proposed schedule and a reply to the AMC visit request of 4 January 1966

DO/SiliT by Dr. Wheelan and some of his Office Directors.

quarters seminar each al the past three years, had not previously solicited
Agency participation. We anticipate a group 01 90-100 persons, 60% civilian,
40% military. Civilian grades GS9-13; military, amtain-calonel.
4. At this time we do not know whether any of the AMC general officers plan
to accompany the group on 5 April. If they do, we may ask that an Agency senior

Cafeteria.
