McNAIR WASHINGTON, D. C. 20319 IADC-GSB 13 FEB i980 Admiral Stansfield Turner, USN (Ret.) Director of Central Intelligence Central Intelligence Agency Washington, D.C. 20505 Dear Admiral Turner: It is a very great pleasure to invite you or your representative to address the students and faculty of the Inter-American Defense College on the morning of 14 April 1980. Your acceptance would both honor this institution and contribute substantially to the reali- zation of our academic goals. Our program of special presentations for which you are invited is the concluding phase of a nine month in- tensive, interdisciplinary program. Our students will have completed studies in the basic tenets of economics, sociology, and the political and military sciences, and they will have reviewed and debated the crucial issues that confront our world and, particularly, the Western Hemisphere. They are unanimously interested in hearing a description of the U.S. intelligence community and the role of the Director of Central Intelligence in the formulation and execution of national policy, and a sur- vey of current prospects for the national intelligence effort, especially with regard to congressional over- sight. Approved For Release 2009/06/18: CIA-RDP05T00644R000401140044-7 Approved For Release 2009/06/18: CIA-RDP05T00644R000401140044-7 IADC-GSB Admiral Stansfield Turner, USN (Ret.) As you may already know, the program of instruction at the Inter-American Defense College is designed to en- hance the professional education of carefully selected senior military officers and civilian officials from the member nations of the OAS in order to prepare them to carry out undertakings requiring international coopera- tion. To fulfill its academic objectives, the College relies heavily upon distinguished guest speakers and sem- inar consultants. During the past year, our program of studies included presentations by the Honorable Alejandro Orfila, Secretary General of the OAS, Dr. Raul Prebisch, Governor W. Averell Harriman, and more than one hundred other internationally-known figures from business, govern- ment, and the academic world. Since its beginning in 1962, the College has gradu- ated 691 students who have represented, in the various classes, thirteen to eighteen countries of the hemisphere. More than one-third of our Latin American graduates have been promoted to the Flag/General grade or have served their governments in comparable civilian policy-making positions. Several of our graduates currently hold influential offices such as Minister, Ambassador, Chief of the Armed Forces, and Chief of Service in Latin America. We have every reason to expect that this year's students will also be promoted or appointed to high positions of authority in their governments. If it should be inconvenient for you to accept our invitation personally, your representative would be warmly welcome. Members of my staff have already spoken with Agency public aff and have learned, for example, that of the Resource Man- agement Staff, is an exceptionally able and frequent speaker on these and related topics. Whatever your decision, the address would be inter- preted simultaneously into Spanish and Portuguese, although all students and faculty understand English to some degree. If you approved, we would plan a short question-and-answer period after the formal presentation, and in both cases your expression would be considered privileged. Approved For Release 2009/06/18: CIA-RDP05T00644R000401140044-7 Approved For Release 2009/06/18: CIA-RDP05T00644R000401140044-7 IADC-GSB Admiral Stansfield Turner, USN (Ret.) I would also be delighted to host a luncheon in your honor at the conclusion of the morning session. Should you or any member of your staff have any ques- tions or need additional information, please contact me at 693-8215. Sincerely, ROBERT C. CONOLLY II Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy Director Approved For Release 2009/06/18: CIA-RDP05T00644R000401140044-7
