THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
September 18, 1967
This is a day when you should all be proud -- especially
those among you who have been a part of the Agency
since its founding.
Twenty years ago, this country had no broad-scale pro-
fessional intelligence service worthy of the name. To-
day, it has a strong and vital one -- the best in the
world.
Twenty years ago, you began with a vague assortment
of functions and a varied assortment of people. Your
purposes were not well understood inside the Government,
and barely understood at all outside. Since that time,
you have become a dedicated and disciplined core of
professionals, with clearly defined responsibilities.
Those responsibilities are vast and demanding. You give
us information on which decisions affecting the course of
history are made. Your product must be as perfect as is
humanly possible -- though the material you must work
with is far from perfect.
You must keep pace with developments in a tremendously
complex society, a society which, as your director, Mr.
Helms, has said, "gropes for answers to challenges its
founding fathers could never have conceived."
You have built a solid foundation in these past twenty
years. America relies on your constant dedication to
the truth -- on your commitment to our democratic
ideal. I believe our trust is well placed.
This message from the President was read by Mr. Richard
Helms, Director of Central Intelligence, at the 18 Sep-
tember 1967 Annual Awards Ceremony which commemorated
the twentieth anniversary of the Central Intelligence
Agency. Vice President Humphrey, who attended the ceremony
personally, also honored the Agency with warm words of
congratulations; excerpts from his informal remarks appear
on the next two pages.

EDITED EXCERPTS OF-ADDRESS BY VICE PRESIDENT HUMPHREY
ON 18 SEPTEMBER 1967
First, let me say that I am very pleased that we are commem-
orating the 20th Anniversary of the Central Intelligence Agency.
I'm particularly honored today to be included in your program.
This Agency is a basic part of the defense and security structure of
the Nation. It is as vital to the well-being of the American people
and to the common defense of the Republic as the Department of
Defense or the Department of State or indeed the combined forces
of the Nation. Of all the agencies of Government that have developed
professional competence, I know of none which has done a better
job than the Central Intelligence Agency. I say that as one who has
for several years, both in the United States Senate and now as Vice
President, called upon your resource people, your experts, and
your research facilities for information and guidance. When you
consider that we've had a Central Intelligence Agency for just one
generation, for twenty years, it's nothing short of remarkable that
we have developed in this Nation the professional competence
exemplified by the men and women in this auditorium today and
by the Director and his top echelon staff. I salute you for it.
You cannot expect in a free society to be immune from crit-
icism. But remember that if you weren't being criticized you
wouldn't be doing anything. The only people who are not criticized
are those who are either so silent that they are competing with
death itself or those who are doing nothing. But what you're doing
is of vital importance. I underscore it: vital importance. I want
you to know that we in Government do appreciate this and, what
is more, the American people appreciate it. The American
people feel better because there is a CIA. The American people
know we need the Central Intelligence Agency. Some of our critics
may not be so sure but, as Theodore Roosevelt once said, "You
can test the common sense and the good judgment of the majority
of the American people over and beyond that of any selected
self-appointed minority. "
I haven't any particularly prepared remarks for you except to
express my appreciation and the appreciation of your President
for your service beyond the call of duty. We have gained a much
broader knowledge of the world because of you in this great Agency
and I believe that the world is a better place for the people of this
earth because there has been, is, and will continue to be a Central
Intelligence Agency.
We have as prime objectives to make a world of law and order
and a world in which there is social justice. I sometimes think

