remainder. Some SSCI and HPSCI staffers may be present.
The Symposium will be closed to outsiders, and all attendees will have
SECRET clearances. Foreign nationals will not attend the session. According
to Colonel Pozza, the room is swept and then guards are posted.
3. Speech: You have been asked to speak for approximately 45 minutes,
and, if you wish, you can allow for five minutes of Questions and Answers.
After Colonel Pozza gives the opening remarks and Mr. Wood sets the theme,
General Weinstein will introduce you. A podium, mike, and neck mike will be
available on stage. Your speech will be taped for our records. The three
speakers preceding you will be seated in the front row of the audience. At
the end of your remarks, you will be presented with a memento.
