MEMORANDUM FOR: SA/CD
This is a very good paper. I had occasion to review
it with Bob Wattles and Harry Fisher today. They felt too, I think, that we
are definitely headed in the right direction and their observations are few.
One of the first ones they made was that our profile of courses and specifi-
cally of the core should be considered as guidance and that almost each
office--but certainly each Directorate--should probably define its own pecu-
liar profile. Could you crank something into the paper along these lines?
We have pending from Mr. Colby several observations
regarding first, the need to crank some management principles, particularly
those of leadership, into our more popular courses or core training; and
secondly, at the same time he has evinced quite an interest in the incorpora-
tion of at least orientation on ADP and innovative technological advances in
the handling of the information sciences. Could you likewise make brief
references to these requirements and the fact that we will be incorporating
at appropriate levels information in these fields.
Generally, I wonder if the paper really examines the
relationship between training and its value. It may be more appropriate to
say that this paper concerns itself with that problem.
I think that paragraph 3 ought to be called something
other than apperception or the beginning of maturing.
On page 5, obviously we must state the difference
between management and other courses in some terms other than mind-
stretching or at least not exclude the managerial field as having mind -stretch -
Ing qualities.
I think that on page 8 Harry Fisher and company--if
you would like to call there--could give you some help on answering how
many GS-14s were in fact promoted in 1971.
