None to report.

1. PERSONAL MEETINGS FILM:
CI Staff requested TAS to reappraise the classification of
the old (1953) OTR film "Personal Meetings," because of its
widespread use with both U.S. and foreign trainees, and the
confusion in the records as to its classification. The film
is a training lecture on personal meetings, with charts,
illustrated by appropriate clips from commercial films.

rom SECRET' to CONFIDENTIAL because of its age and the
treatment of the subject. The Film Branch, CI/OA, and Graphics
Register will be advised of this recommendation.

3. VSS DINNER:
Because of General Eisenhower's recent heart attack, the
VSS dinner (WAR #33, 25 October 1965) has been postponed.
The Committee hopes that it can be held some time in January
1966.
4. THE WAR OF THE FLEA:
scanned The War of the Flea: A Study of Guer-
rilla Warfare Theory and Practice, by Robert Taber (New York)
Lyle Stuart, 1965) and found it a superficial., third-hand
rehash of Guerrilla Warfare since WW-II, and a book not worthy
of serious consideration.
