tco-week orientation to representatives of the Defense
Establishment, primarily members of the unified and speci-
fled commands. This program is known as Project -25MA2g
2. Beginning in 1964, nd in addition to the annual
tuo-meek, program, the Aency esented two abridged 25X1A2g
t ~~o-day versions of oject Aw. Members of the Joint

from the Defense Establishment rather than the Agency.
The Defense Intelligence enc is now preparing a two-day
25X1A2g program called Project &" which will be presented by
DIA for Central Intelligence Agency officials. We would
expect some disappointment an the part of the prospective
students if our October program is deferred or canceled.
Your advice is requested, therefore, regarding the advis-
ability of canceling or deterring this program, the prob-
able extent of disappointment, and the effect this might
have on your relationships with the Defense Establishment.
