The Cable Secretariat is working on the latter problem and IBM publications appear eminently suitable for self-teaching of Selectric techniques. A rnernarandurn to this effect to the Director of Communications is being prepared for the signature of the Director of 'T'raining.

MANAGEMENT TRAINING 1. MEDG a. The 2$th Midcareer class returned on 13 May from a highly successful field trip to SAC Headquarters, Offutt AFB, Nebraska; Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyoming; and NASA, Gape Kennedy, Florida. The reception at the 90th Strategic Missile Wing at Warren AFB was particularly cordial. At a special luncheon given for our group, the haste outn~urnbered the guests. Brigadier General Harold 5track, the Wing Commander, and his entire staff attended the luncheon. The only cloud to mar an otherwise excellent trip was some engine trouble which delayed our departure froze Patrick AFB at Gape Kennedy by two hours an Thursday night. .Apparently the aircraft, a G-130, had been provided by the Air Force b. The final "outside" speaker in the 28th Midcareer Course was Robert Froehlke, Assistant Secretary of Defense far Administration. He was introduced to the Midcareerists by Bronson Tweedy.

General Cushman, substituting for Mr. Helms, made the closing remarks to the 28th Midcareer Ca~urse.
