II. OTHER ACTIVITIES
1. FSI has done it again! Mr. John Hoover, director of the
Senior Officer's Course, called me yesterday to request a lecture in
January. Being flattered by the invitation I glibly replied that I
would be pleased to address the group and asked him what subject he
had in mind. The answer was "Communist Instrumentalities," and when
I pursued the subject a bit further trying to determine what he meant
by this term - the reply was "I'll let you decide what is meant by
the term and what you'll talk about!" The life of a course director
in FBI must really be a relaxing experience.
2. I had another call yesterday which was equally strange, this
one from Paul Taylor, the State man who is Chief of the Political
Affairs Department at NWC. He was seeking suggestions for someone
who could lecture on "The Historical Antecedents of Russian Communism"
- someone with a prominent name. The strangeness of this request
stems from the fact that the State man who replaced Boris Klosson,
and who works for Taylor at NWC, was Chief of State's research area
in the Soviet field and should be much more familiar than we are
with the "names" in this field - plus the fact that Bernie Morris,
Chief of S=tate's International Communism Staff, teaches at American
University in the Russian field. I am, of course, flattered that
these people think of SIC, but I continue to be amazed at the monu-
mental lack of information and planning which seems to characterize
State's activities in the training field.
3. I am afraid that and her Staff may feel that
we in SIC have been dragging our feet on the matter of completing a
Communist handbook. I'd like to assure you that this is not the
case, that we have accepted the full responsibility, but that this
job, in order to be done properly, is necessarily a long and rather
tedious one. I am coordinating the effort myself and have indicated
to Virginia that we will have a complete rough draft in her hands by
