A. There has been a recent surge of interest in
usage of the Kings Point Executive Seminar Center during FY
1966. In late May had some 25X1
difficulty in persuading Senior Training Officers to agree to a
total Agency estimate of 14 spaces in the Seminars (including
four at a new Center which was to be activated either on the West
Coast or in the Midwest). The situation at the moment reveals
that the DDI desires to nominate 17 persons for the Kings Point
offerings and informal reports from the DDS&T and DDS indicate
that these Directorates will come through soon with estimates of

interest in receiving such reports by the component Training
Officer, the employee's supervisor, and the individual student
concerned. We are looking into our reporting procedures in an
attempt to streamline them. Of course, it will be no problem
to insure that does not receive superfluous copies
of certificates of attendance in OTR courses on senior personnel.
However, we feel that we should not move too hastily in curtail-
ing our dissemination pattern for Training Reports; we certainly
do not desire to perpetuate unnecessary paper handling but we
wish to make certain that reporting on training accomplishment
satisfies the needs expressed by responsible administrative and
career service officials with respect to the great body of their
personnel, namely those in middle and junior ranks.

D. This past week saw the formal issuance of
three Headquarters regulations in the Training 0 series. The 25X1
appearance of these regulations is gratifying in that it represents
the culmination of a writing and coordination effort which was
begun considerably better than a year ago. Two of the regulations
are brand new: Midcareer Training Program, and HR
Training Selection Board. In newly revised form is HR
