Mr. George F. Will
The Washington Post
1150 15th Street, N.W.
Washington, D. C. 20071
Several times a year, we invite distinguished guest
speakers to address some 300 to 500 employees of the Central
Intelligence Agency. Our objective is to improve our employees'
understanding of national and international issues as well as
to provide them an intellectual stimulus. Among recent guests
have been Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, Carl Sagan,
Art Buchwald, and Ambassador Vernon Walters. I believe the
program, now in its twelfth year, has been very successful.
I would be pleased if you could be our guest speaker here
at the CIA Headquarters. I suggest 30 September or 1 October
1986 but will be happy to accommodate your schedule if these
dates are not convenient.
The program normally consists of a lecture of
approximately 30 to 45 minutes, followed by a 20 to 30 minute
question period. Lectures are usually scheduled from 2:00 to
3:15 p.m. The guest speaker honorarium is $500. Your thoughts
about the Government and the Media, Arms Control, the Geneva
Summit, or any other topical issue of your choice, would be of
keen interest to our audience.
I hope you are able to accept this invitation.
our Dean of Conferences, will be pleased
to discuss any aspects of the arrangements with your staff.
