This letter is the result of my discussion with Robert
Zurschmeide concerning the attainment of a technical speaker
from the agency to atlress students at Drexel University's
Engineering and Science Day. Mr. Zurschmeide suggested that I
present you with the facts concerning the day, and that I
accept your recommendation.
Basicly, Engineering and Science Day is run by the Federation.
of Engineering and Science Societies (FESS) and has been held
at our university for the past 28 years. This year, on February
22nd, Dr. Mario G. Salvadori a noted mathematician and civil
engineer from Columbia University is to be our keynote speaker-.
His topics "Technology, Ethics, and Society" will be presented to
all engineering and science students in our school, numbering
upwards of 900.
After Dr. Salvadori's speech three technical sessions are
held. The topics for these sessions are left to the individual,
speakers, but they usually revolve. around the keynote speaker's
topic. Much interest was expressed among the members of FESS
in getting a speaker from the C.I.A. A suggested topic for
that speaker could take the form of "Technology and the C.I.A."
for example.
Although the afternoon technical sessions are not usually as
populated as the main speaker's address, you may expect that
as many as 90 engineering and science students and professors
will attend. The session may make use of audio visual aids
or have a question/answer period at its conclusion. FESS,
will reimburse you for your travel expenses on the day.
