FROM : Chief, Clerical Training
SUBJECT: Week of 11 - 17 September 1956
1. Numbers in Clerical Induction Training. During the week
of 11 September there were 60 people in Clerical Induction Training.
2. Numbers in Clerical Orientation Training. In Clerical
Orientation there were 0 people for the week of 11 September.
3. Results from Official Agency Testing Administered
by-
Clerical Induction. The results of the tests administered to the
Entrance-on-Doty employees for the week of 11 September were:
Tested Qualified
Shorthand 11 3
1,rpewriting 22 13
4. Delayed P istration for Professional Typewriting Glass.
When the Non-clerical Typewriting Class was given in the past? it
was possible to distribute announcements to all personnel. As a
consequence, the quota was always oversubscribed well in advance
of the registration closing date. This year, the information was
relayed at training officers' meetings and in the September issue
of the OTR BULLETIN. The meeting announcement apparently had
limited value and the timing of the issuance of the Bulletin was
almost too late to be of value. At the writing of this weekly
report, the Registrar reports that there are only four persons
who have registered for this course. It is hoped that when the
next "early morning class" is offered., individual announcements
may be again prepared and distributed.
5. Chief, Clerical Training on Leave. Mrs. 25X1
September through 28 September 1956.
6. Orientation Course Change. During the past three and a
half years, the Clerical Orientation course has been conducted on
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week. Mr. 0 has 25X1
been participating in this program almost from its inception;
first, with a lecture on Intelligence and later with an additional
lecture on the subject of Communism. Each of the lectures developed
into one and a quarter hours.

Beginning this week, the course is changing its weekly time
to Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Mr. is now in 25X1
charge of the Orientation and Briefing program for all new Agency
employees; the time of this program has been changed from Thursday
to Monday of each week. As a result., the subject of Intelligence
is covered in Mr. presentation which he gives on Monday 25X1
This scheduling has allowed an expansion of some other aspects
of the Clerical Orientation course, especially Communism. We will
now have three and a half hours on Wednesday afternoon devoted to
various phases of this subject. These lectures will be given by
members of the staff of the School of International Communism.
