3. Representatives of the JOT Program and the Military
Personnel Division/Office of Personnel continue to make periodic
visits to Lackland Air Force Base to discuss the progress of the
JOT's in the OCS Program and to confer with these men. This is a
strong factor in developing morale in the group.
4. The change in the JOT Training Program, whereby the JOT's
enter on duty in anticipation of one class each year, has proved to
be a valuable innovation. Morale was heightened at the outset by
a meeting at which the JOTts heard the Director of Central Intelli-
gence, the Inspector General, the Director of Training, the Deputy
Director/Support, and Chief/JOTP. In addition to this meeting, the
wives of JOT's were briefed on the place of their husbands in the
Agency and the Program.
At the beginning of the Integrated Program on 7 October,
sixty JOT's assembled for the first four months of basic training
at Headquarters. Each segment of this Course was extremely well
received. At the completion of the four months of basic training,
selections for specialized training for the Clandestine Services
and for Headquarters training in Research were made.
Forty-eight JOT's entered specialized training for Clandestine
Services, and nine entered specialized training in Research. Two
of the returned OCS JOT's who completed the basic training were
registered for OFC, and one resignation occurred during the basic
training. To date, all reports indicate that the specialized
training courses are stimulating among the JOT~s and no ~ and valuable. Morale continues
problems have been encountered. The
training officers of the JOT Pro ram continue the practice of
visiting the trainees each three weeks.
5. Nine University Consultants were thoroughly briefed at
Headquarters . They left with a better understand-
ing of the Program and apparently were stimulated by what they
observed.
6. Tentative requirements from the offices of the Clandestine
Services for JOT's who will complete the Operations Course in
August are greater than the number of JOT's who will be available
for assignment at that time. JOTP is requesting each of the Divi-
sions to place priority requirements for such assignment so that
an equitable distribution of JOT's may be made.
7. The U. S. Marine Corps proposal for an OCS Program for
JOT candidates received final approval in December. All OCS candi-
dates since that date have been briefed on this program. Final
determination of the branch of service, Air Force or Marines, in
which the JOT may enlist will be made at the time he comes in for
his Pre-employment Polygraph.
8. Cover for JOT's on extended assignment for
training has proved to be practical and reasonable. No one has

encountered any difficulty. As a result of this cover personal
security and security of the base have been strengthened.
9. The one JOT covertly recruited has done excellent work
in his language training; in fact, so good was his progress that
he moved from his own class to an advanced class during February.
Plans have been made for his overseas assignment on completion of
his language training in June. At that time he will be transferred
from the T/O of OTR to the T/O of the Division which sponsors his
overseas tour.
10. Twenty-three JOT'a have received Language Awards totalling
$3050.
