"Day at Langley. " In his opinion the sessions were generally effective,
but he did point out some minor difficulties with luncheon arrangements
and the tours. Subsequently, I explored the matter with Mr. Coffey and
Their reactions were favorable and there appear to be
no insurmountable problems. From these encouraging exchanges I con-
cluded that we can put together an informative and interesting program
which will give the Seminar participants a better appreciation of the
Agency and the role of intelligence in U. S. foreign policy formulation.
At Mr. Coffey's request I touched base with who assured STATINTL
me that we would have no difficulty in providing a luncheon in the Execu-
tive Dining Room, the Rendezvous Room, or even the North Cafeteria.
3. For the program. I tentatively suggest three one and-one-half
hour periods devoted Ito the following topies: a. The Agency and the
Intelligence Process, b. Soviet Objectives and Capabilities, c. Devel-
opments in China: Implications and Impact. k\
