Godson, Roy, ed. Intelligence Requirements for the 1990s: Collection, Analysis, Counterintelligence, and Covert Action. Lexington MA: Lexington Books, 1989. 271 pages.

This collection of essays and responses "highlights the major aspects of the discussion at the Colloquium on Intelligence Requirements for the 1990s, held December 1987 in Washington DC.... The participants included current and former senior intelligence and Department of Defense officials, members and staff of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, members of the National Security Council staff in the 1970s and 1980s, current and former members and staff of the congressional intelligence committees, academics, journalists, and other specialists in the subject." The text is academic and devoid of names, but the book was saved for us by Appendix B, a list of participants along with their institutional affiliation.

Roy Godson has taught at Georgetown University since 1971, specializing in international relations and national security. During the 1980s he directed the Washington office of the National Strategy Information Center, a think tank for right-wing militarists. Godson has also been a consultant to the National Security Council and the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. No mere academic, in 1985 Godson helped Oliver North channel contributions from private donors to the contras by using the Heritage Foundation to launder the funds.
