Dear Professor Hilsman-- greeter

Your account @ pp. 163-164, surfaced to my consciousness (again),
just a few days ago; I would have written this piece much more confi-
dently if I had recalled it sooner.

I am having some trouble tracking down the Gilpatric speech to
which you refer. He talked to the Business Council at Hot Springs, Va.
on Oct. 21 (Vital Sppeches of the Day, 12/1/61), but his statements
do not seem as portentous as I would have looked for from your text.
("we have a second strike capability which is at least as extensive
as what the Soviets can deliver by striking first".) Do you have a
uakakex usable reference for a Nov. '61 speech? (All this is mainly
for my own education in trying to learn how to read between the lines
of such remarks. )

Your book on "Strategic Intelligence..." carefully distinguished
foreign policy evaluations from military intelligence, and then made
a great point of the separation of "intelligence" from threat evalua-
tion and policy. The recent flurry of news stories about the role
of various “intelligence" sources in evaluating the Soviet SS-9's,
and the Soviet utilization of Cienfuegos, etc., suggest either a mis-
use of the term "intelligence", or a very different doctrine for it
in a military context. Can you point me to any publications that ex-
plore this point?

P.S. I suppose you must have known Allan Evans quite well,
if I understand your respective positions at State during
the 6O's. I did not realize he was a next door neighbour,
until the actual moment of his death a few weeks ago when
I had to try, quite hopelessly, to resuscitate him. My wife
and Marjorie Evans have gotten to know one another quite
well since then, and I have nothing but the best to say
about her, and how she is managing her bereavement.
