Dear Admiral Taylor:
July 18, 1967
Thank you for your valuable discussion with the business executives
participating in this season's final Brookings Conference on Federal
Government Operations, July 9114, 1967. We had an exceptionally
able group of businessmen in this session, and I believe the general
level of questions asked was excellent.
We greatly appreciate your aiding us in this educational venture, and
believe that these off-the-record, informal meetings provide a real
opportunity for greater understanding of governmental policies and
processes. Members of the group were clearly impressed with the
view of political life and of major persons in government which they
received.
I thought we had an exceptionally pleasant and relaxed visit, as well
as an informative one. Perhaps it had something to do with the ques-
tions, such as the one about the Russian belief in UFOs, though I be-
lieve the participants asked some very good questions. The partici-
pants afterwards seemed particularly enthusiastic, and we more than
accomplished our goal of increasing understanding.
Since this is the last of this season's programs, I'd like to add my
own special thanks to your associates in the Office of Training, who
handled the rather complicated arrangements for each session. I
have worked most closely with I and also
know that Messrs have been involved and perhaps
others whom I have not met. can, E thank all of the Agency personnel
who have participated in the panels, either, but I hope you will convey
our thanks for the very fine sessions we have had.
