Briefing Requests from Academic

Memorandum for the DDI from the
Executive Director-Comptroller;
Subject: Handling of Briefing Requests
from Academic Croups, dated
12 February 1969
1. Requests from academic institutions and groups
for Agency briefings are not handled in a consistent manner,
and there is no central file to which one may turn with con-
fidence for a complete record of what groups were briefed,
when, by whom, and on what. In the absence of a clear state-
ment of Agency policy concerning briefings for academic
groups, each request tends to be treated on an ad hoc basis.
Historically, the Agency has not engaged extensively in briefing
non-governmental groups on its mission.
2. Non-governmental audiences that have received
briefings on the Agency include student, faculty, business,
service club, and professional groups. Most such briefing
excepting the highly successful Brookings sessions for business
leaders have been given away from Headquarters. The 100
Universities Program, in abeyance since 1967, and occasional

appearances by officers in response to specific
teams from service or university groups account for
most such briefings. In recent months there has been an
Increase in the number of presentations given at Headquarters.
(See Appendix A for a listing, probably partial, of briefings
even SW* January 196'1, compiled for Executive Director-
ComptroLler, OTR, DM, Office of Security. and Office of
Personnel sources.)
3. The experience thus far indicates thatwaft-con-
ducted end frank discussions of the Agency, its general mis-
sion and its research, analysis, and estimative functions by
appropriate Agency officers contribute significantly to im-
proved Agency-academic relations and open new perspectives
to university students contemplating their future careers.
The Irridence of positive gain from briefing university groups
is sufficiently clear to justify more extensive and planned
experimentation, a policy of receptivity to requests for such
briefings, and the development of a regular procedure for
handling the requests.
4. The regulation of closest proximity to the problem
is of 6 June 1966 (Appendix B). it provides that
requestsfrom scovernment agencies for guest speakers shall
be forwarded to the Director of Training for review, recom-
mendation, and action. Requests from non-government groups
for guest speakers shall be forwarded to the Assistant to the
Director for review and recommendation and thence to the
Executive Director-Comptroller for decision. ff the request
is approved, the Assistant to the Director chooses a speech
from his library of prepared texts and the Director of Training
selects the speaker and makes whatever physical arrangements
are necessary.

5. Thus, provides no special treatment for
university groups and contains no statement of Agency policy
with respect to briefing requests from university groups.
By requiring the speaker to use a text previously prepared
sad coordinated by others1 the regulation increases the pos-
sibility the presentations might be unnatural or sterile.
The regulation also engages the time and attention of at least
three top-ranking officials in a matter which might be handled
more routinely under an established policy and procedure.
5. In the fall of 1868, the Director of Training pro-
posed changes it designed to provide a more concise
statement of procedures and to place more emphasis on pro-
viding guest speakers for other members of the intelligence
Community and less on saUsfying requests from non-government
groups. Coordination of the proposed changes was not com-
pleted. Since then interest has increased in the possible
benefits of briefing academic groups. A serious difficulty
in developing a policy and procedures to deal with the matter
of providing Agency speakers stems from the numerous kinds
of situations, audiences, and subject matter to be considered.
7. CONCLUSIONS:
a. Experience indicates that discussions between
academic groups and appropriate Agency officials is
of benefit in terms of general Agency-academic rela-
tions and attracting university students to consider a
career in intelligence.
b. There is need to develop an Agency policy
for the proceesing of requests from academic groups
for such discussions with Agency officers. The policy
should:

I. Reflect a positive approach toward
approving requests for such briefings;
2. Provide general guidelines for handling
such requests;
3. Levy responsibility wIthin the Agency
for haniling the requests and for appropriate
intra-Agency consultation and coordination
concerning correspondence with the requesting
groups, program arrangements and selection
of speakers.
c. The Director of Training should continue
as the focal point and action officer for handling re-
quests for Agency speakers.
d. In considering and managing requests from
academic groups for briefings, the Director of Training
should make use of the extensive DCS contacts with
academic institutions and take into account the special
relationship with the academic community being developed
by the DDI.
e. The special interest of appropriate Deputy
Directors should be recognised in the selection of
officers to speak on substantive intelligence questions,
regardless of the requester or audience.

9. REQUESTS FOR CIA OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. CIA is
? often requested to supply guest speakers for public functions of non-Government
organizations and groups, such as business and professional organizations, civic
organizations, and universities, as well as to regularly provide guest speakers
for schools and colleges operated by the Department of Defense and for other
Government training activities. In order to designate a central point of admin-
istrative control for the various types of requests for speakers, the following
procedures shall be followed:
a. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS. Requests for CIA officials
to speak before non-Government groups shall be forwarded promptly to the
Assistant to the Director who will review them and recommend action to the
'Executive Director-Comptroller.
(1) If the request is approved by the Executive Director-Comptroller, the
. ? Assistant to the Director will choose the text of the ? presentation and will
refer the request to the Director of Training to select a speaker and arrange
for his appearance. Several prepared texts which have previously been
coordinated with the Director of Training, the Director of Security, and
the Assistant to the Director will be available for use. The text chosen
by the Assistant to the Director in each instance will require no further
coordination or approval unless there is to be a significant departure from
its contents. .
(2) If the request is not approved by the Executive .Director-Comptroller, the
Assistant to the Director will inform the requester and the Director of
Training.
?. ? b. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OUTSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE.
COMMUNITY. Requests for guests speakers which come from Government
?? sources outside the Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director
' of Training who will review them and recommend action to the Executive
? Director-Comptroller. A copy of the recommendation will be forwarded to
? the Assistant to the Director. If the request is approved by the Executive Di-
,
?? rector-Comptroller, the Director of Training will take the necessary action;
- if not approved, he will advise the requester.
c. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHIN TITLE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests for guest speakers which come from members of the
? Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director of Training who
. will take appropriate action and inform the Assistant to the Director of the
action taken. No approval is needed with respect to such a request unless it
presents a question of policy or the Director of Training recommends to the
Executive Director-Comptroller that the request be denied.
This paragraph 'does not affect the requirements of oncern-
log the outside activities of Agency employees.

