orientation session to be introduced by the; Director or the D{.:outy

morale building purposes. dise:.gree::d with this and
felt that the primary morale builder was the knowledge of what the
various Offices in CLL. accomplished. Mr. Dulles suggested a modification
in the program so as not to have mass attendance by the flssietruit
Directors. They should be fitted in only where necessary.

in the overt offices spend too mach time azt their desks in Pish.ington
and they have evidenced a groat desire to travel. a is air-aid that
consequently he may lose a number to SO or PC. 1'Jr. Dulles sub ostcd