Americans forget what their objectives are as individuals, as a
people and as a Nation, in the hubbub of everyday life. We ought
never to forget such lofty ideals and high objectives. To forget them
is to lose the meaning of our daily work. We have stated them many,
many times. Despite the fact that our country has been called upon
to stand guard at many a rampart, and even now finds its men in
battle, I am one of those people -- and I am sure you are -- who can
proudly and honestly say that this Nation has done at least as much
for the cause of peace, social justice and freedom in this world as
any other Nation throughout the history of civilization. I don't think
we ought to walk away from that high honor and that worthy objective
just because some people are momentarily critics.
I hope that each of you will continue to do your good work as
you have, try to improve the quality of your activities, your
research, your findings, your purpose and your professional life.
We all know that we can do better. I know I can and I am sure you
feel you can. The story of America is the story of individuals and
generations saying they can do better than the day before or the week
before. It's the story of a Nation that said it could do the impossible.
Many people think that what we're trying to do now is impossible:
to maintain our commitments abroad and to try to build the foundation
of a better America and a great society at home. I don't think it's
impossible at all. Sometimes I weary a bit of those who have such
little faith and those who are so fearful. We can do what we need to
do; if we can't do it, who do you think can? If we are unable to keep
our commitments, who then will keep any commitments? If we are
unable to maintain strong national security, who do you think then
can afford to? If we, with a gross national product of almost 40%
of the entire production of the world -- and that's what we had last
year, 40% of the total GNP of the world, with less than 6% of the
population -- if we can't afford to do what needs to be done, who do
you think can afford it? So I say, we can do what we need to do.
I think that we will overcome our problems by our resourcefulness,
by our resources, by our knowledge, by our intelligence put to work,
by working with others, and by doing what we know has to be done.
And that's the story of the CIA. You've done what had to be
done because you knew it had to be done. You've had some failures.
Who hasn't? The story of success is not a continuing dialogue or
a serial of daily successes. It has some setbacks but what's impor-
tant is the score at the end of the game -- or at least from time to
time as you take a look at it. I think your score is pretty good. Just
don't rest on your laurels. Remember, as old Satchel Paige used
to say, "If you look back you might find out somebody's gaining on
you. " So, look ahead, and you'll be all right!

TRAINING The success of the 25 July Conference of Training
OFFICERS Officers points to the usefulness of this type of
CONFERENCES meeting for assessing problems and clearing up
questions related to training matters. Training
Officers are reminded that, as with this general
meeting for all Agency Training Officers, the
Registrar Staff welcomes the opportunity to arrange
such gatherings for groups of officers with training
responsibilities within a directorate or other major
component to discuss matters of more specific
concern to them. Call the Registrar's office,
extension 2896, to discuss arrangements.
ADP SYSTEMS
DEVELOPMENT
PROCESS
COURSE
A third presentation of the ADP Systems Development
Processing Course prepared for the Agency by
Brandon Applied Systems will be given 14 - 16 November
in the Magazine Building. It is designed especially for
users who seek a better understanding of the process
and tasks of the systems development process,
although it is appropriate also for systems analysts/
designers engaged in developing computer systems
and for managers who need an overall orientation on
the systems development process. A basic under-
standing of what a computer is and what its capabilities
are will be assumed, and OTR's ADP Orientation
Course or its equivalent in experience is a prerequisite.
Nominations for the ADP Systems Development Process
Course are made by Senior Training Officers, using
Form 136, "Request for Training at Non-Agency
Facility. " Enrollment will be limited to forty.
SECURITY The Admissions and Information Branch of the Registrar's
REINDOC- office is arranging attendance at the Agency's third
TRINATION Security Reindoctrination Program directly with
PROGRAM Training Officers. Admission to the program will
be by individual identification cards provided Training
Officers by AIB. These identification cards will also
be used to record attendance. Training Officers must
meet AIB's quotas so as to insure capacity attendance
at every presentation.

NATIONAL The next (34th) session of the National Interdepartmental
INTERDEPART- Seminar on Problems of Development and Internal
MENTAL Defense will be 23 October - 17 November 1967.
SEMINAR This seminar, conducted at the Foreign Service
Institute for senior officials of various agencies of
the Government, introduces the country-team
concept in approaching the problems of modernizing
societies beset by active or potential communist-
inspired insurgency. Attendance at NIS is a pre-
25X1A
which allows persons to attend both seminars without
conflict. Other 1968 NIS dates are:
8 January - 2 February
26 February - 22 March
22 April - 17 May
ADDED Did you ever want to use an English-language film
SOUND for a foreign-language audience, or vice versa?
TRACKS If the film must retain its original sound track,
ON FILMS consider having a magnetic sound stripe added.
This is not as complicated nor as expensive as it
might seem, and one can alter the stripe the same
as is done with a tape produced on an ordinary audio
tape recorder. A magnetic track can also be used
to carry a critique. A film equipped with a magnetic
stripe can be shown with its regular sound track,
and then re-run with the sound coming from the
magnetic track with a previously recorded critique.
The Audio Aids Section of the Instructional Services
Branch in OTR, extension 2034, will be glad to
assist in providing or altering magnetic sound stripes
for films, which then can be used more extensively.