REFERENCE ?
? Memorandum for the DD/I from the Executive
Director-Comptroller; Subject: Handling of
Briefing Requests from Academic Groups,
Dated 12 February 1969
1. The referenced memorandum asked the DD/I to review
the problem of the Agency's handling of briefing requests
from academic groups and, after consulting with other inter-
ested components, to redommend the action necessary to
establish clear and effective Agency policies and procedures.
2. In response to your request, I convened a study
group consisting of representatives of the DD/S, DD/S&T,
DD/P, the Office of Personnel; the Office of Training, the
Domestic Contact Service, and the Special Assistant to the
Director. We have now had three meetings during which we
probed all aspects of the problem, and we have considered
and rejected four separate redrafts of the relevant
regulation,
3. That regulation assigns responsibility for handling
requests for speakers and for selecting speakers to the
Office of Training. For a variety of reasons the regula-
tion is often bypassed. The thrust of my effort in the
study group has been to divest OTR of responsibility for
the handling of academic groups and assign it to the DD/I.
In addition, I sought to underline special DD/I interest
in lectures to all kinds of groups on matters of substantive
intelligence. An effort to revise and clarify

eighteen months ago failed to achieve DD/I coordination on
the latter point. My hope, now ,proven to be a fatuous one,
was to deliver to you a brief report with recommendations
and a coordinated, revised
4. It is now apparent that a draft regulation which
takes from the Office of Training responsibility for managing
briefings and the provision of speakers is acceptable neither
to the Director of Training nor to the Deputy Director for
Support. OTR holds that responsibilities assigned to that
'Office under existing regulations have been capably handled,
and that it is uniquely qualified by experience and its
"neutral" position and by the talents of its professional
briefers and teachers to conduct or to arrange briefings
and lectures on the Agency to all types of' groups and
audiences. The position of the Deputy :Director for Support
is that whatever arrangement is made for handling such
activities, responsibility for management of them should
be centered in one office, and that OTR is well-suited to
the task.
5. There are points to be made on both sides of the
questions which divide us from OTR and the DD/S. For
example, there is a very substantial amount of bookkeeping
and low-level logistical work involved in managing briefing
programs which OTR has the manpower and, presumably, the
capability to handle. A special program of briefings for
academic groups under a new policy of receptivity to requests
would probably develop in two or three years into a sizeable
operation which could prove excessively time-consuming to
DD/I officers. On the other hand, I still doubt that OTR
has any unique capability to select speakers for all occa-
sions and groups, or to achieve the kind of personal rapport
which is so essential in dealing with current college groups.
On another point, the DD/S position that the account should
be managed by one office has obvious merit. Indeed the
decentralization and management ,of briefings and lectures
which has developed through useage and in spite of the
existing regulation is one of the main weaknesses in the
current situation. It seems to me that no component other
than OTR should want to be burdened with the total briefing
program covered in

6. Of course there are other lines that could be
taken. If one were to insist that handling the academic
groups become a DD/I program, coordination would have to
be handled at a level higher than mine. Also, matters
might be permitted to continue as they are, i.e., the
Director, Executive Director, and DD/I siphon off incoming
requests from academic and other groups which they want to
handle personally or feel might best be handled at that
level, and pass the rest to OTR.
7. I believe that the DD/I's interests ?and the
interests of the Agency might best be served by retaining
OTR responsibility for the general management, record
keeping, and logistics for briefings including academic
groups. However, responsibility for selecting speakers
and developing programs for academic groups could be shared
with the DD/I in recognition of the special relationship
existing and being built up by the DD/I with the academic
community. Also a new regulation could recognize the
DD/I's special interest in briefings or lectures that
concern questions of substantive intelligence, regardless
of the nature of the group. I believe a regulation along
this line can be coordinated.
8. Although the above represents less change than I
had hoped for, it still represents progress on four points.
a. First, we have agreed that the Agency should
have an explicitly stated policy of receptivity to
requests from academic groups for lectures on the Agency.
It did not have that before.
b. Second, we have also agreed to eliminate the
provision in the present regulation requiring speakers
to lecture from the collection of previously prepared
texts on file in the Office of the Special Assistant
to the Director.
c. Third, there appears to be no insurmountable
problem in recognizing the DD/I's special interest in
lectures which involve substantive intelligence questions.

the DD/I into a key position with respect to recom-

without burdening the Directorate with the nuts

and bolty.

