MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Training
SUBJECT' Senior Management Course
REFERENCE : DD/S 72-2295 (DTR-7616), 9 June 1972,
Subject: Management Training
25X1A 1. The "Management Block" in the Senior Seminar obviously
impressed This is good news. I, too, think that said
"Block" is a perfectly reasonable bit of management training.
2. Mr. Coffey clearly is anxious to put something together
for Mr. Colby as quickly as possible. I assume that DD/S 72-2295
is primarily talking about training for senior officers inasmuch as
we appear to be on the track with assorted "inserts" to IWA and
Midcaree:r to be added to our existing Grids and FSM courses.
3. I urge you to consider offering the "Management Block"
of the Senior Seminar to Mr. Coffey as the prototype for the senior
management course that Mr. Colby desires. This will get us off
the ground and give Messrs. Wattles, Coffey, and Colby something
concrete (and in writing) to react to. Also, this step will constitute
an immediate response, which seems to be vital at this point. Also,
the "Block" has a reputation which should help "sell" it.

4. No matter what sort of package we send forward, there will
be revisions, additions, and deletions as time goes by and as various
senior officers contribute to the formulation of the doctrine which a
senior management course should offer. It seems sensible to start
with a package that has already established itself and to press for-
ward from that point rather than continue to spin our wheels trying
to develop something from scratch. With your approval, we will
discuss this proposal with and work up a detailed prospectus
for forwarding to Mr. Coffey.
