J. A monograph on the broad administrative problems of QTR,
its physical facilities, the development of the search25X1A2d2
for secure external training sites, and similar topics, to be drawn
up with the help of recently retired), who is 25X1A9a
willing to do this without cost.
k. The role of Evaluation and Assessment in training is con-
sidered worthy of a separate monograph. We understand that this
paper is being done by the A&E Staff as part of the history of the
Office of Medical Services.
2. At this time no limitation has been placed upon the length of the T
papers, but each will be developed in accordance with the official Style I
Book and within the limitations of significant balanced history. It now
seems probable that much of the writing and research will be done during
the summer of 1967: no times have as yet been fixed.
