Approved For Release 20$1104105 r:_C - 0001 A00 00150001-9 MEMORANDUM TO Deputy Director of Training (G) FROM . Chief, Plans and Policy Staff SUBJECT: Administrative Training Program 1. As a result of consideration of this problem by various members of the Office of Training, and further in the light of the views of the operating offices of the Agency, and particularly those of the Assistant Deputy Director (Administration), it is clear that a firm requirement exists for the establish- ment of a broad-gauge administrative training program within the Agency. 2. It should be noted, however, that there is unanimity of agreement among the staff members of O/TR that such a program should not be a conventional "classroom textbook" type program, but rather, should consist of a series of administrative conferences conducted by the highest level administrative personnel who operate under the jurisdiction of the DD/A. Specifically, it was concluded that four such conferences should be conducted initially by the Director of Personnel, the Agency Comptroller, the Chief, General Services, and the Chief, Procurement. The objectives of such conferences would be to identify those factors in Administration at the Office level which present problems or difficulties at the Agency Administrative levels. For example, the annual problem of presenting the budget requires an extensive on-the-job training program on the part of the Comptroller in order that integration of the several office budget presentations into the Agency budget submittal can be accomplished with a minimum amount of loss of time, extensive revision, etc. Similarly, the problems of Procurement not only in support of covert operations but also for non-covert activities may present similar problems which JW I L/ 7& IN CLASS! i`^F =r P ?r.~,
