I. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
1. TFW has indicated that there people to be
assessed or C/A&E
will depart on 26 May for rea there until the task is
completed.
In connection with the assessment of subjects for this project,
C/A&E discussed the value of the assessment to their instructors with
25X1A9a - at the on 23 May. Pop is primarily
25X1A6a interested in re tion on the subject rather than
assessment type of information. A short biographical sketch and a de-
tailed record of the individual's training and relevant experience
25X1 A9a is information he finds valuable. Any suggestions on handling specific
individuals would also be welcomed. Both Pop and emphasized
psychological assessment should be used as one of we cr eria for
screening the individuals before they come to the 6a
Station. If there is any question about the indi s egard
25X1 A9a he should not be exposed to the training facility according to Ken
We are uncertain as to how TFW has used the psychological
assessment information A&E has provided in the past. We will make every
effort to avoid assessment, being performed just for sake of assessment.

25X1A will be in Washington during the last half of dune for the purpose
25X1 C8 of being briefed on the Agency. The as requested that
C/A&E brief him on psychological support services to intelligence opera-

25X1 A9a to transfer - to our TO and, to have him stationed in Washington
next year for the purpose of completing his internship training (he
will still be doing this work under Columbia University guidance).
The expenses involved other than subject's salary will be kept at a
25X1 A9a minimum by keeping him in Washington rather than sending him to New
York. It may also be possible to have do occasional assess-
ments ments for the A&E Staff when we need to call upon him. This will
be discussed with - today at a meeting in which both
25X1A9a and will participate.
25X1A9a
If. sent Wednesday at
Company headquarters, being briefed on the coz.5X1 A
parry's experiments w3 programmed instruction. No newcomers to the
field, their interest goes back to 1958. By now they have developed,
or are developing, twenty programs in such subjects as basic photography,
general departmental safety, and management principles. In general.,
they are enthusiatic and can see many challenging possibilities ahead.
As major disadvantages, they pointed (1) to the difficulty so far in
convincing management to support the enlargement of staff which they
find necessary to support the requests for programming services which
are now coming through and (2) to the problem of motivating programmers
during the many months before they begin to get substantial evidence
about the effectiveness of their ro As major ad-
vantages' pointed out25X1 A
that programme struction will not only improve training efficiency,
but will make training more widely available, and convenient, to trainees
both at headquarters and in the field.
