Highlights of Remarks by
Mr. Colby in CIA Today and Tomorrow
5 December 1974
1. Mr. Colby began by emphasizing most positively that
the U.S. Government cannot get along without us and that CIA
does indeed "have a tomorrow."
2. He pointed out that American technology has been of
tremendous help, particularly in regard to gaining knowledge
of Soviet missile programs and capabilities. The DCI reported
that President Ford had complete knowledge as to the number of
Soviet missiles when he met recently in Vladivostok with Brezhnev.
3. The Director also made the following points:
a. CIA's clandestine mission does have a tomorrow.
He cited recent Congressional endorsements of the Agency's
covert action program.
b. He expressed considerable concern about the Agee
book being published in January and discussed the problem
of holding on to our secrets.
c. He complimented OER for doing a "masterful job"
in keeping track of world oil developments.
d. Because of inflation, our objectives must be
better focused and more limited.
e. The DDS&T is working on some "dramatic ideas"
for the future.
f. One of his (Co .by's) major jobs is getting the
Intelligence Community to work more closely together.
4. The Director made some interesting points during the
question period:
a. The Chile episode had considerable impact on our
operations in Latin America. It is harder to recruit
agents there,
b. The Agency recommended veto of the Freedom of
Information Act. The President's veto was overridden,
and this will cause us some problems.

c. Re MBO: In the long run it will be a great help.
Will take 3 years to become really valuable. It's a slow
process.
d. We must get our product to the policymakers in the
proper format. We have to compete for the minds of our
high-level customers. Example: New NationalIntelli ence
Daily (newspaper style) is being well receive d. An example
ofwhat we have done for President Ford--we showed him
films of Brezhnev--which gave Mr. President clues as to
his style, mannerisms, language, etc.--before the meeting
in Vladivostok.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Senior Training Officer
SUBJECT Attendance at CIA Today and
Tomorrow, 3-S December 1974
1. The attached list contains the names of those
in your Directorate who are scheduled to attend the
'CIA Today and Tomorrow.
25X1A
2. We urge you or your component training
officers to contact each applicant individually to
remind him of his enrollment in this course, and
ask him (or her) to report to the Headquarters
'Auditorium at 0830 on Tuesday, 3 December. Since a
number of training requests have been on file in OTR
for several months, it is likely that some may forget
that they are scheduled to attend this program. This
happened in a number of cases at our October running.
Since we expect an audience of about 200, it would be
difficult for OTR to call each individual.
3. In view of -the fact that Mr. Colby and most
of the other senior officials of the Agency will be
appearing as speakers, we urgently invite your cooperation
in this matter.
4. We would also appreciate being notified if any
of those on this list will not be attending the program.
Additional applications for the course (Form 73's) will
be accepted by OTR through Wednesday, 27 November.
S. Please call me or on extension 21.27
if you have any further questions about this program.

MEMORANDUM FOR: The Record
SUBJECT Highlights of Remarks by Mr. Blake and
Mr. Nelson in CIA Today and Tomorrow -
December 1974
1. DDA Presentation
a. Mr. Blake began, as he did in the last course, by
complimenting OTR and the Training staff on developing this
program, which provided an opportunity for senior Agency
officials to communicate their ideas and hopes to large
groups of Agency employees.
b. He discussed briefly reasons behind the name
change from DDMFS to DDA.
c. He announced (for the first time publicly) the
change in retirement policy, permitting those under the
Civil Service System to retire at age 65. He stated that
the DCI had just signed off on this.
d. He felt one of our biggest challenges in the near
future would be responding to the strict provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act, from which CIA is not exempt.
e. We hope to sell Air America this month.
f. One of the most significant activities in OTR is
the development of and tremendous interest in the Informa-
tion Science Training Program.
g. Our greatest financial problem is that 0MB fails to
crank in an inflationary factor when reviewing our budget.
2. DDO Presentation
a. Mr. Nelson (in one of the best and frankest presen-
tations I have heard him give to an Agency-wide audience)
began by maintaining that the Agency's most perplexing prob-
lem is that of operating a secret intelligence organization

in an open society. Specifically preserving the secrecy of
our relationships with agents in the field is becoming more
and more difficult.
b. There are still many "strong voices" in this country
who feel we should not conduct secret operations.
c. The DDO is now sure that Mr. Agee has defected to
Cuban Intelligence and may be under the control of the KGB.
d. Under the new Freedom of Information Act, certain
people could conduct harassing operations against the Agency.
e. USSR is still our #1 priority target. We are doin
better in recruiting Soviet agents than we have since
f. Our most recent major intelligence failure was
g. We haven't yet been doing a good job in clandestine
economic operations. Case officers need more training in
economics.
h. Although the President has endorsed the need for
covert action, these activities will be greatly limited and
probably under even tighter control.
i. In the question period, one attendee complimented
Mr. Nelson in his frankness, candor and openness. He also
asked the DDO how more people in other Directorates could
learn more about the activities and problems of his Director-
ate. His response (paraphrased) was that OTR was making a
fine effort in this direction, and he would particularly
recommend that middle-level officers in other Directorates
take the Midcareer Course.
