In a report on Clerical Training statistics prepared in December 1961+, we listed the number of entrance-on-duty clerical personnel by their job cate- gory and indicated how many had qualified in typewriting and/or shorthand during initial testing. We also identi- fied by job category the number who attended classes and met qualifications in typewriting and/or shorthand after training. Because these statistics were regarded as significant in indicating an increase in the numbers qualifying after training, a current report is submitted for the period of 4 January - 3 April 1965 CLERKS Tested in typing 44 Q ualified 1 (2%) Not Qualified 43 (98%) Tested in shorthand Qualified Not Qualified Tested in typing Qualified Not Qualified 1 0 1 96 22 7l (100%) (23%) (77%) Tested in shorthand 36 Qualified 0 Not Qualified 36 (100%) STENOGRAPHERS Tested in typing 55 Qualified 28 (50%) Not Qualified 27 (50%) V V Approved For Release 2000/06/06T-FDPISc96A0001f0010012-7 5T -RFT 07, Approved For Release 2000/06/06 : CIA-RDP78-06866A000100010012-7 Bi-Weekly Activities Report, No. 8 29 March - 9 April 1965 ROD TEST RESULTS (Continued) Qualified 21 (38%) Not qualified 34 (62%) Tested in typing 195 Qualified 51 (26%) Not Qualified 144 (74%) Tested in shorthand 92 Qualified 21 (23%) Not: ;Qualified 71 (77%) EOD TESTING AND TESTING ASR TRAINING CLERKS Tested in typing 44 Qualified 3 (7%) Still in Class 6 (13%) Not Qualified 35 (80%) Tested in shorthand 1 Not qualified Qualified 0 1 (100%) TYPISTS Tested in typing 96 Qualified 74 (77%) Still in Class 6 (6%) Not Qualified 16 (17%) Tested in shorthand 36 Qualified 9 (25 ) Still in class 2 (696 Not Qualified 25 (69%) STENOGRAPHERS Tested in typing 55 Qualified 52 (95%) Still in class (5%) Not Qualified 0 Tested in shorthand 55 Qualified 39 (71%) Still in class 5 (9%) Not Qualified 11 (20%) Approved For Release 2000/06/06 : CIP4-RDP78-06096A000100010012-7 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/06/06 : CIA-RDP78-06006A000100010012-7 Bi-Weekly Activities Report, No. 8 29 March - 9 April 1965 EOD TESTING AND TESTING AFTER TRAINING (Continued) Tested in typing 195 Qualified 129 (66%) Still in class 15 ( 8%) Not Qualified 51 (26%) Tested in shorthand 92 Qualified 48 (52%) Still in class 7 (8%) Not Qualified 37 () 25X1A 8. Shorthand Pretesting at NPIC: On 31 March 1965 administered a pretest in shorthand to 12 employees assigned to NPIC. This test was given for the purpose of determining the level of shorthand competence of the clericals tested. From these tests it is hoped that we can ascertain what type of shorthand refresher training might be of practical value for those interested in enrolling in a class to be conducted at NPIC in April. 9.

Another factor that distinguished this group from any previous Grid sessions to date was the fact that two thirds of the group were women. As compe o he two earlier Finance groups this class did not appear as good a com- prehension of the Grid concepts nor were they A competent in their understanding of the pre-work. As a result, the first several scored exercises fell below the previous Finance and Agency averages. Interest and commitment were high and the group worked very hard indeed. It W was very interesting to note that on the final competitive exercise whew scores were established this group went higher than any of the previous Finance or Senior Seminars. There was good indication that this class was particularly successful in the development of the interpersonal relations and other process skills that the program is designed to achieve. An. analysis of the Finance project to date will be prepared as soon as we can. find sufficient time. was again 25X1A our consultant for this group with the Management Faculty participating even more extensively in the full details of analyzing, administering and presenting the program, including still more of the lectures. , Deputy Chief, Finance, was with us part of Saturday and Sunday, during which time we developed further plans and under- standing for proceeding into Phase II of the Project. We are currently attempting to set up the first step in this Phase around the middle of May. In fact, we are attempting to get Messrs. Fuchs and and 25X1A their division and staff chiefs together at on the weekend 25X1A of 14 and 15 May just before the beginning of the next Senior Seminar.

Accordingly, we plan to utilize it in the Senior Seminar next month. SENIOR SEMINAR Plans for this Seminar are as far advanced as we can make them at this time, and we are momentarily expecting the names of candidates. ANALYSIS OF EXECUTIVE SEMINAR is completing an analysis of the critiques that were received on the February Executive Seminar. It will be recalled that these were carefully structured critiques of a new design, and the analysis will be forwarded as soon as final typing can be completed. MANAGEMENT #89 Management #89 is scheduled to begin at_ on the morning of 25X1A 19 April. Because the 18th is Easter Sunday, we are deviating from our usual plan of beginning these courses on Sunday afternoon. Regis- tration to date for this course is about twenty people, which is an appreciable drop off from the size classes we have had for the past year. This may to some degree be the result of our extensive absences and involvement with other programs for the last several months. This class does appear, however, to be a better mixing of the major Agency components than normal. S;'UPERVISION IN- BASKE T has almost completed the development of an in-basket to be used in our Supervision Courses, the next of which is scheduled to begin 3 May, at which time we propose to initiate use of this new device. We anticipate that it will be very effective and are anxious to test it out. 25X1A ONTRACT 25X1A 25X1A has continued this week to implement further pro- visions and -procedures under the contract with and straighten out some of the problems that are carried 25X1A - (ii3ir1 Approved For Release 2000/0~ 1 k-RDP78-06096A0001 00010 Approved For Rel a 2000/06/06 CIA-RDP78-06096A000100010012-7 over from our previous ad hoc method of operating. Task Orders have been prepared to handle the Office of Finance Project and the May Senior Seminar.

