Office Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO : O/DD/I DATE: 19 February 1960
FROM : O/NE (WE)
SUBJECT: Employee Request to Conduct Student Briefing.
1. I have recently been approached by officials at Williams
College, where I was previously a member of the faculty, to meet
with a group of visiting senior honors students in the fields of
Political Science, History, and Economics, sometime in late March.
The trip to Washington is a college sponsored annual event for a
select group of 12-15 top undergraduates. Considerable preparation,
including heavy extra doses of reading and research, are demanded
of the participants. Each year's exercise has a theme topic
around which conferences and interviews with administration
officials, members of Congress, etce are organized.
2. The theme of this year's trip is "National Security". I
have been asked to discuss the significance of intelligence to
government policy in general terms, and CIA's role within the
administration in particular. It was further suggested I might
say a word about career opportunities in the field. The faculty
director of the project who is accompanying the group is Professor
Fred Greene, a young and highly competent scholar who served two
years ago on the staff of the National War College, and has had
considerable experience, both academic and otherwise, in the
study of national defense policies.
3. I would very much like to take part in this exercise not
only because I was instrumental in initiating the Washington trips
at Williams ten years ago, but also because it offers the
opportunity to do a little quiet recru^ting for the Agency. I
have discussed the matter with Hr. Kent, who indicated he would
have no objection to my participating in this project as long as
you were agreeable to it. Am I correct in assuming that I am also
expected to check this request out with Colonel Grogan's office
before writing the college about my availability?
