Meditations Sacrae, 1597

�DR. LEE BROWN
Houston Police Chief Lee P. Brown previously served as Atlanta’s Public Safety
Commissioner and had responsibility for the city’s civil defense operations, fire
and correctional services, as well as police operations. Chief Brown began his
career as a patrolman with the San Jose, CA Police Department, after which
he held the position of director of law enforcement programs at Portland, OR
State University, where he was instrumental in establishing a program in
criminal justice. He later became associate director of the Institute for Urban
Affairs and Research at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Chief Brown
holds masters and doctorate degrees in criminology from the University of
California at Berkley, a masters’ degree in sociology from San Jose State U.,
and a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Fresno State University.

�MR. DAVID BURNHAM
Mr. David Burnham is presently a reporter for the Washington Bureau of The
New York Times. As a reporter he has covered the performance of the police,
courts and prosecutors, including the Serpico corruption series and the
performance of the Federal agencies in handling such issues as
communications, occupational disease, conflicts of interest and nuclear energy.
His book. The Rise of the Computer State, is about the impact of computers
and telecommunications on the American people. Mr. Burnham’s articles have
been published in The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, The
Nation, fVashingtonian, The Reader’s Digest, True Magazine and The
Reporter. He earned a B.A. in American history from Harvard College.

�MR. WILLIAM COLBY
William E. Colby’s career spanned World War II, the Cold War, Viet Nam,
Watergate, and the sensational revelations of the CIA’s role in them. As
Director of the CIA from 1973 to 1976, he had the awesome responsibility of
guiding American intelligence in order to estimate future events and interpret
our evermore complex world. As Director of Central Intelligence, Colby
emerged as a leading figure in American Foreign Policy. Mr. Colby sums up
his defense of the Agency in these words: ‘it may have done some things in the
past which were either mistaken or wrong, but it corrected them itself. The
CIA today is the best intelligence service in the world. ... It is the envy of the
foreign nations.” Mr. Colby received an undergraduate degree from Princeton
and his law degree from Columbia.

�DR. LEON MARTEL
Leon Martel is a political scientist and a futurist, specializing in the forecasting
of economic, political, social and resource issues. He is the author of LendLease, Loans and the Coming of the Cold War, and co-author (with Herman
Kahn and William Brown) of The Next 200 Years. His current book, in
process, is Managing Change: How to Prepare for the Future. Dr. Martel is
also a captain in the United States Naval Reserve with extensive professional
experience in the fields of political and military intelligence. Dr. Martel holds
a B.A. from Dartmouth College, and an M.S., Ph.D., and Certificate of the
Russian Institute from Columbia University.

�MR. FRANK SNEPP
Mr. Frank Snepp is a best-selling non-fiction author, at television and motion­
picture consultant, and a screen writer. He is a lecturer and broadcast
commentator on international relations and national security affairs and
related legal issues. As a former CIA analyst and operative he was responsible
for White House-oriented analyses, briefings, speech writing, interrogations,
and the management of espionage networks in hostile territory. Other
positions included promotion writer and researcher for CBS news, and
producer/writer for WRVR-FM, New York.
Since September 1983, Mr. Snepp has been the Otis Chandler Distinguished
Lecturer at the University of Southern California’s School of Journalism, with
responsibility for courses on censorship and investigative journalism. On
December 16, 1983 the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi,
presented him its national First Amendment Award “in recognition of strong
and continuing efforts to preserve and strengthen freedom of the press and the
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.” Other
honors include special grants and awards from J. Roderick MacArthur
Foundation and Hugh M. Hefner Foundation, and the CIA Medal of Merit.
Mr. Snepp holds a B.A. from Columbia University’s Columbia College in
literature, and a Master’s degree in International Affairs and a Certificate from
the European Institute, Columbia University’s School of International Affairs
in strategic issues.
