MORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT : Senior Management Seminar (Plannii
REFERENCE : Your memo to DO/S dtd 26 Apr 71, same subject
car reviewing the reference, I am not persuaded that we would be
denying the senior managers of the Agency any : ignificant educational opportunity
if we do not renew the contract with the consultant. My inclination is to allow
the consultant contract to expire at the end of FY 71 and not offer it in PY 72.
If you feet strongly that we should offer it once more I tin willing to go along
with your judgment. I do not agree, however, that we should evaluate the
program further and leave the door open for an extension of the contract into
FY 73. By that time we should be in a position to restructure the program in
whatever way is appropriate to satisfy our known demand using our own resources.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT Senior Management Seminar (Planning)
1. You asked that I review the recommendation to terminate the
Senior Management Seminar (Planning) at the end of Fiscal Year 1971.
My review has led me to conclude that we should schedule one SMS(P)
in FY 72 and discontinue the course only if there is insufficient interest
in that particular offering.
2. In June, 1970, Support Directorate Seminar (Problem Solving)
#5 recommended termination of the SMS(P) on the grounds that the
SMS(P) and Advanced Management (Planning) are virtually identical in
content and that we can realize financial savings in the amount of the
consultant's fee for conducting the SMS(P). The Chief, Management
Training, concurred in this proposal, noting that insufficient registra-
tion had forced the cancellation of the SMS(P) scheduled for May, 1970,
and that the registration for October of 1969 and June of 1970 were less
than satisfactory. The following tabulation shows attendance by grade
and by course:
