1. I offer for consideration the following schedule
and recommended arrangements for the forthcoming visit of

which he would make his address. I-believe there would be

address into the lob t building
so that as many employees w o c nose to do so may hear i in
real time. When the Secretary's remarks are concluded, the
party will leave the Auditorium and walk on the outside,
weather permitting, so that the party may enter the main
entrance of the building. We would have stanchions to keep
a clear aisle for the Secretary to walk through, turn left,
and ..to the Director's elevator. I suspect he would be
somewhat rewarded by seeing the employees in the lobby and V
the predictable applause that would take place.

The Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
The Secretary of State
State Department
Washington, D.C. 20520
Dear Henry,
I'm delighted you will be coming out here on June 15th. Here's
the plan: 12:30 p.m., Secretary of State arrives at auditorium.
The auditorium holds 500 people. It will be filled. Your speech
might run 20 to 30 minutes.
You asked for suggestions on the speech. My thoughts would
be a brief rundown of foreign policy, touching on the world trouble
spots, and then some comments on CIA and how you personally use
the work put out by CIA.
On the platform with you will be
for the Community, Hank Knoche, Deputy-Wes gna e r tie ,
Dick Walters, Deputy to the CIA. (As you know, Dick Walters will
be retiring and it would be appropriate to say a kind word about
him.)
There will be no press in attendance. Your speech can be
off the record. The audience will be composed of members of
the four CIA Directorates, my own office, and the Intelligence
Community Staff.
Following the speech, we will leave the auditorium, walk in
the main entrance of CIA, where you will be greeted by many of
our CIA employees. We will simply walk through the lobby of
the building to the elevator, and proceed to the 7th floor
dining room. The luncheon, to which Larry Eagleburger and
Hal Saunders are most cordially invited (plus any others you

Deputies of the four Directorates, plus other top staff people.
It would be appropriate for you to say a few words at the con-
clusion of the lunch.
I am really looking forward to your visit to CIA Headquarters.
Best regards,
