EVALUATES THE PERFORMANCE OF LOUIS BERGER INC AND SYSTEMS ASSOCIATES INC CONTRACTED IN A JOINT EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE REGIONAL AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING CAPABILITY OF THE ROYAL THAI GOVT FOR THE PERIOD 9/68 TO 5/31/69. EVALUATION IS BASED ON DAILY MONITORING AND WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND VERBAL COMMUNICATION. BECAUSE OF THE STAGGERED ARRIVAL OF THE CONTRACT TEAM, THEIR OPERATION ON A TEAM BASIS HAS BEEN SLOW IN TAKING HOLD. THE INDIVIDUAL TECHNICIANS, HOWEVER, HAVE DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS, AND HAVE FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING BOTTLENECKS TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. OVERALL PERFORMANCE IS RATED SATISFACTORY. MEMBERS OF THE CONTRACT TEAM ARE DEEMED STRONG IN AGRICULTURE, MANPOWER, TRANSPORTATION, AND OVERALL PLANNING. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT DEMONSTRATED EXPERTISE IN MACRO-ECONOMIC BUILDING, NATIONAL ECONOMIC ACCOUNTING, AND SOPHISTICATED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS. WORK HAS BEGUN ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A WORK PROGRAM FOR THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD (NEDB) FOR THE DRAFTING OF THE THIRD FIVE-YEAR PLAN. WORKING RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH ROYAL THAI GOVT (RTG) OFFICIALS, PLACING THE CONTRACTOR IN A POSITION OF TRUST IN ALL SECTOR
