history of Syria's involvement in it. (See attached outline.) I
would not address U.S. policy or initiatives in the area, nor

would be involved; there are copious sources of information on this
subject with which I am familiar.

SUBJECT Discussion of CIA Career Opportunities
with University of Maryland Graduate Students
1. On October 4, 1978 I attended an open meeting of
the Department of Agricultural Economics (DARE) Graduate
Student Society at the Univeristy of Maryland. My attendance
at the meeting had been arranged through a member of the
DARE faculty and officers of the Graduate Student Society.
Students in the Department had been informed through a news-
letter that I would discuss CIA career opportunities for
agricultural economists.
2. The meeting was attended by about 20 graduate
students--more than 70 percent of the full time enrollment.
The meeting's principal speaker was the newly appointed
Department Head, Dr. Virgil Norton. His candid discussion
about internal, problems and plans was well received and
generated a great deal of response from the students.
After Dr. Norton's presentation, the students concluded
business on organizational matters before my presentation.
3. The. purpose of my presentation was to inform
students of the type of work being done in OER, the general
working environment in the Agency, and the career oppor-
tunities for an agricultural economist. The presentation
generated numerous questions ranging from analytical
techniques to promotion opportunities and career potential
for minorities (women). Each student received a copy of
Agency publications on "Career Opportunities--Agricultural
Economic Research Positions" and "Notes on the General
Working Environment for Economists".
4. After concluding the discussion with the group,
I fielded questions from four individuals who expressed
a strong interest in learning more about employment
opportunities in OER and the Agency. These individuals
were encouraged to prepare a resume and contact either
myself or the personnel office address listed on the
handout sheets. A letter of thanks will be sent to the
Graduate Student Society for allowing me the opportunity
to meet with the group.
