General Richard G.
Stilwell, USA(Ret) and Henry E. Hockeimer, President
of Ford Aerospace and Communications Corp. Part of
this fascinating topic, which involves stealing of U.S.
high technology secrets by the Soviet block by hook-or-
by-crook was a 20-minute film on this theme originally
shown on the "American Interests" television program
and shown to the delegates on a large video screen.
The afternoon session, on the theme of the need
for closer cooperation between the intelligence and
academic communities featured two well-known edu-
cators from universities in the San Diego area. [Full
accounts of these panel discussions may be read
elsewhere in this issue.]
General Stilwell, as luncheon speaker on October
14, gave an international tour of the horizon from the
standpoint of U.S. foreign policy. Luncheon speaker on
October 15 was AFIO President Larkin who delivered a

Four Resolutions, One By-Law Amendment At Convention '83
Four resolutions and one amendment to AFIO by-laws were approved on October 15, 1983 during the
business session of Convention '83. They are as follows:
Resolution on Intelligence
Legislation
WHEREAS existing law is inadequate to deter unauthorized
disclosures of sensitive intelligence information, sources and
methods, and to punish those who make such disclosures; and
WHEREAS the effectiveness of the intelligence effort is
impaired by the inadequacy of existing law;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association
of Former Intelligence Officers in convention assembled on
October 15, 1983 call upon the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence to initiate legislation to amend and update existing
law to deter and punish unauthorized disclosures of sensitive
intelligence information. The Administration is also urged to take
similar action.
Resolution on Freedom of
Information Act
WHEREAS since 1971 over 1100 "Bivins" lawsuits, many
with multiple defendants totaling 7500-10,000 employees, have
been filed, and less than 20 have resulted in money judgments;
WHEREAS in publicly supporting proposed amendments to
the Act the Department of Justice has declared the majority of
these suits to be trivial and vindictive; and
WHEREAS the current legislation has a chilling and stifling
effect on employees of the Congress, regulatory agencies, inves-
tigative agencies and other Government bodies under its provi-
sions; and
WHEREAS the proposed legislative amendments would not
remove a citizen's legal recourse if wronged by the Government
but would curb harassing actions, increase legitimate plaintiff's
recoveries by encouraging settlements by the Government, and
reduce the Government's litigation costs;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association
of Former Intelligence Officers in convention assembled on
October 15, 1983 urges the Congress to pass S.775 (Article 13
of S.829) which will make the Federal Government the sole
party defendant instead of the individual employee in such suits.
Resolution on MIA/POW
WHEREAS the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as applied
to the Intelligence Community has seriously impaired the effec-
tiveness of intelligence efforts; and
WHEREAS the Freedom of Information Act has created
substantial monetary burdens and diversion of senior officer
skills in the Intelligence Community; and
WHEREAS the inability of intelligence agencies to assure
sources, whether human, governmental, or institutional, both
foreign and domestic, that the agencies can fully protect identi-
ties and sensitive information from exposure under the Freedom
of Information Act, causing a substantial reduction of coopera-
tion and the loss of many sources; and
WHEREAS the basic purposes of the Freedom of Informa-
tion Act can be fulfilled on behalf of historians and scholars
through the declassification provisions of Executive Order 12365;
and
WHEREAS those desiring knowledge of files kept on them-
selves may make application under the provisions of the Privacy
Act; and
WHEREAS representatives of the Intelligence Community
and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers testified in
June 1983 before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
on S.1324, which provides some relief for CIA from the onerous
requirements of FOIA, with the Assocation of Former Intelli-
gence Officers urging the Committee to provide additional relief
by exempting CIA and other intelligence entities from FOIA;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association
of Former Intelligence Officers in convention assembled on
October 15, 1983 press upon the Congress the urgency of acting
upon S.1324 and providing relief from the Freedom of Informa-
tion Act for all entities of the United States Intelligence
Community.
Resolution on Amendments
to Federal Tort Claims Act
WHEREAS the Federal Tort Claims Act, since the 1971
Supreme Court decision in Bivins vs. Six Unknown Narcotics
Agents, now makes government employees personally liable
instead of the government for actions taken in good faith within
the scope of their authority and duty; and
WHEREAS the President of the United States has reaffirmed
the promise of the American people to their military forces to be
cared for and accounted for in battle; and
WHEREAS full and complete information concerning pri-
soners of war, military and civilian personnel missing in action,
and the remains of American personnel participating in the
Vietnam War has not been made available to the United States
Government; and
WHEREAS such lack of accounting continues to cause
mental anguish and deep concern to relatives and to all Ameri-
cans; and
WHEREAS principles of international law and simple
humanitarian concepts demand that such information be made
available;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association
of Former Intelligence Officers in convention assembled on
October 15, 1983 urges continuing high priority efforts of the
Intelligence Community to collect accurate information concern-
ing the remains of military and civilian personnel missing in
Southeast Asia and the location of any such personnel still
detained against their wills in Southeast Asia, and further urges
the United States Government to take action on this intelligence.

