The first joint meeting of the two Inter-agency Roundtables since
the early 1960's was hosted on Thursday the 27th by FSI's Language School
Dean James Frith. About 50 persons attended, including a few invited
guests. Acting Director Howard Sollenberger -- who was introduced by
Dean Frith as being close to an appointment as Director -- spoke to the
group and stayed on through the two-hour meeting.
A proposal by the Area group looking to closer cooperation between
the two Roundtables appeared to find general support. This was to
establish a joint standing committee which would meet during the summer
for discussions in depth of the common interests of both groups and
means of furthering them. I who will shortly bow out as Chair-
man of the Area group, is working with Jim Frith and the Defense Language
Institute's Joseph Hutchinson on setting up the standing committee. On
a different point, 0 briefed the meeting on the new Experiential Cross-
cultural Training Workshop which he recently attended at the Center for
Research and Education in Estes Park, Colorado. Mr. Sollenberger expressed
his interest in having CRE's Associate Director Albert R. Wight come to
Washington to put on a similar workshop for trainers in several agencies.
