3. During the first Creek of January, 1952, TRC was providing
training for :
16 uncleared OSO/OPC students.
20 OSO/OPC students who are cleared. Of this number 11 are
in an interim status. This figure would be higher if TRC had
space available.
4. The present curriculum for the Reception and Interim Train-
ing program has consisted of providing the student with a directed
study assignment which is consistent with the requirements of his
desk or his future assignment with the Agency. In conjunction with
this program TRC has undertaken the preparation of working biblio-
graphies, in some cases utilizing student personnel on this project.
5. Contingent upon the provision of adequate space facilities
and competent instructor personnel, it is planned that the curricula
for both reception and interim training will include a continuation
of directed individual study, augmented by a series of lectures,
movies, and group discussions on such topics as are not included in
the formal courses. This list of topics will include "Understanding
of Foreign Peoples," "History of American Intelligence," "The
Formulation of American Foreign Policy," "The Intelligence Process,"
and a one-week instructor training program.