Report on the Agency's Handling-of Briefing
Requests from Academic Groups and Recommenda-
tions for Policies and .Procedures
Memorandum for the DD/I from the Executive
Director-Comptroller; Subject: Handling of
Briefing Requests from Academic Groups,
Dated 12 February 1969
1. Requests from academic institutions and groups
for Agency briefings are not handled in a consistent
manner, and there is no central file to which one may turn
with confidence for a complete record of what groups were
briefed, when, by whom, and on what. In the absence of a
clear statement of Agency policy concerning briefings for
academic groups, each request tends to be treated on an
ad ,hoc basis. Historically, the Agency has not engaged
extensively in briefing non-governmental groups on its
mission.
2. Non-governmental audiences that have received
briefings on the Agency include student, faculty, business,

service club, and professional groups. Most such briefings,
excepting the highly successful Brookings sessions for
business leaders', have been given away from Headquarters.
The 100 Universities Program, in abeyance since 1967, and
occasional individual appearances
specific invitations from service
account for most such briefings.
has been an increase in the number
at Headquarters. (See Appendix A

or university groups
In recent months there
of presentations given
for a listing; probably
January 1967, compiled
from Executive Director-Comptroller, OTR, DD/I,
Security, and Office of Personnel sources.)
3. The experience thus far indicates that
Office of
well-
conducted and frank discussions of the Agency, its general
mission and its research, analysis, and estimative functions
by appropriate Agency officers contribute significantly to
improved Agency-academic relations and open new perspectives
to university students contemplating their future careers.
The evidence of positive gain from briefing university
groups is sufficiently clear to justify more extensive and
planned experimentation, a policy of receptivity to
requests for such briefings, and the development of a
regular procedure for handling the requests.

4. The regulation of closest proximity to the problem
is of 6 June 1966 (Appendix B). It provides that
requests from government agencies for guest speakers shall
be forwarded to the Director of Training for review, recom-
mendation, and action. Requests from non-government groups
for guest speakers shall be forwarded to the Assistant to
the Director for review and recommendation and thence to
the Executive Director-Comptroller for decision. If the
request is approved, the Assistant to the Director chooses
a speech from his library of prepared texts and the Director
of Training selects the speaker and makes whatever physical .
arrangements are necessary.

5. Thus __________provides no special treatment for
university groups and contains no statement of Agency
policy with respect to briefing requests from university
groups. By requiring the speaker to use a text previously
prepared and coordinated by others, the regulation increases
the possibility the presentations might be unnatural or
sterile. The/regulation also engages the time and attention
of at least three top-ranking officials in a matter which might
be handled more routinely under an established policy and
procedure.

6. In the fall of 1968, the Director of Training
proposed changes in designed to provide a more concise
statement of procedures and to place more emphasis on prov
viding guest speakers for other members of the Intelligence
Community and less on satisfying requests from non-government
groups. Coordination of the proposed changes was not completed.
Since then interest has increased in the possible benefits
of briefing academic.groups. A serious difficulty in devel-
oping a policy and procedures to deal with the matter of
providing Agency speakers stems from the numerous kinds of
situations, audiences, and subject matter to be considered.
7. CONCLUSIONS:
a. Experience indicates that dicussions between
academic groups and appropriate Agency officials is
of benefit in terms of general Agency-academic
relations and attracting university students to
consider a career in intelligence.
b. There is need to develop an Agency policy
for the processing of requests from academic groups
for such /discussions with Agency officers. The policy

c. The Director of Training should continue as

d. In considering and managing requests from
academic groups for briefings, the Director of Training
should make use of the extensive DCS contacts with
academic institutions and take into account the special

9. REQUESTS FOP, CIA OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. CIA is
often requested to supply guest speakers for public functions of non-Government
--organizations and groups, such as business and professional organizations, civic
organizations, and universities, as well as to regularly provide guest speakers
for schools and colleges operated by the Department of Defense and for other
Government training activities. In order to designate a central point of admin-
istrative control for the various types of requests for speakers, the following
procedures shall be followed:
a. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS. Requests for CIA officials
to speak before non-Government groups shall be forwarded promptly to the
Assistant to the Director who will review them and recommend action to the
Executive Director-Comptroller.
? (1) If the request is approved by the Executive Director-Comptroller, the
. ? Assistant to the Director will choose the text of the ? presentation and will
refer the request to the Director of Training to select a speaker and arrange
for his appearance. Several prepared texts which have previously been
coordinated with the Director of Training, the Director of Security, and ?1
the Assistant to the Director will be available for use. The text chosen .1
by the Assistant to the Director in each instance will require no further .!';
coordination or approval unless there is to be a significant departure from 1'
its contents. ,
(2) If the request is not approved by the Executive Director-Comptroller, the
Assistant to the Director will inform the requester and the Director of
Training.
b. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OUTSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE'
COMMUNITY. Requests for guests speakers which come from Government ?
sources outside the Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director
of Training who will review them and recommend action to the Executive
? Director-Comptroller. A copy of the recommendation will be forwarded to
? ? the Assistant to the Director. If the request is approved by the Executive Di-
:. rector-Comptroller, the Director of Training will take the necessary action;
if not approved, he will advise the requester.
? c.. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHIN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests for guest speakers which come from members of the
Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director of Training who
will take appropriate action and inform the Assistant to the Director of the
action taken. No approval is needed with respect to such a request unless it
presents a question of policy* or the Director of Training recommends to the
Executive Director-Comptroller that the request be denied.
This paragraph does not affect the requirements of concern-
the outside activities of Agency employees.

