I. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
Nothing to report.
II. OTHER ITEMS
Information Re rting, Reports and Requirements(IRRR}: Eight
students successfu2ly finished the course on March 19 . -25X1A9a
NE, is continuing laboratory work until 21 March to
make up time lost to sickness. WH is finishing 25X1A9a
at her desk reports also delayed by sickness. 25X1A9a
NE, attended the class 32-16 )urchin: order to up a Week
that she missed from a previous IRRR class. Mr. - reports 25X1A9a
she did an excellent job. Indications are that by 22 March all 10
students in the class will have completed the course and will have
demonstrated,the ability to perform on at least the satisfactory
level of reporting skill. Since it will be interrupted for a week
by the move to the new building and since adequate support in such
matters as the showing of training films will be missing for the en-
tire month of April, it is proposed to handle the 38th class in
IRRR, 2-20, April as a tutorial group without a formal schedule.
Most of the time will be spent in laboratory work.
Information Reports Familiarization (IRF): 25X1A9a
NE, reported on 12 March for tutorial training. She was due Soon
to go on an assignment to a small field station where she would
be responsible for producing information reports in finished form,
a duty in which she was inexperienced. In such cases a full week's
directed practice in matters of format will generally bring passable
25X1A9a results. With Miss S however, the week was curtailed by seri-
ous processing interruptions and by her taking off 16 March on
leave. Therefore the training results were not passable. Her train-
ing was insufficient to give her the ability to produce a finished
information report.
OTR, is in process of doing her final prac-
tical reporting problem in tutorial IRF training. After its comple-
tion, she will have finished her formal training schedule; but she
will continue on-the-job training by checking with the instructor
from time to time editorial problems that she may encounter.

25X1A9a
25X1A9a
is registered for tutorial training
in IRF, 19-23 March. She is making excellent progress and has already
shown the ability to handle well so far as format is concerned the
finished information report, both in the cable and pouch versions.
Counterintelligence Operations Course: Course No. 43 concluded
16 March, a report for which is in preparaation. We recently received
via the CI Staff a case study which may prove 25X1A8a
useful in the course. Two art c s in Studies in Intelligence, one
on defectors and the other on double agents, were incorporated in
course reading materials and are being considered for use as sub-
stitutes in future courses for lectures. This Would be in compli-
ance with DTR's request that where possible we get away from excessive
reliance on the lecture as a mans of instruction. The authors of
the articles are now or were speakers in the course and what they
have written is very close to what is presently being given in lec-
ture form.
Records Officers Course: Course No. 7, with 14 students, con-
cluded on ursday, 15 March. In the past, this was a full-time
course of three days duration. However, the number of present and
prospective records officers who have attended this course fell far
below the expectations of the DDP. It has now been decided by
representatives of the DbP and OTR to make the ROC a five day, part-
time course, commencing with ROC No. 8, scheduled to begin Monday,
26 March. This will be held in an OSI conference room in Headquarters
Building. Thereafter future runnings are scheduled to commence
9, 16, 23 and 30 April and 7 May 1962. These classes will be held
in 0TR classrooms in the Headquarters Building.
Covert Action Operations:, Course No. 54 will begin 26 March
as scheduled.- To date four students are enrolled. 25X1A9a
Scientific and Technical Operations: Mr.
returned 16 March from their trip to Huntsville and Cape Canaveral.
I-asked Mr. - to report separately on this. The report is
attached. Both he and Mr. - are continuing their preparations
for Course No. 8 in which five persons have so far been enrolled.
Arrangements are going ahead for the appearance of a recently returned
military attache from USSR who will speak on the operational experi-
ences he had in collection of information -- emphasis on S&T where
possible. Also 0SI is going to try to secure a speaker from the
R&D or Plans Staff of the Air Force or Army to speak as a consumer
or =utilizer' of S&T intelligence.
