1. On 28-30 March, MTB ran its fifth Leading People in CIA of 1988,
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
and contractor Ann Casey Bryant.
Chief of the Operations Support Branch, Office o Logistics
served as manager-in-the-classroom. She provided commentary throughout
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.

presentation of the classroom version from the "Management" series. It
was on motivation. She was impressed by the presenter and the video
segments employed but did not think it would fit into any existing

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
received requests for some 100 copies of the conference report,
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
Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Maryland, the
Foreign Science and Technology Center and the Office of Naval
25X1 Research.

in response to an earlier visit to CRES by ArVcsi to solicit their
25X1 interest in such a gathering, said that while his branch
chiefs felt that there was a real need for some kind of SIGINT
conference involving both CIA and NSA, they preferred to handle this
themselves, for relatively small groups, on a geographic basis. He

On 1 April 1988, 15 members of the Federal Executive
Institute's National Security. Policy Seminar visited CIA for an

policy of including a day at CIA in the curriculum for the Seminar.

I. The Applications Development Institute courses continued to meet
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.
