AFIO Officers Named to Key Positions
in US Intelligence Structure
Casey and Blake Back on Firing Line
The new administration of Ronald Reagan has reached into the AFIO roster and named William J.
Casey, a member of our Board of Directors, as its choice for the number one job in the community, Director
of Central Intelligence. Meantime, it became known that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, whose
new chairman is Senator Barry Goldwater (Rep. Ariz.), has chosen our recent President and Executive
Director, John F. Blake, to be director of the staff
William J. Casey's most recent association with
intelligence was as a member of the President's
Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board under Presi-
dent Ford. His most complete exposure to intelli-
gence work came during World War II when he
joined OSS and rapidly rose to a senior operations
position in London, from where he directed covert
collection operations into occupied Europe. Joseph
Persico, the historian who wrote the authoritative
account of these operations called Piercing the
Reich, says, "In Casey, OSS had a man with an
analytical mind, a tenacious will and a capacity to
generate high morale among his staff. He delegated
authority easily to trusted subordinates and set a
simple standard - results." As most readers know,
Casey was also Ronald Reagan's campaign mana-
ger and has served in the last two Republican
administrations in such varied assignments as
Chairman of the SEC, Under-Secretary of State for
Economic Affairs and President of the Export-
Import Bank. Prior to re-entering the government
service, Mr. Casey practiced tax law in New York
and made his fortune writing highly successful tax
manuals and offering tax advice.
Mr. Casey's appointment was generally wel-
comed by veterans of the intelligence community.
Former DCI William E. Colby called the choice "a
very good one" and John E. Bross has been quoted
as stating that Mr. Casey makes "an ideal choice for
the job."
John F. Blake, as members know, just retired
after a year occupying two of the top positions in
AFIO. In gratitude for his services he was awarded
the Association's Certificate of Distinguished Ser-
vice. Prior to that he spent 34 years without a break
in the intelligence community, first in OSS and then
with CIA. In the latter organization his final assign-
ment was Deputy Director for Administration. He
also served as Acting Deputy Director for a period
of nine months. He therefore takes over his new
responsibilities with excellent credentials and the
confidence of all those who have worked with him
over the years.
AFIO wishes the best of luck to both of our
distinguished alumni and is confident that the work
of the intelligence community will benefit greatly
from these two excellent appointments.
Vice Admiral Daniel Murphy addresses AFIO's luncheon,
December 5, 1980. Admiral Murphy made an eloquent
plea for "more robustness and resilience in our intelli-
gence collection . . ." He summed up by saying, "I feel
that if we are to sustain our vital Intelligence effort
against our principal Communist adversaries and at the
same time assume new intelligence challenges in the
third world, we must consider increasing the level of
effort and resources which we devote to intelligence."