9. REQUESTS FOR AGENCY OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. The Agency
provides guest speakers for presentations at facilities operated
by members of the Intelligence Community and at facilities of
agencies outside the Community. It also provides speakers
for presentations to non-Government groups such as business,
professional, and civic organizations and universities. This
paragraph outlines procedures for fulfilling requests for
Agency speakers. It does not affect requirements of
or concerning outside activities' of Agency employees,
nor does it alter the provisions of
a. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are sent to the Director
of Training. If the request is from within the Intelligence
Community the Director of Training will make the necessary
?
arrangements. If the request is from an agency outside
the Intelligence Community, the Director of Training will
recommend action to the Executive Director-Comptroller,
and execute the decision made. The Director of Training
will inform the Assistant to the Director of all requests
received and actions taken. When a request cites a specific,

and subsequent action with the Deputy Director who has
primary interest in the subject matter cited or super-
visory responsibility over the officer named in the
request.
b. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS
(1) Requests from Universities or Academic Groups are sent
to the Director of Training for response.
(a) If the group can attend a briefing at Headquarters
or at a location in the Washington area selected
or approved by the Agency, and if no compelling
reason for refusal can be ascertained by con-
sultation with the DD/I and other components as
appropriate, the request will be approved.
(b) If the group requests that the briefing take place
at the university, in open forum, or at public
premises, the request will in most cases be
refused. If in the judgment of the Director
of Training a request merits consideration for
an exception to this rule, he will, in coordination
with other interested components of the Agency,

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT
Report on the Agencyts Handling of Briefing
Requests from Academic Groups and Recommenda-
tions for Policies and Procedures
1. Requests from academic institutions and groups
for Agency briefings are not handled in a consistent
manner, and there is no central file to which one may turn
with confidence for a complete record of what groups were
briefed, when, by whom, and on what. In the absence of a
clear statement of Agency policy concerning briefings for
academic groups, each request tends to be treated on an
ad hoc basis. Historically, the Agency has not engaged
extensively in briefing non-governmental groups on its
mission. Exceptions to the general practice appear to
have been the result of personal contacts in which the
arrangements for the affair have been handled directly by
the officer concerned, or appear to have been experimental
to test the advantages of such briefing.

2. Non-governmental audiences that have received
briefings on the Agency include student, faculty, business,
service club, and professional groups. Most such briefings,
excepting the highly successful Brookings sessions for
business leaders, have been given away from Headquarters.
The 100 Universities Program, in abeyance since 1967, and
occasional individual appearances by officers in response to
specific invitations from service or university groups
account for most such briefings. In recent months there
has been an increase in the number of presentations given
at Headquarters. (See Appendix A for a listing, probably
partial, of briefings given since January 1967, compiled
from Executive Director-Comptroller, OTR, DD/I,

the present academic attitude toward the U.S. government
in general and the CIA in particular. The regulation
contains no statement of Agency policy with respect to
briefing requests from university groups, and it assigns to
the Director of Training responsibility for providing
speakers. The regulation also commits the speaker to a
text previously prepared and coordinated by others; this

8. These, and other changes, are incorporated in a

9. REQUESTS FOR CIA OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. CIA Is
often requested to supply guest speakers for public functions of non-Government
-organizations and groups, such as business and professional organizations, civic
organizations, and universities, as well as to regularly provide guest speakers
for schools and colleges operated by the Department of Defense and for other
Government training activities. In order to designate a central point of admin-
istrative control for the various types of requests for speakers, the following
procedures shall be followed:
a. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS. Requests for CIA officials
to speak before non-Government groups shall be forwarded promptly to the
Assistant to the Director who will review them and recommend action to the
Executive Director-Comptroller.
(1) If the request is approved by the Executive Director-Comptroller, the
. Assistant to the Director will choose the text of the presentation and will
refer the request to the Director of Training to select a speaker and arrange
for his appearance. Several prepared texts which have previously been
coordinated with the Director of Training, the Director of Security, and
the Assistant to the Director will be available for use. The text chosen
by the Assistant to the Director in each instance will require no further
coordination or approval unless there is to be a significant departure from
its contents.
(2) If the request is not approved by The Executive Director-Comptroller, the
Assistant to the Director will inform the requester and the Director of
Training.
b. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OUTSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests for guests speakers which come from Government
sources outside the Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director
of Training who will review them and recommend action to the Executive
Director-Comptroller. A copy of the recommendation will be forwarded to
the Assistant to the Director. If the request is approved by the Executive DI-
rector-Comptroller, the Director of Training will take the necessary action;
if not approved, he will advise the requester.
? e.' REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHIN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests for guest speakers which come from members of the
Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director of Training who
will take appropriate action and inform the Assistant to the Director of the
action taken.. No approval is needed with respect to such a request unless it
presents a question of policy or the Director of Training recommends to the
Executive Director-Comptroller that the request be denied.
This paragraph does not affect the requirements coll=concern-
the outside activities of Agency employees.

9. REQUESTS FOR AGENCY OFFICIALS TO LECTURE ON THE AGENCY
AND ITS MISSION. The Agency provides guest speakers for
presentations at facilities operated by members of the
Intelligence Community and at facilities of agencies outside
the Community. It also provides speakers for presentations
to non-Government groups such as business, professional, and
civic organizations and universities. This paragraph outlines
procedures for fulfilling requests for presentations on such
general questions as the role of intelligence and the mission
of the Agency. It does not affect requirements of
or concerning outside activities of Agency employees.
a. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHIN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests from the Intelligence Community are
sent to the Director of Training for action, which
includes notifying the Assistant to the Director of
the action taken.
b. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OUTSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests from Government agencies outside
the Intelligence Community are sent to the Director of
Training who recommends action to the Executive Director-
Comptroller. The Director of Training also sends a copy