9th AFIO Convention Stresses Strong Intelligence Need
fascinating "verbatim account" of a putative Politburo
meeting which stressed Soviet successes with covert
action and Soviet cynicism in its moves against the
west.
Convention Business and Voting
Reports from AFIO's chapters occupied much of
the October 15 morning session. (These are gisted
elsewhere in this issue of Periscope.) Voting for resolu-
tions and a change in AFIO's by-laws were also
achieved in this session. (Full texts of these appear on
page 2 of this issue.) W. Ray Wannall, chairman of the
board of directors, announced that the board had
invited the well-known author and editor, John Barron,
to join AFIO's Honorary Board of Directors.
Voting for members to the board of directors
occurred before the October 15 luncheon. Of the four
directors elected by the Convention delegates, and
including proxy votes sent to the board, two were re-
elected: David Atlee Phillips, AFIO founder and past
president, and Lyman Kirkpatrick, former Executive
Director of CIA. The two new directors elected are Ann
Caracristi, former deputy director of NSA, and John
Anson Smith, former MI officer currently in Naples,
Florida, Mr. Smith has been a key figure in promoting
the intelligence syposium now occurring annually in
Naples, Florida at which AFIO officers have been prin-
cipal speakers and panelists.
A.I.M. Founder Speaks
At the October 15 afternoon session, Reed Irvine,
founder of A.I.M. (Accuracy in Media), the organization
and periodical which keeps tabs on bias in U.S. dailies
and television, was guest speaker. He commented on
the hostility of U.S. media in general to the Reagan
administration and alluded to the rapid erosion of
world sentiment against the USSR in the case of the
massacre of Korean airlines flight 007 last September
1. He stated that A.I.M. has been concentrating on
sensitizing the public to unfair coment and bias by the
major TV networks, of which, he said, CBS is the worst
in terms of its anti-administration slant.
The final event of Convention '83 was the October
15 banquet, preceded by an extremely colorf ul dance
program by a local youthful Filipino troupe. Former FBI
director Clarence M. Kelley, the banquet speaker, gave
a trenchant and applauded speech on the need for
vigilance and a professional intelligence organization
in the U.S. He recounted his first encounters with FBI
counter-intelligence and his growing admiration for
their work. Board chairman Wannall who introduced
Mr Kelley in turn spoke glowingly of Kelley's full sup-
port of counter-intelligence adctivities as FBI director
when Wannall himself was supervising that activity in
the Bureau.
Convention '83 was flawlessly planned and run
off by AFIO's San Diego chapter under general guid-
ance from Chairman Echols. The unanimous consen-
sus of the out-of-town delegates was extremely
laudatory of the behind-the-scenes work which enabled
a successful and smoothly organized convention in
both a social and professional sense.

President Reagan Personally
Awards Medal to Dick Helms
The many AFIO admirers of former CIA Director,
and former Ambassador to Iran, Richard M. Helms, will
be pleased to hear that he was presented the National
Security Medal on October 20 at the White House by
President Reagan personally. The White House an-
nouncement took note of the "exceptionally meritor-
ious service" of Mr Helms in the service of his country.
Helms already has received CIA's Distinguished
Intelligence Medal. The National Security Medal to
date has been awarded to approximately two dozen
government employees since its creation.
Helms, now 70 years old, was CIA director from
1967 to 1973. He currently serves as a member of the
prestigious Scowcroft Commission of distinguished
Americans which counsels the President in new
nuclear arms programs and weapons systems. He is
an international business consultant in Washington
D.C.

