3. As you know, the Army Management Course was
revised this year and entitled Army Installation Management
Course, and the decision was made not to request a set Agency
quota from CONARC for FY 1966. However, we have recently
received several inquiries about the revised course; specifically,
final pay check as reimbursement for this training.
It is requested that $240.00 be deducted from
September 1963 totaling 24 credit hours. Her last sponsored
training was the 1965 winter term for two economics courses at

4. The next Agency quota in the Ballistic Missile Staff
Familiarization Course, Vandenberg AFB, will be used by
Major General Richard Collins, USA (Ret.), Member, Board
of National Estimates. The course begins 4 October and the
nomination letter has been forwarded to Vandenberg AFB,
with a copy to SAC Headquarters.
5. An ORR employee, was 25X1
approved by the Training Selection Board in May 1965 to
attend the University of Maryland full time in September 1965
to pursue a graduate program in economics. ORR 25X1
Personnel Officer, tells us has experienced a 25X1
great deal of difficulty in registering. It seems his credits,
etc., are not transferable to Maryland in the course of study
he requires. Hence, ORR was requesting permission for
to enter discussions with George Washington
University, where he had previously studied, and, if admitted,
to plan on beginning his studies in the winter semester.
I requested ORR to send a supporting memorandum to the
Registrar and the Training Selection Board so we can amend the
present contract.

entitled, "Radioisotopes in Research" , being conducted by
the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, beginning

paid by Treasury check which will carry with him.
A rush advance was carried to Key Building yesterday.
7. It is always interesting to hear what other Government
agencies allow in sponsored external training programs. Yester-
day we called Dr. Evert Little, FSI, to ask
about State's policy regarding books in part-time and full-time
training. (This stemmed from BPAM, who
has been sDonsored for several part-time courses at American
Universit. Dr. Little said that State
does not authorize books in par - ime training; only for full time

and then to a limited degree. (Very similar to OTR policy --
no books for part time; with exception of language programs --
books and supplies for full time; only primary texts, not
secondary.) He mentioned that Commerce and Agriculture,
on the other hand, do allow books in part-time training. Also,
State only started this year to pay the admission/ registration
fees in addition to tuition.
8. called regarding the Defense
Management Systems Course, Monterey. He is certain that
the Agency will be given two billets in the 2 January class

of invitation for the next running will be coming to the Agency
shortly, even though the course will not convene again until
August 1966.
9. Yesterday I made a routine check with Mr. William
ssion, at
to check on the enrollment of OCI, in the
Fellowship in Congressional Operations (beginning mid-November
1965). Mr. Medina said was almost certain to be
selected; although his age (49) is far above the average for this
course. However, qualifications are most
impressive. (Incidentally, Mr. Medina mentioned that some
of the other nominations received at Civil Service Commission
were "pathetic. 5 He also told me that Mr. John Macy, the
Directors of the Mid-Career and Intern Training Programs
at CSC, and all of the past graduates (30, including our

with the President. Mr. Medina said the session was very
rewarding; in fact, the President stated his feeling that this
is one of the most significant programs run by the Federal
Government and he directed that each agency be represented
in the November running. Mr. Medina said that letters
went out yesterday over Mr. Macy's signature to those
agencies Ah o have not submitted nominations for the November
class. He suggested that CIA might wish to nominate an
alternate to so that we will surely be represented
in the course. The deadline for nominations has been
extended to 15 October.
