WASHINGTON
May 10, 1960
We have planned another in the series of annual con-
ferences of senior civilian and military officials in the Department
of Defense at the Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia, be-
ginning on the evening of Thursday, 16 June, and extending through
Saturday evening, 18 June 1960.
Your past talks have always been a highlight of our
programs, and we hope that you can open our Friday morning
business session, 17 June 1960, with one of your firsthand a--
praisals of the current situation.
We look forward to your being with us for the entire
program, and we hope that you will be able to accept this invita-
tion to address us. We have included your name in the attached
tentative program in order that you might see the nature of the
program that we are planning.
Sincerely,
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
