AT?' INTIO
west for Use of Russian Language Tapes
L Several staff members of We Division have been pursuing
the study of the pussisa language on an informal basis. Their effort.
have been confined to unsupervised study of m srtoue textbooks
d aids which have been purchased from personal fads.
The personnel concerned realise, of course, that participation in
of the voluntary language courses conducted by the Agency would be
the most expeditious method of obtaining this training: however,
interested personnel. by the nature of their assignment, must wor
irregular hours which precludes participation in a formal, se hedul
course of study.
2. It is understood that your department has various magnetic
at are used as training aid for language instruction.
ied, we would like to suggest that your tapes con-
e recordings (of beginner or first year typo) be
to for reproduction for subs
rso n el. The use of such tapers would certaini
:nee and act as a stimulus to their interest.
3. U this suggestion is feasible, this vietou will supply
clean electronic tapes for use, in reproduction and also volunteer
personnel to aid you in the reproduction process if you so desire. It
should be understood that we are making the above recommendation
because it seems the best solution to a specific problem of our person-
eel at this time and we are not suggesting that this procedure is in
way as .e valeat substitute for the formal training program that your
section, offers. We shall continue to urge all interested personnel of
this Division to take advantage of your program.
