MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM : Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT : Programs of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace
1. This memorandum is for your background and reports
on the status of my efforts to explore the possibility of CIA
participation in some of the Carnegie programs as we do in
the Brookings business sessions.
2. After some delay, I was able to talk with Tom Hughes
who had been abroad. I gave him some background on our
desire to give CIA more informal contact with the academic
community and said that his FACE-TO-FACE program seemed
to be the closest to our needs. He was very receptive and
offered to have David Biltchik who runs this program get in
touch with me.
3. Biltchik called me today and described his program
as follows. One part involves a luncheon meeting program with
an outside speaker, usually an academic author of a book, on
some aspect of foreign policy. Some thirty Government people
attend these luncheons--twenty from State, the rest from other
agencies and Congressional staffs. Another part of the program
involves evening sessions which occur once a month and involve
about 75 people, some of whom are academicians and newsmen.
Each of these sessions deals with a specific foreign policy issue
and permits some discussion and exchange--or views. Biltchik-'-
says that you are a nominal member of this evening program,
and he hopes that you might attend some time. (He said he had
thought of having his wife talk to Barbara to get you to go. )

4. At this stage it is clear to me that Carnegie does not
have a program for academicians like the one Brookings has
for businessmen. Nevertheless, I am going to pursue this
matter with Biltchik at lunch in the near future.
