Action Memorandum No. A.307
Date 24 October 1963
Annual Meeting of th U varsity Associates
and the Agency Recruiters
1. I thought that the annual meeting of the
University Associates and the Agency Recruiters. together with the
senior Agency officers working on the 100 Universities Program, was
a successful event, and certainly an improvement over previous meet-
ings. However, I fool that certain improvements can be made.
2. In future years I believe that the first day el the mooting
of the University Associates should be held here in Headquarters and
should be devoted exclusively to a reorientation of the changes that have
taken place in the Agency during the preceding year. / would envisage
that such a day would include a welcoming speech by either the Director
or Deputy Director, an hour devoted to major developments in the U. S.
intelligence community, an hour devoted to major changes in the Agency,
and perhaps the final hour of the morning devoted to a comprehensive
analysis of the world situation. The afternoon could be devotee nicris
to some of our major efforts, such as Wheolon on scientific and tech-
nical intelligence, Lundahl on photographic intelligence, and perhaps a
concluding period on such subjects as counterinsurgency.
3. By this vehicle I think we can do a lot better than we did

r* than recruiting tools; that they are indeed "associates" of
and that they have been taken into our c mfidence in some of our

insportatnt work. I feel further that we need periodically to engage in a
little salesmanship with these people in order to keep up their esprit de
corps and continue therri as enthusiastic supporters.
4. After the first day I believe that the balance can be worked
out in close association with the recruiters and the Office of Personnel.
S. Would you pleas. see that this is implemented for next year.
