this one for 21 GS 7-10 supervisors mostly from the DA. The program ran
extremely well with the students giving it an evaluation of 4.85 out of
5--about the best WP OPt chaired assisted by George

Chief of the Operations Support Branch, Office o Logistics

the course and made an excellent presentation on the "view from
above"--how managers can operate more effectively in an organization.
Her down-to-earth, practical style and the fact that she had risen up
from the ranks made her a particularly effective match with the GS-10 and
below managers. This was first shot as an MTB course
chairman; she did an outs.anaing job.

Responses to and inquiries about the OTE/CSI symposium,
"Superpower and Superstate: The United States, Japan and High
Technology for the 21st Century," are still coming in six months
after the event. Wayne S. Kiyosaki, symposium coordinator, has

which has been released to National Technical Information Services
(NTIS) for sale and further distribution. The monograph, "Japanese
High Tech Information: A Beckoning Market," is being sold and
distributed by NTIS at $35.00 per copy. The largest single request
was for 35 copies from Westinghouse Corporation. Other recent
inquiries have come from the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the

chiefs felt that there was a real need for some kind of SIGINT
conference involving both CIA and NSA, they preferred to handle this

with success during this quarter. Nine seminars were presented with an
average audience of 18 students. Seventeen seminars are planned for the
third quarter. Among the more popular courses are Fundamentals of
Information Processing, Discovering the Benefits of Project Management, and
How to be an Effective User. Additional courses scheduled in the next
quarter are Database Management Planning and Administration, Introduction
to Desktop Publishing and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. We have
also acquired a number of video tapes that complement the ADI seminars. We
are carefully evaluating the substance of the seminars, relevance of the
topic, style of presentation, and student evaluations for repeat offerings
in FY 1989. We could present approximately 60 ADI seminars next year with
topics of interest to users, and managers.