OTR as a Support Organization:
The Registrar Staff, as presently organized, is the result of
fifteen years or more or maturation and refinement based upon
the Office of Training's continuing efforts to serve the Agency
economically and effectively. Changes in Agency training require-
ments, philosophy, and doctrine have influenced the development
of what in essence is a staff with six major functional areas:
Admissions, Information, Records, External Training, Programmed
Assisted Instruction, and the Training Selection Board.
The operational necessity of a registrar within the Office of
Training was apparent in 1951, the first full year that OTR existed.
In fact, a registrar was one of the positions in OTR's original
administrative office. In May 1957 a Registrar Branch was formed
as a separate component in the Support Staff of the Office of Training.
It was organized because of the need to consolidate a variety of
administrative functions related to instructional support, to
create a central repository of information and a point of contact for
obtaining information on training, and to centralize enrollment in
Agency-supported training. The Registration Section and the

Processing Section of the Administration Branch of OTR's Support
Staff formed the nucleus of the new branch. To the existing
responsibilities for maintaining training records, arranging
admission to OTR's courses, and processing external training
requests were added the functions of informing Agency employees
about training available to them, monitoring training within the
Agency conducted by other components of the Agency, ascertaining
training requirements within the Agency and notifying OTR
School Chiefs of these requirements, representing the Director
of Training at Government and non-Government training
conferences and programs, evaluating non-CIA training and
training facilities, reviewing and approving requests for external
training, and preparing reports on many facets of training.
Early in 1958 the Registrar Branch became a Staff in the
Office of Training with the additional tasks of maintaining the OTR
history and initiating and reviewing Agency regulations which
involve training. As a Staff it was divided into four functional
components -- Information, Registration, Processing, and
Standards. In 1960 it was reorganized to consolidate three of the
four functions into two branches -- Admissions and Information
Branch and External Training Branch -- in order to streamline
its activities, accommodate the increase in requirements levied
upon the Staff, and coordinate its work. Since 1960, the Registrar
Staff has acquired further responsibilities, including a counseling
service and developing the Off-Campus Program for CIA. The
Executive Secretariat of the Training Selection Board was incor-
porated into the Registrar Staff in 1966, and in July 1967 the
Registrar was assigned the management of the programmed learning
effort of the Agency.
The Registrar Staff, with its complement of twenty-one, thus
acts for the Office of Training in a manner similar in part to that
in which a registrar serves a university. Although lines of action
often cut across the six functional areas and the two branches of
the Registrar Staff, its activities can be considered in three
catagories. The following pages of this issue will describe the first
category, the Admissions and Information Branch. The other two
categories, the External Training Branch and other functions of
the office of the Registrar, taken collectively, but notably those
which pertain to the Training Selection Board, Programmed Assisted
Instruction, Counseling, and the Off-Campus Program, will be
treated in the October issue of the OTR Bulletin.

