The CWC staff is convinced from extensive sampling of student opinion among the graduates of CWC that a voluntary seminar on the Ideological and Organizational Concepts of the World Communist Movement would be of great benefit. The informal seminar would be conducted by the students with the CWC staff attending as moderators. The time and place could be determined by the interested students; but hours should be included within the regular working schedule and the meetings should not be more frequent than once a month. 2. The proposed seminar could serve as a media where the latest shifts in the World Communist ideol ical and tactical line could be explored. From these informal meetings the various components of the Agency could coordinate their thinking and action. In addition, the reading and discussions would help to develop a core of specialists skilled in the Interpretation of Communist ideological and organizational concepts. It is hoped that such a seminar could also be considered as a l fresher Course for CWC graduates returning from field assignments as well as Headquarters personnel who need to keep abreast of the changes in the World Communist lbvernont. 3. It is requested that permission be granted the N G staff to initiate the seminar described above through the proper channels and with such modifications as may be deemed er,edient to meet the needs of the proppective participants.
