of the Office of Computer Services concern-
ing their requirements for external training. Their
requirements for special IBM Training far exceeds
IBM's capability to meet this need. Similiar re-
quirements exist in other areas of the Agency and
so it was agreed that we would determine the extent
of the requirement throughout the Agency and then
talk with the IBM representative on how best to meet
this requirement. Hopefully, IBM will provide us
with quotas sufficient to meet our immediate needs,
or if this is, not possible, to run a program specially
for us. The equipment is being installed and people
must be prepared to cope with it. We expect to have

3. On 7 October I met and talked with Bob
Special Assistant/DDS. Bob agrees with the
need for certain internal training (orientation and
familiarization) at three management levels (senior,
mid, and line supervisors) with technical training to
be done by external facilities. He feels strongly that
management must be educated to the concepts and
philosophy of automation, et al, with an understand-
ing of the machine's potential, of certain technical
aspects such as programming and Systems Analysis
and design among others. Bob, along with the others
I have mentioned, believes it vital that management
know precisely what we are doing in CIA, how we
are handling our programs internally, and what we
are aiming for.

in the Management Sciences. A great deal of interest
has already been shown in this volume and I believe
we can develop this into an excellent device in support
of training in the Management Sciences.
Their interest appeared to be more in the field of
external training and the various educational oppor-
tunities available. They do, however, subscribe to
the desirability for internal "consumer" education.
They were especially interested in the Management
Sciences notebook which had pulled
together. This is a compilation of all the material
we have available on external training opportunities