On the Intelligence Bookshelf .. .
Current books of interest to intelligence buffs and
watchers of the world scene. All reviews are by AFIO
members except when otherwise noted.
Intelligence From Down Under
Sub Rosa, Memoirs of an Australian Intelligence Ana-
lyst, by R. H. Mathams. Published by George Allen &
Unwin, 1982.
At a dinner with entertainment staged by the U.S.
Air Force some years ago, the master of ceremonies
told a story which this reviewer found especially amus-
ing: An officer had been reprimanded because he had
been detailed to the DIA "and he refused to take it like
a manl"
This social comment, and a number of others less
fit to print, came to mind when Mathams, a retired
senior Australian intelligence official, professed that
he initially "shared the cynical view of some of my
brother officers that the way to become an intelligence
officer was to demonstrate that one had no aptitude for
any other aspect of soldiering." Many other events,
considerations and conclusions recited in this book will
evoke nods of agreement or smiles of recognition by
present and former practitioners of the intelligence
game hereabouts. Often the difference between the
author's observations and ours is a matter of scope
and description: his humor is more gentle and his lan-
guage more genteel than what this reviewer recalls
hearing in the American environment. And his frame-
work is, of course, much smaller.
Intelligence Analyst and Patriot
A few things need to be understood at the outset.
For one, Matham has come out of his long and distin-
guished career as a proud, even if at times critical,
intelligence protagonist, and as an Australian patriot.
He made his way in the analytical field-science and
technology, to be exact-and his book does not deal
with intelligence collection except in the most cursory
way. ("Procurement," the initial term, was dropped as
overly suggestive, he informs us.) Within his chosen
framework, he dwells with remarkable frankness on
experiences, disappointments, insufficiencies, errors,
friction, goals and priorities. And although he is clearly
aware that his book will be read abroad, his eyes are
fixed on the Australian public and its leaders who, he
believes, need his counsel and will benefit from it.
As behooves someone who has cultivated a highly
methodical approach to his craft, Mathams starts out
by defining terms and stating principles. He draws a
sharp line between analysis and operations, explains
operational activities in rather narrow terms, and holds
that intelligence analysts have been unjustly contami-
nated by being lumped with operators and security
officers as intelligence personnel. For a man of broad
experience, he commits a surprising error: the Ameri-
can CIA, he declares, is "unique" in taking responsibil-
ity for both analysis and collection. But his look at his
own activity, foreign intelligence analysis, is sharp and
unwavering: the analytical establishment is vital to the
nation, must be staffed by professionals rather than
officers detached from other units, is better suited to
the assessment of long-range capabilities than the
divination of intentions or the prediction of specific
events, can go astray by forgetting that thought pro-
cesses vary in different societies, and can help policy-
makers best if the analysts are kept advised of policy
initiatives. He recognizes proximity to policy levels as a
mixed blessing: while it places analysts in an influen-
tial position, it tends to divert them from dispassionate
research to a more hazardous preoccupation with
short-range fluctuations. These and other issues raised
by Mathams illustrate the intellectual challenges he
has accepted in writing his book. Many readers with
intelligence experience will frequently have different
answers, but few will have failed to ask the same
questions.
Mathams takes us through the late fifties and
early sixties, when the changing strategic scene pro-
pelled Australian intelligence into a more significant
role: there was the Sino-Soviet split, first diagnosed by
an Australian analyst; the Chinese nuclear tests;
Indonesia's increasing truculence; the domino theory,
raising the specter of Communist domination of South-
east Asia; and Australian combat commitments under
the SEATO pact. While Australia could not match its
major allies-notably the U.S. and Great Britain-in
terms of intelligence resources, it held its own in pro-
ducing top-quality analyses, particularly on the Chi-
nese People's Republic. Australia was, in turn, im-
pressed by the quality of its allies' analyses of the
Soviet Union, and gradually decided that it could make
its best contribution by concentrating efforts in its own
neighborhood. In 1966, the enhanced standing of Aus-
tralian intelligence in its own country was certified by
the establishment of a national intelligence organiza-
tion designed to deal with matters of strategic concern.
The author intersperses his book with anecdotes
that make for amusing reading. There was the time
when a search for Japanese writing produced a heavy
log with directions to the officers' latrine. On another
occasion, a huge loudspeaker, blasting antiJapanese
propaganda from the Australian front line, was silenced
by small arms fire: "It was never determined whether
the fire was enemy or ours." And Mathams' qualifica-
tions for intelligence work became clear to his com-
mander when Mathams drew a spiral around a sand
hill, thus demonstrating that he knew how a mountain
road should look. Despite some light touches, the book
does not qualify as easy reading material. Those inter-
ested in exploring and comparing organizational and
conceptual approaches to intelligence analysis will find
Sub Rosa informative and thought-provoking, and the
book should be a significant contribution to the intelli-
gence debate in Mathams' own country. It was obviously
not designed for the literary mass market here.

