Bethesda MD 20894

FROM: Chief, HMD
SUBJECT: RMP Conference

TO: Director, NIM

Although I know you are hesitant to develop too specific a schedule
for the RMP Conference until we have completed at least some of the
interviews, I thought that I would put together a suggested broad
outline of the session topics before our meeting on June 18.

The first three session topics are based on what you have indicated
are the basic three questions that you would like us to address in
our efforts. You have also indicated that you hope that we can
learn some lessons from our review of the history of the RMP, and
I have made this the basis of the last session.

Proposed Conference Agenda

Morning
Session I Why Was the RMP Established?

Coffee Break

Session II What Did the RMP Accomplish?
Lunch

Afternoon

Session III Why Was the RMP Terminated?

Coffee Break

Session IV What Can We Learn From the RPM
Experience?

As I understand it, you would prefer that we address these issues
via panels of speakers and videos rather than formal papers. We
can fill in the details later if you approve of the general outline
of topics for the sessions.
