MEMORANDUM: FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT Weekly Activities Report - Language School
1. We have begun to explore the idea of a summer intern program
at the Language School for young linguists who might be able to help
us in our research and development efforts. I have talked about
summer intern programs with and plan to discuss ways
of implementing such a program with him next week. We hope to start
our first intern in the summer of 1973.
2. We are continuing our support to USDA's Russian course for
NASA officials involved in the point U.S.-Soviet space project.
After supplying them with recommenc3a,tions for materials and enough
tapes to get them started, their tape duplicator broke down last
week and they turned to us again for help. Our technicians hurriedly
prepared 50 copies of Russian tapes they needed to keep their courses
going. In addition, the Deputy Director of the USDA Graduate Schaol,
after visiting the Language School, felt that we might be able to
help them ~urith their entire language program. He asked
to serve as a consultant to their foreign language planning committee.
3. has set up a small collection of paperback books
in the Language School Library as a kind of clearinghouse for people
who read paperback fiction and would like to exchange books. The
exchange service will be available to anyone in the building who
wants to use it.
4. Personnel Notes:
a. back operation was apparently a complete
success. She returned to work on a part-time basis this
week.
b. attended a Civil Service Commission course
on ways to use automation in the handling of library records.
Although there are no immediate steps that we can take toward
automating the operation of our library, June did get some
ideas about how we might proceed when computer facilities
become available in 'the building.

We discussE~d an appropriate date for the International Luncheon and

as a more ositions on Capitol Hill since their
selections must be made by the first week in December, which is much
earlier than in previous Programs. As part of the APSA orientations,