Panels Focus On Theft of U.S. Technology
And Intelligence-Academic Repprochement
Two Convention '83 panels on October 14 at San
Diego played on themes of vital interest to delegates
and to the intelligence community: that of high tech-
nology drain to the Soviet bloc, and the need for closer
cooperation between the U.S. intelligence and aca-
demic communities.
The morning session on U.S. high technology
thefts and acquisitions by the Soviet bloc comprised
General Stilwell, currently the Defense Department's
Deputy UnderSecretary for Policy, and Mr. Henry E.
Hockeimer, president of Ford Aerospace and Commun-
ications Corporation. Stilwell emphasized that the
Soviets are 80 percent dependent on U.S. technology
and research and development. Their success in
acquiring U.S. technology secrets, he said, forces the
U.S. to spend additional billions in achieving new
technology to compensate that stolen or otherwise
acquired by the USSR. About 90 percent of U.S. tech-
nology, Stilwell said, is acquired legally by the USSR by
a variety of means: from overt U.S. technical periodi-
cals and publications, loose talk, the U.S. patent office
and the automated data base arena available to the
Soviets.
Soviet Theft of US Secrets
The Soviet bloc also uses illegal methods, he said,
including foreign dummy corporations, front organiza-
tions, false points of destination, and actual espionage,
thus saving the Soviets hundreds of millions of dollars
annually and years of work in research efforts. Soviet
acquisition of U.S. sensitive technology has cut the U.S.
lead-time in superiority in these areas from 10 to two
years and gives the Soviets the opportunity to develop
counter-measures quickly and cheaply.
Hockeimer emphasized that U.S. industry has long
been aware that advanced U.S. technology was flowing
abroad, including its military application by the USSR.
He posed the difficult question of how the U.S. can
curtail the acquisition of technology by foreigners,
including the Soviets, and yet maintain U.S. industrial
profitability. He reminded his audience that 20 percent
of U.S. technology is exported and that $15 billion in
air-space technology alone is exported annually. He
further noted that much U.S. technology is duplicated
elsewhere in the west and that if the U.S. does not sell
it to the Soviets, other western nations will.
Although U.S. industry supports some controls
over technological transfers to support and strengthen
our allies and to support U.S. foreign policy, a balance
must be struck, Hockeimer said, between national
interests and the need for U.S. industry to remain
profitable and competitive. As for controls over high
technology, Hockeimer supports practical limits by
denying to the Soviets only the "leading edge technol-
ogy" which is vital to U.S. national interests, rather
than the 100,000 items listed as deniable in U.S.
commodity controls, which is impractical for the U.S.
to follow.

ogy. L to R, General Richard G. Stilwell(Ret) and

Panel on Intelligence And Academia
The afternoon panel on October 14, chaired by
Lt-Gen Eugene F. Tighe, Jr. USAF(Ret), and a member
of AFIO's board of directors, comprised Father Paul
Goda, a Jesuit teacher at California's Santa Clara Uni-
versity, and Prof. Richard Gripp, of the political science
department at San Diego State University and himself
formerly with CIA for five years. Goda professed him-
self pulled in several directions concerning intelligence,
as a man of Hungarian parentage, a former U.S. mil-
itary intelligence officer, a priest, and a teacher.
Prof. Gripp pointed out the anomalies between
academic and intelligence communities and stated
that the former should be "totally free" to come to any
conclusion it reaches in international research. (This
statement was vigorously challenged from the floor).
Gripp also noted the danger of "contamination" of the
academic community's bona fides by U.S. intelligence
agents using scientific cover. A delegate responded
from the floor that in many regions of the world, any
American researcher or professional man is imme-
diately and automatically viewed as a U.S. intelligence
agent whether he is or not.