CIA Introduction: This program was conducted by - on 25X1A 29 March for 15 new employees and on 5 April for 18 new employees. 2. NPIC: On 29 March, I gave a briefing on the CIA relationships to the White House, the National Security Council, and the intelligence community for a group of employees attending the Special 1.0. Course for NP I C. 3. CSR: On 5 April, I briefed the Clandestine Services Review Course on the National Security Relationships and The Intelligence Community. The CSR is usually a difficult audience, particularly when you are the first speaker on the program. This group seemed much more wide-eyed and eager, particularly for a Monday morning, than the ones we usually get in this course. They asked a number of questions. 4. Orientation for Overseas: On 6 and 7 April, - con- 25X1A ducted this course for 29 participants, including 13 dependent wives. I was unable to sit in for the whole program, but I did listen to two 25X1A of lectures. His presentation this time was quite different from the earlier presentation I heard during the first running of the course. He had the audience in the palm of his hand. His informal manner of presentation seemed to go over extremely well and his points were very clearly made. This program is now well under way and I think the course plan is very satisfactory and should be continued. Unfortunately, for the next few months we will be having difficulty with the problem of space. Our new conference room is not large enough to handle the larger volume of people expected during this time. I hope we will receive some cooperation i.n getting larger quarters. BRIEFING OF U.S.. OFFICIAL On 1 April I gave a briefing to Colonel James D. Moore, USA, who is going to Libya as Chief, MAAG. Colonel Moore was most receptive and asked a number of interesting questions. x iL' lr Approved For Release 2000/06/06 CIA-RDP78 06096A 00100010012-7 Approved For Release 2000/06/ p pRDP78-060WA000100010012-7 ; lt20: 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1 C SUBJECT: Biweekly Activities Report #8 BRIEFINGS. OF U.S. GOVERNMENT GROUPS, I. State: On 31 March, we conducted the Agency's full-day program for the Foreign Affairs Program Management Seminar. The program was run very much as it has been in the past, with a morning briefing and answers to various questions from the audience on my part and in the afternoon, a briefing by of the FI Staff and 25X1A of the ?Staff on their various fields. There were 24 students in the class. The audience this time was more senior than it has been i n the past and it was obvious that the State Department people were more experienced and more skeptical. The' ins were very sophisticated and often quite detailed. however, that the 25X1A program was me ~riith enthusiastic response, and several of the gentle- men came up to "a_fterwards and said this had been the best day they had spent in their course so far. (-It'bel ievesthat the program was a success. 2. Industrial War College: On 1 April, I presided over a meeting at which two OCI analysts, Miss , 25X1A spoke to a group of Industrial War College students who are about to embark on a trip to Southeast Asia. They covered Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I was, personally, very much impressed by their presentation as the Industrial War College people seemed to be. 3. AID: On 2 April, I briefed the 23 AID employees attending the Overseas Orientation course. As usual, this group was most attentive and asked many questions. BRIEFING OF PRIVATE GROUP BCIU: On 2 April, Mr. briefed 17 businessmen attending the Business Counci or International Understanding Training Program at American University.

The two-week (half day, thrice weekly) special 10 25X1A Program for 25 NPIC students at was completed on 9 April. Primarily conducted by t e acuity, the 25X1A course also benefited from the services of Messrs. 25X1A of the Intelligence School, Messrs. and of the Operations School and Messrs. of 25X1A DDS&T and _ of ORR for instruction on specific subjects. This special program was arranged by Mr. and 25X1A in response to a need for basic orientation for in v~ ua s who had been on duty for some time but whose work at NPIC did not permit extended periods away from their jobs. b. In general, the program went well In view of all the special security and transportation arrangements required for a course there. In view of the extremely limited opportunities for study and of the abbreviated nature of the course, the class as a whole did well. 3. Outside Briefing 25X1A On 2 April 1965 briefed the outgoing Deputy Chief of Mission to Damascus, Mr. Hugh Appling, on national security and intelligence community changes and on significant developments within this Agency.

On 7 April Messrs. attended a lecture at the National Interdepartmental Seminar on "Traditional Societies and the Forces of Change," given by Professor Johnstone of the School of Advanced Inter- national Studies. Professor Johnstone's analysis of the nature of traditional societies and of the forces which arise to cause change -- for better or worse -- was extremely interesting as background for the IOF repre- sentatives' occasional need to present brief discussions of 25X1A c. of the October 1964 JOT class, who was assigned to the IOF for two weeks (22 March - 2 April) while awaiting further training, was most helpful In 25X1A assisting select unclassified reading material for the forthcoming Intelligence Review. He also helped much in the screening of mailbags full of books from the former Area Library to spot those which bear on foreign views of the United States, a part of the "American Thesis" element of orientation courses.
