THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY
WASHINGTON, D.C.
June 18, 1987
Honorable William H. Webster
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505

It is indeed a pleasure to extend my congratulations to
you on your appointment as the Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency. The Department of Energy (DOE) was well
served by Bill Casey and the Central Intelligence Agency and
I am sure that the close relationship established under his
leadership will continue.
As you undoubtedly are already aware, the DOE is not
only a consumer of intelligence on nuclear weapons, nuclear
proliferation, and energy security issues, it also provides
valuable expertise on these subjects to the Intelligence
Community, particularly through the national laboratories.
Additionally, our laboratories provide support in the design
and development of a range of material used by the Intelli-
gence Community.
In light of these relationships, I think it might be
beneficial for you to visit some of these laboratories when
your schedule permits. Since the facilities of primary
interest are on the West Coast, such a visit might best be
accomplished in conjunction with other travel plans. Bill
visited Los Alamos, Livermore, and Sandia last year and I
believe he found it very worthwhile. Let me therefore extend
a similar invitation to you at your earliest convenience.
I have delegated my day-to-day responsibilities in
intelligence to my Assistant Secretary for Defense Programs,
currently Admiral Bob Foley. His office will make arrange-
ments needed for any visits you wish.

I know that you will provide the same strong
leadership to the Intelligence Community that you did at
the Bureau. I can assure you that the Department of
Energy will continue to provide its full support to you
and the Intelligence Community.
Yours truly,
John S. Herrington
