REPORT ON THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A LONG TERM PROGRAM IN LATIN AMERICA

FEASIBILITY STUDY INDICATES THAT BOTH COLOMBIA AND COSTA RICA HAVE WEALTH OR RESOURCES FOR A PROGRAM OF THE NATURE OF AN INSTITUTE. THERE IS A NEED AND INTEREST IN SUCH A PROGRAM EXPRESSED BY OEF GRADUATES. IN ADDITION THE EXPRESSED NEED OF OF OEF GRADUATES AND OTHERS IN THE FIELD FOR FURTHER PROGRESSIVE TRAINING HAS RAISED THE NECESSITY FOR A RESTRUCTURING OF OEF PROGRAMS. JUNE 14, 1972 OEF BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTED TO POSTPONE THE IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF LA BASED LONG TERM TMGS UNTIL AFTER 1973 TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PLANNING TIME.
