Political Leadership Development Program
1, I regret that I was called away and was unable to meet
requested on your revised program.
2. As revised, it presents no problem for the Office of the
Deputy Director (Administration), except in connection with the
possible future staff section mentioned in paragraph 9. 1 wish
to say, however, that I think this revised program is far prefer-
able to the initial submission, and, speaking not particularly as
Acting DD/A or General Counsel, but from general personal associa-
tion with this problem over a long period of time, I believe this
is the only approach which makes real sense. Consequently, if it
progresses to the point where a staff element, is needed for proper
continuance of the project, the need for suchia staff should be
almost self evident at that time, and I foresee no particular
difficulty.
3. Again, speaking personally and somew t out of mV proper
jurisdiction, I believe there should be a centralized point for
followup on the responsibilities for this program assigned in
paragraph 6, I assure these will be taken. care of under the pro-
vision of paragraph 8 on staff responsibilities,
