Mr. Allen discussed the purpose. of.an,..LAS/consumer conference. The
idea is not to drum up additional business b ut'.to.more effectively use
our services and promote a greater awareness of IAS in managers at all
levels at:. the production offices Basically the approach would be to:
acquaint them with what.IAS.has been doing for them the past two years,
in terms of volume and type work; on a selective basis show them what we
do for other offices, for a better appreciation of our full capabilities;

and relate to them examples and ideas of additional kinds of things we
could do for them.
This kind of show and tell approach could open new avenues of analyti-
cal approach, new analytical concepts, and make for better use of Agency's
resources here and at Headquarters.
The first of these conferences would be with OSR, about 12 March,
and last some two hours. Conferences with IAS' other principal consumers
would be scheduled for a later date.