ADMISSIONS AND INFORMATION BRANCH
Three of the functional areas for which the office of the
Registrar is responsible, to the degree that they can be compart-
mentalized, fall within the sphere of the Admissions and Information
Branch (AIB). The Branch is charged with specific responsibility
for providing information on training available to Agency personnel;
it has administrative responsibility for enrolling employees in
training provided internally by the Office of Training; it manages
certain of the Agency's records with regard to training, and it
is the exclusive channel for input and retrieval of data in connection
with the computerized Agency Training Record.
The nature and scope of the responsibility for providing information
is reflected in the fact that some ten thousand items of information
concerning training possibilities pass through the Registrar Staff
each year. The magnitude of the admissions activity is apparent
from the fact that more than 7, 000 applications for internal training
were processed in FY 1967. The scale of the records activity is
suggested by the fact that 16, 600 entries were necessary to keep
the Agency Training Record current in FY 1967.
The nine members of the Admissions and Information Branch
who perform the services associated with these activities maintain
close contact with other members of the Registrar Staff, and, in
fact, with the officers and staff of all the components of the Office
of Training. Also, as with most of the Registrar Staff's relations
with the various elements of the Agency, the members of the Branch
work with and through the Training Officers and Training Assistants
located in each of the Offices, Staffs, Divisions, and other major
components. Thus, AIB is a two-way channel through which training

services available both within and outside the Agency are made
known to Agency personnel and through which Agency personnel
are actually enrolled in the Agency's own training facilities. At
the same time AIB performs auxiliary functions of assuring that
provisions for assessing and recording the overall achievement of
the Agency's training effort are fulfilled.
Information on training as it applies to functions within the
Registrar Staff is information on courses or other types of
instructional programs given by the Office of Training or by other
components of the Agency and at facilities outside the Agency.
The character of the information varies, but generally it consists
not only of the what, when, where, and by whom courses or programs
are given, but also of procedures for participation in the training.
It involves evaluations concerning the suitability of courses for
meeting individual or group requirements, the comparability of
alternative courses or programs, and the costs of training.
Information on the Agency's internal training is obtained in
various ways. There are formal announcements of opportunities
ranging from one-hour briefings to forty-week courses. There are
observations on OTR courses by instructors, School Chiefs, and
the Director of Training himself, through reports, memoranda,
briefings, conferences, and even informal personal and telephone
calls. Information on courses and programs offered by Agency
components other than OTR is usually supplied by Training Officers.
As for non-Agency training, the OTR Registrar receives a
variety of announcements and correspondence from numerous
sources. There are brochures from the Civil Service Commission
on training available at other Federal agencies; announcements by
the Department of Defense and related service schools; bulletins and
catalogs from academic institutions and commercial schools; and
the myriad announcements of periodic or unique forms of training
such as may be given at conventions, conferences, institutes and
similar gatherings held by many non-Government -- and even
Government -- facilities.
AIB carries on a large correspondence to maintain its file of
catalogs from some 400 colleges and universities and other material
on training opportunities. The Registrar, on behalf of the Agency,
is a member in the American Management Association, the American
Society for Training and Development, the Adult Education Association,

and The National Society for Programmed Instruction, and receives
the announcements and publications of these organizations. In
addition, the Registrar subscribes to such publications as the
"Journal of the National Education Association, " "The Civil
Service Journal, " "American Education, " "World Convention
Dates, " and the like, and purchases books to support its training
information responsibilities -- books that include "Lovejoy's
College Guide, " "Handbook on International Study: For U. S.
Nationals, " "Handbook on International Study: For Foreign
Nationals, " "American Trade School Directory, " and "Scholarships,
Fellowships, and Loans. "
Correlative to collecting information on training is its dissem-
ination throughout the Agency. Publications prepared by AIB are
the vehicles for redistributing the great bulk of information. The
OTR Bulletin carries information in which there is widespread
interest. It appears eight to ten times a year and is the publication
on which Training Officers can rely in keeping up to date on training
matters. Special Bulletins are issued to draw particular attention
to an instructional program or other activity, to a new procedure,
or to a course made available on short notice. These are distributed
on a selective basis, with a courtesy copy of each being sent to
every Training Officer for informational purposes and additional
copies to components where particular interest in the subject matter
is anticipated and action is expected. Memoranda and releases
of lists such as the monthly series of lectures at the National War
College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces are other
devices used by AIB to publicize information it receives. The
Branch also publishes the OTR Schedule of Courses -- usually a
six-month projection of courses conducted by the Office of Training,
and, at periodic intervals, the OTR Catalog, which describes training
offered not only by the Office of Training and by other Agency com-
ponents but also at selected external facilities.
Many of the announcements received by the Registrar Staff are
in sufficient quantities to permit distribution of copies directly to
the Training Officers serving units that are interested in specific
types of training; other announcements are copied, summarized, or
otherwise refined before being relayed to Training Officers. In
some instances, the substance of announcements is conveyed by
telephone.
Orientations and conferences conducted by the Registrar are an
additional means of transmitting information to Training Officers.
Orientation sessions for all Training Officers wherein OTR officers
outline the functions and services of each School and Staff in the

