met with Dr. Dennis A. Swyt, the Deputy Director o t e enter
for Manufacturing Engineering at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).
The NBS Center has about 300 personnel investigating and developing
state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. A tour of its manufacturing
laboratory was included. Dr. Swyt addressed the issues that a CIM course
for the la an should include and has agreed to host the CIM course on
14 July.
3. The Experienced Intelligence Assistants Course on 6-13 May,
attended by only three students, was a complete success. The decision
was made to go ahead with the course despite the small enrollment because
the instructor was available and the next running is scheduled in October.
The students were given a choice and opted to proceed with the course.
Fewer students allowed more time for exercises and more individual
attention. The course incorporated for the second time a class project
presented on the last day to the Chairman of the DI Intelligence
Assistants Panel. The project chosen was a survey form to be completed
by IAs listing training and travel opportunities. The students will
present the project to the IA Panel at a later date. The students
greatly appreciated the training. One stated in her evaluation: "This
has been the best course I have taken in the Agency in terms of a
relevant learning experience. I feel I can immediately put into practice
the skills I've been exposed to."

4. Professor Herbert Levine of the University of Pennsylvania spoke
to the Soviet Economy Block on 10 May on "Capital--Investment, Capital
Stock, and Capital-Output Ratios." He noted that the Soviet Union has
sustained a high level of investment in its economy since the end of
World War II, but since the late 1970s economic growth has been very
low. Part of the reason has been the lack of new technology and
innovation in machinery output--some machinery currently produced is
already obsolete when it is placed into operation. One of Gorbachev's
goals is to modernize Soviet capital stock as rapidly as possible, and
some turnaround has been achieved since he assumed the leadership.
5. On 13 May the Topical Issues Branch successfully completed the
fifth running of Understanding Insurgency and Counterinsurgency. All 15
students gave the 3 1/2-day course very high marks. The three State/INR
attendees remarked that they planned to recommend the course for State's
country-desk officers as well as for others in INR. The Agency students,
ranging in grade from GS-7 to GS-13, represented three of the four
directorates (DO 2, DS$T 2 DI 8). The teaching staff appreciated the
cooperative attitude in administration of the course
and benefited from new system for handling of mail.

The Center's invitation to a seminar on oral
history project has encountered a tremendous response. The DS$T,
for whatever reason, is the only Directorate not sending anyone. To
accommodate the demand we are changing the format of the seminar.
Instead of holding two two hour sessions for about 20 people, we are
dividing the group in half and holding one two-hour session for each
group. This will give Ralph a broader sam ling. of Agency views and
give more people a glimpse of his work.
Representatives of the Harvard program will be in town on
18 and 19 May for a study group session on the program's first real
case study (The fall of Marcos) and a meeting with the participants
in the first three runnings of the seminar. We will also be
discussing ways of malting discreet and fruitful contact with the
Dukakis staff.

June. IMS asked for help in setting up a new budget initiative called
"Dolphin" which will integrate the DO's information handling systems of
the future. Creativity sessions will focus on the information needs of
the IMS consumers after the year 2000 and explore approaches to the
processing and handling of these data. A secondary objective of the
session will be to bring together as a team all those officers in IMS who
can help solve the problem and get them to work more effectively with
each other, listen to their customers needs and concerns, and bring into
the planning process those support elements such as OC, OIT, and OS.
This should be a fairly challenging session for our OTE facilitators for
many of the participants already have their minds made up on what needs
to be done and there are many turf issues.
6. met with Positive Power and Influence (PPI)
contractors Bev Kaye and Allen Vengel on 11 May to complete plans for FY
1989. MTB will sponsor five runnings of PPI as part of the Electives for
Managers program. Two MTB trainers will begin the instructor
certification process; now of CT division will complete the
process. OTE trainers will co-train in all the runs; this will reduce
the need for contractors and eliminate it by the end of the year, thus
considerably reducing the cost of the program.
7. On 17 May, "CEO Colloquium" travelled to New York City for a
working dinner at the Wall Street Club with the CEO of Kidder, Peabody.
