1. During the week, reviewed all 166
applications on hand for nguage awards, and final determi-
nation has now been made on 114 of them. Further research
continues on the 52 cases remaining. There were 84 awarda-
ble, and the cumulative total of authorized awards is now
$136,000. Cumulative testing thro h Tuesday numbered 2318;
we have received 2026. I am hope Oat the backlog can shift
to us and then to Budget so that much less time can be spent
on apologizing for delays to individual inquirers. I do not
consider the approximate 100 tests given in 1959 as b

about Clearance on DD/P''s February candi-
date for the Armed Forces Staff College. I talked with Tom
and gave him a full time schedule on events leading up to
approval by DCI and subsequent steps in requesting clearance
by the FI S according to our log on the case. I am cer-
tain that aClearance will not be available before the
early programmed eight hours of AFSC instruction for which
it is required. This situation has recurred in the past,
and the logical solution is for the Executive Secretary of
the Career Council to schedule the February program separate
from others (apparently frowned on by the Council) in time
to assure DCI approval by mid-September. If not, we should
forget about requesting clearance and recognize that the suc-
cessful, but uncleared, candidate(s) will miss some lectures.
6. The main business in the Processing Branch during the
past two weeks has been arranging for external training.
Approximately 140 external training requests were approved
for training at most of the local universities and_

7. The State Department has indicated that the African . '`
and Beirut Seminars will be scheduled for this spring and
summer. Because of the current "freeze" on Agency employees
travelling through these areas, we are doubtful whether the
Agency should attempt to participate in either of these pro-
grams. An early decision on this would be most helpful.
8. has been editing Mr. Ornstein's
article yore gn anguage Training in the Soviet Union", pub-
lished in The Modern Language Journal, December 1958, for its
use in the March-April Bulletin. Her first draft is being
typed. She has also been working on revision of the Clerical
Training section in the OTR Catalog. These are excellent
opportunities consistent with her detail to the Staff.
9. During the week 21 January - 27 January 1959, there were
9114 persons enrolled in OTR conducted training. The breakdown
