Agency-level planning activity;

Directorate, and Office planning processes and their
interrelationships;
To provide information on Office-level long-range
planning processes--both current activities and
planned initiatives;
To provide a sounding board for suggestions,
criticisms, and comments regarding the Directorate
Planning Process; and
To discuss planning terms in general and establish
some uniformity in terminology for planning
discussions in the Directorate.
We feel that we did what we set out to do, and in the process
provided some valuable interoffice communication as well. (U)
