INSTRUCTIONS FOR THOSE ATTENDING
THE CIA ORIENTATION COURSE
Registration
Each person will be asked to complete an initial registration slip on the first morning,
and a final registration slip on the last morning of the course. These slips, properly filled out,
constitute the official record of attendance at the course. No credit or atten acnce will be
given any person failing to turn in both registration slips. An initial registration slip will be
found on each seat in the Auditorium. Please complete it and place it on the table in the rear
of the Auditorium as you leave the Course on Tuesday morning.
Question and Answer Periods
A question and answer period will be held at the end of most of the presentations. For
your individual and collective benefit all are strongly urged to participate in these sessions.
Since such periods will not give sufficient time to answer all questions you will also find pro-
vided on each seat a supply of Question Cards on which you may write your questions. As they
are written they should be passed to the side aisles of the Auditorium, where they will be
picked up. Every consideration will be given to answering at a later date those questions not
answered during the. Orientation Course itself.
Intelligence Bibliography
In this program is included a list of books entitled "Biblography of Appropriate Read-
ing for Those in the Field of Intelligence." This list is far from exhaustive, and is to be con-
sidered suggestive of the type material which should be read to expand one's knowledge of the
scope and depth of intelligence.
Digests of
Book,
25X1A9a Available in the Auditorium for each one attending the course will be the digests of the
book, These digests are unclassified and are your
personal copies. You will greatly benefit if you read one of these booklets each evening during
this course as "homework." The suggested order in which they should be read is indicated
by the stars on the front cover, i.e., "The Content of Intelligence," one star, should be read
first.

Transportation to and from Auditorium
No arrangements can be made for those attending the course to park in the vicinity of
the South Agriculture Building. Special Capital Transit chartered busses, therefore, will
leave at 0830 hours on the mornings of the course from:
A. The "loop" at the north end of "M" Building to take those persons, whose
offices are located in North, Central, South, Administration,- "Q", "M", and adjacent buildings,
to the Auditorium;
B. Gate 9 in rear of "K" Building to take persons whose offices are located in
"L", "K", and adjacent buildings to the Auditorium.
The busses will make a return trip to these two points at noon time. Employees
attending the course whose offices are located in other buildings will use the regular shuttle
service.
Security
This training course, as a whole., is classified SECRET. You are cautioned to watch
your conversation coming to and from the Auditorium. Since passes are not shown upon enter-
ing the chartered Capital Transit busses, any one may be riding with you and overhearing your
remarks. You are also cautioned not to throw any classified papers on the floor of the Audi-
torium. These should be taken back to your offices and placed in secret trash. Any notes
taken during the course should be classified appropriately and guarded with due care.
Promptness
The schedule for each day permits no leeway in time. Accordingly, to maintain the
pace commensurate with this demand, please plan to be in your seats each morning at 0855.
Coffee and soft drinks are not available in the vicinity of the Auditorium. Because of this and
the tightness of the schedule, it is requested that all return to their seats prior to the end of
the break periods.
