7TANDARD ?ORM NO. 54 T ce emoranaum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ed Fo ease 200!1/06/06. CIA-RDPtft--6O46A00010001O i7-2 : Chief, Intelligence School FROM : Chief:, Orientation Faculty SUBJECT: Biweekly Activities Report No. 3 18 - 29 January 1965 DATE: 1 February 1965 1. Intelligence Orientation X35 began on 25 January with an enrollment of 44 students.' This is a more senior group than most, with one-third of the students in Grade GS-11 or above. We note an unusually large number of senior scientists from the DDS&T area in the class. 2. JOT Orientation ti An analysis of the January JOT group reveals that they made aslightly better average rating in their first examination than the most recent comparable group of July 1964. The results showed no significant difference in scores between the large number of "internals" and the "externals" (Agency newcomers) in the class. Our staff opinion, based on only one week's experience with the class, is that there may be a good number of potentially outstanding individuals in this group. Seven received an "Outstanding" rating, and 33 a "Strong" rating on the test. 3. JOT Tutorial 25X1A Messrs. participated in a 25X1A series of tutorial briefings for a deep cover JOT during the week of 18 January. of FE Division, who is "handling" this JOT until the Operations Course begins, tells us that the JOT appreciated the briefings very much and that it made him feel more like a full- fledged member of his class, which he will not be joining until March. 4. EOD Briefing On 25 January, presented the CIA Introduction to 14 EOD's at Headquarters. There have been a number of difficulties attached to the EOD briefings we have given in this room (GA-13) first with the projection equipment, and Approved For Release 2000/06/06 : CIA-RDP78-0 6A000100010017-2 ~fl~a EXCIudcd it", -M ?yloinalfr. doWriZr dint end dey!zsa+iicatI Approved For Release 20OW06/06 : Cl 60 096A00010001>*j last week with the overhead projector. Since this is the first: formal OTR training program which the EOD's receive, we feel that it should run as smoothly as possible. 25X1A Through , we have called this problem to the attention of the Office of Security, which is respon- sible for the room. 5. 25X1A 25X1A Participation in National Interdepartmental Seminar Session On 21-22 January, participated, as guest of in a two-morn ng seminar entitled "How to Run a Seminar". The program was conducted by Dr. L. Harvey Poe, President of the International Technical Assistance and Development Corporation, for NIS instruc- tional personnel. Dr. Poe only briefly expounded his concept of what a seminar should be or not be before launching a round- table disic+nssion on "The Purpose of the State... the Confrontation of Communist and Democratic Ideologies". The historic Western view was first developed; then the Communist. Although some participants seemed to feel that they were not learning much about the technique of semi- nars, nearly all commented that it had been a good mental exercise in forcing them to articulate their principles. , CIA's official Seminar representative, was one of the outstanding participants in developing the main theme of both sessions.

By arranging the students at four groups of tables we find that we can accommodate this number comfortably in Room 603. EXECUTIVE SEMINAR MTF met with John Clarke last week to complete the assignment of the participants to various teams. We feel that we arrived at a very workable arrangement. Everything has been done that can be done in preparation for this Seminar. accompanied by Mr. of the Office of Logistics, conferred last week in New York with and in regard to a contract with S Acceptable terms were arrived at for future dealings with this corporation, and we expect to finalize the contract soon. A security officer and an auditor have also visited this corporation in connection with the proposed contract. PILOT PROJECT of the Office of Finance has provided us with a list of those who will take Phase I of the Pilot Project. We are awaiting r I \!~, the arrival of course materials before doing anything more. Mr. John Clarke has said he would like to enter four of his staff in the first class of the Pilot Project.

Visit to IBM: At the invitation of members of the Clerical Training Faculty visited IBM at 1225 Nineteenth Street, N.W. on 28 January 1965. There they were given a demonstration of IBM's new machine called the Magnetic Tape Selectric Typewriter. This instrument performs similarly to the Flexowriter but uses magnetic instead of punched tapes. Two of the machines are already in use in the Agency.

No definite time for the course was known at the first meeting. When 25X1A had established the dates of the course with NPIC, he again met with to discuss the 25X1A various segments of the course. The course is to be offered in three half-day sessions a week from 8 February through 26 February. During this period, 25X1A will not be able to participate because of his present schedule.