Approved For Rel'eaSe 2000/08/18 : CIA-RDP86B00V65R000400080002-9
of the recommendation to the Assistant to the Director.
If the request is approved by the Executive Director-
Comptroller, the Director of Training completes the
necessary action; if the request is disapproved, the
Director of Training informs the requester of the
disapproval. Requests from Government agencies often ,
ask for a speaker by name, or are addressed directly to
an individual officer. In 'electing speakers, the
Director of Training will take into account any pref-
erences expressed in the request.
c. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS
(1) Requests from Universities or Academic Groups are
sent to the Deputy Director for Intelligence.
(a) If the group can attend a briefing at Head-
quarters or at a location in the Washington
area selected or approved by the Agency, and
if no compelling reason for refusal can be
ascertained, the request will be approved.
The Deputy Director for Intelligence will
select a speaker and, with the support of the
Offices of Logistics, Security and Training,
make the necessary physical arrangements for
the briefing.

the Agency, present a recommendation for exception
to the Executive Director-Comptroller.
(c) The Deputy Director for Intelligence will provide
copies of significant correspondence on all requests
for briefings of academic groups to the Executive
Director-Comptroller, the Assistant to the Director,
the Director of Training, and the Director of
Security for their information.
(2) Requests from Other Non-Government Groups are sent to
the Assistant to the Director who recommends action to
the Executive Director-Comptroller.
(a) If the request is approved the Assistant to the
Director, in coordination with the Deputy Director

MEIVIORANDIM FOR; Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT ; Handling of Briefing Requests from
Academic Groups
I. There are indications that current Agency
procedures for handling briefing requests from academic
groups are diverse and inconsistent. This situation is
perhaps abetted by the absence of an explicit Agency
policy expressed in Headquarters Regulations for the
handling of this increasingly sensitive and important
category of Agency contacts.
2. It is clear that well-conducted and frank
discussions of the Agency and its general mission, and
of the research? analysis, and estimative functions by
high-ranking Agency officials contributes significantly
to better understanding of the Agency and of intelligence,
and opens new perspectives to university students con-
templating their future careers. In the interest of
general academic relations and to aid in attracting young
men and women to careers in intelligence,, procedures
for Agency presentations to academic groups should be
reviewed and refined.

3. The activities which can be discussed with
university groups are primarily matters related to the
responsibilities of the Directorate of Intelligence. For
this reason I ask that you review the problem of the
Agency's handling of briefing requests from academic
groups and, after consulting with other interested com-
ponents, recommend the actions necessary to establish
clear and effective Agency policy and procedures.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
SUBJECT
11 December 1968
Ed Proctor,
Assistant Deputy Director for Intelligence
Handling of University Groups Requesting
CIA Briefing
1. There is some background to the adverse fallout
25X1A experienced during a recent OER recruiting session
at the Fletcher Scheel (Tufts). Student groups from
Fletcher. were briefed at Headquarters for several years
as a result of personal arrangements by Lyman Kirkpatrick.
The last yisit, in 1967, was shortly after the Ramparts
NSA expose. Consequently, according to OTR sources,
"someone in the Director's office or the Executive Direc-
tor's office decided that the group should not be briefed
on Agency premises." They ended up at Ft. Myer. Under-
standably, the Fletcher people felt "put off." They did
not request a briefing in 1968.
2.- Briefings for visiting university groups are
handled in a remarkably diverse manner, considering the
existence of a governing regulation and the fact that rela-
tively few groups are briefed. In 1968, for example, OTR
records indicate that only four student groups were briefed
at Headquarters. These included two legitimate university
groups (from Syracuse and Colgate), one group from something
called Monrovian College, and a Maryland high school group.
In addition, the DWI met with a Princeton group--I made
the arrangements after the Princeton request was OKed by
the DCI and DD/I. What remarkable logic led to affirmative
gestures to this varied collection?
3. I am certain that other university groups were
briefed at Headquarters during 1968 under a variety of
auspices. In addition to group briefings at Headquarters,
Approved For Release 2000108118 : CIA-RpP86B00985R000400080002-9

Approved For Release.2000/08/16 : CCA-RDP8613%9851Z000400080002-9
from time to time the Agency provides speakers for inter-
ested groups, some of which are university groups. r leitve
no count,, of the number of such cases, but they are more
numerous than briefings conducted at Headquarters.
4. The governing regulation 411111111 copy attached)
provides that requests for Agency speakers to non-government
groups be forwarded to the Assistant to the Director (Jake
Goodwin) for reviewand recommendation and thence to the
Executive Director-Comptroller for decision. If the request
is approved, the Assistant to the Director chooses a speech
from his library of canned presentations and the Director
of training selects the speaker and makes whatever physical
arrangements are necessary. Obviously, this procedure is
often short circuited.
- 5. I find three weaknesses in the procedure insofar
as treatment of university groups is concerned.
a. There is no policy with respect to requests
from university groups; consequently, each case is an
ad hoc affair. Decisions are made, apparently, on
IEs-Bitsis of the climate of the moment and there is
no common point where all cases come together to be ]I
handled in a rationalized manner and with a sense of('
program continuity. I.
b. The involvement of three top-ranking officials
in such matters is an extravagant use of time. Handling
of requests for briefing (and briefing) of university
groups, under an established policy, ought not to engage
the personal attention of the Executive Director-
Comptroller. The Assistant to the Director's primary
concern is public media, not student groups. And why
the Director of Training should be deemed to have any
special competence to pick Agency speakers for visiting
university groups eludes me, particularly since such
briefings would consist largely of presentations con-
cerning DWI activities.

