m. The Information Resources Management Division, Office of
Information Services (IRMD/OIS), is making final arrangements for the
scheduling and declassification of the remaining 62 cubic feet of the Office
of Strategic Services (OSS) motion picture films in preparation for transfer
to the National Archives and Records Administration (MARA). This action is
being taken in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the
DDA and the Archivist of the United States. With the transfer to NARA, a more
expeditious release to the public can be made. The films will be reviewed for
classification by DO personnel and will be appraised by a NARA officer during
the next two weeks in preparation for this transfer. There continues to be a
great deal of interest in the OSS films.
p. On 1 April, representatives from the Office of Training and
Education (OTE) briefed the Career Management Staff/DO on a proposed
Secretarial Training Package. The DO sees a critical need for the training of
its secretaries and support assistants, not only at Headquarters but
especially in the field. The Administrative Systems Branch/OTE has been
requested to design a training package, and OTE expects to be able to conduct
this training in the field by October.
q. The first running of the Agency's Seminar on World-Wide Science
and Technology Forecasting was successfully completed on 29 March. The
24 seminar members were about equally divided between CIA and the rest of the
Intelligence Community. One-third of the members were supervisors. There was
a total of 49 speakers for the two-week seminar: 14 leading scientists from
the Government and industry, 11 experts from the Intelligence Community, and
the rest from the Agency. The seminar included a four-day briefing and
workshop session on forecasting methods under the direction of a private
contractor. All found the seminar worthwhile and strongly concluded that it
should be repeated at least yearly, if not bi-yearly.