It would have been much more logical to have had h b in- t f course. The training to be given by and 25X1A will be on 15 February and on 19 February. 25X1A This request to establish and give a course on the Geog- 25X1A about their work. In the seminar that followed, the stu- dents demonstrated that they had learned a great deal about the production of geographic intelligence and had a good understanding of the subject. This group of JOTS appears to be capable, highly motivated, and to have a high degree of class spirit. Another distinctive char- acteristic of this class is a willingness to ask questions. Some JOT classes do, and some don't. This class does, and makes it a pleasure to teach. 4. Intelligence Production Course No. 11 started on 25 January with 20 JOTs evenly divided between male and female. Once again the pretest showed them how much they had forgotten about the DD/I and DD/S&T since the e eg rom the Intelligence School handle the request ning. The Intelligence Production Faculty has three geographers who are interested in and capable of offering such a course. They are also knowledgeable of NPIC and have the necessary clearance to work with NPIC, and they also have the intelligence production knowledge and con- tacts with the other Agency components necessary for offering an up-to-date course from the functional inter- ests of intelligence and more particularly from that of photographic interpretation. 3. The JOTs in the Intelligence Production Course have completed their training on the first subject of the course, Geographic Intelligence. The students had two and a half days on maps which they greatly needed. On the map pre-test only two of the JOTs demonstrated any ability to use maps for intelligence purposes. The grades ranged from 82 to 12 with the third highest grade being a 68. All demonstrated considerable improvement on the final map exercise. As part of their training on Geograph- ic Intelligence, the JOTs 'spent a full day in the Geograph- ic Research Area of ORR being briefed by the Chief, Mr. and each of the three division chiefs. In each division they spent time talking to individual analysts GROUP 1 Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassiticatlno Approved For Release 2000/06/06 CIA-RDP78-06096A000100010017-2 Approved For Releast-2000/06/06: ei RDP78-06096A00010110G17=2?

Despite the horror of facing a test the first day, they seemed eager and willing to plunge into the course. 5. has requested that ye review the `OAU'l Defense Intelligence School's plans for production train- ing in its new JOT course.

CIA Introduction: On 18 January, I gave the EOD briefing for 22 new employees, and on 25 January, - presented the briefing for 25X1A 14 persons. BRIEFINGS OF U.S. GOVERNMENT GROUPS 1. US Arm : On Tuesday, 19 January, I gave a lecture to over 400 officers at the US Army Armor School at Fort Knox,. Kentucky. I am usually treated well in all of the military posts which I visit; in this case, the Army really outdid itself. Last year I had a Captain as an escort officer; this year I was met by an "honor guard"--a Lt. Colonel, a Major, and a couple of enlisted men who bowed and scraped their way through my whole visit. I was mystified but asked no questions and enjoyed, for 24 hours, the luxury of being a. VIP. I had lunch with, the Commanding General of the post and also Major General Hurlbit, the G-4 of the Area Command under which Ft. Knox comes, and Brigadier General Murdoch, who is in charge of the Armor School, and other assorted Colonels from Ft. Knox. We had a very pleasant time. In the afternoon before I left, my escort officer and 1-had a little libation, shall we say, on company time in my rather magnificent quarters. The mystery of my treatment was cleared up when he asked me, with great deference, how it was that a man as young as I could achieve the position of a GS-19, which was, after all, the rank of a Lt. General. I assured him that while I was not complaining about my salary, I was not a GS-19. (To myself I thought that I had never even heard of such an animal.) And then he made a remark which I shall cherish for a long time as the nicest compliment which has been paid me since I have been a briefing officer. "Well," he said, "you certainly carried it off nicely." And we both had a fine laugh on that one. I might say that the briefing did go very well and they seemed very much pleased with it. I might also say that I am attaching a newspaper clipping which indicates that con- siderable gold was removed from Ft. Knox that week. You may draw your own conclusions with my hopes that they will be charitable. do CHANGE IN CLAW L-J ss,F,Eq CLASS. CI4AN(ED'TO: IS 4
