have raised the subject let me guess that in all likelihood
when all is said and done we will probably emerge into FY-90
with a number of dollars to spend that is almost the same as
or just slightly above what we had in FY-89. The House and
the Senate have different views on how our budget ought to
be changed as they go through these benalitmate stages but
that would be my projection as to the likely outcome on the
dollar side. On the personnel side I would guess that we
will probably not receive any significant number of new
positions. If we do it will be a relative handfull
dedicated exclusively to narcotics or arms control. Those
are the things that are on the mind of the Congress.

of a relative plateau as opposed to the significant growth
that we have enjoyed over the last 10 years. But I would
guess that Gramm-Ruddman will go by the board.

they use it on a daily basis in a job the way that the DO
officers do overseas.

Answer: I assume that you all heard the question a couple of subset issues
on the language subject. My understanding is pretty much like yours
that the focus of discussion on how the guidelines should be changed
is likely to put less a premium on maintenance or the acquisition of
more limited skill-levels and instead is likely to put a premium on
increasing your skill level over time reaching obviously the higher
,levels. I.have no problem with that in the abstract, although I have
not personally seen the formulation andtlTberties that we would have to
interpret it. The other half of your question is a very good one and draws
or parallels a contrast between our siutation and that of the DO.. The two
situations are different. In the DO,.the.premium is put on speaking the
language for your next assignment overseas. My feeling is that we need
to be able to speak the language for a whole variety of reasons some of
which I mentioned and are richer for it, but we also need to be sure that
we have. the liberty and the authority to reward people if we want for acquiring
the reading.- knowledge of a language which in.many cases is how we really
use it as you mentioned.day-by-day in doing our job. All of this is not yet

settled. ?t1 being worked on and my own interest is in being sure
that whatever comes out is flexible enough that it applies to our
situation/as well as to the larger numbers involved in the DO.
The lights make it a little difficult for me to see all of you. If
there are questions, I am happy to take them. If there are not, let me
say that this has been a rare opportunity for me. I certainly enjoy
giving you a roundup of what we have been doing, important and unimportant
and my proposal would be to do this periodically. The implicit message
of course is that I and and other managers -1"k the
Directorate are interested in making these changes to accomplish
the goals that I laid out, and if you have suggestions either about
those goals or how to get there better and quicker, by all means
let us know. Thank you very much.
