MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT; Lecture at Morehead State University, Kentucky
At the request. of our Academic Affairs Office I
traveled to Morehead State University on 4 October to
give a lecture to a national security seminar. The
topic was "The CIA and National Security." The
national security class is run by the military science
department in the university.
I felt that it was a worthwhile undertaking on the
agency's part. There is a very active military science
program at the university. In fact, it is staffed by
five field grade army officers plus a couple of captains
and a number of NCOs. On a non-compulsory basis they
have about 250 students in ROTC. The national security
class, also elective, had about 60 students. In short,
they seem to have quite a viable and serious program.
On a personal note, their hospitality was first-
rate. They had a car waiting at the Lexington airport
to take me on the 1 1/2 hour drive to Morehead. They had
a room reserved for me in the Student Center, took me out
to dinner on Wednesday night and to breakfast Thursday
morning. After my lecture I was given lunch with a
number of the deans, faculty, and some students. I was
asked to give about a 15-minute synopsis of my lecture at
the conclusion of the lunch.
The trip itself is not very exciting. The 1 1/2
hour drive from the airport to Morehead is on an inter-
state highway so the scenery is not very spectacular.
The town of Morehead is not very exciting and the uni-
versity, while pleasant, is also unexceptional for a
small school. In short, while I think it would be worth-
while to send someone if they asked again next year, r
would not be interested in repeating the trip.