Office of Training are scheduled as frequently as practical. Corre-
sponding sessions bring together the Training Assistants to receive
a more general orientation on OTR as well as detailed information
from members of the Registrar Staff on procedures for participating
in training. Similar avenues of information exchange are Training
Officers Conferences at which Agency Training Officers in general
or officers involved in training within a single component meet
with OTR officers to discuss problems of mutual concern and interest.
These gatherings are significant means not only for disseminating
information to training personnel but for determining from them their
requirements for assistance from the Office of Training.
Although the informational resources and services of the Registrar
Staff are primarily to serve the Agency through Training Officers
and Training Assistants, they are available to all Agency employees
who need information or guidance related to their professional develop-
ment. To fulfill the Registrar's role in advising Agency personnel
on internal and external training, therefore, the Admissions and
Information Branch serves in a threefold capacity of collection agent,
repository, and channel for the dissemination of information on the
broadest range of opportunities for training Agency employees, and
on the procedures related to participating in that training. A large
part of this task is accomplished through established patterns, but
a substantial portion has to be done on an ad hoc basis. Although
success in fulfilling this role depends heavily on the judgment and
experience of the members of the Registrar Staff, it rests also on
the judgment of others in OTR and on the responsiveness of Training
Officers and their Training Assistants throughout the Agency.
The administrative details connected with the attendance of
employees in OTR courses for which the Admissions and Information
Branch of the Registrar Staff has responsibility extend beyond what
might normally be expected to fall within the admissions function.
The processing of applications and the enrollment of employees in
courses is the major activity in this area of endeavor, but associated
with it, too, is the actual scheduling of classes and the assignment
of classrooms. All of these activities, although necessarily conducted
in consultation with the instructors and administrative staffs of the
five OTR schools on the one hand and the Training Officers and
Training Assistants within individual Agency components on the
other, impinge upon but are still quite apart from the organization
and presentation of the classwork itself. With the exception of
a very few courses for selected employees, AIB handles enrollments
for all OTR courses, and,in some instances, presentations by Agency
components other than OTR or by non-Agency consultants whose
services have been arranged on a contract basis.

Agency Form 73, "Request for Internal Training, " is in almost
every case the employee's application for training conducted by
the Agency and is consequently the primary document in AIB's
admissions activity. For OTR's courses the Form 73 should
be submitted by the Training Officer before the beginning of
training, preferably, as soon as the need for training is relatively
certain. Receipt of this form in duplicate -- the Registrar's
Copy and the Instructor's Copy -- signals AIB to action. The
full enrollment process, from checking the applicant's qualifications
through entering the name on the course roster and providing
the Training Officer with the final instructions for the employee's
attendance, is then performed by AIB.
In addition to its being the primary document in arranging for
participation in training, the Form 73 is important to instructors
in gauging the scope and pace of their instruction. The information
on this form serves a dual purpose. It is used by AIB to determine
the qualifications and priority status of the applicant, which not only
assures proper consideration to the deserving candidate but also
prevents the insufficiently qualified person from being embarrassed
by finding himself in a situation in which he is over his depth.
Instructors use this information to mold portions of their courses
to the needs and experience of the students, not only concentrating
more heavily on areas in which there are obvious gaps in the
experience of the particular group of students but also drawing on
the more experienced students in developing the less experienced.
Much valuable time is lost if instructors are obliged to wait until
the first day of the course to obtain this information from the
students themselves.
The administrative responsibility of the Admissions and
Information Branch in relation to arranging for the training of
employees in OTR courses or facilities does not end with enrollment.
The responsibility continues in a liaison role serving both instructors
and Training Officers. Withdrawal from classes, leave problems,
and the like are handled by the Branch. Further, it is through
AIB that the instructor's Training Report, the official report on
an employee's completion, failure to complete, or his withdrawal
from an OTR course, is sent to the Office of Personnel for inclusion
in the individual's official file and to Training Officers for the
information of the employee and for inclusion in the office files. It
is AIB that must insure that every individual on the class roster
is accounted for and that the report includes the form of certification
required, either a confirmation of attendance, an adjectival evaluation
of the student's performance, or a description of his performance
in the course. The report serves also as a basic document con-
tributing information for the Agency Training Record.

