B. OTHER ACTIVITIES
1. ~ talked with of the Management Staff, on
LAS responsibilities in the language testing and language awards
program. expressed satisfication with the function-
ing of the LAS components, expressing the view that we had to
a very considerable extent anticipated any suggestions he might
have had for improvement of administrative procedures. He was
told of LAS's plans for separating the test development function
from that of test administration.
2. participated in the preliminary consideration of OTR
space requirements for the new building. In so far as LAS is
concerned, it is apparent that separation of full-time and part-
time training is going to raise very definite staffing problems.
Space allocation in the new building for part-time training
appears adequate at the present time, although the lack of small
class-rooms for language training will pose problems.
3. On 25 May went over to the FSI to confer with Rice,
Miss Wilds, and Dieli on test standards and grading. He also
consulted with Hodge, Noss, and Harter to inquire about possible
native speakers of Cambodian, Hausa, Laotian, and Sinhalese.

Croatian, Czech, Danish, German, Hindi, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish,
and Portuguese.
5. Sixty-one Certifications for Language Award certificates were
sent to the Registrar last week.
