MANHATTAN — Dennis C. Blair, the director of national intelligence, will present the first Landon Lecture of the spring 2010 semester at Kansas State University. Blair's lecture will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22, in McCain Auditorium.

Appointed the nation's third director of national intelligence in January 2009, Blair serves as the head of the intelligence community, overseeing and directing the implementation of the National Intelligence Program and acting as the principal adviser to the president, the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council for intelligence matters related to national security. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created at the recommendation of the 9-11 Commission and began operations in April 2005.

MANHATTAN — The Landon Lecture by Adm. Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been rescheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, at Kansas State University's McCain Auditorium.

Adm. Mullen was originally scheduled to speak at K-State early in the fall 2009 semester, but asked that his lecture be postponed because of scheduling conflicts. With U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the relief work in Haiti and the threats of terrorism, Adm. Mullen's visit is very timely," said Charles Reagan, chair of the Landon Lecture Series.