c. The regulation requires that presentations be
drawn from "several prepared texts" which have been
previously coordinated. In my experience the pre-
fabricated speeches are excessively dull and usually
counter-productive. Moreover, they do not provide
gui guidance for the kinds of subject matter and questions
on the minds of university groups. If the Agency
responds favorably to requests for university groups
for Agency presentations, it should provide stimulating,
knowledgeable, and responsible speakers and permit them
flexibility and opportunity for informative exchange.
S. I believe that it has been amply demonstrated that
well-conducted and frank discussion of the Agency and its
general mission and of the research, analysis, and estimative
functions by high-ranking Agency officials contributes
significantly to better understanding of the Agency and of
Intelligence and opens new perspectives to university students
contemplating their future careers. In the interest of
general public relations and to aid in attracting young men
and women to careers in intelligence, procedures for Agency
presentations should be refined and regularized.
7. RECOMMENDATIONS:
a. A policy concerning Agency presentations to
university groups visiting Washington should be
established. The policy should be based upon positive
receptivity to requests for Agency presentations from
university groups, especially those with special
interests in international studies or the social
sciences.
b. should be altered to separate out,
in a special paragraph or regulation, treatment of
requests and briefings of university groups (student
or mixed student-faculty).

c. Handling requests from such groups and the
actual presentations should be routinized, but not
permitted to become a matter of simple routine.
d? Responding to requests and arranging presenta-
tions should be part of the function of the DD/I's
Coordinator for Academic Relations or some other
appropriate officer within the DD/I because the
activities which can be discussed with university
groups are primarily DD/I matters. Presentations
in all possible cases should be made at Headquarters,
either in the Auditorium or an appropriate conference
room for smaller groups.
e. Special care must be taken to match speaker
and presentation to the interests and nature of the
group. As a matter of general practice, principal
speakers should be of the highest rank, consistent
with demands on their time and the nature of the
group. M counterpoint, younger officers (CTs for
example) ought to be used for supplemental or special
presentations.

9. REQUESTS FOR CIA OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. CIA Is
often requested to supply guest speakers for public functions of non-Government
organizations and groups, such as business and professional organizations, civic
organizations, and universities, as well as to regularly provide guest speakers
for schools and colleges operated by the Department of Defense and for other
Government training activities. In order to designate a central point of admin-
istrative control for the various types of requests for speakers, the following
procedures shall be followed:
a. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS. Requests for CIA officials
to speak before non-Government groups shall be forwarded promptly to the
Assistant to the Director who will review them and recommend action to the
- Executive Director-Comptroller.
(1) If the request Is approved by the Executive Director-Comptroller, the
Assistant to the Director will choose the text of the presentation and will
refer the request to the Director of Training to select a speaker and arrange
for his appearance. Several prepared texts which have previously been
coordinated with the Director of Training, the Director of Security, and
the Assistant to the Director will be available for use. The text chosen
by the Assistant to the Director in each instance will require no further
- coordination or approval unless there is to be a significant departure from
its contents.
(2) If the request is not approved by the Executive Director-Comptroller, the
Assistant to the Director will inform the requester and the Director of
Training.
? b. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OUTSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests for guests speakers which come from Government ?
sources outside the Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director
of Training who will review them and recommend action to the Executive
Director-Comptroller. A copy of the recommendation will be forwarded to
the Assistant to the Director. If the request is approved by the Executive Di-
rector-Comptroller, the Director of Training will take the necessary action;
if not approved, he will advise the requester.
et. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHIN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. Requests for guest speakers which come from members of the
Intelligence Community shall be forwarded to the Director of Training who
will take appropriate action and inform the Assistant to the Director of the
action taken. No approval is needed with respect to such a request unless it
. presents a question of policy or the Director of Training recommends to the
Executive Director-Comptroller that the request be denied.

? POLICY GUIDE GOVERNING UNOFFICIAL
PUBLIC APPEARANCES AND OPEN PUBLICATION
' BY CIA. EMPLOYEES
1 ? GENERAL
a. This policy guide is intended to assist employees in connection
- with requests to speak publicly and to write for open'pdblica-
tion in furtherance of private, nongovernmental interests, and
also to assist supervisors and reviewing and approving authorities
in reaching decisions on such requests.
b. Within essential limitations imposed by security and propriety,
there is ample latitude to permit employees to engage in private,
nongovernmental activities, to appear in public, and to write for
publication. Employees are encouraged to hold memberships in and
attend meetings of academic, scientific, and professional associa-
tions, to participate actively in discussions, and to present and
publish papers in their professional and academic fields of
specialization.
c. Given the wide range of Agency activities and the diversity of
cover situations among employees, as well as the equally diverse
areas of professional and private interests of our employees, it
- is virtually impossible to present a simple, all-encompassing rule
to govern participation in these pursuits. It is possible, however,
to set down certain basic principles and criteria against which
each case may be evaluated with respect to the employee, the subject
- matter, and the procedural details. These principles and criteria
apply equally to all persons with whom CIA has an employer-employee
-relationship, to staff employees and staff agents, assignees from
other agencies, contract employees, and career agents.
d. Agency employees are reminded that the Agency has proprietary
rights over information and opinions derived and developed by an
employee by virtue of his Agency employment.
2. POLICY