A Periscope Comment
Opposition Blues
When we try to look into the near future of
American intelligence, we must like most of what
we see. The 97th Congress is expected to be not
only more conservative than its predecessor, but -
which is less than automatic - more supportive of
an effective, and necessarily less inhibited, intelli-
gence effort. The political climate began to get
warmer even before the 1980 election made it
official. The CIA, in particular, may take comfort
from seeing its director, for the first time in history,
acquire cabinet level status.
Nonetheless, it is too early to be certain just
how our intelligence establishment will fare under
its new aegis. For one thing, the design is still
emerging. For another, fate has a habit of dealing
harshly with designs and prognostications, particu-
larly in an era where so much depends on unfore-
seeable developments and where no nation can
claim real control of powerful political forces. We
shall have to wait a while before we know all the
questions, not to mention the answers.
This, of course, does not suffice to put our
predictive impulses to rest. We have let them lead
us to examine another dimension: the perspective
shown by some of the intelligence establishment's
domestic adversaries. Their projections have turned
out to be quite interesting. Our congenital critics
and anti-establishmentarians continue to travel
their different roads - high, medium and low - to
remarkably compatible destinations. At this point,
the matter of greatest concern to all of them is the
specter of an effective intelligence identities pro-
tection act - a law that would make it punishable to
identify intelligence personnel under cover if the
intent is to impair or impede the nation's foreign
intelligence activities. The concern is understand-
able. For one thing, among the various pro-
intelligence measures not yet enacted, the identi-
ties protection bill is the most imminent step now
anticipated. For another, such a law would be a
major manifestation - a symbol, if you will - of a
deeply feared change in national priorities - from
the protection of the right to disclose to the protec-
tion of the right to have a functioning government.
It would signal a shift from inhibiting parts of the
government to inhibiting willful sabotage of some
of its essential operations which has been some of
the opposition's stock in trade.
Thus a large-scale campaign against the legis-
lation is underway. But pessimism is pervading the
tents of the adversary camps. A law is expected to
pass; only its scope is in question. A major rear-
guard effort is being made to limit the law's provi-
sions to individuals who have had authorized access
to classified information - in effect, former intelli-
gence personnel; if the act applies to anyone else,
the nation is warned, it will be unconstitutional.
Some high-road travelers profess to have earnestly
searched for a "constitutional" bill to cover certain
other people - like, presumably, the Wolfs, Schaaps
and Rays of the Covert Action Information Bulletin
whose activities have demonstrated, more than
anything else, the need for anti-disclosure legisla-
tion in the first place. Predictably, they found none.
Others have gone so far as to call the disclosures
an "outrage" - as a prelude to the conclusion that
an anti-disclosure act would be even worse. The
same line has been followed by numerous editorials.
But there is recognition that "the passions of the
moment," as one critic chooses to put it, make
people lose sight of what he considers the unfortu-
nate precedents an anti-disclosure law would set.
Nor are the disclosure artists of the Covert Action
Information Bulletin very hopeful these days.
Deploring the "hypocrisy" of the media whose
reporters sought them out in the past but which are
denouncing them now, Bill Schaap sadly told a
sympathetic Village Voice interviewer: "Now all the
papers have come out against the bill except the
Washington Star. But it's a year too late. A year too
late."
Among other views worth noting is that of an
American Civil Liberties Union spokesman who
was "not encouraged" by the prospective FBI
charter: "We are far more skeptical now about
getting a balanced FBI charter that protects civil
liberties while advancing legitimate law enforce-
ment interests ..." And Victor Marchetti, co-author
of The Cult of Intelligence, declared in a book
review that ". . . the CIA is seeking to protect ... its
own hide, through laws that will amount to an
American version of the Official Secrets Act - or
worse." Now that's what we would call real
pessimism.
We should not leave our topic without assuring
you that, while the mood and tactics of the more
implacable intelligence critics have begun to change,
the nature of the criticism has not. American intelli-
gence is still depicted as the people's enemy, rather
than as one of its protectors; its activities are still
discussed as if they took place in a vacuum, without
foreign and domestic nuts to crack and foes to
worry about; the investigative and exposure craze
of the seventies is still presented as a triumph of
truth and justice, rather than as an exercise in
recklessness with foreseeably destructive effects.
Our critics will make sure, if anyone can, that the
days ahead will not be devoid of lively entertain-
ment for us all.

Revamping Intelligence
(Editor's Note: We reprint in its entirety the
following editorial from the Holyoke, Massachu-
setts Transcript-Telegram. The sentiments are well-
expressed and right on target. Before reading it, we
had never heard of the Transcript-Telegram. We
found it very reassuring that this quality of com-
ment and grasp of the essence of a complicated
issue is available in an unpretentious small-town
paper. An educated public is our best defense and
the Transcript-Telegram is certainly doing its part
toward that goal.)
There is already a great deal of pressure being
put on President-elect Ronald Reagan to reshape
our intelligence policies once he takes office.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to take a new look at
some of the ridiculous extremes we have gone to in
our frenzy over public disclosure of such informa-
tion. As it stands now, the CIA must inform eight
different committees of Congress if it wishes to
enter into a covert operation.
This, of course, belies the very word covert.
Intelligence work, by its nature, is very secret.
Congress, by its nature, is not.
There is no such thing as a secret in Congress.
If some congressman, scrambling for re-election,
thinks he can get a little publicity by "leaking"
something to the press, he'll do it without a moment's
hesitation. And the fact that it's an intelligence
secret won't make a shred of difference.
The Freedom of Information Laws require the
CIA to reveal, upon request of a citizen, anything
not specifically classified. What has developed,
according to agency officials is a "chilling effect"
on foreign sources of information. These sources,
never sure what's going to turn up in print, are
pretty leery of telling us anything. And no one can
blame them.
And without these sources, our intelligence
network becomes a little flimsy.
With today's world situation, we cannot afford
to operate with second-rate intelligence. The other
nations - particularly those who want to do us in -
are playing fast and hard. It is vital we do our best to
keep up with them.
While we don't wish to see some of the abuses
of the past revived, we do understand that inter-
national intelligence is a shady business to begin
with. To try and make it operate like any other
branch of government is not only silly, it's down-
right stupid and quite possibly dangerous.
The idealists who would have every intelligence
operation discussed beforehand in the press - or
worse still, debated in Congress - are living in a
dream world where the good guys wear white hats
and there are no bad guys.
International intrigue knows no bounds and,
while the days of cloak and dagger spying are
perhaps over, it is still a grimy business which
needs a great deal of secrecy to be effective.
If we are to be successful about it, we must be
realists. Other nations are and, unless we want
them to get the upper hand, we'd better realign our
thinking.
We need intelligence, just as we need the
foreign sources - including other governments -
who supply that information. We should do every-
thing possible to insure that we get that informa-
tion and that, once we have it, it is held confidential.

