matters almost entirelyr. I spent some time telling them about to work
we are doing on Requirements and :,valuations in the OC and OFH.. They
seemed struck by the fact tl at this enlargement of the subject matter
of the Reporting Block occurred as the result of a particular personnel
assignment (mine to 0TR) raher than as the result of a policy decision
taken in the abstract. In other :--cords, they inferred that if a- cse

reassignments and they wondered whether FIJRQJI had previously made an

ment of Requirer-ents, Evalua'.:icns, and (I thou.~ht) Agreed Activities,
we take account of CS relationships with other intelligence organiza-
tions or components.
Lj.. Outside of Reports, they were interested in the improvements
of recent years in the caliber of training, the morale of the Training
staff, the relations between the Clandestine Services
