Last year you addressed our Political Science 349 (Political Analysis)
classes at the United States Air Force Academy. On behalf of captain
Richard Fast, the current course director, I would like to invite you
to address the course again this fall. Your presentations last year
were both well received and highly informative, especially as they ex-
posed our students to practical applications of some of the methods
they were studying. Your contribution to the course was extremely
valuable and we hope you can come again this year to do a similar pre-
sentation.
I understand that Captain Fast has suggested December 6 and 7 for your
visit. If these dates are not convenient, other dates can be arranged.
The course meets at three different times; 1030 and 1440 on 6 December
and 1240 on 7 December. Each period is 50 minutes long; the mix of
formal presentation and informal interaction can be adjusted as you
desire. An evening presentation could also be arranged as it was last
year depending on your schedule and wishes.
As in the past, Air Force Academy funds for visiting speakers are ex-
tremely limited. Would it be possible to have your travel expenses
funded by your office? We would be able to provide your meals and
lodging.
We hope you will be able to schedule a visit with us, as it would benefit
both cadets and faculty. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
ERVIN J. ROKKE, Colonel, USAF
Professor and Head
