OLC 72-0340
15 March 1972
Honorable Barry M. Goldwater
United States Senate
Washington, D. C. 20510
Dear Senator Goldwater:
For some time the Agency has felt it would be desirable to
occasionally syphon off some of our more senior personnel from their
normal duties for the purpose of reacquainting them with some of the
problems and activities in Government which have at least an indirect
bearing on the operation of the Central Intelligence Agency and the
work that it does. To this end we have established the concept of a
Senior Seminar of about 20 members at the GS-15 and supergrade
level. During a period of nine weeks these people are exposed to
some of the top men in Government for lectures and discussions on
topics within their field of expertise.
We are particularly anxious to have these classes meet with
some of the most prominent, active, and knowledgable members of
the Congress to get a first-hand account of the major issues before
it and to understand some of the problems which members of the
Congress encounter. As a member of our CIA Subcommittee you are
also in a position to comment on CIA's relationship with the Congress
from that point of view.
We would be most grateful if you could meet with the second
such seminar for luncheon and a talk on the Hill on Wednesday,
19 April 1972. We would like you to talk about the workings and
problems of the Senate. Following your talk we would have a member
of the House speak from the standpoint of a House member.

I have mentioned our interest in having you talk with this
group to Mr. Killgore of your staff. If you are available, we
will be in touch with him to make specific arrangements.
Since rely,
eputy Legislative Counse
