Address of Allen W. Dulles, lawyer, former Director of C. I. A., Washington, D. C. Before the Third Session of the Assembly, American Bar Association, California Masonic Memorial Temple, San Francisco "An Analysis of Communist Techniques for Conquest" The honor of addressing the American Bar Association today carries with it for me a special personal satisfaction. The law was my chosen profession, and I find it good to be here with you and back at the law again after another long stint of Government service. I speak now as a private citizen. I have been away from my official duties sufficiently long to have no claim to any current inside informa- tion In any event, nothing ages more quickly than a secret in the fast moving world of today. Intelligence work seems to exercise a strong attraction for lawyers. It was an eminent member of the Bar and of this Association, the late William J. Donovan, who drew me into the field early in the Second World War. "Wild Bill" Donovan was quite a man. As a citizen sol4:er, he won the Medal of Honor for his gallantry in the trench warfare of the First World War; in the Second, with the rank of Major General, he organized and led the Office of Strategic Services.