Another of AIB's responsibilities begins perhaps even before the
enrollment process. This is the coordinating of the schedule of
OTR's courses and the assigning of classrooms for the courses.
Schedules are submitted to AIB by School Chiefs, and from these
AIB prepares a master schedule, taking into consideration not
only required sequences of training and availability of instructors,
but also the capacity, equipment, and location of the classrooms
themselves.
The administrative aspects of the responsibility of the Admissions
and Information Branch of the Registrar Staff for organizing training
for Agency employees, therefore, center in the admissions process.
Tangential to this, however, are activities which involve coordinating
class scheduling and assigning classrooms, as well as assuring
the completeness and accuracy of records. In all these functions,
AIB is a point of contact which requires immediate communication
either with inst ructors and School Chiefs, with Training Officers
and their Assistants, or with both.
The records unit of the Admissions and Information Branch
deals with data which serve a variety of ends, but for purposes
of description they might be classed as those used temporarily
in relation to the admission and actual training process, and those
used to record information for statistical purposes or for officially
recording the training completed by Agency employees, it being
understood that some records fall into both classes. Although many
of the temporary records are intraoffice work papers, at the same
time they are the means by which the staff in AIB can answer the
numerous questions raised by supervisors throughout the Agency
during the time personnel are in a training status. These records
also contribute to the training reports which must be prepared by
instructors.
Most prominent among the temporary type of record is the
Agency Form 73, "Request for Internal Training, " which serves
in essence as the main item of AIB's locator file on individuals
while attending OTR's courses as well as the basis for all
manner of statistical information for periodic or ad hoc reports
on Agency training activities. The diverse function and special
significance of Form 73 have been treated in the Admissions
section of this article.

Another central record is the class roster for each OTR course.
Prepared from the Form 73, the roster is the administrative guide
for the instructor as well as the permanent record on the students
in each running of a course. The roster is a record that, having
served temporarily as a work paper, is also archival. Of a
somewhat similar nature is the semi-annual record which shows
the number of employees completing courses. This is a factual
presentation arranged by course and by OTR School, and contributes
to both calendar year and fiscal year statistical compilations.
The Admissions and Information Branch is the repository for
the Language Proficiency Record, the cumulative file in which
is recorded the foreign-language proficiency of each Agency employee.
This record shows the results of the Agency's official language
proficiency tests, as well as the date of such tests, for every
employee who has been tested by OTR's Language School.
The Agency Training Record (ATR), the official, permanent
record of training taken by Agency employees under Agency auspices,
whether through CIA's own facilities or at non-Agency facilities,
is a major concern of AIB's records unit. This record or file is
actually a mechanized data system maintained by the Office of
Computer Services, but the updating of the input is the responsibility
of AIB, and the Branch is the only channel through which recorded
information may be retrieved.
The ATR had its beginnings in 1958 when first steps were taken
by OTR to transfer information on courses completed by Agency
employees from manual records to punch cards for application to
the Agency's computer equipment. At the time, only information
on selected courses or programs -- principally those given by OTR
-- was mechanized. In intervening years, information on courses
conducted by other components of the Agency and those non-Agency
programs attended by employees under Agency sponsorship was
added to the file. Recently, this information was realigned for
programming on the Agency's new IBM 360 equipment.
The permanent file contains data on the training of all employees
who at one time or another completed a course -- something in
excess of 100, 000 entries. The document as it is produced as a
computer run semiannually for use in the office of the Registrar
and for distribution to Training Officers, however, contains line
entries on only those employees officially on duty with the Agency
-- approximately 75, 000 lines. The ATR is regularly produced in

