CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
OFFICE OF DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
General Robert H. Warren
perimendent, United States Air Force Acadeirty
Academy, Colorado
r bob:
Since last March when I usumed the duties of Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence I have taken a direct interest in the personnel program
of the Agency, and particularly ia extendiag our resources for attracting
outstanding young people who are seeking an interesting and challenging
professional career in the Govertrneat service. We have a highly *elective
recruitment program for bringing junior officers into the Agency and
training them in Intelligence work for afoul two years before they are
given their first professional assignmeits. We are enthusiastic about this
program and very proud of the accomplishments of many of the young people
who have completed it and taken on some difficult assignments.
It occurs to me that cadets at the Air Force Academy may occasionally
develop some relatively minor physical posblem which might prevent their
being commissioned upon graduation, but which inigle not be so serious that
they would be disqualified for employment here. We have at least one suth
man in the Agency now who came to no from West Point in 1949. He has
proven to be one of our outstanding pg officers and I believe his career
progression compares extremely favorably with any of his contemporaries,
in or out of the service.
?V bile we obviously cannot perigee. employmont I feel confident
that we can offer a career peculiarly suited to the education Air Force
rcaderny graduates have received end that they may find this Agency a
highly satisfactory alternative to a career in the Air Force.
If there are any such cadets is this, or subsequent classes. I
would very much appreciate your acquainting them with the possibility of
associating themselves with this agency.
Faithfully yours,
Marshall S. Carter
Lieutenant General, USA
