SUBJECT Course Report for Administration Directorate
Review: Trends and Highlights #57 (5-76),
1 - 4 June 1976
The four-day Administration Directorate Review: Trends
and Highlights concluded on Friday, 4 June 1976. Held at
this was the fifth running of
the course in FY 76 and the 57th overall. The content of the
course was quite similar to previous runnings with each of
the major components in the Administration Directorate being
represented.
a. Student Participation: Although all the sessions
had students asking questions, the session with the highest
level of activity was with Mr. Robert Gambino, the Director
of Security, on Wednesday evening, 2 June. The session with
the lowest level of participation was on the final afternoon
with the Executive Officer for the
Administration Directorate. This was probably for two reasons--
first, all the offices had been covered in depth, all questions
answered thoroughly; and secondly, started off
by saying; he wouldn't be surprised 1 t ere were no questions,
the day being beautiful, and the class anxious to depart
immediately at the conclusion of his presentation.
b. Student Concerns: There were no particular concerns.
In fact I heard participants say over and over again what a
good course it was and what a marvelous opportunity to get
away and hear from the key people in the Administration
Directorate.
c. Course Objectives: The class members were provided
with a course evaluation which included a numerical scale to
determine if the course objective had been met. On a scale

of 1 to 7 (7 being the highest) the average for the class
was 5.9; the median, 6.
d. Observations: Once again the class was asked to
evaluate the session on the AD/MAG. In contrast to previous
sessions in which it got lukewarm marks, this one received
glowing comments. Although the covera e was essentially the
same, I believe it was the speaker, in place of
who was the cause of the praise. Regrettably
rotating off the MAG and will not be available
for future runnings of Trends.
e. Result of Changes: In the course report covering
Trends #4_76, the coordinator recommended opening up the
next running with either the DDA or A/DDA. Mr. Blake
accepted our invitation and addressed the class on the
first day, 1 June. Although his presentation was very
informative, it stimulated few questions. As a result
Mr. Blake may have wondered whether it was really worth his
time to come. However, it is possible that the lack of
questions was because it was the first day and because the
class was somewhat awed by the presence of the man and the
position he holds.
f. Problems: Although there were four speaker changes--
eputy for Plans and Controls, OP, vice
STATINTL
Fred Janney, Director of Personnel;
STATINTL AD/MAG;
STATINTL Security-Division, OS; and vice
STATINTL -there really were no problems.
As a matter of fact uneventful is the term to describe this
running--.unless you consider the complaint some people made
about the croaking of the bull frogs keeping them awake at
night!
g. Contemplated Changes: None at the moment.
h. Data: Class enrollment was 50; all offices of the
Administration Directorate were represented, plus one from
the DDI and four from the DDS&T. The grades ranged from
GS-05 to GS-14; in age from 20 to 60; length of Agency
service from two months to 27 years.
