The Honorable
William J. Casey
Director of Intelligence,
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
I am pleased to confirm that the Foreign Service
Institute's Senior Seminar wishes to visit the Central
Intelligence Agency on Wednesday, March 18, 1987, as
part of our discussion unit on the role of intelligence
in foreign policy.
one of the CIA - STAT
tives in the Seminar, will be working with STAT
of your Office of Training and Education to arrange our
visit to CIA. The Seminar Members are to meet the
Directors of the Operations and Intelligence Directorates,
and with the Chairman of the National Intelligence Council.
A luncheon is to be hosted by Mr. Gates with senior managers
of CIA present. We hope that you will be able to make a
few minutes available from your busy schedule to provide
some opening remarks to the Seminar Members that Wednesday
morning.
The Seminar is the most senior executive development
program for career officials of the United States Government.
Members are chosen on a highly selective basis by their
respective agencies. The ten-month program has been con-
ducted annually since 1958. This year's Seminar is composed
of 26 men and women, over half of whom are Foreign Service
Officers. The others are representatives of government
departments and agencies with foreign affairs responsibili-
ties, plus five uniformed Services.

THE SENIOR SEMINAR
FOREIGN SERVICE INSTITUTE ? DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Twenty-Ninth Session
September 2, 1986 - June 12, 1987
INFORMATION SHEET FOR GUEST SPEAKERS
The Senior Seminar is the most advanced executive devel-
opment program for career officials of the United States
Government. Founded in the Department of State in 1958,
the Seminar brings together highly-selected senior federal
executives from agencies which have an interest in foreign
affairs and national security matters. During an academic
year, members explore the assumptions which underlie national
policy and examine major issues confronting our society and how
these issues interact with our national interests abroad.
The Twenty-ninth Session of The Senior Seminar is composed
of 12 Members from the Department of State and the others from
the United States Information Agency, the Agency for Inter-
national Development, the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Intelligence Community Staff, the
National Security Agency, and five uniformed Services. Members
rank from Civil Service GS-15 to GS-18 or equivalent in the
Foreign Service or military.
As the name implies, the Seminar method relies primarily on
a colloquy between its Members and distinguished guest speakers
who guide the dialogue that animates this ten-month program. It
is to them that the Seminar largely owes its reputation as a
unique educational experience. Complementing the speakers'
program, the Members engage in intensive reading, extensive
travel within the United States, Seminar discussions and
Individual Research Projects.
Seminar Meetings
Seminar meetings normally begin at 9:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m.,
last about two hours, and are quite informal. One of the
Members acts as chairperson for the meeting, introduces the
speaker, and moderates the discussion period. Speakers set
the framework for the discussion in an opening talk of some
30-40 minutes. Following a coffee break, the Speaker and the
Members reassemble for questions, answers and a general exchange
of views.
Audio-visual aids can be provided if requested in advance
by the speaker.

Seminar meetings with guest speakers are privileged, closed
to the press and the public, and are entirely off the record.
All Members hold Top Secret and SI/TK clearances.
Location
The Seminar occupies Suite 1209 on the 12th floor of the
Foreign Service Institute (Department of State Annex 3) at
1400 Key Boulevard, Arlington (Rosslyn area), Virginia 22209,
(see map attached - building 12).
The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) is a five-minute drive
from the main building of the Department of State, and 20
minutes from National Airport. There is a METRO stop two blocks
away from FSI at Rosslyn Center and a free shuttle bus service
operates every 15 minutes between the North Entrance (D Street)
of the Department of State in Washington and the FSI in Rosslyn.
Parking
Parking space is available in the building for speakers who
drive their own cars. The garage entrances--"C and D"-- are on
the Nash Street side of the FSI. Speakers should inform the
attendant that they will be speaking to The Senior Seminar; they
will be given a special visitor's parking ticket, half of which
is placed on the car. The other half should be presented at the
Seminar for completion and stamping, and should be returned to
the parking attendant upon departure from the parking area.
