MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Director of Scientific and Weapons Research
SUBJECT: AIAA Conference Agenda and Attendees
1. Attached is the agenda and list of attendees for the joint
AIAA/CIA Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. The attendees are, for
the most part, senior analysts,, marketers, and mid-level managers
in the defense sector.
2. I am sorry I could not have provided this to you when you called
Saturday. The official list of attendees has been maintained at the
AIAA headquarters.
3. Total attendance will be about 500--400 paying participants
through the AIAA and about 100 free from the Intelligence Community.
4. As you can well imagine, a conference this size requires a lot
of administrative effort. We have been pleased and impressed with the
DDA's "can-do" attitude in making this conference possible.
