MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, Central Reference Service
FROM : John F. Blake
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT : Support to the Agency Military Reserve Component
1. As you know, my office is responsible for monitoring the
Agency's military reserve component. During the training year, the
unit holds weekly meetings on Monday evenings in the Auditorium.
It is not unusual for the unit to sponsor guest speakers of high rank
from both the diplomatic and military departments in the Washington
Area. We do not fund for support to the unit other than for personnel
and services, and the unit must therefore depend upon the cooperation
of many Agency components throughout the training year for whatever
assistance it needs.
2. One form of presentation - film - is undergoing technical
changes. In the past, all film programs were in 16mm format and
could thus be projected on equipment readily available in the
Auditorium. Currently, many films are being produced in the video
cassette format and this is especially true of programs obtained from
DOD sources. It has been brought to my attention that the only equipment
now available for projecting video cassettes in the Auditorium is
controlled by CRS.
3. The military reserve program is a vital one and one which
has been supported by this Agency and the military departments for
many years. I am therefore asking for your cooperation to support
the unit on those infrequent occasions when the need arises to project
video cassettes and with the understanding that your primary functions
will take precedence if a conflict should arise.
