and staff assignments as well as attendance at the U.S. Army Command and Gen-
eral Staff College. To prepare officers for these positions, the USAICS .
.conducts a guest speaker program with speakers from positions of great re-
sponsibility within the intelligence community.
On behalf of the Staff and Faculty, I would like to invite you to address the
Advance Classes inYs.ession on the afternoon of the 27th of June on a subject
of your choosing. The stud- en ts-as-werl-as--members-of-tthe-Siva-ff -a.nd Faculty
will.be very interested in any topic you might choose.
This p 'rticular time frame is very important to the USAICS as well as the
Military Intelligence Branch. The 28th of June is the USAICS organization
day and the 29th is the date of the MI Ball at Fort Huachuca. Additionally
the recently formed National Military Intelligence Association is having
their convention in Sierra Vista, Arizona located adjacent to Fort Huachuca,
on June 27 and 28. The board of directors of the N.M.I.A. has asked that
I take this opportunity to invite you to address their convention at their
dinner on the evening of the 28th of June. A letter from the President of
the N.M.I.A., Colonel Dalton, will be forthcoming,
If your schedule permits you to accept our invitation a detailed itinerary