Chapter Heads Report
At San Diego Convention
At Convention '83 in San Diego last October 15,
the officers of 12 out of AFIO's 20 chapters reported on
the activities of their units. Following are gists of these
chapter reports:
Arizona, president John Matson reporting. The
distances which must be covered when the chapter's
26 members hold a meeting are enormous, a factor
cheer-fully undertaken by many chapter members. For
example, it is eight hours driving time between east
and west Arizona. Wives of chapter members are
essential to the activity of the unit. The chapter has
gained good member interest by arranging for good
speakers on such topics as Afghanistan, covert terror-
ism in the U.S. etc.
California
San Diego Chapter, president Quinn Matthewson
reporting. This chapter was host for Convention '83
and did an unusually fine job in making all convention
arrangements. It is one of AFIO's largest chapters with
126 members, a monthly newsletter, monthly meet-
ings with attendance from 60 to 120 members, and a
speakers program in which chapter members have this
year made more than 70 public talks, TV and radio
appearances, etc. a large number of these by member
Lee Echols personally.
Orange County Chapter, president Howard Furst.
This is a small chapter, with about 20 members. Its
meeting sites are a problem but the group retains its
small but closely-knit camaraderie.
San Francisco Chapter, president-emeritus Brig-
Gen. James Boswell, USA(Ret) reporting. This chapter,
founded five years ago, has monthly meetings despite
lengthy distances for its members travel. Its 80
members represent a drop of about 15 percent over
the year before. Its president, Margaret Rudduck, re-
signed recently because of serious illness. Its members,
especially Prof Al Buckelew and Roger McCarthy, give
about 100 speeches a year to local groups on the KGB,
the activity of CIA etc.
Palm Beach Chapter (formerly Southeast Chap-
ter), Stan Phillips reporting. This is a small chapter
with about 20 members and to date has little activity
although plans are in store to vivify its membership.
Southwest Chapter, president Don Randell re-
porting. This chapter is involved in the now-annual
Intelligence Symposium occurring in Naples, Florida,
with the Naples Daily News as a co-sponsor. Its
members are active in letter-writing to newspapers on
intelligence topics. Randall urged "cross-pollinization"
of activity among the Florida chapters.
Florida Suncoast Chapter, vice-president Andy
Ferguson reporting. He stated the chapter had 63
members and had elected Keith McPhee as its new
president. This chapter encompasses the Tampa-St
Petersburg area and has published its own chapter
membership directory.
Illinois
Greater Chicago Chapter, Tom Mackie, secretary-
treasurer, reporting. One of its better known members
is Richard Dunlop, author of the recent book "Donovan-
America's master spy." The chapter has difficulty in
finding younger members in the Chicago area. It
makes good use of AFIO brochures and the first AFIO
monograph in the education series.

Chapter Head Reports
(continued from page 6)
Montana Chapter, Richard Grant reporting. This
small (15 members) chapter, like Arizona, has a dis-
tance factor to cope with; its members must travel, on
the average, 800 miles round trip to attend chapter
meetings, of which there are four annually. Its members
however, have been effective in giving many talks to
high school and university students on the USSR, and
is looking for effective guest lecturers. One of its chap-
ter members, Bob Ripley, is running for Congress in
Montana in 1984.

ments before local groups, mainly by two of its
members, Fred Lewton and William Henschel.
Gulf Coast Chapter, president Fred Rodell report-
ing. This chapter of 50 members, with its live-wire
president, desires to host the 1984 AFIO Convention, a

Editor's note: We erroneously reported in our last
issue that member Walter A. Marshall of Nashua, NH
had died. Mr. Marshall is very definitely alive; a person
with the same first and last name died in Nashua and a
friend of Marshall's family mistakenly reported the
death of our AFIO member to national headquarters.
We deeply regret this error and wish our Mr. Marshall
the best health, longevity, and a lower golf handicap.

Notes from National
Dues Payments: Since there appears to be some
continuing confusion among AFIO members concern-
ing payment of annual dues, we would like to explain
our system again: Annual national dues are twenty-
five dollars, which entitles a member to 12 months
membership. We do not run our dues-system on a
calendar-year basis. On the first of the month in which
a member's dues expire, national headquarters sends
a self-addressed dues-payment envelope via first-class
mail to the member's last known address. If payment is
not received during that month, a second notice is sent
at the beginning of the next month.
Life Membership: One way to end payment of
annual dues is to sign up as an AFIO Life Member, for
$250. This is a one-time payment. Remember that
AFIO dues are tax-deductible because AFIO is an IRS
501(c)(3) organization.
Changes of Address: AFIO's new membership
directory will be printed in January 1984. All changes
of address must be received at national headquarters
no later than December 31, 1983 in order to be
included in the directory. The new directory will be
mailed to members together with the Periscope issue
of February 1984. We must have apartment numbers
for those members who live in multi-family buildings.
Lapel Pins and Decals: We have a supply of AFIO
lapel pins which will be mailed to members upon
receipt of five dollars each. AFIO decals may be pur-
chased at one dollar each, pre-paid.
Speakers' Kits: The kits were prepared two years
ago but are still very timely and useful as background
material in preparing speeches and talks. These kits
will be mailed after receipt of five dollars each.

