A. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
None to report
B. OTHER ACTIVITIES
1. saw C/OS in order to explore means of obtaining
appropriate Agency case data for purposes of illustration and
discussion in the IOE. While the outlook is bleak for inducing
DDP to release suitable cases, we will follow up on leads given
us by C/OS to a number of persons in OTR with rich field experience.
We feel it will be possible to use portions of their statements
drawn from their own and their wives' experiences. Much case data
from non-Agency sources will of course also be used, but we feel
that some reference to the Agency's own experience is highly
desirable, even from the psychological viewpoint alone.
2. Our briefing on the 20th of five TO's, including those
assigned to BE, NE, and WH, drew out current thinking in the DDP
divisions about the Overseas Effectiveness program. Apparently
there is considerable sentiment for pointing the program as much
as possible toward the area to which enrollees are assigned, and
for using actual case histories as liberally as possible. C/EE
reportedly would like to see the IOE merged with the AAO. NE's
candidates for the course may be one or two persons destined for
the field at a later date, for whom a two-year training program
has been mapped.
3. 1 also sounded out the DDP TO's on the possibility of
their feeding us information on field assignments, with sufficient
lead-time to meet our needs under any plan for expanding the AAO
program. The responses were encouraging, and, with PPS's help,
we will explore all possible ways of obtaining the desired
information on a regular basis.
4. gave two showings of his African-Middle Eastern
slides. ve persons from o/TR attended the showing in Quarters
Eye, and approximately twenty-five from NE and AP attended the
one in "I" Building.
