SUBJECT: Items of Interest for the Period
18 July 1956 to 23 July 1956
DATE: 23 July 1956
1. C/OB/IS was advised by the Marine Corps liaison office in Pentagon
that the Commanding Officer has decided that the presentation by
C/OB/IS at Cherry Point, North Carolina, on 25 July will be limited
to approximately 70 persons, all of high rank.
2.25X1 At the request of Mr. Editor of OTR Bulletin,
C/OB/IS prepared an article for the Bulletin. This article, a copy
25X1 of which was sent to Mr. or showing to the DDCI, was
entitled "INTELLIGENCE has a STORY, " The punch of the article
is an effort to indicate how some of our programs might win friends
for the Agency and influence people in such a way as to make them
favorably inclined toward intelligence.
3. A fortunate switch took place throughout the week. Mr. William

not be feasible at this time to re-arrange the schedule of the Junior
Foreign Service Officers so that they might be here on 27 July 1956

Introduction Program for that day, 27 July 1956. In fact, we expect
a capacity house because of the tremendous influx of new personnel

will run into the usual difficulty encountered at this time of the
year in trying to get the best person to cover each subject,
since so many are on vacation.
7. Arrangements have been made for the Deputy Director/Support,
Col. White, to make the introductory remarks at the Departmental
Briefing.
8. Spent considerable time with persons from the Visual Aid Section
in developing a new visual aid for use in many of the programs we
conduct. After installation, a special credit line will be given on
this item.
9. C/OB/IS appreciates the cooperation of Mr.
OTR Security Officer, and the support of the C/IS in assigning
25X1 to assist in the conduct of some of our
programs.
