MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT : Director's Comments on Agency Speakers
L At his Morning Meeting today the Director referred to his
session on 21 March with the members of the Advanced Intelligence
Seminar. He mentioned being a=sked a question on an item about which
he himself had heard only a few clays earlier and he could not understand
how this student who had been on the course for some weeks could know
about this item. I- went on to c.Uude to another question about ?internal -
n pnagement which rc.i:ie.c;te ttitudes or opinions of senior people who 1;.yx'
had mat witia We tie enjoined the itiorning Meeting to avoid
hand-wringing particularly ,Lout: Internal management worries and
meeting with student groups--juste ad he urged that problems of that
nature be brought to his attention first.
2. Mr. Colby injected the thought that he and we were doing a
review of courses particularly ,s related to their personnel significance.
He said that this effort did tc?1e some time and that we currently were
waiting for Mr. Cunningham to return to carry it further.
3. After the meeting Mr. Colby told me that we must have course
precis which identify clearly wlLt each speaker is to cover and what
positions he is to take--through this means we will ensure that Directorate-
level desires are directly represented and that no uncoordinated individual
views are understood by students to be Agency or Directorate positions
or policies. He evidently .believes that there is no control on or knowledge
of the content of presentations made by individual speakers particularly
at a level lower than the Directorate.
