1. On Thursday, 5 July 1956, the CIA Introduction Program was con-
ducted for 51 persons.
Audience evaluation: Very low. Far beneath the level of previous
groups.
Attached is a detailed breakdown of those in attendance.
2. Discussed with the AD/ONE, Mr. Sherman Kent, the content of the

months before getting on a Dependents' Briefing Program.
6. Mr. Deputy Director of Security, called to request
that C/OB/IS do a VIP briefing for the new Chief of Security of
the Department of State (Mr. Edward Bailey). This has been

Mr. Bailey's probable meeting with the DCI.
