Thank you so much for the "rearranged" interview, March 6. We had
not expected Although the students were more reticent than
STATINTL for the whole rest of the week, they enjoyed the interview very much.
I heard a number of favorable comments. They were particularly struck
by the personal tone of the interview (Paul's comments about his children,
etc.).
As I indicated at that time, I am now in the process of setting up
interviews for Dr. James Zoetewey and the Hope College May Term. We
are having a day on National Security Tuesday, and would like
to visit CZA ;30. I will be back in touch with you on this matter
by mid April.
Again, many thanks.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Elder, Jr.

who will be visiting the Agency on the afternoon of January 20. As

On January 16th, students in the Hope College Washington Honors
Semester will arrive in a group 17 strong to commence the planned
program of interviews and internships. Students in past programs have
enjoyed interviews at the Central Intelligence Agency very much; this
year's group would like to have the same opportunity.
I have written a schedule for the group's interview sessions, and
the time blocked out for our visit to your office is on January 20th
from 1:00-2:00 p.m. This time awaits your confirmation.
Enclosed is our schedule and a topic for your talk or presentation.
I would appreciate hearing from you on this subject by the end of
November. Thank you for your cooperation.
