BULLETIN
BOARD
NATIONAL The next session of the National Interdepartmental
INTERDEPART- Seminar on Problems of Development and Internal Defense
MENTAL will begin on 6 January 1969 at the Foreign Service
SEMINAR Institute, State Annex 16, Washington Building, Arlington
Towers. The objective of this course is to familiarize
key civilian and military officers assigned to command,
staff, and departmental positions relative to developing
countries with U, S. policy, doctrines, and capabilities
applicable to the prevention and defeat of inimical subversion
and subversive insurgency in those countries. Attendance at
NIS is a prerequisite to assignment of CS officers to key
positions in underdeveloped countries. The Agency's quota
is eight. Form 136 should be submitted to OTR/RS/ETB,
Room 835, 1000 North Glebe Road. The beginning dates for
the next three sessions are: 6 January, 24 February, and
21 April. At present the course is under review. It is
anticipated that in the near future a full description of the
revised course will be published in the OTR Bulletin.
SUMMER JOBS For parents of those dependents who are interested in
IN FEDERAL Federal Government summer employment outside the Agency,
AGENCIES the Office of Training publishes the pertinent information on
the Civil Service testing dates for the "Summer Employment
Examination." Announcement #414 "Summer Jobs in Federal
Agencies," which fully explains the program and contains an
application blank, is readily obtainable by calling the Civil
Service Commission. The dates to remember are:

17 February - 14 March 28 April - 23 May
Before taking either course, or both, an employee is
required to take a preliminary test or tests given by the
Clerical Training Faculty (CTF). The results are used
to determine the level of the course the employee should
take. These tests are given on Wednesday, typewriting at
9:30 a. m. and shorthand at 10:30 a. m. Dates for the
preliminary tests in the above courses are:
8 January 19 March

Submission of a Form 73 to AIB/RS for refresher training
is all that is required to initiate testing. Training Officers
are notified directly by CTF as to time and place to report.
QUALIFICATION TESTS
The CTF gives the Agency's tests in typewriting and
shorthand to employees who want to qualify as typists and
stenographers. Training Officers or Personnel Officers
must arrange registration directly with CTF,
before 5 p. m. the Thursday immediately preceding the
desired Monday testing. Qualification tests in both type-
writing and shorthand are given on the same morning,
typewriting at 9 a. m. and shorthand at 10:30 a. m. CTF
notifies Training Officers or Personnel Officers of the
results of the tests.
Tests will be given on: 6 January, 20 January, 10 February,

COMPUTER
SCIENCE
TRAINING
To meet the increased demands
for competence in all aspects of
automatic data processing and to
reduce the cost of achieving this
competence a total program of
internal training in computer science
for Agency personnel has been designed. Many parts of the program
have been fully implemented. At present, the major parts of the
program are ADEPT (A Developmental EDP Professional Training)
Program, MICOT (Miniaturized Computer Technology), General ADP
Orientation, User Analysts Systems Orientation, and Using Interactive
Systems.
ADEPT
The ADEPT Program is designed to produce EDP professionals
thoroughly competent with the IBM-360 system. The basic course
is a 16-week course which trains the beginner to use the IBM 360 at
the journeyman level of proficiency. Assembly, procedural, and job
control languages are taught and the final weeks of the course include
modular programming and programming design of medium size systems.
The better graduates should be able to assume responsible professional
roles within several months of graduation. Two basic courses are
given per year, one in September and one in February. The fifth class
will graduate in December 1968. The intermediate program consists
of a series of courses which are designed for journeymen programmers
and are meant to reinforce his present skills. Topics which provide
the student with material useful in his daily assignments are addressed.
These courses are advertised in the OTR Bulletin and each course is
offered every 12 - 18 months. The senior program consists of courses
which are not necessarily related to immediate problems. They are of
an advanced nature and are comparable to those given at the graduate
level in the computer science curriculum of major universities.
Examples are topics such as operating systems, Real-time system

design, and Language Processor Design and Development. The first
of these courses will be offered in early 1969.
MICOT is a program designed to train programmers and users of
miniaturized computers such as the IBM 4Pi. MICOT training consists
of a two-week basics course focused specifically upon miniature
computers for users, and a detailed fundamentals and programming
course for designers, programmers, and installers. Several ad hoc
courses have been given by using instructions furnished by the manu-
facturer. A regular schedule of such offerings is being planned for
1969.
General ADP Orientation
The most popular of the courses offered under this generic is the
three-day ADP Orientation given six to nine times per year. Other
orientation which may be required for special purposes is available
upon request. As an example, a 30-hour course is being prepared for
personnel who are located in areas which have terminals on-line to the
OCS Interactive Systems.
User Analysts Systems Orientation
This program includes various depth courses on the systems
development process. The most popular is the three-day course, "The
Systems Development Process," offered by Brandon Associates. It
has been given approximately four times per year. Another two-week
course has also been given. This total program is being evaluated to
meld better into Agency requirements.
Using Interactive Systems
This program is designed for analysts who will be using remote
terminals attached to the OCS Interactive (Time Sharing) Computer
System. Usage of such problem-oriented languages as SOLVE, TORQUE,
LINUS, and DESKCAL is taught. Conversational systems, on-line file
structures, user language processors, and interactive computational
constraints are included as topics. In addition to the several tutorials
which are presently being given, formal courses will be given after the
installation of the IBM 360/67 interactive system in January 1969.

