4"A claims for compensatory time accumulated as uncompensated overtime in Vietnam prior
to 12 January 1969. Heretofore such credits were regarded as forfeited unless the

c. Eminent Speakers Program. Mr. Colby has approved a proposal by DTR to
develop a series of lectures by distinguished speakers in several fields. These will

hours. A notice will be issued.
d. Agency Image. The Office of Training and the Office of Personnel have both
reported that the A enc 's image throughout the country seems to be improving. Our
recruiter in the reports that he has had a substantial number of
phone calls from people indicating that they were favorably impressed by Mr. Helms'
testimony at the Watergate hearings. This includes one professor who has been an out-
spoken critic of the Agency and who told Bill that perhaps he should reassess his views.
The Director of Training, in visiting the West Coast, was told by a major university that
the campus attitudes toward the Agency have taken a complete about-face.
