Last year DCI Deutch said that as part of the new "openness" for intelligence archives and as followup to the release of VENONA documents, a conference was planned on Soviet intelligence attempts to penetrate the USG in the 1940s and 1950s. (See excerpt below.) Has anyone heard more on this conference? ---------- http://www.odci.gov/cia/public_affairs/speeches/dci_speech_71195. html DCI Speech 7/11/95 DCI John M. Deutch at VENONA Press Conference [Snip] Next year we will sponsor a conference on Soviet Intelligence attempts to penetrate the United States government during the 1940s and 1950s and our efforts to counter those efforts. We hope that all scholars will attend, including Russian scholars.
