Mr. Roger B. Smith
Chairman, General Motors Corporation

Detroit, Michigan 48202
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 10 or 11 June 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 plus travel. Your thoughts about the
management of a multi-billion dollar entity, competing with the
Japanese in the automobile market, or any other topic of your
choice, would be of keen interest to our audience.
STAT I hope you are able to accept this invitation.
STAT our Dean of Conferences, will be pleased to discuss any
aspects of the arrangements with your staff. She can be reached at
