1. The Communism in China reading-seminar was started by SIC
in the FE Division conference room, Wednesday the 18th. Although it
had been originally intended that this group would be limited to six
or eight individuals,fourteen were present and five others who were not
present are expected to attend most of the sessions. FE was well
represented by six people including thA DAnntv Division Chief, the
Executive Officer. the Chief of the hand his Deputy,
Chief of the and the Chief of FE/Fl Staff.
Besides this, SR, NEA and WH Divisions were represented by top
operational personnel. Others included the Deputy Chief of Communi-
cations, the SPA/DDS and a representative of the Senior Research Staff
Commur4sm. and I also attended. Except for Mr.
who had planned to attend but was tied up on a tutorial
matter, I believe the others who failed to show were prevented from
doing so because of the change of the DDP staff meeting from Thursday
to Wednesday. stated that he had "Done his home
work" and was sorry to have been unable to get there. did
an excellent job and I think every one in attendance felt that it was
much worthwhile.
2. The Communism Phase of the IOC opened as scheduled with
37 registrants. has participated despite the fact that
he has been not only working in the SR program but also moving to a
new house. took on a new lecture in this course, "Open
Party Structure." has participated briefly but has been out
for several days with a bad back which is apparently a periodic
problem.

he feels that it is very fortunate he took the operational training course
in Training because otherwise he would be completely lost keeping up
with this present training. I am informed also by SR Division that

seems extremely eager, they are really concerned for fear he will not
be able to "keep up." I do not believe they have come to a final
decision as of this time.

2. The External Training Manual is coming along quite satis-
factorily with 58 subjects or titles presenilv in first draft form and
10 of these in an edited second draft from. has gone over (b)(3)
the material and appears to feel that it is just what they desire. He,
on the other hand, intends to rewrite and edit this material before
transmitting it to the field in order that it will all be in a single
format and style. SIC appears to be losing two of the four girls
who have helped on this project as one has report to
Building 13 tomorrow, Friday the 20th, and who is on loan (b)(3)
from the A&E Staff has apparently made arrangemen s or transfer to
DDP within the next few days. A request will be made to Training
Personnel to get two additional girls from the pool if and when they
are available for approximately 30 more days.
3. SICIs project to clean up its vault room is also
progressing satisfactorily. A large mass of material has been reviewed
and either destroyed or put in appropriate file area. Furthermore old
material on Communism in safes in the R&S Building have been screened (b)(1)
that which is useful removed and the rest scheduled for destruction. (b)(3)
4. Tutorial of the is progressing and will be completed
by March 31st. No interpreter has been found to assist, however, and (b)(1)
the arrangements are therefore somewhat less than satisfactory. (b)(3)
5. At the present time eduled for tutorial in the
future only one-half day on a project and one day on a Tibetan
project. I have been informs ora y at FE Division is preparing a
request for the services of during the 30 days of June to
train two Tibetan agents in PP activities. This would take place in (b)(3)
Colorado. Temporarily I have demurred with respect to this responsibility.
When, and if, the official request is received I will discuss it further
and get a more up-to-date survey from the covert training shop of
responsibilities for then.
