A. On 25 May I met with Mr. David Arnold, Director, Center
for International Studies, Ohio? University, at the Department
of State. Amemorandum dated 27 May 1965 regarding this subject
is attached.
B. We have presently under development an addition to our
Academic Library. In coordination with we
are setting up a Professional Reading Shelf for OTR use. This
Will include books and periodicals containing material of in-
terest to the Training Officer and flyers on new literature,
concepts, materiel and hardware of interest.
will administer this new service in addition to her continuing
handling of the Academic Library and Counseling Service.
C. We have had a request from American University concern-
ing requirements for a fall off-campus program. Appropriate
offices are presently being queried on their needs and desires.
The next OTR Bulletin will carry an announcement of possible
courses to be offered by George Washington University in the
Off-Campus Program.
D. Assistance of the Registrar Staff was sought by Mr.
0/Commo, in deciding upon Home Study or
Correspondence Courses most suitable for meeting 8th and 9th
grade general educational needs. In the late summer or early
fall accompanied by his family, will move into

formed that suitable schooling beyond the 7th grade is not available
where he will be located. Naturally, the parents hope that the
child can keep step academically with her present peers and fit
into the normal level for her age in the Fairfax Public School sys-
tem when the family returns to this area. In addition to consult-

School in Baltimore and it is very likely that he will make
use of the 8th grade course from that school for his daughter.
However, because the Calvert School only goes through the 8th
grade, he will probably use the High School Supervised. Corres-
pondence Study from the University of Nebraska for the 9th
grade.
E. We recently received from the U. S. Civil Service Com-
mission a tentative schedule of seminars to be offered in Fiscal
Year 1966 at the Kings Point Executive Seminar Center, New
York. In the same communication CSC requested that we report
by 23 June 1965 the number of reservations the Agency desires
for each scheduled session. We have transmitted pertinent in-
formation on this transaction to Senior Training Officers and
have asked them to move as rapidly as possible in firming up
the anticipated total needs of their directorates for the vari-
ous seminars. 15 June '65 has been set as the due date for in-
forming the Registrar/TR of the numbers of training spaces de-
sired in specific Seminars at the Kings Point Center. (Rela-
tive to this program, I mentioned to you recently in a separate
report that CSC has decided, because of economic considerations,
to defer until September 1966 the opening of a second Executive
Seminar Center on the West Coast.

DATE: 27 May 1965,
suBjEcT: Meeting with Mr. David Arnold - Director, Center for Inter-
national Studies, Ohio University
1. On 25 May I met at the Department of State with Mr. David
Arnold, Director, Center for International Studies, Ohio University.
The meeting was held in the offices of the Deputy Under Secretary
for Administration, William J. Crockett, Department of State. It
appears that under Ni'. Crockett's direction, the Department is taking
advantage of the changeover in the directorship of the Foreign Ser-
vice Institute to once again examine how best to train the foreign
service officer. Ohio University, for a variety of reasons, has been
asked to make recommendations to the Department on this matter.
2. Mr. Arnold was in town to talk with various agen6ies on how
they train their personnel. His call to you was at the suggestion
25X1 of now at the Bureau of the Budget. In essence,
Mr. Arnold wanted to know why the CIA training program was as good
as it is reputed to be. I explained that Whatever excellence was
attributed to our training effort, was the result of a variety of
things but mostly because of strong support from top management
and the choice of a dynamic and knowledgeable Director of Training
who, for the most part, had been given unusual autonomy and authority.
He agreed that those agencies, Where the training was less effective
than ours, did not have these same things going for them. He was
interested in a myriad of details pertaining to the subject; some of
Which I was able to give him, and some, because of the classification
of the material, I was unable to discuss with him. He appeared
pleased with our conversation and indicated that he would like to
contact us again When he returns to Washington.