ARISING FROM CASH TRANSACTIONS
Dave Phillips, organizer at "Challenge" Group
'Challenge' Organization
Fights Media Slander
Challenge, Inc., an organization created in 1980
by AFIO founder David A. Phillips to provide financial
assistance for government employees, active and
retired, attempting to seek redress for slander or libel
committed against them in the performance of their
official duties, is reporting progress in achieving its
aims.
The organization, whose president is Richard H.
Lansdale and whose advisors include General Richard
G. Stilwell, USA(Ret), former Senator James Buckley,
former CIA director Bill Colby, former astronaut Michael
Collins, and other distinguished former intelligence
officials, has received contributions to date from more
than 600 supporters.
Phillips is currently engaged in two costly suits
against persons who allegedly defamed him in publica-
tions in connection with the murders of President
John F. Kennedy and former Chilean ambassador
Orlando Letelier. Challenge has also come to the aid of
former U.S. ambassador Nathaniel Davis, State Depart-
ment FSO Fred Purdy, and Captain Ray E. Davis,
USN(Ret). All three have filed a libel action against
persons responsible for the book "Missing" and the
movie of the same name which depict events in Chile
during and after the Allende regime in the early 1970s.
Challenge has also offered to assist retired U.S.
General William Westmoreland in his current libel suit
against CBS.
AFIO members interested in Challenge and in
supporting it should write to Challenge, Inc., Box

New AFIO Monographs
Now in Preparation
AFIO's educational program involving publication
of monographs on important intelligence themes was
launched last summer with the issuance of the first of
such workers, entitled "The Clandestine Service of the
Central Intelligence Agency" written by Hans Moses, a
retired senior officer of that Service and a veteran
AFIO member. Some thousands of this 30-page mono-
graph have been printed and wide interest in it has
been demonstrated by academic as well as profes-
sional circles.

From the President's Desk:
Hats off to the San Diego chapter, its members
and wives, for their warm and complete hospitality and
for the superb organizational work they did to make the
'83 Convention a great success. All those in attend-
ance understand the work and worry the chapter went
through; all of us appreciate it, and we congratulate
you.
As I was a year ago, I am awed at the Board's
decision that I should serve as President for a second
year. While I challenge the wisdom of a suposedly
"intelligent" Board in their choice, I'll do my best to
protect their reputations.
Much was accomplished at the Convention and
much was laid out to do. I am deeply impressed by the
earnest participation of our members, many of whom
offered suggestions which we will consider: forming
small advisory clusters to help U.S. industry curb tech-
nology transfer to the Eastern Bloc; an installment
approach (over a one year period) to Life Membership;
balloting suggestions (many!); the need for a chapter
handbook, and many more. The spirit in which these
suggestions were made was refreshing. Where the
health of our Association is involved, no one is reticent!
Our guest speakers, too, helped lay out our work
for the coming year: to help our industry and govern-
ment stem the technology flow, to insist on accurate
and objective media reporting by voicing/penning our
objections to the advertisers, to continue to educate all
who will listen on the essentiality of good and timely
intelligence, as well as on the persistency of the threat,
and to counter by every possible means the Societ's
frantic and world-wide efforts to block NATO's inten-
tions to balance Moscow's SS-20 threat with Pershing
Its and cruise missiles, as well as the Kremlin's organ-
ized campaign for our unilateral nuclear disarmament.
Congratulations are due each of you for the efforts
you've made this past year. I ask you not to let up in the
coming year. Be assured that our adversary will not.
AFIO does need additional members, and each current
member is the most effective recruiter for new
members.

Convention '83
New AFIO Monographs
Now in Preparation
(continued from page 15)
The second AFIO monograph in its "Intelligence
Profession Series" will be "The First Amendment and
National Security", by John Warner, AFIO's legal
adviser and former CIA General Counsel. The third
monograph will be a history of Soviet intelligence, writ-
ten by Tom Polgar, a senior CIA officer until his retire-
ment. More precise schedules for publication of the
Warner and Polgar papers will be announced in our
next Periscope issue. Members who desire to receive
the initial monograph by Hans Moses should write to
AFIO national headquarters for a copy.
Convention '83 Panels
(continued from page 5)
John Warner, AFIO's legal counsellor, referred to
the need for courses in universities on intelligence, as
a means of changing academic misconceptions about
intelligence, a point with which both speakers agreed.
General Tighe mentioned the need to revive the
NIS' (National Intelligence Survey) which had been
eliminated by the intelligence community for budget
reasons in recent years. The NIS' provide maximum
knowledge on any given country or area in the world,
information which is essential to U.S. understanding,
