5. The Defense Supply Agency, in conjunction with the
American Petroleum Institute, will be conducting a Defense
Petroleum Indoctrination Course in Houston, Texas from 24
through 28 May. This course is geared for people occupying
positions in which a general knowledge of the over-all operations
of the petroleum industry would be of value. It is only given
twice a year at various locations throughout the U. S. The DDI
Senior Training Officer has been contacted regarding nominees
for the two spaces allocated the Agency.
6. A search is still on to obtain a candidate for the 3 May
DODCI Senior Executive Course. O/DCI and DDS do not have a
nominee this time, and DDI and the CS are now checking for a
possible candidate. (Grade level is GS-16 and up; no cost. )
7. attended the 20th Annual Convention of
the American Personnel and Guidance Association in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, from 4 - 8 April. The theme of the convention
was "Human Rights --. Our Concern for Change." Among the
500 sessions, there were many which had direct pertinence to
problems encountered in our counseling service. Ruth feels
that attendance at the convention was worthwhile and information
obtained will give her useful guidance in the, future. Specific
meetings attended will be reported on in more detail.

National Society for Programmed Instruction and has prepared a
summary which is available to those interested.

items prepared for input into the Agency Training Record totaled

internal. We received our error listings and-were delighted to
find that of the total, only 59 items will require corrections and
re-input. This is our best record to date in input/error transactions
("kick-outs"j, we (and OCS) are pleased at the improvement.

10. OGC, started a special legal
training program on 12 April. It is being sponsored by the
Institute for Court Management (Headquarters in Denver,
Colorado) and has the strong endorsement of Attorney General
Mitchell. Only twenty Government lawyers have been selected.
25X1A9a nomination by Mr. Houston was approved by
Col. White. The first two weeks will involve study of various
judicial systems and courts at the county and state level.
25X1A9a will be at the Arlington County Courthouse in Arlington.
From mid-June to mid-August the group will be in Aspen, Colorado.
Also involved are round trips from Aspen to Washington and Miami.
Tuition will be approximately $2, 500. We'will meet with
25X1A9a this week, at which time we should have the
back-up information needed to cut the travel order, estimate
per diem, etc.

11. The OC Training Officer contacted AIR this week to
discuss a special training requirement and to alert us that a
memorandum will be coming to the DDS and/or the DTR from
the Director, OC, with a request for assistance in meeting this
priority requirement. A newly designed piece of equipment,
ACT-I (Automatic Communication Terminal), developed under
contract is presently being
installed in the Signal Center and will be operational in the fall.
Its major function is to scan cables automatically and determine
distribution, etc. In line with this, it was' necessary for Commo's
Security Division to design a new cable form to be compatible with
ACT-I's design. This has been completed; now each secretary
and/or typist must receive special training in the preparation of
this form. In view of the large number and wide dispersion of
typists who need this training, it looks like a perfect situation to
use programmed instruction. There appears to be time to develop
a program. Commo estimates it would take two days for training
using conventional methods. Programmed Instruction would
1probably use less time and can be taken to the student. An invest-
ment of time and effort on a program would appear worthwhile
J since the system appears to be one which will be used from now
on. I recommend we discuss the possibility with the Office of
Communications.
12. For the past 30 days we have kept a record of the number .
of persons using the Library. We have serviced at least 904 ITS
persons within this period. We have also checked out 123 books,
which includes loan requests from Headquarters and other
buildings. There are an average of two calls a day for information
from the college catalogs and 20 of the catalogs are out on loan
at any given time.
