1. The comments, observations, and suggestions that
has thus far submitted certainly merit consideration
and discussion. I agree with you that after
Tom's visit to OTR is completed we should have such a discussion.
I feel that at this point there is no merit in engaging Tom in a series

experience in the various disciplines of training, and he has had
no experience at all in the more-than-ten-year process of develop-
ing the substance of the JOT and CT programs -- a process carried
out largely by experienced intelligence officers who were also pro-
fessional teachers, a process that has always involved continuous
