A draft of a detailed course outline has been prepared and
was coordinated with the Acting Director of Logistics an Thursday, 20
May. Coordination with the R & D side of the house will be effected
next week through a panel consisting of representatives from Office of the
Deputy Director for Science and Technology, ORD, TSD, OC, NPIC, OL/PD,
and OL/SS.
Following that meeting, the outline will be put in final form for
distribution to contractors at the pre-proposal conference scheduled for
2 June.
5. .Automated Communications Terminal (ACT-1)
~~ From. investigations made throughout the week, it has been
t`
concluded tentatively that OTR need not design a special course an the
use of the Selectric typewriter nor a special instructional manual in order
to prepare personnel far using the ACT-1 system. The Cable Secretariat
is working on the latter problem and IBM publications appear eminently
suitable for self-teaching of Selectric techniques.
A rnernarandurn to this effect to the Director of Communications
is being prepared for the signature of the Director of 'T'raining.

Two of the five employees of the Training Branch/Office
of Personnel who :have been taking a specially devised, on-the-job
training course in typing improvements have been recommended for
qualification testing in June.
This particular exercise was tailored. to meet the require-
ments of each participant as indicated by the res~ulta of a pre-test.
Weekly correspondence exercises were buttressed by personal, bi-weekly
consultations in the students' offices.
7. IBM. Publications f7btained
The latest IBM manuals on the Magnetic Tape Selectric
Typewriter (MIST) and Selectric typewriters have been obtained from
IBM and reviewed. They appear to be highly suitable for training on
these machines.

B. MANAGEMENT TRAINING
1. MEDG
a. The 2$th Midcareer class returned on 13 May from a
highly successful field trip to SAC Headquarters, Offutt AFB, Nebraska;
Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyoming; and NASA, Gape Kennedy, Florida.
The reception at the 90th Strategic Missile Wing at Warren AFB was
particularly cordial. At a special luncheon given for our group, the
haste outn~urnbered the guests. Brigadier General Harold 5track, the
Wing Commander, and his entire staff attended the luncheon. The only
cloud to mar an otherwise excellent trip was some engine trouble which
delayed our departure froze Patrick AFB at Gape Kennedy by two hours
an Thursday night. .Apparently the aircraft, a G-130, had been provided
by the Air Force
b. The final "outside" speaker in the 28th Midcareer Course
was Robert Froehlke, Assistant Secretary of Defense far Administration.
He was introduced to the Midcareerists by Bronson Tweedy. Mr. Froehlke
addressed himself chiefly to current developments and problems in the
management of intelligence in the Department of .Defense. His formal
presentation evoked a lively half hour question and answer period. Mr.
Froehlke commented later that he was impressed with the group and that
he had enjoyed the session.
c. General Cushman, substituting for Mr. Helms, made the
closing remarks to the 28th Midcareer Ca~urse. Speaking to the group
immediately after Mr. Froehlke, General Cushman spent about 15 minutes
discussing the allocation of Agency resources and his role as the chairman
of the National Intelligence Resources Board. He finished by congratulating
the group- an their successful completion of the course and suggesting

3. Advanced Management (Plannin~~
The DDS&T response to our query re probable enrollments
in AMP in FY 72 was "one or two per course". We have not yet heard

accommodate all who wish to attend.
