Dear Admiral Turner:
OCT 2 8 1977
On behalf of the officers of Foreign Area Officer Course
2-77, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for
the Central Intelligence Agency's series of excellent
presentations during our recent Interdepartmental Agency
Field Trip.
From all reports, the day spent with your people was unani-
mously considered to be the highlight of the week's events.
Perhaps the two elements which most impressed our officers
were the candor and enthusiasm of all the briefers and the
manner in which the day was organized. Special recognition
is directed to for
their efficient coordination and conduct ot theprogram.
The wives of the officers likewise were impressed by the
warm reception and extremely informative presentation which
TAT they received from
In closing, let me reemphasize our gratitude for your
personal support of the educational mission of the Institute
for Military Assistance. The interest in our educational
mission displayed by the Agency adds considerable credibil-
ity to our program.
Sincerely,
JACK V. MACKMULL

A visit from the Foreign Area Officers to CIA is always
welcome, and we look forward to having the officers and
accompanying faculty and staff here on 6 October from 0900
to 1500. I understand that the Office of Training is
expecting you, and I know they will make every effort to
make the day a profitable one.
As you know, we are in the midst of change in the
organization of the Intelligence Community. With my present
heavy schedule, it seems unlikely that I shall be able to
participate in your program, much as I would enjoy meeting
your officers. My colleagues will do their best, however,
to bring them abreast of developments in the Community.
Mrs. Turner and I appreciate your invitation to the
cocktail party at Fort McNair and regret that present
circumstances make it doubtful that we can attend.
I am gratified by your continued interest in our work.
Arrangements for your visit are in the hands of our Special
STAT Programs Officer, who can be reached on
STAT 6 he will be glad to help you in any way she
can in preparation for your visit.
Yours since

Dear Admiral Turner:
AIM 2 4 1977
During the period 2-6 October 1977, a group of officers from
our resident Foreign Area Officer Course and accompanying
faculty and staff of the Institute for Military Assistance
will be in Washington on our Interdepartmental Agency Field
Trip. These officers are being prepared for a variety of
politico-military assignments both in the United States and
abroad.
As in the past, I would like to respectfully request the
assistance of your office in arranging for a series of
briefings for these officers on the Central Intelligence
Agency. Previous classes have singled out the CIA portion
of the itinerary as most enlightening and informative and I
would like to afford this present class the same opportunity
to hear about the Agency's vital role in the national intel-
ligence effort. A member of my staff has already contacted
your Office of Training about suitable dates and has tenta-
tively identified 6 October. With your approval, I would
like to include the CIA presentation in our itinerary for 6
October from 0900 to 1500 hours. If these arrangements are
convenient for you, I know the officers would very much
appreciate hearing your comments on the present status of
the intelligence community.
In order to guarantee that our week in Washington is not all
work, we have planned an informal cocktail party at the Fort
McNair Officers' Open Mess on 3 October from 1930 to 2130
hours. We would be honored if you and Mrs. Turner would
join us and.other Washington area friends of the Institute
for a few relaxing hours of good company and spirited
conversation.
If you should have any questions about either this request
or the invitation, please have a member of your staff contact
Colonel Raymond Maladowitz at AC 919 396-7809/2415.

beneficial.
