7. Critiques of Clerical Orientation Training. The Clerical
Orientation class of the past week was a particularly outstanding
group. The nature of their comments, questions, and general response
to the program was superior to those of several previous classes.
With the future re-organization of the COT program in mind, the staff
decided to ask for a written critique from each student concerning
the entire week=s program. The comments can be summarized as being
complimentary to the entire program. Specific suggestions for im-
provement included lengthening the discussion on Office Protocol,
allowing for more student participation as is done in telephone
techniques, correspondence, and typing shortcuts, and including more
visual aid material to get ideas across. Comments concerning the
Security Briefing and the Communism portion were very favorable al-
though it was felt by several that the Communism portion could be
shortened somewhat (particularly the theory presentation) or made more
interesting by illustrative materials. The movie "Nightmare in Red"
was very well received. It was the general opinion that the
Organization of CIA was more readily understood as it was presented in
COT (where notes can be taken) as opposed to the CIA Introduction.