Memo From: Jack Maury
Subject: Assistance to
Professor Thomas Hammond
Professor Thomas T. Hammond of the
University of Virginia is an old personal friend
and has done some outstanding work in con-
nection with problems of common concern.
He is now researching and writing a book on
the Communist takeovers of the 1970's (in
Afghanistan, South Yemen, Angola, Ethiopia,
Laos, South Vietnam, and Cambodia). He
would like very much to interview AFIO mem-
bers and others who are knowledgeable about
these takeovers. He would also be very grate-
ful for permission to copy any papers, docu-
ments, clippings, reports, etc. that they may
have on how the Communists seized power in
these countries. He may be reached at:

Silver Spring, MD 20910
Phone: [phone]
I'm sure any help we can give him will be of
service to our common cause.

Resolutions Adopted by Convention '80
The following four resolutions were also
adopted but were omitted from our last issue
for reasons of space.
RESOLUTION ON THE PBS PROGRAM
"ON COMPANY BUSINESS"
WHEREAS the Public Broadcasting System, in
cooperation with, and providing compensation to,
Philip Agee, did air a highly inaccurate and biased
three-part program on American intelligence titled,
"On Company Business"; and
WHEREAS a portion of the cost of producing
the program was public money appropriated by
Congress with the requirement that it be expended
to provide the public with unbiased and balanced
programming; and
WHEREAS the PBS advertised and in other
ways represented the program as a scholarly and
responsible overview of the CIA's history and major
contribution to the on-going debate on the CIA's
past, present and future; and
WHEREAS the PBS program did not identify
the notorious defector, Philip Agee, and his views
on Communism, but simply stated he was a former
employee of the CIA;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association of
Former Intelligence Officers, in convention assem-
bled on October 4, 1980 calls upon the Congress to
investigate this deplorable misuse of public funds
and to institute checks which will preclude future
use of public money to present misleading material
designed to undermine the national security.
RESOLUTION ON PRESIDENT'S
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY BOARD
WHEREAS, in 1956, the President of the United
States, pursuant to a recommendation of the second
Hoover Commission, established a Board whose
members were appointed by him from among per-
sons outside the Government on the basis of their
ability, experience, and knowledge of matters relat-
ing to the national defense and security; and
WHEREAS the purpose of this Board, ultimately
renamed the President's Foreign Intelligence Advi-
sory Board (PFIAB), was to advise the President on
a continuing basis concerning the effectiveness of
the national intelligence effort and make appro-
priate recommendations for improvements; and
WHEREAS PFIAB was abolished by Presi-
dential action in 1977 and has not been appro-
priately replaced as a permanent, non-partisan
body by a similar group of distinguished Americans,
thus depriving the President and the Intelligence
Community of a source of independent counsel for
the national intelligence effort;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association of
Former Intelligence Officers, in convention assem-
bled on October 4, 1980 advocates that the Presi-
dent reestablish PFIAB to perform the functions in
which it was formerly engaged and such other
similar functions as the President finds appropriate.
RESOLUTION ON
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURES
WHEREAS there continue to be "leaks" and
unauthorized disclosures of sensitive intelligence
information; and
WHEREAS existing law is woefully inadequate
to deter or criminally punish those who violate the
trust put in them; and
WHEREAS various proposals have been intro-
duced in Congress to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure of intelligence sources and methods;
and
WHEREAS by law the Director of the Central
Intelligence is "responsible for protecting intelli-
gence sources and methods from unauthorized
disclosure" but there is no law to punish criminally
those who make such unauthorized disclosures;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association of
Former Intelligence Officers in convention assem-
bled on October 4, 1980 urges the Congress to
consider and pass legislation making unauthorized
disclosures of intelligence sources and methods a
criminal offense.
RESOLUTION ON FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
SURVEILLANCE ACT
WHEREAS the requirement in the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 that the
Executive Branch must secure a judicial warrant to
collect foreign intelligence by electronic surveil-
lance of a foreign power, its agents or collaborators
is a constitutionally objectionable invasion of the
powers reserved to the President; and
WHEREAS the Intelligence Community has
proposed amendments to the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act of 1978 dealing with searches; and
WHEREAS the effectiveness of intelligence
efforts should be improved by all reasonable means;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Association of
former Intelligence Officers in convention assem-
bled on October 4, 1980 urges the Congress to
repeal the unconstitutional requirement in the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 of a
judicial warrant in order to collect foreign intelli-
gence by electronic surveillance of a foreign power,
its agents or collaborators and to modify the Act to
cover physical searches.