b. Permit activities by employees such as public speaking and writing
for open publication if there is reasonable assurance:
(1) that the cover of the individual will not be impaired;
(2) that classified information, methods, or sources will not
be disclosed to unauthorized individuals or groups; and
(3)
that publicity reflecting adversely upon the Agency will
not result.
c. .Permit the identification of an employee with CIA in the making
of a public speech or in writing for open publication when such
identification is desired, is in the interests of the Agency,
and is not in conflict with security considerations.
3. THE AGENCY EMPLOYEE
a. The overt employee with no history of cover and no foreseeable
likelihood of cover in the future is free to speak or write, pro-
vided the speech or article is prepared on his own time and does
not interfere with his normal duties and if the other Provisions
of this guide are satisfied. Within this context the employee is
free to identify himself as an Agency employee and should do so
where there is any possibility of the Agency being criticized for
his not having done so.- If the medium in which he appears does
not normally identify the place of employment of its authors or
participants, the normal procedure of the medium should be followed.
25X1C
b. An employee who is under formal backstopped or cover
may not write for open publication or speak before any group or
public gathering if such action is inconsistent with or contrary
to the policies of his cover organization or arrangement. Approval
of his cover supervisor must be obtained, and he may not identify
with CIA or discuss information developed in his CIA role.
c. An employee who is not currently under cover but who has been under
cover in the past, or is likely to go under cover in the future, or
whose association with the Agency should be protected for any reason
may not speak or write publicly when Such activity could compromise
past or future cover operations or associations or otherwise inhibit
or reduce the value of the individual's past or future service with
the Agency.
4. SUBJECT MATTER

(2) Speeches or publications dealing with sensitive foreign
policy issues (including military) must be avoided,

construed as a CIA position or opinion. Utterances dealing
with foreign governments or with controversial subjects ?
which might embarrass the U.S. Government must also be
avoided.
(3)
Speeches or publications on matters clearly unrelated to
Agency activities--music, science fiction, horticulture,
ceramics, for example?,will also be guided by the general
principles of this paper.
b. ..g.2s.u..2,1,t_z
The material must be unclassified and drawn from unclassified
sources available to other researchers not affiliated with CIA
and-must not in any way disclose sources or methods unique to

for utterance must be appropriate, in good taste, and not likely
to reflect adversely on the Agency or to bring public or.
Congressional criticismon the Agency.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES
a. The primary responsibility for adhering to the policy and princi-
ples set forth lies with the employee who should know best his
cover status, the source and possible impact of his material, and
the propriety of its utterance.
b. Following the supervisory chain of command, the Head of Independent
Office or Operating Official responsible for the employee shall
share the responsibility for compliance with the policy and princi-
ples set forth in this guide, will provide advice and guidance to

be forwarded to the Executive Director-Comptroller for action.
The Executive Director-Comptroller will appoint a panel chairman

6. EXCEPTIONS
Requests for exceptions to these statements of policy will be considered
only in the most unusual case and must be supported by appropriate
documentation.
7. PROCEDURES
a. Requests to engage in the stated private, nongovernmental activities
will be prepared in memorandum form (replacing Form 879, Outside
Activity Approval Request, for this purpose). The memorandum will
set forth the pertinent data (identification of the meeting and the
nature of the employee's participation, or the publisher or medium
as applicable) together with explanation and description which will
brief approving officers on the background and context of the
activity.
b. Requests will be forwarded with copies of the speech, paper, or
manuscript concerned (if ready, otherwise to follow when ready)
to the Head of Independent Office or Operating Official concerned,
who will endorse the request appropriately and forward the request
and material to the Director of Security.
c. Under these procedures, the employee and the Head of Independent
Office or Operating Official concerned will provide a fuller account
in writing of the nature and circumstances of the activity for which
approval is sought and, thus, give the Director of Security and the
Assistant to the Director more particulars and counsel. These pro-
cedures will permit, when required, preliminary approval to engage
in an activity--prior to the preparation and submission of a
pertinent manuscript. Of necessity, final approval will be contin-
gent upon further concurrences and the review of the manuscript.

SUBJECT: Revision of on Requests
for Agency Officials as Guest
Speakers
REMARKS:
This is OTR's baby. They have
tightened up the language and re-
ordered the paragraphs of the existing
HR to give the appearance of placing
more emphasis on providing guest
speakers for other members of the
Intelligence Community.
There is no change in substance
from the earlier HR. I have no
problems, except mild horror at the
stipulation that Jake Goodwin selects
the texts for presentations outside
the Agency. I assume this is part of
Jake's franchise, and that he would
be influenced by our recommendations.
Is this acceptable to you?

MEMORANDUM FOR: DDI Administrative Staff
AT
SUBJECT : Comment on Proposed Revision of
"Requests for Agency
Officials as Guest Speakers"
1. From the viewpoint of the Directorate of Intelligence
this notice is incomplete and, therefore, possibly misleading
with respect to the position taken in sub-paragraph 9, C,
"Requests from Non-Government Groups. "
2. The procedures outlined in both the original regu-
lation and the proposed change should be reworded more
precisely to make clear that the procedures do not apply to
substantive presentations. In the latter cases, the Director
of Training and the Assistant to the Director, with all due
respect, do not have the competence or authority to select
either texts or speakers.
3. In the most common example of such cases, a
request received by an individual in the Directorate of Intel-
ligence must obtain the approval of his Office Director, the
DDI, the Director of Security, and the Assistant to the Director.
In most such cases, the substantive Office Director selects the
speaker. The text is usually approved at the Division or Area
Chief level.
4. I have the impression that the speaking engagements
addressed in are largely confined to public relations
or orientation briefings on the Agency's organization, mission,
and function.

5. If others agree that is vague, the problem
could be corrected easily by spelling out precisely the type
of requests the HR is meant to cover. We can't buy the
present language if it is meant to apply across the board.

