Course Conduct
34 As usual when dealing with CSCTs, these courses were presented
as a unit and full time instead of part time. CS Records I was co-
pressed into one and one-half days. The lecture portion of CAS Records II
was given in the afternoon of the second day. We were able to do this
successfully in part because of the cooperation of the speakers, and in
part because of the small size and unusual quality of the class.

ance as they CRS representative. Isis talk was well received and he was
asked a number of questions. He is scheduled to appear again at the
next course.
25X1A9a 5. 'RfCTR, gave an excellent opening talk to the class,
drawing on his Field and Headquarters experience to considerable effect.
The fact that he had been through the Cr program himself helped to
establish rapport which continued through the rest of the course.

6. This was unusual class in several ways. So of the stu-
dents had desk experience and a few had considerable experience in
tracing.. The majority were graduate students, experienced in research
and quick to recognize and follow leads. The relatively small size
of the class made discussion easy, and most of the students contributed
interostin and valuable sidelights from their civilian and M'ency
experience. 25X1A9a

in false starts and pointless duplication, and each was equally thoug l aboutinfoxmation possibly lost or misfiled through ignorance. It
was their consensus that no Case Officer should be put to work, either
at a desk or at a station, without havin first been put through some
basic course such as C5 Records T. This tends to reinforce the conclu.