On the Intelligence Bookshelf ...
Current books of interest to intelligence buffs
and watchers of the world scene. All reviews are by
AFIO members and represent their personal views.
Reader reactions, either to the reviews or the books
reviewed, are welcome.
WHY VIET NAM? - PRELUDE TO AMERICA'S ALBATROSS,
by Archimedes L. A. Patti, University of California Press,
Berkeley 1980, 612 p (including index, bibliography, notes, and
political biographies).
This thoroughly researched and admirably documented
book by AFIO member Al Patti makes a significant contribution
to the historiography of American foreign relations. Practi-
tioners in the field of national security will find in it a number of
well-drawn moral lessons, including the often-demonstrated
truism that a foreign policy becomes uninformed and irrelevant
to the same degree that it ignores its profesional observers
abroad.
But before I scare off potential readers, let me add that this is
more than a short history of how America conceived its misbe-
gotten political involvement in Vietnam. It is also an eminently
readable first-person account of real-life foreign intrigue, and as
such is more satisfying than the half-baked spy novels that seem
to have provided the foreign affairs education of people like the
inner circle of the Nixon White House staff.
Colonel Archimedes L. A. Patti led the Indochina section of
the Office of Strategic Services during the crucial 12 months
bracketing the end of World War 11. During that time he probably
spent more time with Ho Chi Minh than any other American, and
he came to respect and admire the man who for a quarter of a
century had been at the forefront of the native Vietnamese
struggle against French colonial rule. Patti was only one of a
mixed handful of Allied officials in Kunming, Hanoi and Saigon
trying to sort out the conflicting interests of Indochinese nation-
alists, French colonialists, and Chinese opportunists as the
Japanese empire collapsed. But he seems to have had a clearer
view than most of basic American objectives and their affinity
with those of the Vietnamese nationalists, despite the Marxist
coloration the latter had acquired. And, bless him, he seems to
have kept notes and copies of his dispatches to Kunming and
Washington, to which he has now added months of research into
State Department, War Department, and OSS files.
The result is an amplified account of Colonel Patti's day-to-
day experiences with the Indochina intrigues of 1945, set within
a clearly articulated history of the anti-colonial struggle in
Vietnam from 1942 to April 1956, when the French High Com-
mission in Saigon was disestablished and the last units of the
French Foreign Legion paraded past the American Embassy to
board ship for Algeria.
I watched that last, disdainful parade by a beaten colonial
army, and in my youth and innocence thought that now the
Vietnamese would sort out their independence problems for
themselves. At that time there were fewer than 500 U.S. military
personnel in Saigon, hardly any of them in uniform. Twenty
years and 56,000 American lives later I and every other American
had learned how costly can be the price of ignorance.
For the answer to "Why Viet Nam?" is, simply, "ignorance,"
as Colonel Patti recounts how America made France's "dirty
war" its own against more than a hundred years of tradition and
policy, and in the face of ample evidence that the struggle for
Indochina was a deeply rooted war of independence that
ultimately could have only one outcome. Like others who were
there at the time, the author asserts - but does not dwell on -
the thesis that America had the opportunity to steer Indochina to
almost instant, possibly bloodless independence in 1945, but
carelessly let the opportunity drop. He recounts, with details and
documentation, how the French underhandedly outmaneuvered
Americans and Vietnamese to reimpose in blood their dis-
credited colonial regime, then brainwashed American policy-
makers into the needless casting of this colonial conflict into the
mold of worldwide anti-communism.
"Kremlin-directed conspiracy," Patti points out, "was found
in virtually all countries except Vietnam" in the late 1940s. "The
Soviet Union not only failed to support Ho through his early
struggles for independence but also refused to recognize the
DRV until several years later" in January 1950. Yet, in Patti's
view, the U.S., swayed by French overt and covert pressures and
propaganda, chose from 1946 on to make a judgment that Ho
Chi Minh and the bulk of the Vietnamese independence move-
ment were not just Marxian Socialists but Moscow-controlled
Communists. Reporting and analysis to the contrary was never
lacking in those early years - though some of it had dis-
appeared from State Department files by the time Colonel Patti
came to write his book. (Nor was it available to researchers in
the 1960s, as this reviewer knows from personal experience.)
There is another school of thought on this subject which
should be noted here, a school which differs from both Patti's
position and the conventional wisdom. This view holds that,
while Ho Chi Minh was undoubtedly a veteran cadre of the
Comintern who had joined the French Communist Party at the
time of its formation (both documented facts), he was primarily
a nationalist, a potential Asian Tito, whose movement (like
Tito's) received no help or recognition from the Soviet Union
until it was well on the road to success. With the proper policy
and an offer of support, the U.S. might have induced a public
split between Ho and the Soviet Union and China and thus
avoided all the turmoil and trauma that resulted from the actual
policy we pursued.
In any event, Colonel Patti and the University of California
have produced a unique document in textbook form that is both
scholarly and readable and organized for easy reference. This
book ought to be required reading in diplomatic courses and the
various war colleges. It can be read with profit by the general
reader, the undergraduate student of history, and the graduate
researcher seeking primary sources for this critical episode in
international affairs. It's just too bad that something like "Why
Viet Nam?" wasn't generally available in the 1960s when the
United States Government was still trying to understand an
enemy that once had tried to become its friend.

