MEMORANDUM FOR TIIE RECORD
SUBJECT: Senior ;.seminar
UI~ of >'' - /~/ cc, 17-
" 1. In a meeting with kv.csr3r s. Coffey, Cunningham, Fisher,
and0 we discussed the Senior Seminar. After seine discu:cia;x
of the running of a Seminar this spring, the condition was set that
Ic_riteria be established for admission to the Seminar, specifically
involving a certificate by the nominating ;Deputy Director that the
individual ,would probably receive an additional promotion and was
clearly destined for higher re; ponsibilitier3 in his directorate.
Z. We continued the discussion into a general roundup of the
relatierr: hi.p between Training and Pereon.nel and the necessity for
Interface between them so that the training program could be care-
1 fully constructed to comtriLut ; to the institutional iiy:.provex{tent of
the Agency, rather than the individual inir ovement of th{; tude'nts
only. This suggested the d.csirabili:;y of e tabl.ishinn p atto 'ns or
tracks of courses, criteria for adrn;ssion thereto, a review of the
impact of their training on career 3 on a post-audit basis, anei the
necessity for sanctions to unsure the application of stringent stan-
f_tirthor
dards of selection and trairiir.i~ . CoEic;r will consult-
with Messrs. Fisher and Cunningham on this point and a:rl,vise further.
