2. Languag Development Regulation
The field version of the new language development regulation is
still in DD/P awaiting authentication, having been submitted to them

new regulation. The Headquarters version has now been completely

wishes in regard to a written statement of OTR policy oni dependent
training. Rather than a new CIA regulation, Col. White is looking
for a statement of OTR criteria for acceptance of dependents for
various OTR training and orientation courses. PPS and Registrar,
OTR, will collaborate on this and produce a paper, probably in the
form of an OTR Regulation, for transmittal to EA-DD/S on Tuesday,
24 May, or sooner.

7. Trai ij Evaluation & port Pori !
For nearly a year now PPS and others have been worrying (like
a puppy with an old shoe) the problem of a one-page training evalua-
tion report. The problem was referred to the OTR Educational Com-
mittee without much real success.
It was concluded that gone-page
report is possible, is very practicable for a few courses, but not
really very feasible for the majority of OTR courses, especially
those which appear to call for detailed evaluation in several skills
or areas of knowledge. We will therefore propose a more uniform and
simplified format, evaluation criteria, definitions of adjectival ratings
(three), and statement of training objectives. The length and content
of the form to be used will be left to the discretion of the course chief
and School Chief.
