SUBJECT :. Response to Requests for Agency Officials as
Guest Speakers
25X1A
1. It recently came to my attention that some Agency speakers
are being provided without preliminary and careful compliance with
the provisions of This Regulation requires that all requests
for Agency speaker s be forwarded to the Director of Training, who is
responsible for coordinating the response with the appropriate Deputy
Directors or Heads of Independent Offices and, in certain instances,
with the Executive Director-Comptroller.
2. I ask each of you to assist the Director of Training in dis-
charging his responsibilities by personally satisfying yourself that the
speaker to be provided is well qualified to deal with the subject matter
and has the capacity to represent the Agency favorably. If a qualified
speaker is unavailable, we should not hesitate to decline the invitation.
I suggest you require supervisors to read-and hope you will
take any additional steps you deem appropriate to ensure you are com-
plying with its provisions.

r+9. REQUESTS FOR AGENCY OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. The
Agency provides guest speakers for presentations at facilities operated by mem-
bers of the Intelligence Community and at facilities of agencies outside the
Community. It also provides speakers for presentations to non-Government
groups such as business, professional, and civic organizations and universities.
This paragraph outlines procedures for fulfilling requests for Agency speakers.
It does not affect requirements of concerning outside ac-
tivities of Agency employees, nor does it alter the provisions of~con-
cerning the Agency's briefing and debriefing of U.S. Government officials who
are assigned overseas or who travel overseas.
a. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are sent to the Director of
Training If the request is from within the Intelligence ommunity the Di-
rector of Training will make the necessary arrangements. If the request is from
an agency outside the Intelligence Community, the Director of Training will
recommend action to the Executive Director-Comptroller, and execute the
decision made. The Director of Training will inform the Assistant to the Di-
rector of all requests received and actions taken. The Director of Training will
coordinate action with the Deputy Director or Head of Independent Office
concerned whenever a request cites by name a speaker who is under the super-
vision of a Deputy Director or a Head of Independent Office, or whenever a
specific substantive intelligence question of primary interest to a Deputy Di-
rector or Head of Independent Office is to be covered in the briefing.
b. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS
(1) REQUESTS FROM UNIVERSITIES OR ACADEMIC GROUPS are sent to
the Director of Training for response.
(a) If the group can attend a briefing at Headquarters Building,or at a
location in the Washington area selected or approved by the Agency,
and positive benefits to the Agency appear likely and at the same
time no compelling reason for refusal can be ascertained by the DDI
and other components as appropriate, the request will be approved.
(b) If the group requests that the briefing take place at the university,
in open forum, or at public premises, the request will in most cases
be refused. If in the judgment of the. Director. of Training a request
merits consideration for an exception to this rule, he will, in coordi-
nation with other interested components of the Agency, present a
recommendation for exception to the Executive Director-Comptroller.
(c) The Director of Training, in cognizance of the special relationship
being developed with the academic community by the DDI, will co-
ordinate the selection of speakers and program arrangements for
academic groups with the DDI.
(d) The.Director of Training will provide copies of significant corres-
pondence on all requests for briefings of academic groups to the Ex-
ecutive Director-Comptroller, the DDI, the Assistant to the Director,
and the Director of Security for their information.
(2) REQUESTS FROM OTHER NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS are sent to the
Director of Training, who recommends action to' the Executive Director-
Comptroller. If the request is approved, the Director of Training, in co-
ordination with the Assistant to the Director and the Director of Security,
will make arrangements for the presentation and select a speaker. If the
presentation is to be on a substantive intelligence question, the Director
of Training will coordinate the response and subsequent action with the
Deputy Director who has primary interest in the subject matter or su-
