SUBJECT: Weekly Activities Report
A. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
None to report.
B. OTHER ACTIVITIES
1. Mr. McFarland, Assistant to Leroy James Benoit, USIA Language and
Area Training Officer, contacted 0 with regard to full-time training
in Czech for an employee of that Agency. As no course is projected here in
the immediate future, he was advised to consult FSI or Army Language School.
2. ~ had an informal chat with TO for BE, and
discussed problems of training in the East European languages. One of the
main difficulties in arranging classes is that very often component of the
DDP has only one person requiring instruction in such languages as Serbo-
Croatian, Bulgarian or even Czech. Minor felt, however, that requirements
would in the near future increase somewhat beyond the present level.
3. Our prospective Arabic instructor, Amra, has definitely rejected
our second offer for employment. He stated that he had accepted another
position which, although not in his field, offered him a higher salary now
and more security for the future. We are therefore continuing the clearance
procedures on two other prospects. One of these should be cleared in a
short time from now, and he is therefore our best hope, although his dialect
is not precisely the kind we would prefer to have.
1~, has joined our staff as a part-time instructor
in French effective 2 c o r. is a native of Paris and has