SUBJECT
? ^ KO Comment on Proposed Revision of
Requests for Agency Officials as Guest Speakers
1. The proposed revision is more straightforward and
easier to understand than its predecessor.
2. I have no problems with subparagraphs (a) "Requests
from Government Agencies Within the Intelligence Community",
and (b) "Requests from Government Agencies Outside the
Intelligence Community."
3. Subparagraph (c) "Requests from Non-Government
Groups", is tolerable, but I should like to bring up four
points in connection with it.
a. The paragraph does not take account of the fact
that quite a number of invitations to speak are addressed
to specific individual officers.
b. The draft does not seem to take account of
participation in the activities of a professional
association such as presenting papers, serving as a
discussant on a panel or as a panel chairman.
c. I know not what course others might take, but
I would refuse an invitation to speak if I were required
to deliver a talk selected for presentation from a file
of canned speeches.
d. I note also that the Office of Training is made
the selection body for speakers. I am not convinced
that the Office of Training has any special competence
to select appropriate or effective speakers.
4. These are general observations. I have no specific
wording changes to suggest.

SUBJECT : Requests for CIA Officials as Guest Speakers
1. I should like to request that Deputy Directors and Heads of
Independent Offices take appropriate steps in their respective com-
ponents to ensure strict compliance with the procedures outlined in
Headquarters Regulation Compliance has recently been lax
and the situation needs to be brought under better control.
2. CIA unquestionably has a number of able speakers who are
knowledgeable of a wide variety of subjects, and it is understandable
that these individuals and the Agency receive many requests to
address various groups. When such a request is received directly
by an individual or component, the Office Head should in the first
instance take a position on the propriety of acceptance. Generally,
the following criteria should apply:
a. There should be some net gain to the Agency or at
least a good reason why CIA should provide the speaker.
b. The meeting should be private, not public. There
should be no publicity in connection with the appearance
and no attribution even though speaking on an unclassified
topic.

3. It goes without saying that such appearances must be
consistent with good security practices. The policy considerations,
however, are of equal importance. Obviously, a speaker who makes
a good impression enhances the Agencyts public posture. This must
be weighed against the possibility that the Agency will be criticized
for allegedly attempting to influence public opinion or for otherwise
engaging in activities not germane to its functions.

r+9. REQUESTS FOR AGENCY OFFICIALS AS GUEST SPEAKERS. The
Agency provides guest speakers for presentations at facilities operated by mem-
bers of the Intelligence Community and at facilities of agencies outside the
Community. It also provides speakers for presentations ,'tqi non-Government
? groups such as business, professional, and civic organizations and universities.
This paragraph outlines procedures for fulfilling requests for Agencf 'speakers.
It does not affect requirements of oncerning outside ac-
tivities of Agency employees, nor does it alter the provisions of IMEMIcon-
cerning the Agency's briefing and debriefing of U.S. Government officials who
are assigned overseas or who travel overseas.
a. REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are sent to the Director of
Training. If the request is from within the Intelligence Community the Di-
? rector of Training will make the necessary arrangements. If the request is from
an agency outside the Intelligence Community, the Director of Training will
recommend action to the Executive Director-Comptroller, and execute the
decision made. The Director of Training will inform the Assistant to the Di-
? rector of all requests received and actions taken. The Director of Training will
coordinate action with the Deputy Director or Head of Independent Office
concerned whenever a request cites by name a speaker who is under the super-
vision of a Deputy Director or a Head of Independent Office, or whenever a
specific substantive intelligence question of primary interest to a Deputy Di-
rector or Head of Independent Office is to be covered in the briefing.
b. REQUESTS FROM NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS
(1) REQUESTS FROM UNIVERSITIES OR ACADEMIC GROUPS are sent to
the Director of Training for response.
(a) If the group can attend a briefing at Headquarters Building or at a
location in the Washington area selected or approved by the Agency,
and positive benefits to the Agency appear likely and at the same
time no compelling reason for refusal can be ascertained by the DDI
and other components as appropriate, the request will be approved.
(b) If the group requests that the briefing take place at the university,
in open forum, or at public premises, the request will in most cases
be refused. If in the judgment of the Director of Training a request
merits consideration for an exception to this rule, he will, in coordi-
nation with other interested components of the Agency, present a
recommendation for exception to the Executive Director-Comptroller.
(c) The Director of Training, in cognizance of the special relationship
being developed with the academic community by the DDI, will co-
ordinate the selection of speakers and program arrangements for
academic groups with the DDI.
(d) The Director of Training will provide copies of significant corres-
pondence on all requests for briefings of academic groups to the Ex-
ecutive Director-Comptroller, the DDI, the Assistant to the Director,
and the Director of Security for their information.
(2) REQUESTS FROM OTHER NON-GOVERNMENT GROUPS are sent to the
Director of Training, who recommends action to the Executive Director-
Comptroller. If the request is approved, the Director of Training, in co-
ordination with the Assistant to the Director and the Director of Security,
will make arrangements for the presentation and select a speaker. If the
presentation is to be on a substantive intelligence question, the Director
of Training will coordinate the response and subsequent action with the
Deputy Director who has primary interest in the subject matter or su-
pervisory responsibility over the speaker requested or selected.

telephone calls meet with designated deadlines, etc.,
reservations for appropriate briefing room made, and
that clearances are in order. The Special Assistant
has met the groups at Main Reception (or in
Washington, D.C. to escort them to Hdqts. and pro-
vide Agency transport).
