MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Subject: Items discussed with
on 18 March 1964
1. NOON MOVIE PROGRAM
This Program was established to provide Agency employees with
information about Customs and Circumstances in foreign countries.
It specifically excludes training, management and entertainment
type programs. Attendance, so far, has been beyond expectation and
on several occasions it has been standing room, only. The program
will be continued as long as materials are available.
2. PAPERWORK LOAD HEAVY FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICER
On an average day, approximately 1 linear foot of memorandum,
staff studies and reports of various kinds come to the Executive
Officer's desk. In most instances, this material has a deadline
date, and therefore must be acted upon promptly. A large percentage
of it is for the DCI's office. Some of the material is lengthly,
repetitious and needs refinement. On the other hand, it is difficult
to return the material to the originator because of sensitivity of
feelings and because of the dateline. I suggested to that
he arrange with OTR to obtain the Army Effective Writing movie and
use it to improve the writing of Reports, Staff Studies and other
materials now coming to the ODDS. He thought this was a good idea
and will take it up withF _1
3. AREA Conference
agreed that I should attend the AREA Conference on 27-28 April
at the New York Hilton, New York. He also agreed that it would be a good
idea for me to take another day to see the operation of the Records Center
for the New York City Government.
4. RECORDS ADMINISTRATION STAFF MONTHLY REPORTS
said that he thought I should continue preparing the same
type of monthly reports. He feels that these serve a useful purpose and
acquaints him and the DDS with our activities. He was complimentary
about content and the language we used. He said that our reports were
explicit and did not contain any excess verbage.

5. SUPERVISOR TRAINING PROGRAM
The DCI has requested the development of a one-day Supervisor
Training Program. The objective is to develop guides and standards
for supervision to use in identifying problem personnel cases. The
Director is particularly concerned about absenteeism and unusual
living patter by supervisors. The Director was particularly
motivated by He believes that proper
supervision will detect such things as a history of absenteeism and
its causes and effects. Some cases have been detected and steps have
been taken to investigate them and eliminate the personnel where justi-
fied. Some of these are being detected now through the normal course
of the Agency Security Program through reinvestigations and the PG
procedures. This has caused considerable problem in some instances
where alcoholism is a problem. We will be advised when this training
program will be conducted.
