B. OTHER ACTIVITIES
interviewed for possible contract employment
1.
in our Ch nese rogram, wh c is somewhat too big for the present
staff. seems eminently qualified and, is interested in the
work per se, u she declined the job because the salary we were
able to offer was insufficient in view of the extra domestic ex-
penses she would incur by working.
2. interviewed for possible contract employ-
ment in our a anese program, which .s also too heavy for the present
staff, ould be excellent for the job and has long wanted
to do the kind of work involved, but, being at present a GS-9 (Array
Map Service) with eight years of government service, he is reluctant
to consider anything other than permanent Agency employment. We will
offer him contract employment, but have little hope that he will accept.
3. Two students have satisfactorily completed the Basic Czech
course, extending from April through January, a total of nine months.
They will continue in a special Intermediate course until the begin-
ning of March.
4. successfully synchronized a tape-
recorded Russian sound track an English-language film. We are
planning further experimentation with this technique, which produces
excellent quality and usefulness at negligible cost.
