The purpose of this letter is to request your-assistance in
obtaining a speaker to address our National Security class at
Morehead State University. Ms. Emmy Combs, a friend of Professor
John Kleber of our History Department and co-coordinator of the
National Security class with me, said that you may be able to
help us.
The National Security program at Morehead State University is an
elective course in the establishment and maintenance of national
security.. The course.is open to anyone in the student body who
desires to gain a greater understanding of Americats security
system and individual responsibilities regarding national security
without enrolling in our military science class. Students from
all disciplines and academic ranks are enrolled in the course.
The program is offered for a nine-week period each fall semester,
with two class meetings per week.
Specifically, some of the topics covered in the past have included
"Moral Decisions and War," "Military.-Industrial Complex," "The
Woman's Role in the Army," "The Foreign Policy Process," "Funda-
mentals of Strategy and Defense Policy," etc. The lecturers have
represented areas both from off campus and from the faculty of
Morehead State University. Among the more noteworthy past off-
campus speakers were General Harold K. Johnson, former Army Chief
of Staff; Dr. Frank N. Trager, Director of National Security Pro-
grams, New York University; Mr. Emanual Rosen, Principal Assistant
to the Deputy Secretary of Defense for Management Systems; Major
General W.W. Scott, Commanding General, Army Readiness Region VI;
and Dr. Gerald L. Steibel, Director of Foreign Affairs Research,
the Research Institute of America.

Dr. Brian Latell
In a "nutshell," the overall objective of the National Security
course is to create an awareness in young men and women that they
need in order to make the appropriate decisions demanded in a demo-
cratic society; it provides a body of organized knowledge relating
to the crucial problems of national security faced by our citizens.
The topic we have in mind is "The Central Intelligence Agency and
National Security." We have tentatively scheduled this subject
for Thursday, October 5, 1978, at 10:20 a.m. The speaker would
have one hour for the presentation and questions.
We sincerely feel that a lack of understanding of national security
problems is of paramount concern, and one of the best places to
address that concern is in the academic community. This should -
be an excellent opportunity to place the CIA in proper perspective
in the national security picture.
I will be departing; however, Major Michael Campbell will remain at
the University throughout the summer if you have questions. LTC
William McGee will arrive in August to take my place. -.Our phone
numbers are area code 606 783-5290 and -3251.

EDWARD J. BALD`A, JR.
