A. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
Nothing to report.
B. OTHER ITEMS
1. On 9 November 1965 I spoke wit SR Division,
as he had once served a tour nd has an interest in
training, about SR training as o now told me that to the
best of his knowledge SR was not itself doing any training of its
staff personnel. I intend to pursue the matter of the exact status
of training in both SR and EE Divisions. My efforts to make contact
wit nd begin a discussion with him of the present
program which we are conducting for EE, and to determine if there
is any other training activity being given, has not been possible
because of involvement in the present program. He is also
to be out all this week.
2. is making a background study of the TSD
bloc of instruction proposed for inclusion in a two-year CT training
program. Apparently the 23-da ackage proposed by former
TSD Training Officer is not accep
the new TSD/TRO. A any rate , ave furnishe ith
TSD coverage in the present training of the CTs. nce e as
had an o ortunit to study this, he would like to r n e a meeting
first wit and then wit It was
o proposed at a first go-around be held in his office
before seeing the ADDP.

10 November 1965 I attended a meetin with 25X1
nd training and security officers o problem 25X1
con inue revolve around the need to train certain of th
whose EODing into the Agency is most sporadic. While th
of the meeting was to consider a holding type operation which would
I'D permit a certain amount of reading and indoctrination while final
clearances were pending, this was quickly conside ractical
and not truly a saving of time needed for training. 7 problem, 25X1
as I noted at this meeting, is its inability to determine e numbers
that it will have aboard at any one time, thus creating a situation
incompatible with regularly scheduled training courses. Hopefully,
we can resolve these problems by attendance in our regularly
scheduled courses, but frankly I doubt that we will be so lucky.
4. On 16 November I discussed the NIS Coordination Conference
wit He mentioned having discussed the matter
wit an tat and I should plan to attend.
