Mr. William Casey, Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, DC 20505,
Dear. Mr...Casey, .
The Yale Political union is one of America's fore-
most political forums, providing its members with the
opportunity to exchange ideas with each other and with
nationally known figures on current issues. This Spring,
we'will be holding a symposium in Washington, DC to allow
about forty of our members to meet face-to-face with pro-
minent persons in government, journalism, and other areas
which deal with politics.' We will be in Washington from
March 7-10, and would be very grateful if you could spare
some time from your schedule to lend your viewpoints and
experiences to the group. We would especially like to
hear your views on the necessity of a strong CIA.
We will be glad to meet with you in your office if
you can accomodate the entire group; if not, we can make
other arrangements. Even if you can spare only a few
minutes, we would enjoy speaking with you. If. you are
interested, or have any questions about the Union or the
symposium, please call or write me at the above address.
Linle jf Gwennap
Vice President for Programs.
