A. I had some mixed feelings on briefing DDS. At times I
felt that he was outwardly looking at what I was presenting but
inwardly concentrating on some subject-matter of more immediate
concern than the Registrar Staff. Yet he clearly announced -
when I had finished a 40 minute presentation - that "these
charts and comments were exactly what I wanted." Further, he
stated as we departed that he need not retain the charts know-
ing that I was following such matters as these over a period of
years and would have them available if needed. The time of day
is conducive to yawning; he suppressed all but a tiny one.,
I was very favorably impressed by the rapidity with which
released a Memo for the Record summarizing the Registrar
Staff briefing given to Colonel White and otherspresent at the
time. I was less favorably impressed by the reportorial inaccuracy
or incompleteness of the summary. To set the record straight:
Reported: "The Registrar reported an average weekly enroll-
ment of 416 trainees during Fiscal Year 1963."
RS Version: The Registrar reported an average weekly enroll-
ment of 416 trainees during calendar year 1963. He also pointed
out that this "average" excluded all black training, all clerical
induction training, and all briefings of the OTR Orientation and
Briefing Officer; in addition, to show the seasonal variations all
VLTP was omitted from the chart too. With or without the exclu-
sions, calendar year 1963 exceeded all previous years in number
of students enrolled.
Reported: "About 12,000 requests for external training are
processed by the Registrar each year."
RS Version: The Registrar predicted that the cumulative num-
ber of requests logged in from 1 January 1953 will reach 12,000
by May 1964. Requests are being received at a faster rate in re-

cent years, and will reach a peak of 2,500 in FY 64.
Reported: "Ninety-four percent of the people who submit
training requests, therefore, follow through and take some course."
RS Version: I reported to Colonel White that a survey made
by OTR six years ago showed that 6% of the requests which reached
OTR were disapproved or withdrawn (also 85% honored as received,
9% honored after changes made by OTR). There are numerous dis-
approvals of training requests by Career Boards, Supervisors, and
Office Heads that never reach OTR.
Reported: "Colonel White suggested that the Office of Train-
ing look into the feasibility of including at least a day or two
of orientation by the School of International Communism."
25X1A9a RS Version: This may be a true statement, for
and I were not in a position to take notes at this time. However,
each of us recollects that the time-period proposed by DDS was
much less than "a day or two." I recommend that this point be
25X1A9a clarified when appears for a briefing.
B. Although I had reported on my attendance at the Inter-
agency Advisory Group session during last week's OTR Staff Meeting,
some of the topics covered are briefly repeated here for record
purposes:
1. Summer Employment - Warren Irons recommended against
planning for summer employees this year, in view of the economy
squeeze. If there is any summer hiring at all, apportionment would
control throughout the standard metropolitan area here. Excluded
from these limitations are the postal field service, the under-
graduate authority, and engineering trainees. (All of the fore-
going was passed on to upon my return from the IAG
meeting. Harry, in turn, told me that OP had about decided that
a.m. to discontinue the summer employee practice within the Agency
in 1964).
2. Kings Point Executive Seminar Center - Three or four
members of a committee reported on their visit of December 1
the Kings Point Academy. Principal spokesman was
None of the comments were of curricular matters (except the in-
direct mention that some of the college professors were being

asked to use governmental examples -- instead of business or in-
dustry -- hereafter). Considerable talk centered on the physical
facilities.
Because of economy and ceiling, Mr. Irons announced the CSC
decision to defer opening of the other two centers.
It was agreed by all present that a uniform per diem of
$2.50 per student day could, and would, be adhered to so as to
eliminate gross disparities in per diem allowances ranging from
$1.00 to $16.00. (Our previous position had been $3.00).
3. Reports on Super-Grade Employees - The Federal Personnel
Manual requires some reporting details by 15 January. CIA is ex-
cepted from the FPM reporting requirement.
4. Union Dues - Warren Irons queried attendees about problems
in collecting union dues. Two or three representatives reported in-
cidents involving considerable disagreement with labor officials
on the mechanics of dues collection.
It is my understanding that the Director of Personnel cus-
tomarily receives a CSC version of what transpired at this meeting.
C. I have been notified by J. Kenneth Mulligan, Chairman of
the Committee on Interagency Training Programs, that our next meet-
ing will be held in CSC's Conference Roan on Tuesday afternoon,
21 January. The three-hour agenda is to include discussion of:
Interagency Training Programs Bulletins
Distribution of Announcements and Acceptance of
Nominations
Significant Agency Developments
OCD Program Directors' Reports
Use of OCD Nomination Cards by Agencies
The "OCD" in the topics above refers to the Commission's
Office of Career Development; Mulligan is its Director.
D. The master Agency Training Record, complete and updated
as of 31 December 1963, is now in the process of computer preparation.
Marcella and Wendell met with - on Monday to determine the
specific features of the reports to be produced at this time. The
basic roster of individual training, two variant machine runs show-
ing training by component and by course, and two special reports

requested by non-OTR users of ATR data will be delivered to the
Registrar Staff within the next 3 to 5 days.
It has been indicated to us that after this printing of the
Agency Training Record, the Medical Staff will propose withdrawal
of its automatic data processing support to the Registrar Staff.
This development is not unexpected; in fact, it is in line, we
believe, with agreements made at the time the A & E Staff was
transferred out of OTR. It does mean, however, that henceforth
we must look directly to the Office of Computer Services for pro-
gramming, systems planning, and other necessary ADP support.
E. OTR has not yet received any formal nominations for
NIPA Career Education Awards for the 1964-65 academic year. How-
ever, a telephonic check yesterday with Senior Training Officers
revealed that there is interest in the program and Directorates
are preparing papers for sponsorship of candidates in the follow-
ing numbers: DDI - 1; DDS&T - 1; DDP - 0; DDS - 2. Senior
Training Officers were reminded that central screening of recom-
mendations and final selection of nominees for Agency endorsement
to the National Institute of Public Affairs must be accomplished
before 1 February.