Notes From AFIO Chapters
In November, the Florida Southwest Chapter in
Ft. Myers elected Lt. Col Donald Randell (USA,
Ret), President; Herman Bly (FBI, Ret), Vice Presi-
dent; and Mrs. Mary E. Evans (State), Secretary-
Treasurer. Ed Kray replaced Gerald Davis as Florida
State Chairman in January. Gerry has been most
active in coordinating and assisting the Florida
chapters, besides being president of the Southwest
Florida Chapter. He passes the baton on to Ed, a
very capable and active chapter president.
Arizona is moving ahead with the organization
of a chapter. Under the organizational guidance of
L. George Wiggins from Yuma, the first meeting
was held 17 January in the Cactus Room of the
Francisco Grande Resort in Casa Granda. With two
new chapters this past year in Texas and a chapter
forming in Arizona, we are now looking at New
Mexico to complete the chapter coverage by state
through the Southwest.
Charters have been approved by the Board of
Directors for six chapters and the Board will review
on 26 January the by-laws of the Western Montana
and Southwest Florida chapters. Many of our chap-
ters have been formed for some time now, e.g.,
San Diego was organized in 1976, and has been
very active during the past four years, working on
furthering AFIO objectives, not to mention hosting
a national convention.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish the current
addresses of the heads of all AFIO chapters.
Once again, we repeat our oft-repeated plea to
chapter members to take a camera along to all their
meetings and snap some pictures of speakers or
members gathered at these sessions. Then, if you
would, promptly send your results to AFIO Head-
quarters with captions and identifications attached.
Please use black and white film only.

man of our Board of Directors, General Dick Stewart.