Use of EDP is expanding very rapidly in the Agency. The
installation of terminals in the user areas which puts the full processing
and computational power of the system within arms reach of the user
undoubtedly will stimulate still another surge of growth. Eventually,
most Agency employees will be in some contact with computers and
their products. Agency ADP training plans to educate qualified employees
from all Directorates to an understandable and useful level. Schedules
of all courses will be published in the OTR Bulletin. Training Officers
should be consulted for information on registration procedures.
"The designer is essentially a solver of problems,
problems presented to him by the nature of the task,
of the materials he is using, of the people who will
be using his design, and of the market for which it
is being produced.
"The model of man which emerges when we consider
him as a problem solver - whether his problem is to
land an aircraft or design a coffee percolator - is a
data processing model. These words are operational,
they define concepts in terms of what is done.
"Man is seen as a hierarchy of systems in which he
receives data, processes data, and puts out data . . .
"This does not imply in any way that a man's mind
works like a digital computer - though it does not deny
the possibility. It does say that the relations between
what goes into his head through his eyes and ears and
what comes out through his voluntary muscles, often
suggests what he does. "

CUTTING
TRAINING
COSTS
Three trends have become observable on the training scene
recently: (a) The amount of necessary training is steadily growing;
(b) The cost of training per student is increasing; (c) The budgets
to pay for the training are getting tighter. This article is designed to
aid Training Officers in getting the most for their money by pointing
out the least expensive alternatives. It should be clearly understood
that often the most expensive solution is to avoid training or to utilize
training that doesn't really meet the employee's objectives.
The basic step in cutting training costs is to delineate accurately
the requirement. Frequently courses are taken that really are not
responsive to the student's needs or for which the student lacks the
necessary background. Once the requirements are defined the
following alternatives exist (Listed in order of consideration):
(a) Component training - e. g. , on-the-job training (including
assigned reading)
(h) Internal training - these include both OTR courses and other
training provided within the Agency (e. g. , Office of Communications,
Technical Services Division, Office of Computer Services, etc. )
1. Other Government agencies
2. Academic institutions
3. Commercial facilities
Component Training
Presuming that neither "on-the-job training" nor assigned reading
provides a solution, there are a number of possibilities for economies
if the training problem is a general rather than an individual one. For
example, in one instance a retired staff employee was brought back on
contract to provide an advanced economics course; in another, a contract
was made with a commercial facility to provide a course in contracting;

in a third instance, the Training Officer arranged for the Management
Faculty at Fort Belvoir to provide a three-day course (at no cost) on
the PERT system. When the Agency provides the space and there are
sufficient students involved, appreciable savings are possible by
contracting out the teaching. In some instances components with
joint interests have shared such contracting costs. One other possibi-
lity exists when : (a) The training is of an academic variety, (b) is
given by either American University or George Washington University,
(c) and the employees concerned are overt. In this instance, the
component can request that the course be given as part of the Agency
Off-Campus Program.
Internal Training
Between OTR and the components there are a wide variety of
operational, technical and managerial courses made available to
employees within the Agency. Old courses are dropped periodically
and new ones added when sufficient demand exists. Recent examples
of this are new finance and budget courses scheduled to start early in
1969 and a series of ADP courses being planned by the Office of Computer
Services. When justified, tutorial instruction can be made available.
Essentially, internal training is conducted in response to known demand
and within the limitations of cost effectiveness. As in the component
training alternatives listed above, it is often preferable to contract for
courses of common interest (e. g. , Reading Improvement) rather than
to build them into staff structures.
External Training
External training requires a careful matching of goals with course
objectives and it is rare that a perfect fit can be made. Timing is often
a critical factor in saving costs in external training. Identifying a
requirement early in the process can mean the difference between
being forced to go out of town although local courses are available, of
using relatively expensive external facilities when internal ones could
have been used (e. g. , language training), in being able to take advantage
of non-tuition cost DOD programs rather than commercial ones. In
addition, careful planning is necessary to avoid paying either the
penalty fee or the full tuition charged by many facilities for late notice
cancellations. Therefore, attendance at a course should be a relative
certainty before a student is enrolled.
In general terms while other Government agency courses may not
be perfectly tailored to an Agency training need, they tend to be better
suited and sometimes cheaper than commercial ones. There have also
been instances where full advantage was not taken of courses in
maintenance and operation offered free to buyers of equipment. Normally

