2. had. a talk with ' of ~ F ?oncerning plans to
withdraw one EE student from the full-time course one month
ahead of the course's termination. = said that the withdrawal
is necessary because of an unusually good and unique opportunity for
placing this 25X1 in the field at that particular time.
3. The Librarian visited LAS to discuss the possibility
of obtaining some additional language material for the library there.
25X1 0 is arranging to send down the requested materials insofar as
they are available here.

25X1 Deputy Chief, Eastern Europe Branch, 'i)I),
25X1 ~'
discussed with 0 Iil)Il's keen interest in any country survey courses
:US could lay on for the European Satellites. He does not favor
combining countries in a single course. While LAS lacks the manpower
to begin such courses in fiscal '57, tentative plans do call for one
25X1 course, probably in the following year, subject to the
25X1 availability of or a replacement. Requirements fore course
25X1 in, fiscal '57 total 12. In opinion, t1'DD will
have cont. nuing requirements for courses on eac Eastern European
country and would even welcome full-time courses of two weeks duration.
25X1 0 will experiment with one full-time course - on the Middle East -
next February, and this is expected to test supervisors' reactions to
this type of schedule.
