Dear Dwight,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful
letter of congratulations and the kind invi-
tation to speak to the Economic Club of
New York.
As you can imagine, my schedule is rather
tight for the next few months. Thus, I will
have to decline the 3 May offer, but would
certainly entertain a "fall season" engagement.
My staff will be in touch shortly to firm
up a date.
Again, many thanks and all the bes

The Honorable Stansfield Turner
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C. 205-05
First let me congratulate you on your appointment by the President to be the
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. It needs a strong hand and you bring
to the position a record that inspires confidence. My best wishes for every suc-
cess.
I am writing to extend an invitation to you to be the guest of The Economic Club of
New York and to address our audience. Let me add here that we had Director William
E. Colby as our guest in 1974, and he was well received by our audience.
Our members are executives on the top levels of business, industry and finance.
Many of their companies operate not only in this country but throughout the world.
The Club, which was founded in 1907, is non-political and non-partisan. Our din-
ner meetings are black tie occasions held in the Grand Ballroom of the New York.
Hilton. Our audience numbers approximately 1000. Two speakers appear on each pro-
gram, chosen from different fields and speaking on different subjects. The program
includes a question period with questions asked by a panel at the Head Table. The
press is represented.
In order to put this invitation into concrete terms, I should like to suggest the
date of 'day May 3 1977. We have four dinner meetings a year, and the next.
will be scheduled some time in the fall season. I am enclosing some materials on
the background of the Club. Our Board of Directors joins me in hoping that you
will find it possible to be with us.
Best regards.

formally for about 15 minutes and then answering questions for an

Fifteen to twenty editors, editorial writers, commentators and re-
porters from throughout the country will participate in the Conference,
which is one of a series the Center has been sponsoring since 1971 to
help develop a broader understanding among journalists of key issues

Attendance at the Conference is limited so that the sessions can be
both informal and informative.
We would like you to talk about U. S. -Soviet relations and lead a dis -
cussion at a session at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 17.
If this time is inconvenient, I am sure that we can arrange a time to
suit your schedule.
The session will be held at the Watergate Hotel, 2650 Virginia Ave.,
N.W.
Enclosed is additional information about the Conference on Foreign
Policy and Defense Issues. We are hoping for an early and affirmative
reply and would appreciate your sending a biographical sheet along
with your acceptance.