DOD courses are provided tuition free; but in some cases we have
had to turn down quotas in these courses for lack of interest (e. g.
management courses at Fort Belvoir). The GSA offers a number of
records management, contracting and other logistics courses free of
charge. There are dozens of excellent correspondence courses offered
by DOD. Even the Foreign Service Institute (which is normally forced
to operate on a prorated cost basis) on occasion will offer to the Agency
spaces in a tuition-free Area Seminar in order to reach minimum class
strength.
It is realized that, with the exception of a few rather high-priced
commercial courses, one of the principal costs of training is student
salary. The cost savings possibilities in after-hours courses are
apparent. For the most part this applies to academic courses and
correspondence courses. Often the latter are as effective and have
cheaper tuition costs than the former. It is estimated that employees
donate off-hours time gratis in academic and correspondence courses
which approximates a quarter of a million dollars a year. A number
of excellent academic courses are available at reduced rates because
of Federal subsidies to educational institutions. This applies to both
State and local adult education courses. The United States Department
of Agriculture Graduate School courses, while not free, are both
excellent and inexpensive.
Governmental policy expressed both in the Government Employee
Training Act and in Executive Orders clearly encourages self-development
by employees. While it is true that the Government inevitably benefits
when an employee upgrades his skills, there are numerous instances
where through increased promotional and job opportunities, this benefit
accrues chiefly to the employee. Training and personnel officers can,
by giving guidance on career development, benefit both the employee
and the Agency.
Many Training Officers do not have a knowledge of source material
or the time to become full cognizant of the many opportunities to cut
training costs, but the Office of Training and specifically the Registrar
Staff has the capability of servicing this need. In the sense of formalized
communications there are a number of OTR-issued documents which
can be of aid, specifically the OTR Bulletin, the bi-yearly Schedule of
Courses , and the Training Officers Handbook which will be issued in the
Spring of 1969.
In summary, utilization of the best and least expensive training is
critical. Failure to train or failure to select courses that meet objectives
could be the most expensive solution. Therefore, defining objectives and
correctly selecting from a wide variety of alternatives are the key steps.
The Registrar Staff, OTR, will be pleased to counsel and assist in this
regard.

REQUEST FOR EXTERNAL TRAINING
(FORM 136)
The Office of Training has received many inquiries on how best
to complete the Form 136 (Request for Training at a Non-Agency
Facility). We hope the following will be of assistance in answering
these questions. A facsimile of Form 136 appears on page 18.
In addition to being a request for training, the Form 136 also
serves as a contract for the expenditure of funds, a request for
travel order (where appropriate), a request for security approval,
and the input document for the computer.
Items 3 - 15 in the sample show the correct form for completing
these blocks. Proper completion of these blocks facilitates processing
the request and decreases the necessity for corrections.
In the past, occasionally the information supplied in items 23
through 25 has not been thorough. Item 23 should be as complete and
accurate as possible (reference to course announcement or brochure
would be helpful); item 24 should show the facility providing the training,
and item 25 is the actual location (e. g. Boston) of the training site.
Description of course, item 26, should be a repetition of the facility's
course description (if available) in sufficient detail to permit matching
the training goals in item 30.
Item 30 should be a specific statement of objectives. In addition,
it should provide a justification of the training requested and relate
the employee's job responsibilities to the goals. It is often possible on
the basis of information given here for the Office of Training to suggest
an alternate course; in some cases, a less expensive one, or one which
might better satisfy the goal.
for the requested training, the Form 136 must be forwarded to the
Central Cover Staff prior to submission to the Office of Training.

25X1
Off-Campus Programs on Agency premises during the 1969
Spring Semester again will be conducted by the Office of Training
through arrangements with George Washington University and
American University. The programs enable Agency employees to
further their professional capability by taking courses, undergraduate
or graduate, at reduced rates and under convenient conditions. These
programs also provide an opportunity for components to meet
extensive requirements for particular categories of training.
Each three credit-hour course will cost $132. All classes will
start during the week of 3 February and will continue for 15 weekly
sessions. Only overt employees may participate. A person may
enroll on his own or, if the course is approved as job-related or
developmental, under Agency sponsorship. All instructors are Agency
employees accredited by the universities. A majority of the courses
will be conducted in the Headquarters Building.
Registration for the spring term will be in the Auditorium at
Headquarters on Thursday, 23 January, from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m.
A representative from George Washington University will be
present to answer questions. American University will provide
counseling on request. Further information on the courses or
the Off-Campus Programs in general may be obtained by callin
of the OTR Registrar's office,
It is expected that the following courses will be offered on the
days indicated. All elements of the program including the days
listed, are tentative, however.

In our credential-conscious society, individuals who do not
have a college degree often labor under a serious disadvantage,
no matter how competent they may be. Many opportunities for
job advancement require a college diploma to unlock the door.
At the same time, paradoxically, there are more opportunities
today than ever before for learning outside the classroom. An
estimated 30, 000, 000 Americans are regularly at work "impro-
ving themselves" through ETV, correspondence courses, on-
the-job training, or independent study.
In an effort to bridge the gap between competence and
credentials, the College Entrance Examination Board last fall
launched a new program that allows individuals with knowledge
and skills that are comparable to those of undergraduates, to
gain credit toward a college degree merely by taking an exam-
ination. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) offers
two types of exams: General and Subject. The five General
Examinations measure achievement at the undergraduate level
in the basic areas of the liberal arts: English composition,
humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences-
history. More than a dozen Subject Examinations are available
in areas as diverse as general psychology, introductory calcu-
lus, and money and banking. A variety of other examinations
are in the process of development. Information is available
from CLEP, Box 977, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
