Schlesinger Speaks

James R. Schlesinger '50, former Secretary of Defense, will discuss United States-USSR relations at the annual Gustav Pollak Lecture on Research in Government on April 13, in the Science Center.

The Pollak committee invited Schlesinger to speak because of his recent prominence with respect to national security policy, Harvey Brooks, an advisor to one of the groups sponsoring the lecture, said yesterday.

The Program for Science and International Affairs and the Program on Science, Technology and Public Policy will sponsor the lecture.

Schlesinger, who is now affiliated with the Washington Center of Foreign Policy Research of Johns Hopkins University, served as Secretary of Defense from 1973 until last fall, and was Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from February through July in 1973.
