Service Officer, Fred Sacksteder, has invited you to speak at the annual joint.
meeting of the city's three rotary clubs. The meeting will be at the Omni

I recommend that you decline this invitation. You have addressed a group
at the University of Virginia recently (October 1986); may be declining
another invitation from a group at UVa for this Spring (a recommendation was
sent on 9 February); and you may wish to address the distinguished speakers
luncheon of Georgetown and the Electronics Association -- AFCEA -- on May 10,
a date that would conflict with the invitation to address the Charlottesville
Rotary Club. A?note recommendi ng--=t-hat -you-address Georgetown AFCEA on May 10
was sent to you on February 17.
Since you wish to respond personally, we did not prepare a letter.

It was good to hear from you. I envy you your location in
Charlottesville.
I wish it were possible for me to accept your invitation
to talk to the joint meeting of Rotary Clubs on May 10th, but I
am afraid I have to ask for a raincheck. Please give me one.
I did read the Schneider book on V-12, and have a copy.
An interesting book, and he certainly put a lot of work into it.
I had a great time in Charlottesville two years ago in
connection with the Thomas Jefferson Award. It's hard to
realize how much time has passed. On my next trip I'll make an
effort to look you up.
It was really good to hear from you again, and I hope one
of these days you'll let me know when you are in town.
Warm regards,
Sincerely,
William H. Webster

The Honorable
William H. Webster
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D.C.
With best regards,
Sincerely,
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/30: CIA-RDP90G01353RO01900070003-6
Several years ago I had the pleasure of exchanging comments with
you about our years together at Amherst and in the Williams College
V-12 unit. You kindly urged me to call on you at the F.B.I., which,
as you know, I have not done.
Since that time I retired from the U.S. Foreign Service, and, four
years ago, settled in Charlottesville which has very much become home
after thirty-odd years roaming-the-world as a Foreign Service Officer.
If I had been aware of your address at the Rotonda of the University
of Virginia I would certainly have arranged to attend it, but only heard
of it from the press after the fact.
I hope that you can be enticed to make a return visit to this
community. Charlottesville is home to three Rotary Clubs, one of which
I shall be President of in 1988-89. The three clubs, between them,
number over two hundred members from the business and professional
leadership of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
An annual joint meeting of the three Rotary clubs will be held
at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville on Tuesday, May the tenth, at
five-thirty p.m.
We hope that your schedule may permit you to accept our invitation
to be-our guest of honor and speaker on that occasion. A formal and
official invitation will be forthcoming if you respond in the affirmative.
Have you, by any chance, heard of James G. Schneider's book THE
NAVY V-12 PROGRAM, LEADERSHIP FOR A LIFETIME. Someone, himself an ex-V-12,
has done an in-depth study of the program and of each institution which
had a V-12 unit. The author understandably mentions you several times.
Before closing I should like to tell you that there is universal
satisfaction in this community with your appointment to the D.C.I. post
as there was with your leadership of the Bureau.
