The speech was taped.

Second Renaissance Books (www.rationalmind.com) writes the following for their CD/audio sales item:

"Philosophy: Who Needs It by Ayn Rand

In March 1974, Ayn Rand faced the improbable task of lecturing on the crucial importance of philosophy -- to the graduating cl of West Point. She succeeded magnificently: she attracted three times the expected attendance, she elicited an enthusiastic ovation, and her lecture was reprinted in a new philosophy textbook published by the U.S. Military Academy. Relive this memorable occasion, and rediscover the irresistible intellectual power of Ayn Rand.
(65 min.)"

As far as I know, the title essay of the book "Philosophy: Who Needs It" is identical to the delivered speech (but I have not checked it up).
