1. Yesterday received an informal confirma-
tion of a trend we have been following in the External Training
Branch. Interest in Asian studies is picking up. As an example,
for the next Regional Seminar, East Asia (23 March - 10 April),
we have the following students: an ORR cartographer, an OSI
Soviet Russia senior analyst, an OSI EOD analyst, an FE
experienced case officer, and an FE intelligence assistant. In
the past we have sent FE, OCR, or_ employees. As you know, F OIAb3 b1
we secured information on the East-West Center for an FE require-
ment. Although FE has always sent students to FSI's school at
we have more enrollments for the coming year than we
have had for some time.
During a briefing the senior analyst from OSI told
25X1A9a that Mr. McCone has directed Dr. Wheelon to shift
OSI's emphasis from the USSR to China. In the past OSI had one
senior analyst working on foundation studies on China, whereas
the USSR had a full staff. The informant had been a USSR
specialist for ten years and was shifted overnight to China,
as were several of her colleagues. If this trend continues,
you may wish to increase your information on Asian studies.
2. The attached schedule of lectures given at The National
War College for the month of March shows an emphasis on Asia.
The topics would indicate an over-all Agency interest. February
was the first month that distribution of a Special Bulletin
announcing the National and Industrial College lectures was not
25X1A9a made. noticed in the February schedule that the
following lectures would be of interest to the Office of
Communications and the Office of Logistics: "The Role of
Telecommunications in National Security" and "The Role of
Transportation in National Security". As a result of her call,
two Logistics' employees went to both lectures and two Commo
employees to the Telecommunications lecture. There were no
other attendees for the month of February at either college.

3. The deadline for the Army Management Course (TSB Action)
is this coming Monday. We have not received the name of a candi-
date. The Registrar of the Army Management School called today
about our nominees for this course and also the Army Management
Orientation. We did not cancel our space for the three-week
course, but stalled for more time. On the Army Management Orien-
tation (deadline 13 April assured her we would use the two
spaces.
4. NE,
were given preliminary briefings this week prior to their partici-
pation in senior officer programs. Although it may seem early,
- very definitely needs to know the itinerary for the
Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy. He will be going on a number
of domestic and foreign orientation trips for
who does not wish him to duplicate any of the areas covered by
the Senior Seminar. problem
for this year's senior officer group. He will be reassigned
overseas upon completion of the program, therefore,
25X1A9a

early arrival was simply good planning.
He, however, raised interesting travel questions. He is planning
to rent his house here, store his household effects, and rent a
furnished apartment while in Montgomery. If he were allowed to
go TDY (Maximum per diem not to exceed cost of domestic move)
he would not lose money which quite often happens with a domestic
move. It has been done in the past for senior officers. What should
our mechanism move be for getting such approval on the Deputy
Director level?
25X1A9a 5. is the coordinator for the Senior
Seminar in Foreign Policy until further notice.
6. It is obvious that our budget requirement sheets have
arrived in the operating components. The calls are numerous and
varied.
25X1A9a Reference my Weekly No. 7, 24 February 1964, concerning
oom charges while attending the Advanced Manage-
ment Program - we have recalled our folders on former AMP students
from the Records Center at the request of the Chief, Confidential 25X1A9a
Funds Division. It appears that is really going to
have all of the answers before the problem is presented to
Colonel White.

8. During the meeting
_ and myself concerning
Language Institute, it was decided that:
a. I will reserve spaces from the DLI as soon as
I know of the language requirement.
b. After the training is approved, I will send a
short memorandum to CCS requesting official nomination
through the Focal Point Officers referencing my informal
space reservations.
c. If Defense objects, I will then try to reserve
spaces through the FPO's. As the last fall-back line
I will ask CCS to reserve spaces prior to the official
nominations.
