impressions of last Friday's program, and offer the follow-
ing comments.
a. The Director. His participation lent
and au h Lri ,,,,,lo the proceedings. Hopefully he can be
persuaded to appear in subsequent programs; but in
any case it is important that supervisors realize his
seriousness of purpose in requesting such a review.
b. Colonel White. An excellent statement, reflect-
ing his own convictions as to fairness and firmness in
supervision as well as his knowledge of management
doctrine. However, without weakening the case for
"Theory Y", he might have developed a bit more the
kinds of situations in which the supervisor has to apply
"Theory X".

officer point of view. The technical responsibilities
of supervisors with respect to finance were over-
stressed, and it is very probable that supervisors
without overseas experience would miss a number
of his references. It would be better if more stress
his subject was treated too much from the certifying
c. Dr. Tietjen. A well-balanced presentation,
unexpectedly effective in its philosophical treatment
of environment factors. It would be useful to have
more specific guida, _.j. wlae. a supervisor should
refer an employee for medical review or advice.
d. Mr. Fuchs. Made many excellent points, but

were put upon the supervisor's responsibility to note
and correct the all-too- requen"imsra-ice f et"ty
chiseling, e. g. padding expense accounts, personal
use of government-owned equipment and materials,
which erode employee morale and supervisory disci-
pline.
e. Security Office speaker. A good presentation
but obviously aimed more at individual employee aware-
ness than at supervisory responsibility. If it is to con-
tinue as a part of the supervisory reorientation program
this emphasis should be changed.
f. Mr. Echols. An excellent summary of current
regulations and handbooks but overly didactic, impersonal
and procedural for the occasion. Here is where the super-
visor's leadership and counseling role should be tressed,
and the main aspects of his responsibility recapped.
g. The Panel. Well handled, and particular4r good
in that all questions, good or bad, got a hearing. How-
ever, we doubt that it is worth the time and question
whether it should be a feature of an Agency-wide program
at all levels. A summary by the Director of Personnel
of the salient points made during the day probably would
suffice.
h. Overall. A good program, but should be shortened
by including by reference rather than by repeating material
which is already in Agency regulatory publications.
