Approved For Release 2003/04/29 : CIA-RDP84-00780R004200240Q0 -4.----- SECRET 2 3 SEP 1971 DD/S REGISTR F Z L E MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Coffey SUBJECT : DDS Microfilm Information Seminar - 19 October 1971 1. I have now firmed up a date and schedule with 25X1 our microfilm consultant, for a microfilm seminar for key Support Directorate personnel. This will be a specially designed one-day session on Tuesday, 19 October which will precede 25X1 the third running of three-day seminar given to selected Agency personnel from a'irectorates. 2. Based on your suggestion that a special program high- lighting microform hardware as well as ongoing and projected DDS microform applications would be of considerable interest to the DDS office heads as well as other key DDS managerial personnel, I planned to break the day into two sessions: (a) DDS office heads and/or their deputies will be invited to attend a one and a half hour morning session from approximately 0845 to 1015. They could then proceed to your regular 1030 staff meeting. Time frames for this session are not rigid and we could keep open all morning to allow both the office heads and their deputies to attend. Also if they cannot make it at 0845 and remain the full one and a half hours they could come by just to see the hardware display and look at microfilm applications from their own offices; (b) the after- noon session from 1300 to 1630 hours will be for other key DDS managerial personnel. This session will go into more detail on microform systems analysis considerations, individual office appli- cations, and allow time for questions and discussions. 3. In order to publicize this special one-day seminar, I urge that it be made an agenda item on your office heads staff meeting on 5 October 1971. At this meeting you could give the pro- gram your backing and I would be prepared to brief the group, answer questions and pass out the attached invitation from DDS to DDS office heads with a listing of recommended participants, and an outline of items to be covered in these half day sessions. 25X1 Chief, Support Services Staff &fij,P-+i `~~I S t do,ar~r Approved For Release 2003/04/29: CIA-RDP84-0078OR004200240008-4 Approved For Release 2003/04/29 : CIA-RDP84-00780R004200t24D?98=-4/. 3 .) MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Communicates Director of Finance Director of Logistics Director of Medical Services Director of Personnel Director of Security Director of Training SUBJECT DDS Microfilm Informatiou Seminars 27 SEP 1911 1. We are holding a special one-day Microfilm Information Seminar on Tuesday, 19 October. This seminar will precede the third running of our in-house three-day Microfilm Information Seminar given to selected Agency personnel from all directorates. The special seminar will highlight microform hardware as well as on- going and projected ])1)S Microfilm applications. We believe this program will be of considerable interest to the DDS office heads as well as other key DDS managerial personnel. 2. We plan to have two sessions. DDS office heads are invited to attend ? one and a half hour morning session from approx- imately 0845 to 1015. Where possible, we hope the office heads will invite their deputies to attend either the morning or after- noon session. Office heads can proceed from the seminar to my regular 1030 staff meeting. The time frames for this session are not rigid. After a fifteen to twenty minute introduction, we will start demonstrating equipment and our microform applications to date. If office heads cannot attend the entire session, they should still plan to come by to see the hardware display and look at micro- film applications from their own offices. This can be done at any time during the session. 3. The afternoon session from 1300 to 1630 hours is for other key DDS managerial personnel. Attached, Tab A, is a listing of key DDS personnel we suggest be encouraged to attend the after- noon session. You may make substitutions within your office but please do not exceed the total numbers allotted your office. This session will go more into detail on microfilm. analysis considera- Approved For Release 2003/04/29 : CIA-RDP84-0078OR004200240008-4 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/04/29 : CIA-RDP84-0078OR004200240008-4 SECRET tions, look at individual applications by office, and allow more time for questions and discussions. 4.

Given the current interest in microfilming as a means to reduce files and improve our ability to work with them, the seminars should be a productive experienoe. Attached is an outline of the seminar for your information. I would like to see you attend and participate actively to make the seminars a success. John W.