four formats: one is alphabetical by name of employee, showing
the titles and dates of courses he has completed; the second
presents the same data, again listing employees alphabetically,
but according to the Office, Division, or Staff to which the
individual is assigned; the third presents the same data but lists
employees by service designation, indicating also the office of
assignment; and the fourth is a listing of course titles, internal
and external, and the names of employees having completed
each course. The first and fourth formats are designed especially
for use by the office of the Registrar, and the others are for
Training Officers and Personnel Officers. Supplemental information
from the System is utilized by the Registrar Staff to provide
statistical and other data on a more current basis.
The most recent issue of the ATR marks a new departure. It
is being reduced as a working document so that only training taken
within the most recent seven full years appears. Data for such
a period are considered sufficient to meet the normal requirements
of users. The full file remains available for retrieval should it
be needed, however.
The ATR, in a very real sense, is the culmination of the
records efforts of the Branch. Many of the supplementary records
AIB compiles, while serving specific ends of their own, are also
designed to serve ultimately as computer input. Basic media
are the two Agency forms: Form 73 "Request for Internal Training,
and Form 136 "Request for Training at non-Agency Facility. "
These forms are complemented by instructors' end-of-course
reports, by reports submitted by individual employees who have
completed training, and by other associated papers in serving as
input. Since the accuracy and quality of the ATR must depend on
the quality and promptness of input, it is essential that the basic
forms be filled out completely and carefully. The records function
of AIB, therefore, as with the information and admissions functions,
relies heavily on the cooperation and communicativeness of the
Training Officers and Training Assistants throughout the Agency.

NON-AGENCY TRAINING
This section of the OTR Bulletin contains information on
non-CIA courses or programs related to career develop-
ment of CIA employees. Attendance may be sponsored by
the Agency or it may be self-sponsored. The Training Of-
ficer must be consulted on Agency-sponsored training.
Agency Sponsorship:
A Form 136, "Request for Training at Non-Agency
Facility" (revised effective June 1966), is sent to
the Registrar's office, External Training Branch,
by the Training Officer. For overt employees, the
completed form is sent directly to ETB. For non-
overt applicants, the form is sent first to DDP/OPSER/
CCS. No formal steps toward registration should be
taken prior to OTR approval.
Self -sponsorship:
According to an employee who
takes a non-Agency course at his own expense is re-
quired to send a written request for approval through
administrative channels to the Director of Security.
The request will include the subject(s) to be studied,
the name and address of the school, the full name(s)
of the instructor(s), and the dates and hours of in-
struction.

This is a comprehensive four-week, two-part basic training program
in the ADP Systems Development Process. The objective is to teach
programmers and others with programming experience the fundamental
concepts and skills of computer systems analysis for management-
oriented applications. The goal is to produce "junior" analysts who
can do systems work under the minimal guidance of experienced analysts.
The course is divided into a one-week phase, Basic Concepts, and a
three-week phase, Advanced Applications. The first phase defines
the requirements of the job and how these requirements fit into the
total systems development process. From a broad look at the whole
process, the participant is drawn to the identification of specific
techniques and their use by the analyst. Emphasis is on the relation-
ship of the analyst to the "user, " to management, to programming
functions, and to data processing operations. The second phase trains
the new analyst in the basic skills and techniques of the art. Case
problems are related to lecture points which bring out specific systems
design techniques, following the general sequence presented in the first
phase.
For computer specialists, digital computer programmers preparing for
systems analysis work, newly assigned systems analysts with program-
ming experience, or others with programming experience who need a
working knowledge of systems analysis techniques.
The course may be taken as a whole, or either phase may be taken
separately. Prompt enrollment is encouraged.
Cost: Entire course, $500; Phase I only, $160; Phase II only, $375.
Phase II, Advanced Applications, 27 November - 15 December