Notes From National
AFIO 1981 Convention
A Little Proof of the
Dedication of Our Members
Colonel Bob Roth has agreed to accept the
chairmanship of the convention committee for the
1981 convention. Since Bob served on two previous
convention committees, things are "in good hands"
for this one. The convention dates are Friday and
Saturday, October 2 and 3, 1981. The actual site has
not been finalized at this time but will definitely be
in the Washington, D.C. area. Further details con-
cerning the convention facilities and the program
will be forthcoming in later publications. If members
have any suggestions for the format or program for
the convention please send them to AFIO Head-
quarters, attention Col. Bob Roth, so that they may
be considered by the convention committee. The
convention is for the AFIO members, and we would
like to have as many as possible attend and con-
tribute their ideas for the program.
Date Set for Spring Lunch
The regular AFIO spring luncheon is now set
for Thursday, April 2, 1981 at the Fort Myer Officer's
Club. The speaker will be announced later.
AFIO Items for Members
The National Office has ordered 500 more lapel
pins, available to members at $5 each. AFIO decals
in red, blue and gold are also available at $1. We
also wish to remind members of the existence of the
Speaker's/Writer's Kit, a 149-page compendium of
authoritative materials of value to members in pre-
paring speeches or articles on intelligence matters.
The Kit is available at $3.
Periscope
Volume Numbers Corrected
Eagle-eyed proof-readers among our member-
ship will note that the last issue of Periscope was
numbered Vol. V, No. 4, while this issue, actually
the next following issue, is numbered Vol. VII, No. I.
The reason is that some years ago some unidenti-
fied culprit repeated Vol. IV two years in succes-
sion. In the interests of accuracy we have decided
to correct this error somewhat belatedly in spite of
the slight confusion it might cause.
Notification of
Address Changes
Once again the National Office pleads with
members to remember to notify us of address
changes promptly. This will insure that you get
your copies of Periscope and other publications in
a reasonable time and also save us untold trouble.
Lt. Gen. Ray Peers writes that he recently
attended a meeting of the Western Montana
Chapter of AFIO as a guest of Norm Larum in
Missoula. Ray gathered some figures on how
far the members living outside of Missoula had
traveled to get to the meeting. The results
were as follows:
C. Woodgate - 142 miles
Tom Nicholson - 100 miles (Tom was
elected new President)
H. Stenn - 115 miles
Al Demsey - 45 miles
Richard Grant - 40 miles
Terry Nobles - 50 miles
Finally a gentleman named Knaggs also
attended. Although he is not listed as a mem-
ber in our files, he traveled 180 miles to attend.
Perhaps somebody should see that he gets a
membership application.
Editor's Note: We are indeed impressed
with this evidence of dedication. Our only
complaint is that no one took pictures and
sent them on to us.

Kunkel (FBI).

From The President's Desk
A Report From Jack Maury
The Washington Establish-
ment - both press and politi-
cians - apparently have not
overlooked the fact that national
security in general, and the
intelligence community in par-
ticular, came in for consider-
able attention during the cam-
paign and are getting a good
deal of scrutiny during the
transition period. Several AFIO
members have had key roles on the transition team
devoted to intelligence and Bill Casey, the Director
of Central Intelligence designate, being a veteran of
OSS, is on close personal terms with many of us.
With Bill, who by the way is a member of the AFIO
Board of Directors, as DCI, Jack Blake as Staff
Director of the Senate Select Committee and Tom
Latimer in the corresponding job on the House
side, we can be sure that professionalism will be
well represented where intelligence issues are con-
cerned.
There is reason to expect that in the days
ahead the views of AFIO will also be represented in
official policy circles. They have, of course, been
often sought by the media, and by Congressional
committees in connection with legislative matters.
In responding to such requests we usually seek the
views of members of our Executive Committee and,
where feasible, other AFIO members known to be
concerned with the particular issues involved. But
because of the pressure of time extensive consulta-
tion is rarely possible. It has therefore been sug-
gested that it would be helpful if, in order for your
National Headquarters to have the benefit of the
views of the membership on issues of major con-
cern, individual members be encouraged to write to
us expressing their views on any current issues
which are of concern to them. You may be sure that
such views will be kept on file and will be taken into
account in the formulation of the Association's
position as appropriate.
Members of the Association may be interested
to know that at the suggestion of the Advisory
Council a new Membership Committee has been
formed under the Chairmanship of Herbert W.
Taylor, recently retired from A.C.S.I. The Com-
mittee held its first meeting on December 22, 1980
with twelve members attending, at which time they
set as their goal the doubling of AFIO's current
membership to reach the number 5000 during 1981.
