at your room at 1755 and walk with you to the Officers Club. General
Welch is unable to attend. The reception cocktail hour begins at 1800 and
dinner at 1845. Your speech is scheduled to begin at 2115. The suggested
format is 20 minutes of remarks and 10 minutes of questions and answers.
Your speech will be unclassified. Commander of the 544th Strategic
Intelligence Wing Colonel Harold (Dick) Neal will introduce you. You will
be seated at the head table with:
Maj. Gen. William Doyle SAC Deputy Chief of Staff, Intelligence
(on your left)
Col. George Lotz
Col. Dick Neal
Col. Owen Lentz
Deputy Chief of Staff, Intelligence
Assistant IN (Gen. Doyle)
544th Wing Commander
544th Vice Wing Commander
A podium, mike and neck mike will be located near the head table.
Your remarks will be taped for our records only. Prior to dinner at
approximately 1920, a visual presentation will be given on the evolution
of intelligence.
The audience of about 250 are USAF officers assigned to the 544th Wing
or SAC Intelligence. Neither foreign nationals, members of the media or
spouses will be present. However, an Air Force photographer will be
present. Since your visit is not a public event, the Air Force newspaper
AIR PULSE will not carry a story prior to your arrival. Any coverage
carried after your appearance will be cleared by our Public Affairs
Office. The Dining-In is a formal dinner function for members of an
organization or unit. It is derived from very old tradition in England,
not exclusively military. U.S. Army Air Corps personnel adopted the
practice of the Dining-In when they were associated with the British
during World War II. General "Hap" Arnold started the Dining-In in the
Army Air Corps with his famous "wing-dings." Deputy Director John McMahon
spoke at the 1983 Dining-In and Vice Commander of SAC General William
Campbell spoke last year.

The Dining-In combines ceremony, tradition, and good fellowship in a
formal military framework. Attached are two Dining-In programs from
previous years events. In the 30 November 1982 program, appropriate
toasts and responses are listed on pages 6 and 7 and the Rules of the
Mess, pages 27 and 28. The programs also contain the biographies of the
guest speaker, the President of the mess, and Madam or Mister Vice. The
duties of Mister and Madam Vice include serving as a master or mistress of
ceremonies and parliamentarian, and the individuals will be different from
those mentioned in the 30 November program. (See background material tab
for the Dining-In Agenda.)
game and the rules of the mess are purposely complicated to make the
individual forget the appropriate protocol. You are not expected to
participate in this. By the end of the evening, most distinguished guests
leave, and, the young officers continue to do "penance by partaking of one
of the two water buckets otherwise known as the Grog bowl."
The 544th Strategic Intelligence Wing is the most decorated wing in
the Air Force and is the principal intelligence production organization of
the Strategic Air Command (SAC). The Wing generates all-source
intelligence and related products to support the aerospace forces and
military planning responsibilities assigned to the Command, to support the
Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff (JSTPS), and to support other Offutt
Complex activities. A history of the 544th wing is included under
background materials.
