CIA Director Casey speaks on "what you pay for and what you get in intelligence." The heart of intelligence is knowing what information we need, where and how to get it, how to put it together, and figuring out what it means. He laments the damage done to intelligence in the 1970s due to the loss of personnel and cuts in the budget. As directed by President Reagan, the CIA is strengthening the nation's intelligence capabilities in order to fight the growing influence of the Soviet Union. International terrorism is a growing problem on five continents. Another problem is the buildup of arms and biological weapons by the USSR. The private sector can play a key role in providing entrepreneurship in other nations at risk of Soviet influence. He concludes by calling for increased secrecy for national security information, including the repeal of the Freedom of Information Act.
