SUBJECT: Weekly Activities Report No. 36
8 - 12 November 1965
I. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS:
None
II. OTHER ITEMS :
B. On 10 November I visited the DIA Offices in Arlington
Hall Station to discuss Project HELPFUL. This was at the request
of the officers who will be responsible for the visit to the
Production Center as part of Project HELPFUL. I was able to give
them some guide lines for the visit for which they were most grate-
ful.
C. Although not required, I discussed our proposed new exter-
nal training request form with
CI/DDP. The purpose of the discussion was to ensure that
the form was sufficiently sterile that it could be considered "Un-
classified Until Filled In." They made a few suggestions, gave it
a clean bill of health from their standpoint, and commended the
effort that went into the development of the form. They were
especially pleased that we had taken the initiative to clear this
with them.
D. On Friday, 19 November, 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., a panel
at Brookings Institution will discuss the advantages and disadvantages
of a Federal Staff College. Topics to be covered will include: What
is such a college? What are the needs? What subjects should be taught?

Could such a college be of benefit to Federal professional employees?
Panel members will include: Dr. Roland R. Renne, Department of
Interior, Moderator; Mr. Leo R. Werts, Department of Labor; Mr. J.
Kenneth Mulligan, Civil Service Commission; Dr. Earle H. DeLong,
American University; and Mr. Joseph M. Robertson, Department of
Agriculture.
In view of possible Agency interest I believe OTR representatives
should attend. I suggest and me. 25X1
E. Dr. Stanley Berlinski, a consultant to NASA and the Navy
Department, was the guest speaker at the Training Officers Conference
(TOC) Luncheon on 9 November. The title of his presentation was
"The Quality of Training in Improving Management Communications."
He emphasized the need for empathy within an organization if communi-
cation was to be effective. He feels that training programs must be
tailored to the people involved rather than impose a "classically
structured" program upon all people. The joint December meeting of
the American Society of Training Directors and TOC will feature Dr.
Len Nadler, George Washington University, on the subject "The Graduate
Program in Employee Training."
F. A draft of a Headquarters Employee Bulletin is near comple-
tion, for publication and distribution the first week of January,
announcing the courses to be offered in the Spring Semester of the
Agency's Off-Campus Program scheduled to begin the week of 31 January
1966. Thirteen courses are being offered by The George Washington
University and two courses are being offered by The American University.
Of these fifteen courses, twelve will be at the undergraduate level
and three will be graduate courses. The Bulletin will be completed
when a decision has been reached as to the proper follow-up to the
Automatic Data Processing Systems course offered by AU in the Fall
Semester of the Off-Campus Program, and we receive approval from GWU
to offer a course in International Affairs entitled Fundamentals of
National Power. The latter course has only been offered at War Colleges
in the past.
We also plan to announce in this Bulletin that the following three
non-credit courses will be offered by GWU if there is sufficient in-
terest among Agency employees: Fundamentals of Investment, Building
or Buying a Nome and Enotn ng the eat re. Non-eredi co ses run or
ht weeks; the credit courses run from fifteen to sixteen weeks.
