3. Support Services Review: Trends and Highlights
The class scheduled to be given the week beginning 7 June
1971 will be changed in two respects from previous runnings. First, in
response to a suggestion made by the Director of Training, the Deputy
Director for Support has agreed to address the class at the end of the
course rather than at the beginning. Secondly, there will be an input
for the first time by the Special Support Assl_starait- to the Deputy Director
for Support. This input should provide an overview of the relationship
of the Support Directorate to the Clandestine Service and show how the
two Directorates work together.

the availability of external training facilities for shorthand and typing,

interested Agency personnel who have a particular need for this informa-
tion. The listing includes data on adult education classes, college and
university classes, and business school offerings.

"automated environment".
